Can,t seem to beat 5p/10p

edited March 2011 in Poker Chat
I,ve not bee losing huge amounts but I,m having more losing sessions than winning ones - i can,t go back to 24/4p as its to frustrating and Iwant to improve my game

I,ve started playing a few HU matches on another site just for 10 dollars and although I used to consider it one of weak points , through practsising on forum competitions my Hu play is much improved

i don,t know whether to play more HU matches on here or stick at the 5p/10p until my reults start getting better as i would prefer to be a winning cash player than at anything else.

My MTT form isnt bad and I think its only a matter of time before I win a decent one , but I can,t rely on that

Any help for my cash predicament ?- plz advise away

    what helped me and im playing same levels are u at mo, is i played DYM non stop for about 3 days or more and since i have done cash since i have a different mindset and am doing well at the mo. i dunno why it is but maybe that could work?

    HU alot of variance imo when u run good u can win alot but same for when u run bad better 2 or more tabling cash

    Ive been playin a fair few £5 HU turbo's recently and been doin gd,as for cash table selection is everything and i also play 5/10.

    Was playing this afternoon and YOUNG_GUN showed up on my table,now imo that ruined the dynamics of the table as he as at least the same ability as myself and so i left the table.

    Easy solution to this mate, just look for me on the 5/10p tables & you'll boost your BR in no time ;)

    For whatever reason(s) I'm playing really bad at the moment & have been for the past 3 months now.

    Play tighter.

    If playing tighter will lead to boredom, add more tables.

    Thats true

    i think playing MTT,s or even sattelites I,m possibly get used to playing to aggro as it  can work for me there, but maybe not in cash and will try to adapt and maybe some DYM,s  - Cheers

    Decided to go against all advice and went to 10p/20p 2 tabling  - result - lost £50

    Thought I would go back to £5 DYM,s for a bit as at least the swings arnt so great and get some confidence back

    Then this happens
