Hi guys,

I am really newbie at poker, after studying mainly SSS NL Holdem I tried to start...well first two weeks some downs and ups...but last two days...I am furious about hands some people are playing. (Lost about 8$ during last two days from starting capital)

First case:
Preflop
Hero: KK - I raised (about 4x BB) and only one opponent called
Flop: 2 J 7 all different suites - I bet, opponent called..
Turn: 5 - I bet , opponent reraised, I went All-in, opponent called
Hands were: me KK oponnent Q2 offsuite
Showdown and river: 2
Opponent win all money with tripple 2.....:-(

I went to kitchen to have a glass of cold finlandia (vodka)....

Second case:
Preflop
Hero: AA - I raised (about 6x BB) two opponents called
Flop: 3 Q 6 again all different suites - I bet, only one opponent called..
Turn: 9 - I bet , opponent went All-in, I hesitated, but called
Hands were: me AA opponnent J3 offsuite
Showdown and river: 3
Opponent win all money with tripple 3.....:-(
I went to kitchen to have a two glasses of cold vodka....

Barry Greenstien was wrong.....Ace on the river....blaahh, 2 and 3 on the river....

Your comments are appreciated.....did I do something wrong ?

Today I lost four out of five AA showdowns, through various games, tournaments, FLH cash games and some SNG. It happens, but if you are a newbie and not totally OK with having big swings I seriously suggest u play FLH.

Both of these guys are FISH and were semibluffing you, trying to represent a set. Mark them and play more hands with them.

Also download some poker tracking software as it helps you a lot in these kinds of spots. Also you will have hand histories that you can easily copy and paste here in the forums.

Best regards

Hi Janestudent,

I have the same problem yesterday. I catch from one fish 5 bad beats. I have HM manager and saw his statistic. I played SSS. Another TAG players win with him. But when I played again him he has every time set of three of kind. I played AA, KK, AK. I lose against him 12 dollars. It was very bad day.


I am beginner. Excuse my bad English. I am from Slovakia.

Dont worry about this, on the long term it dont counts, because of two reason:

- your goal is to win the most money with your strong hand against weaker hands. You got your stack in good, they sucked out. You played it good.

- these suckouts will even out on the long term: you will also suck out on others in some cases

one thing, but i dont really know the sss rules: maybe you should get in your stack earlier with these hands

Hi Jane,

I don't really get why you are furious with the hands your opponent were playing - you should be happy!

Most of the time you will win against this type of play and having people call to the river with bottom pair is a godsend to solid players.

Off course it will also mean the occasional bad beat like you had, but basically I would love to get my stack in the middle with KK against Q2o or AA against J3o.

As Slimijs states, you should mark them as "Friends" and play a lot more against them ♠_cool:

So forget about being furious - be happy and write it off as pure bad luck, and go play some more solid poker.

Best regards

Read the poker mindset.
Then, read poker mindset again.
