Is 9 bets even losing? No moving down.

If I go $300 in the tank or I play another 600 hands and I'm not winning I may consider it. Watch a game dude. There is some good competition but I've realized the following things.

1) You have to give 100% concentration to making reads in/out of hands. This is the single most important thing so far for me.

2) You have to go to showdown a ton. People will cap with small flush draws out of position, heads up. People will bet out with 3rd pair heads up and 3-bet you if you raise with 2nd pair.

It's like it's monopoly money to some of them.

3) More people see the flop than in a full ring game at 3/6. Your raises are going to get cold-called EVERYTIME.

4) You have to take your continuation bets to the turn on raggedy flops. Don't be afraid to do this. You will get auto-called on the flop by a ton of players. If it's still rags on the turn, AK is gonna be the best hand. I continue betting against a good number of opponents.

I've won hands betting AK on the river getting called by a weaker ace. I even check/called on the river with AK and beat a bluff by AJ yesterday. I bet flop and turn.

5) You cannot try to steal from the button with shit cards. I've lost money trying to make steals that are just not going to happen. Some people will play any two.
