Do you feel you lose most all-in scenarios?

I get bad beat SO much on these sites (ACR mostly tho recently a few on ignition). I'm typically up and playing well, gradually chipping away at a rate of about net $30/hour at 10/25 from 4 tables, then suddenly I get into an all-in situation where I'm a 93+ favorite and lose hard.


This happens repeatedly and always vs people who don't talk and shouldn't be making these garbage calls and shoves they do but then they suck out. My biggest bad beat for $70 was from a guy with 0 pairs, post-flop, with a K/J of H. He all-in'd me with my 3 queens (I ofc called. Flop was dry and I had trips) and suddenly he gets a heart on turn and another heart on river to make a flush. Why would he all in there? That is so shady and suspect. Tho that's beside the point.


Does anyone else feel this way? I'm trying to not psych myself out but getting to the point where I'm terrified of all-ins even when I hve the nuts at the time. It's starting to mess with my play.

Sure, i bet we all feel that way from time to time. Speaking about myself, when that kind of situations happens one after another or even a couple of times anytime in one session i start to play tight and carefully beyond of necessary, which ofc affect my profit. I’ve noticed the same thing and i find myself in situations that i want to play even more after beats like that but the best choice is actually to logout for an hour or two just enough to clear my mind, to chillout, play some video games or whatever and i’m on my A game again. I get you, it’s a struggle and this is some maybe weird way how i deal with it.

Hello guys,Is there any list with individual rake in every casinos / poker sites? Because I would like to do a comparison between them and find which of them is cheaper. A friend of mine told me about one with 0% rake, but it sounds to good to be true, so I'm looking for information to be able to make decision. Some rake seems to be really huge (over 5%).

No. I win most of them because I know when to put the money in.

I'm sure that more I win, because I only go with strong hands, but always a bad appears on the way

It is more probable that you remember bad beats more cause you react to them. For example, if you shove with AA 10 times and get called with 27o every time, you will win 9/10, but you will only remember that one where you got beat cause it is a real pain to lose that way...So, if you are getting your chips in with hands better then your opponents, don't worry about bad beats. In the long run, you win.

Here's the only way to look it at, and this has saved me from a mental breakdown:

If you shove while you are well ahead, you did nothing wrong.


Players are going to call with nothing/draws and they are gonna pull miracles and beat you. It happens. But so long as you are ahead when you shove/call, you're playing well.

I know this situation too. Today was also such a day. I lost 3 tournaments with the best hand on the river. And at all tournaments just before the money.

One of the hand was AQ and the other player had A8. I pushed all in and he call me. The last card is a 8 and my tournament was over.


A other tournament I am on the button and i pushed all in with 9/10 and i get a call from the small blind with 9/4 and guess what happened on the river? Yes a 4. I hate these suck outs, but the more man plays the more often you experience these.


Thats Poker but in the long run you should still win profits if you play a perfect poker.

I know what you mean, I have had multiple times where I go all in or have scenarios like that and I get beat with hands that shouldn't even be called by my opponent.


Its hard to take, but I still play because I like the game of poker no matter how frustrating it is.

Most of the time I go all in since the flop in 70% of the hands I lose, but playing cautiously since the flop, I win 60% of the time. The key is to bet and fold each face-to-face community card, since the chances of the villain getting the flop are the same as yours. The differential being the strength of the hand in the preflop.
