Message: [QUOTE="Chris_TC, post: 722074, member: 19538"] Absolutely. It means that you don't win enough hands that don't go to a showdown. The blue line minus the green line is your Non-showdown winnings. That's -$700, the goal should be to get this to break-even or better. I'm not 100% sure whether you can fully break-even at NL25 because people may not be willing to fold often enough. But I think it should be doable. TAG players will make most of their profit in showdown pots, so as long as you break even in non-showdown pots, you'll be in great shape. You do this mainly by not giving up too easily, by bluffing a bit more and by not being afraid of double- and sometimes triple-barreling when you feel your opponent is weak. When you called a preflop raise with 99, the flop comes K74 and your opponent c-bets there's generally no reason to fold just because there's an overcard. Likewise, if you c-bet a ten high board with pocket Jacks, get called and the turn it comes a Queen or a King, there's generally no reason not to bet out again. If it comes an Ace, you should definitely bet out again because even the biggest calling stations tend to fold when an Ace hits, they don't have one and the other guy bets. Don't become a calling station, but also don't give your opponents too much credit, especially if they have position. Even very conservative players tend to bet when you check to them twice, no matter what they have. Sure, there's always multiple ways to play it, just mix it up a bit. Yeah, I mean you shouldn't always auto-fold just because you face resistance. But you have to be very careful on those boards. A9 will not tend to raise you very often on that flop, most players will just call. [/QUOTE]
