What games do you play?

Why do you think you are a constant loser?

There is a lot of information on all kinds of poker to be found online to become better. From how to play freeroll tournies to heads up cash games. Studying the matter, applying it and evaluating how it works can make (almost) everyone a profitable player even if it is only at lower stakes.
When you evaluate what you have tried out, don't give it up to fast but give it the time. Sometimes you have a few times bad luck the first time when you try out a new trick or strategy, but in the long run it might be profitable.
Hope that helps :)

first of all, start to learn not only play game. in the most game situation ofcourse you need luck, but from other side you must to have game knowledge (how to play, good bet size, how to use position, pot odds and one of the most important - when to make good fold). its all seems difficult, but when you learn something try to use it in the game and you will see how your game became better. Learning is one of the most important point in this game!

1. It is necessary to learn. Reading literature, watching videos. Analysis of played hands in the forums.
2. You need to be careful. Constantly watch the game of other players on the table. In the beginning it is difficult, so first of all observe the players who are sitting next to. We must not just watch the game of others, and learn how to analyze their game. Ideally you should be able to predict with any opponent plays a hand.
3. We need to learn to play without emotion. Only cold calculation and sober mind during the game.
4. More time to devote to the game. Only comes with experience and understanding of poker there is their style of play.
___________________________________
In the game of poker can not always win. Also, you will not always lose if aspire to a better game. Failures in the game should make us stronger character. So do not rastraivaytes of the failures. Analyze your game, find mistakes and not repeat them in the future.
:) Good luck in the game :)

All great advises -above - what I would like to add - is based on your comment above - I think you might have to take a good look at your Bankroll Management. It really sounds to me that perhaps you jump ahead of your bankroll and or your skill level...

When playing on pokerstars my advise is " Expect the unexpected " I've had AA three hands in a row and lost all three. When someone goes high, don't enter. My mantra is why waste $'s on a slightly good hand when I can go all in on the next

I couldn't agree more. One of the most difficult tasks is to evaluate why you lost, because we learn from our mistakes. Find out if you are making bad decisions or just having a bad run. If you are making bad decisions, you can learn to make good ones. Just remember, it is poker and making the right decision is not always going to mean you win. That's why they call them suckouts.

Because you are gambling,because you are afraid to call,because you call to often,because you call every hand,find yourself here.
Then before each hand ask yourself why i call this,why i raise this,can i bluff this.

Is the unexpected something you get less at other sites? If so, maybe the players are of influence.

Sounds like sound advice from lots of contributors here, but it comes down to how much to you "want it?" You have to put in the time, reading, asking questions, playing, analyzing, getting opinions, talking things out, seeking a buddy to shadow you and give you feedback and much more.

However, since your appeal seems genuine, I've selected you to receive a FREE coaching session from me. We will do it live, stream it live, record it for you to see later, and I will help you learn at either a STT or cash table (not free play).

Contact me at my email (myname@myname.com) and lets' set this up for this week. Al

about me

What games do you play?

Why do you think you are a constant loser?

I play a lot of poker my self. I used to lose all the time my self. until I read some where that you should play like the top ten hands. I have done that and some times if I am able to limp in I will. but then I play a lot of free rolls. in those free rolls there is a lot of donkeys that will call you or go all in on the first hand and they would do this if they have a like a A7 off suit. or 56 off suit. I join Club WPT I like it people actually play real poker I have not seen any one go all in on the first hand
