  4. What do you mean "get in good most of the time"

    Are you calling someone else who goes all-in and you find out you have the edge going to the next street?

    Are you flipping a lot? By definition, getting it in thin means you are losing about 45% to 50%+ of the time. Of course this may not be avoided some of the time. That's just poker.

    Maybe try tightening your range OOP. Try to find some of those spots, and not call all-in unless you have a larger edge. It's probably good to go thin in cash when you can re-load the next hand. Are you trying to play sherriff and pick off everyone that throws out a bluff. Have you ever been bluffed out of a pot?

    You might look for ways to save some chips. On high blinds situations, how are you sizing your bets. You can get the same information with 2.2 to 2.6 bb's pre-flop in case you have to fold. With the limited information you provided it's hard to condense a life time of experience into 15 to 20 lines in the forum.
