Hello everyone, I've been playing online poker now for about 6 months and I need help on learning the basic techniques that I am just not getting I keep getting frustrated when I get bad beats

Thank U 4 Posting.
Step 1 Define your game.
online poker includes Tournaments- cash games -Sit and Go's and the variations of each. Freerolls- Satellites etc -cash 6 handed 9 handed 2 handed- free games- Micros- medium stakes -Zoom -Turbo 50/50's
So exactly what do you play?
NL- PLO -PLO8 -STUD?
The reason for this is, you said you have trouble with the basics. Fixing the basics starts with clearly defining the one type of game, you should be playing, as a beginner, only one type and then defining what exactly you do not understand about that game.
So if it is tournaments of the freeroll kind? Suckouts are so common that the basics of that game involve knowing they happen all the time and that you are likely to only succeed in less than 1-20 if they are large field donkaments.
I have lost 20 donkaments in a single day and that is not unusual for me. I lost 10 one day 7 out of the 10 I was 70% favorite or more in my final hand.
Did I get pissed off you bet I did. Does it help your game? No it does not.
But I feel your pain.
What can you do about that frustration?
Work on your game by being very specific so the community can help you.
So let us know what do you play, at what buy-in? How many tables at the same time?
List what you think you need to know about.
Bet sizing or board reading or villain reads etc etc etc.
Post a hand example.
Look at how others post hand examples and try to give the same level of information.
We will try to help you. Help us help you.
