I'm a newbie, more or less, to the world of poker, but I've come up with
one possible cause for your issue.. You gotta bluff every once in
awhile. Even in just ridiculous instances. You want to do a bit of
advertising that you're capable of trying to steal a pot here and
there. As your opponents probably figure out, if you're only playing
power hands and often win with them, they won't be apt to throw much
money your way when you're aggressively playing.
In his book "thursday night poker," Peter Steiner says that if you
never fail at bluffing, you're not doing it enough. That is to say,
you're going to make a lot more money over say, a month of play, if you
bluff 20 times and succeed 16, than if you only bluff 10 times and
succeed 10 times. You've got to figure out that balance, once your
failed bluffs become more detrimental to your bankroll than they need
to be.
