Is it jsut me or are the players getting worse and worse but also much luckier.
For the past month im losing everything, all hands im dominating in like AK against A10 and especially all coinflips like AK against low pockets. This is a great example to bad play winning anyway:

My first impression is that you werent playing BSS because you only have 7.10$ stack on a 25$ max.

Maybe your were doing SSS on NL25 but that cant be it because you have to step out with 25BB which is 6.25$.

The player did play badly but i think he wasnt scared to lose 6-7$.

Stick to SSS, it happens but in the long run you will be the big winner!


I dont quite play SSS, I reraised him like that because i was sure he was trying to bluff with his raise.

Well the beat is a pretty bad one - although Dykiller is correct that you were deviating from the SSS strategy.

When playing according to strategy you need to:

#1) Leave the table at 25BB
#2) Pre-flop raise to 4BB (1$)
#3) After his re-raise push all-in (you are commited anyway)

:)

And yes on some days one really gets the feeling that bad players have bought up all the luck in the universe :O

Best regards and I advise you to re-read the strategy articles and to stick to the strategy :)

If you dont like SSS like you said (I assume you dont play it because you dont like it)

Then maybe moving down to NL10 (0.05$-0.10$) would be a wise choice.

naturally the worse players get the more they will suck out... it's the nature of poker.. if a player gets his money in with the worst hand more, he's going to suck out a proportionate amount more...

Thought I would add my 2c worth. Preflop, your opponent's play is HORRIFIC! unless 96o = new AKs.... on the flop however, he had the pot odds to call you...approx. $13 in the pot, $1.10 to call with a gutshot straight draw i.e. approx. 16% chance of hitting. Turn and River are so SICK!
