What would you do when your hands are beaten every time?

[millya5]

I had similar situations . The opponent with the trash hand wins . This irritates me very much and I'm going all in . In short, I give him my chips and leave the game . Then I reassure myself it’s just not my day

 

[pansipos]

The answer is simple. You are done for the day. Go home and rest. That is the +EV solution.

I think so. Me too.

Usually my competitiveness gets in the way and I realize way too late that the opponent is on his lucky strike and I'm already on tilt. But if I still have a stack when I come to this realization, I either "turn him off" from my attention radar and if I play against him - then only uber tight and careful, since what's the point of trying to beat his obvious luck, or, if my emotions overwhelm me and it's not a tournament, then I just leave, prioritizing my mental state and choosing not to fight windmills.

If I came across such a player, I would shoot him, releasing the entire clip of bullets into him, this is of course a joke, well but if seriously, then for some time, I would still try to cope with him, resorting to all my skill and knowledge, and in the case of my continued defeats, most likely I would leave the gaming table where this harmful and nasty player was. 😉

Depend what we do........if its ash game,i stop and leaving and its tournament i stop going everyhand and wait for my hand.......we need to change momentum

 

[ztibor72]

I would stay at the table and change my game.
The man looks like a fish, I hope he doesn't give my money away before I get it back!

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

when that thing happens just take a break and try another different day.

choosing not to fight windmills.

I love that turn of phrase. 😁

 

[WrongUsername]

question is why would you even play if u beat every time?

 

[Chebchoub]

You're sitting at a cash game and this one player keeps beating you continuously, no matter what you have and no matter what he's holding. He has called your raises every time and beat your prime hands with any junk cards.
What should you do?

Leave the table? Stay out of his way? Or keep trying to get your money back from him?

It happens like this, and it happened to me a lot in the past specially in PS Tempest. I think what is good is to change the table or stop, or change the game.
It's a frustrating feeling and makes me doubt the reliability of the hand or the poker room.

 

[Artbart805]

Loose, move on…

Leave the table and find another one. You need to accept that day is not your day, when I've learned that, I had saved a lot of money.

 

[TeUnit]

Seems pretty simple, play better hands or leave the table.

 

[mdnmdn]

For me it would depend on what the rest of the table is like. If I feel the table is soft and I can be profitable, I might stay but would try to stay away from the lucky one. Otherwise I would get up and find a new table.

 

[thejuice1]

if thats happening, i am just realizing its just not my night and i am getting up and leaving and ill come back and play another time. a small or medium loss is better than a huge loss. you cant win every time so you need to know when its time to just get up and walk away for the day/night.

 

[19aleks57]

In my opinion, if your best hands are losing to any trash cards, then don't waste your time and money, just leave the table.

 

[belizebum]

Try to control the pot more, play better hands, try to stay calm and if I have to find another table then that would be the last resort. If no other table, probably give up and hit the slot machines.

 

[63burner]

Leave the table, don't say a word. Make it look like you are busy, not hurt by bad luck. Then for at least an hour, do something other than cards and gambling. Make a clean break.

 

[ledsmith]

In such a situation the best decision is to leave the game. But I myself, knowing about this, make the mistake of continuing to play many times.)

 

[Gdefender]

This situation has happened to me quite a few times, so in such a case I move to another table!

 

[gravii2011]

continuing to try to get your lost money back is a bad idea; you go on tilt and lose even more money. In this situation, it’s simply not your day and it’s better to quit and return to the game the next day)

Stay calm and tighten up your play. Only play strong hands and trap them with value bets since they love calling. Use position, avoid bluffing, and adjust your bet sizes to punish their loose calls. If they’re too aggressive, mix in 3-bets to keep them in check. Stay patient—don’t force things.

 

[perrywh]

Luck is on his side today! I’ve had those days when luck out weighs skill so I walk and live to play another day.

 

[tagece]

Wait and get him later.
If the game is not rigged, who play better will win at the end.

 

[Gary_Heart]

It's a cash game and one player's +/- rags beats me continuously?
What should I do?

Leaving that table (and dealer) behind is the safe option.

But what I would do depends on my mood, bankroll and type of game.
Fight or Flight?
No matter your skill level -
Staying profitable and enjoying playing poker at the same time can always be a semi-rare occurrence at the tables.

In a MTT I would have no choice but to play through this variance of odds or shove.
So maybe I'd break my own substantial hand fold record looking for the right cards and moment.
Or maybe I'd decide to play a little and ride it out looking forward to a new table.
Or maybe I'd do both?

In single table play my mood may be curious to see how long this variance lasts and take more shots at this fish.
I'm already suspicious of the dealer, so keeping that in mind,
I'd consider the damage this could do to my bankroll against the positive outcome of busting the fish would have on the game of poker

Couple things I always keep in mind:
You can't beat dumb luck -
And nothing comes and goes more often than good luck!

As Always, Good Luck, Gary
