6 times I had KK and someone else had AA

Loosing with the nut flushdraw against a guy who picked up a straightflush on the river

Last approx. 12 times AK didn't hit anything

I've lost my fullhouse's 68%

When I suddenly pick up a pretty ok hands like top two pair + someone also pick's up a hand but somehow it usually turns out to be just a little bit better than mines and somehow it usually happens against players which play awful those makes the pots pretty big

about 80% of the bluffs ( on good boards ) turn out to be in the wrong time, but the value bets somehow are highly respected. (my bet sizes are ok)

I must say I am really really panicked and scared when I get two pair or a set. Really... it's not like I tend to overpay them but still... there is some betting going around when you get them, right ?

Have I just been very lucky before and this is actually the normal way of poker ?

You are exactly what I was like a year ago. Making shitty posts about bad beats looking for some attention. No one cares it happens to everyone, you are no different from the rest. The sooner you realise that you might become a better poker player.


As Toby said...it happens to everyone eventually...
Keep playing your A game, read articles and watch videos, and you will be OK. If you are not sure how to play some hands...post them in the evaluation forums...it will be way more productive than wining about bad beats and suckouts... ;)

GL :f_cool:

+1.


I agree with first post. When u are winning big time, next day u lose everithyng posiblle, u have feeling its rigged.. Thats sad, and thats not poker :(


i guess your right. but then you must know how it feels and it's hard not to freak out.


That's poker baby !

If you are getting scared and panicked with flopping a set or two pairs, maybe you don't have the nerves necessary to be a good player ? Just saying...


That's just yesterday and today. People do get superstitious in these spots

this was about 6-7 hours of playing...feeling better? there there, it will pass..


Be honest with us :P and show us your winning line and your all-in expected winnings?

These 2 are going to be close each other in long term...

And later on, no worries, you will ship your 666 to 888 and hit your 6, etc. That just sometimes happens...

What an utterly useless post.

What kind of "advice" is this to give to a newcomer? And what kind of a way of talking to someone who hasn't even offended you in the slightest?

You say you experienced the same thing a year ago. Then you must know that he is currently unable to determine if what he is experiencing is a downswing or simply bad play on his part, and that this can leads to tons of self-doubt. Do you think the best thing to tell him right now is that he is an attention whore?

To the original poster:

Yes, it is most likely a downswing, but you need to post some of your hands in the forums so that other, more experienced players, can take a look and tell if it was really bad luck, or simply bad play. It is hard to say that from just "Kings got beat by aces."

Who told people that losing with AA vs KTo is threadworthy? I feel the same as TobyCS. I dont care.

Oh and yeah, you're probably on a downswing. Its not that hard to figure out.
