Sick of poker??

[Ianmacca99]

Are any of you guys sick of the constant barrage of beats? ATM I'm thinking of quitting online play. In the last two days alone I've lost huge(for me) cash game pots £400+ once when I had 99.3% equity on the flop and the other flopped top set on both occasions the opponent has inexplicably jammed the entire stack into the middle first hand I've got JJ on 22J board and he has AK runs out A on turn A on river.
The other I've got KK on K63 and the other guy has 94s he goes runner runner for flush. I know it's paranoia thinking this but why would someone rip there entire stack in 10-15 x pot these situations .
I've been thinking do the they know the outcome of the hand can they see my hand and know they can get my entire stack. Does anyone else ever have these thoughts ?or just me

Ps in-between this I lost a 3 way allin with AA v KK and JJ for £300+ Jacks flopped a set and held

the game of poker makes it all possible

but your problem is that you are losing money


I recommend playing only for money that is not a pity to lose

if such a situation happened during freerolls, you would surely just smile

if it's no secret at which poker site it happened

 

[Ianmacca99]

PP I've heard stories about other sites though don't know if true. I've got a tournament tonight I've got a ticket for a some bonuses then I'm going to take a break I think

Understand the game you are playing, suck outs are possible and will happen - without the luck factor there would be a lot less weak players in the game, most people just don't understand how much luck. The game is beatable, just not to the degree some people seem to think it is.

To answer your question, we all get sick of it from time to time, trick is to deal with it, if you can't take a break from the game or try switching your game, play something with much higher variance at much lower stakes and train yourself to be impervious to bad run outs.

Of course I know there's times when I've got there against a stronger hand but it seems to be way way less than when I've got someone absolutely crushed

Better players suffer more bad beats, you'll be getting it in behind less often so need to suck out less often - don't let it get to you, just make sure you are bankrolled to deal with the swings (which can be wild in any game).

Don't get paranoid either, take a deck of cards and deal out the hands you've lost in - then keep dealing boards until you hit one where you lose in the same way you did, in most cases you won't have to deal that many out - these aren't one in a million occurrences. I don't know if your are playing live, if you are and have the slightest doubt about cheating just don't play those games. Online is safe these days, too many eyes watching - but be vigilant as always.

Part and parcel of the game is the mental side and that is a part of it I just don't have locked down. I'm an very competitive person and hate getting beat at anything. I can completely instantly shake it off if I've made a bad play or haven't got a bluff through but when I've got someone not just beat but unbelievably crushed 90%+ equity that's when I get quite angry and I need to learn how to deal with it

Its primarily online I play. I know obviously these things can happen but just seem to way too often. I watch a lot of poker streams on YouTube and in the last couple of days alone there is highlight reel beats I just need to deal with it better and not get so angry

 

[monkeytilter]

Awareness is the first step to dealing with it, sounds like you know what you need to fix. Play lower stakes where the the sting of losing ££ is less for a while or take a break completely as you said you might.

Look at poker as an investment game, your Individual investments might swing up and and down over time but keep making good investments and overall your wealth will grow, Do you think bookies get upset when a punter scores on a 20-1 shot? No, they know that money's coming back in the long term.

This happens to all poker players from time to time.In this case, we make sure that the system is against us.I am also in wave valley now, because I lost the 7th tournament with super cards... You have to go through this. If you can't, you have to go through phentermine.

Phentermine? I think he's lost enough, that's the point

again I only see a few unlucky hands here why so few winning hands are advertised

cardschat should ban showing losing hands but only allow winnings

I mean I did set over set someone and flush over flush in the same session so my opponents have felt some pain as well

Correct

The situation when a player makes 3 illogical decisions is strange. There are two explanations, Im not to mention one, and the second is that from the beginning his backup plan was to bluff

 

[mattiebumpo]

I think the beats you describe are really bad when people are playing for actual money. I've seen things like that in free rolls. If it was happening to me in a real money game, I would reevaluate my bankroll and only continue playing if my bankroll allowed. As for the site, if those kinds of inexplicable plays happen a lot, I would stop playing there.

Yeah I agree they could be trying to elicit max fold equity. But once they have donated with over 92% and 99.3% equity you would expect to win at least one

i dont smile after beats even in freerolls. i swear !

 

[odonob]

Yep the constant bad beats are hard to take. Not enjoyable at all to be honest. Bad calls keep winning. Not much fun really.

Do you really think other players see your cards? I've never had that feeling (well, maybe sometimes in spin & go at pokerstars ). I think that official poker rooms thoroughly check players for any kind of cheating.

 

[shanest]

take a break.

maybe drop down in stakes. if you keep getting it in good in the long run you will win

 

[okeedokalee]

Yes, make the decision now and quit. Those losses are crippling, financially and mentally.
