Hello everyone!
I really need some help here. It seems like every time i go to the casino, i always lose. I know a lot about the game and some basic stradegy. I watch Poker After Dark every weeknight and High Stakes Poker on Saturdays, and any wsop game i can find. I'm getting really good with poker terminology. If there's something i'm not sure about i write it down. I'm not great at math but i learned about the 2-4 rule and i am pretty good with that. I really have a strong passion for the game which none of my friends and family back home can understand. I really want to be a grinder type and someday go pro. I will do whatever i can to learn the game. I get really frustrated when i lose and i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I usually start out with 200 dollars as opposed to most of the other people who have maybe 4 or 5 hundred in front of them. So they definetly have me covered for an all in hand. When i play at the casino, it is no limit holdem,$1.00/$2.00 cash game. When ever i have a decent hand or just something that i think could make it, like suited cards, i would make a bet of 10 dollars, then it goes around, check, check, check, then a person will bet like 25, then another one will put in 100 dollars. It just seems like they try to raise me or make me go all in all the time. I went up against this one guy who is talkative at the table and knows the dealers and the waitresses. I had an A.K off, and he went all in and i folded, i said "nice hand" and he said what did you have an A,K? I was like, how the hell did he know? I was only there for 15 minutes. How could he know that? I don't get it. I really want to learn this game. I hope someone out there can hear me "crying out." All comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
