I hate them!!!!! I have lost the last 5 times i have been dealt them. Each time i have been all in after the flop against 1 player for a reaonsable amount, 2 called by second pair that turns into trips, twice by a pocket pair that turns into a trips and once by a backdoor flush!!!!!!!!! what can you do?? I haven't played them badly??

Just thought it was about time I registered as i have been reading this forum for months now and have not contributed. I'd just like to take a moment to say what a fantastic forum this is, and what a great sense of community there is here. In particular the topic by Rob Yong on the WSOP was absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to read!
I am 20 years old and have been playing poker of sorts since i was 16, starting with 5 card draw, and then moving onto hold'em which i have been playing for 2/3 years. I play regularly on Will Hill, usually $20 STT's and when i have time MTT's. I did start playing cash but quickly found out what a bad beat can do to you on a cash table! I play twice a week in home games with mates, some good players, some really bad. And my local casino is the Luton Grosvenor which i play usually once a month on the tuesday or saturday £10 rebuys.......
..........bored of my poker life story yet??
However i have reached a point now in my short and undistinguished career (one 1st, one 2nd on will hill mtt's and one 5th at Luton), where i am stuck where to turn. I know i am not a bad player, but i have a lot to learn. My strengths are my discipline and patience and my weakness maybe lack of aggression at times. I'm fed up of going to the rebuys @ Luton and not being able to play poker for the rebuy section because of '' all in'' ''all in blind'' for an hour and a half and ending up waxing up to £100. If you hit cards get/ lucky then you can enter the rebuys with chips if not, you enter with a rebuy and an add on. Hardly teaching the rookies poker, just feeding the pot for the players with the bigger bankroll/experience! So the question is i think i should start playing £50/£100 freezeouts, but is this above my league or too much for a rookie to play for? I think this may make me a better player though.
Cheers Frenchy
