$23 Turbo : Should I quit poker ?

I lost 5 times in a row against this villain ( -13%, av.9$ in 260games, graph is terrible down)
he bet,
When I call he had nuts,
When I fold he showed his bluff cards proudly
he never fold to cbet almost and hit later and
when he trap me, he almost always succeed.
Shoud've decline when I lost 3 in a row ?

and I tend to lose in a row against same villain like this. I really hate this

This is 4th match (55 hands)

This is 5th match he declined at last (28 hands)

I would appreciate any suggestion for my play.

I think you will get better

I think you will get better responses if you post single interesting hands. Not many people are going to be willing to go through entire hand histories.

Also, you shouldn't take a 5 game sample so seriously. This not only happens to everyone, but happens to everyone somewhat frequently. I don't think you should quit poker yet.

i know what u feel this

i know what u feel this month i m just facing the same situation every 3 days .... u feel like murdering the dude lol

try to not play with him for awhile  cause he knows he got u on tilt and he will never be scared about any single move u do ...either u need a good run
or just wait for him to have a downswing, (on sharkscope) and then go play him ... he ll make perfect mistakes for u ...

don'(t know much about why this happens but i think meta game has a lot to do in it

Never play the same guy

Never play the same guy more then twice in a row if you have lost the 2 games.

It happened to me yesterday, the guy had a fishbowl on SS. I ground him down to 400 chips and then crashed my KK twice, then at 50/100 he sucked out...2 games in a row...

very painful

If you want to get a full review and some comments, it might be interesting to record one of your games. Just the HHF is not so interesting and misses the dynamic.

Ok, I watched both of them

Ok, I watched both of them and I think I identified some leaks in your game:

First of all, try watching these two matches while covering up your holecards - do you see anything ?  You look very weak and predictable to me - especially when oop.

I'm also seeing some patterns there:

* You're oop and you both check the flop, then you lead the turn, he flats and on the river you either check/fold or bet/fold to a minraise.  He seems to know that he can take it from you if you check the river or bet it small.  So he can basically check back all his air, then float your turn lead with his entire range and take it from you at the river.

There's also one hand where you flop big and don't take advantage of that - you bet the river big and he folds, instead of letting him bluff.

* You're not balancing your cbets properly - you often check back air (especially in limped pots on ragged boards), or only flat his donkbets with weakish hands.  Then the one hand where you hit big, you make a *huge* shove over his pot-sized donkbet.  Why ?  Just give him a rope and let him hang himself.

* You're also not balancing your limps and 3x opens properly and then not playing aggressively enough in limped pots - he can basically take it away from you each time you limp.

* There's one hand where you 3bet AJ, he flats, the flop comes QJx with a flush draw and you overbet-jam.  Why ?  You just make it easy for him to play perfectly against you.

If you play your strong hands that fast, you do not only allow him to get away cheaply, he also knows that you're weak when you're taking more passive lines, so he can take it away from you.

Btw. if you're looking for a good coach, I can really recommend you cog dissonance.  I booked a few hours with him last year where he helped me identify and fix these leaks in my game.  It's definitely worth the money.
