    Just loaded up all new threads as tabs, so am seeing your play pre in consecutive pages.  In the nicest possible way, think about the hands you are playing pre flop.  These are all really bad and you'll have a hard time quanitfing any success bud.

    making up with j5s in the small blind (worst position on the table post flop) is NEVER ever going to be profitable in the long run.

    This is an automuck preflop imo.  

    If you really want to play junk like J5s, then at least try and do it in position and preferably with a raise. But i wouldnt recommend playing that hand at all at 4nl. Just play big hands, strongly, and you will win consistantly.

    Yes it is is good to get in cheaply with small to medium pocket pairs, and suited aces in multiway pots. But NOT j5 of clubs!!! You were worried here because you did not have the nut flush. If you had A5 clubs you wouldnt need to be worried, and making up the sb here with A5 clubs would be fine. (as long as you remember that you are not playing to hit your ace)

    Also if you hit your flush, or your set bet it! BET BET BET!

    I would suggest loading up a couple of dudeskin's tables and watching him for a while, it might help you to avoid leaks like this.

    Seeing every flop and limping every hand will not win you money at any level long term.

    4NL is easy, wait for a good starting hand (any two picture cards will do) and raise if no one else has already. Read up on position, there are loads of articles on the internet about it. If you hit your hands raise it, if you miss the flop check it.

    That is the most basic poker strategy and fortunately, this seems to be good enough at 4NL maybe not to make money but certainly not to lose too much.

    Then, gain more knowledge by watching, reading and learning from this forum, channel 865, and any articles you find on position, hand ranges from certain positions on the table and also learn how to calculate pot odds which will help you calculate when you can chase hands.

    Take all that in and you will find results will start to improve. Its not as easy as just sitting at the table one day and becoming profitable straight away. Not many people make money from this game, and the reason is that those who are profitable have and still do work hard at the game.

    Quite a few players who post on the clinic are top drawer players. Why do they contribute? Because it also helps them and their own game.

    You play a marginal hand this way ok you limp - not good as i would rarther see you raise

    Then you hit your flop - bet

    Your hit your flush - so BET - you played to hit the flush so BET

    get your monies in

    You just need to think about what your doing a bit more m8ty
    When you hit the hand you was looking for even if you played it badly then bet for gods sake
    How you going to win if you do not bet your hands :)

    You have no real concept of how wrong you are I'm afraid.
