I was 6tabling 6max NL2 and made just over $5 in an hour as i had a few tables with some fishes. Unfortunately i had to go out so i couldn't continue playing. Anyway, i came back home and opened 6tables again. Was playing good untill i caught the first bad beat. Went all in pre with AA some guy called me with 33 and hit a set on the turn. this happened 3x (me shoving pre with a monster getting called with nothing and losing) 2x i lost as i had a high 2 pair and then a set and the guy hit his flush on the river?

Lost 11$ then went out again. Came back after a break and managed to get just under 11$

Is it possible to catch so many bad beats in 2 hours? i shoved mainly because the villains where raising so high and calling with any 2 hands but against me they always got lucky.

I didn't realise i was tilting so here is my question:

In tilt breaker what should i set ? should i set it to stop my games when i lose 150-200bb or what?

I haven't tilted so badly since i started playing seriously which is just under a month.

Stop playing once your emotions are negatively affecting how you're playing.

Threads where people say those words (or similar) never seem to end well for me when I comment on them. Utterly idiotic question.

Why does every player that tends to post threads like these only ever lose because of bad beats?

You are not tilting if you shove best hand and lose. Even if you do this over and over gain. You tilt if you play differently from the norm, or form what you should do, based on your previous bad results.

Tilting comes in many forms and guises and affects us differently. Usually tilt compounds itself from poor bankroll management and lack of understanding of variance imo.

Understand BRM and variance, then you can usually deal with losing a trivial AA losing to 33, set over set, set losing to flush etc etc many times over.

i do have a brm as i currently have 40BI for nl2 and i started off with 20.

Tilt breaker is a program that helps you with tilt (thats its job)

basically it allows you to block the cashier, block you from playing after a set time/amount of hands or stop loss etc.

Right now i have set it to block me for 30mins after a 2hour session + to block the cashier. By this i won't be constantly going into the cashier and checking my bankroll balance which usually caused me to play differently at times.

If you want a stopper on a losing run you could limit yourself to a Maximum loss of 3 buy-ins per session and also have a maximum win quit session figure.

I personally play cash rings for fun and experimentation and have a loss stop as above.

I find SNGs and bounty tournaments easier to win money.Most people I know start out successful at lower limit cash exceed their ability in higher buy-ins and crash and burn.

It must be bad beats - after all he kept shoving pre so it can't be from misplaying the flop :rolleyes:

When I find myself dropping buy ins quickly I try to take a break and clear my head.I find that many things can cloud good judgement and they are not always poker related. If me and the wife are out of sorts,problems at work etc. can cause a different mindset to creep in.And by a break I don't mean any specific amount of time an hour or several days may be the proper amount.
Bad beats happen but usually when I am on a steady roll backwards it's me not the dealer.

Losing 5 or 6 buy-ins through bad beats and coolers like you did is totally standard, and you'll need to find ways to deal with it if you're going to progress.

Definitely stopping playing for a day or two is good so you accept your new roll and don't chase losses. And try to think of it as a temporary set-back, which you will recover from. You already made 20 buy-ins, so it probably won't take you long to recover 5. That can be easily won back in one good session after-all.

Tilt breaker sounds interesting but what's to stop you just uninstalling it lol. Think I'll learn to prevent/manage tilt myself rather than relying on a program.

Because deep down, they want to continue being contributors to the poker economy.

A. AA/KK losing to another PP is not a bad beat imo

B. Tilt Breaker is a complete waste of money for someone at 2NL.

It happens me too very often and I think that the poker room wants his money back. I think that you should cash out after the first bad bet and come back in a moment.

You should cash out of any poker site you have money on(actually, you can't cash out play money so forget that) and stop playing.

Also, stop looking at your cashier/balance. Try to think in 'long term'

.
What is an absolutham badbeat? So say deep'ish' in MTT, you get it aipf 60bb deep w AA/KK & lose to 22-44 (cuz you're only 82/18).. it's not a badbeat?
What's a badbeat? Is it like quads losing to bigger quads (that'd be a cooler though).... maybe quads losing to strtFlush? Is a badbeat something that qualifies for a badbeat jackpot at live cashtables?
I'm just askin' cuz I see you write often about how most badbeats that are posted... aren't 'absolutham' badbeats.
my opinion on what's a badbeat > setting villain up to get it in real bad... then having them suckout on ya.
