Hi guys first of all I want to apologize for my bad english and i will try to speak clear so you can understand me.I have a problem against regular players they beat me almost everytime and I dont know how to fix it.I watched almost every standart content video from here before 2 months but still feel like getting owned everytime when i play against regTried to play more against guys who beat me (accept remake) just to find a way to beat them but this doesnt go very well if we played 10 matches i was winning 3 or 4 .. Im sure that i have some huge leak i started with 20$ br now i have around 1k and i play 15s right now and take shots at 30s before two days but after 0-3 i decide to go back to 15s again and now im ready to go 30 again but i still feel like i didnt improve at all and i think this will happen again and again if i didnt get better and I had hard time with regulars at any stake that i played till now not just 30s and 15s even at 7s is there any specific video that i need to watch again?i play one table onlyand i dont have hud/hem/pt is a hud needed at this level or i can beat the level without iti know that there is no specific answer to my questions when u didnt see my gameplay but still any advice is welcome thanks from now to the people who will take some of their time and give me some tips
Wow, try putting more dots in your sentences, this is just awful mess to read. Of course that regs exploit you if you don't use HUD and aren't aware of your image and are most likely playing some very exploitible style. If you have like 1000$, getting a HEM or PT for 100ish $ should be pretty mandatory.
I personally do not understand how some regs even can play BE. Every day I meet regs which could just as well play face open with their cards.First of all: you really should get a HUD. HEM and PT both have 30 to 60 days of free trial. Just make sure to download one after another and so you could use a HUD free of any charge for 60 to 120 days.Second: The most important thing in reg wars (basically in HU sngs anyways, but especially against other regulars) is: adjusting. If you open 80% and throw everything below your top 15% range and you do not adjust to other regs frequently 3betting you, you will burn money.Third: Try to figure out how a regular thinks about the game. For example: from all the Videos you do know that a A48 Board is a very good spot to make a continuation bet (which is because the A is an absolute scare card and your opponent will most likely will not have an ace). This is a spot where most of the regs will make a cbet and surrender to your 3bet unless they really have it or have a really strong draw etc. pp. Then again, against a thinking (and therefore: adjusting) regular, you cannot do this on every occasion. There also are regs which will try to pick up timeing tells.Eventually you should not accept a rematch against a strong regular ever. Usually regs decline the request immediatelly if they have to play against other regs, unless they think that they got a BIG edge on you.Remember: that someone is a regular does not make them a good player, but it means that he might have some kind of experience, which you do not have yet.
Hi.
@nekrogovner Thanks and sorry , when I write it looks good , but when I post it everything is mess and there is no edit button or something.I will use more dots in my sentences from now on.And I will get a HUD asap because I really have no idea about my image.
@Barrin That was very detailed answer thanks.
1.I wasted my HEM free trial before 1 year when I wasn't playing "seriously".So I will try PT first then buy full HEM (HEM1 is better than HEM2 right? ) .
2.Im trying to adjust to them and c-bet or check raise more often (not like when I play against a station/weak player) , but with this I think I do some spewy things and I want to fix this.
3.That's the reason I bought a membership here just to see how good players think and play. And yeah I know that a A48 board is good to c-bet but then again when I play against good players they know this too and most of the times they call this bet and on the turn when I totally miss I make another bet and I got big re-raised and I have to fold. When this happens 2 or 3 times Im not sure if they really hit or just exploiting me. Of course this example is when Im with air if i hit everything is easy. But after 2 or 3 times like this I start to c bet very rare and they steal every pot on the turn after my check on the flop and the game is almost gone. :(
4.I was trying to avoid the regulars when I started to play just because I wanted to build my roll easy as possible but after few loses against them I decided to rematch them and get better. Is this a big mistake and I just burn my money ? Should I just keep to grind same as before when I was trying to build my roll and play against weaker players and just wait to reach level when there are not much fishes and more good players ?

Thanks for the advices to both of you. I will post another reply when I get HEM and move up just to tell you how am I doing.
1. HEM 1 is considert to be better than HEM 2 right now. But this only because HEM 2 has a lot of bugs yet and does not work the way it should.2 & 3: again, if they frequently call your re-raise and bet the turn you can adjust: you can use it as value line. Do it if you hit the A, or another strong hand. Also pay attention to the size of the bet. A lot of regs use other size for value and for bluff betts or block bets. Maybe the bet on the flop was a semi-bluff (Cbet with a good draw). In poker you are allways telling a story: you can tell your opponent that you are on a fd and if the turn brings a third card of a single suit, you can try to finish the story. You just have to be carefull, that you do not tell the wrong story (it is bad if you rep to have a FD when he has the nut flush in his hand ;)) but this is something experience will show.4: Depends on your point of view, really. In term of maximing value it should be -EV. In terms of learning to play regs (who will sit you eventually anyways) it is a good thing to do. You just consider that you make the basic experience on a lower level. I personally sharpend my senses for basic play on the 3.50 HU SNGs when I had the roll for the 30$ SNGs. Btw. the edit button is at the end of your post ;)
Hi.
You can't be profitable when rematching any villain if you didn't pick up bunch of notes on him and have a general feel about how they play. Thats where your tracking software also comes in play, if you are facing a reg that you are likely face again, you should review matches off the tables and see if you missed something.
