Im currently having an issue getting past Funstep 2. I have played several different games and lost the same way EVERY time..... suck out on the river.
Im consistantly betting all in with premium hands, no lower than A K and getting sucked out by players with hands like Qd 7c or 9s 2d on the river card. Ive noticed 2 things about the players I lose to. 1. They have no business calling with theses hands. 2. They always have a slightly larger chip stack or they have these "Stars" by their name. Now I know online poker isnt "Rigged" but Im finding it very strange that im losing the same way every time. Im a creature of habit when it comes to taking notes on players and watching how they play. Ive learned outs and pot odds so I know Im making the right moves and that hands I win with 9 times out of 10 against bad players, Im now losing with every time to the player types Ive listed above in Funstep2. Am I mising something? Advice please!!!!

Try not to go on tilt. These are games where no one has any money invested so the play is totally different from "real" poker.
I've binked a couple of FUNSTEP3's but it took a awhile. All I can say is keep plugging away!! Eventually the variance will go your way!

Guesstimate how many total hands you have online. I ask that because you seem to be at that stage where you refuse to cope with the ugly little fact that suckouts happen. AKA variance. In time you will experience the glee of being the one who sucks out on someone else. Remember that suckouts count.

Accept it, it is like gravity.

I don’t think you can actually look at fun steps as playing for anything close to playing real poker, but its a way to possibly see how good your luck is running. With no monetary value, there is relatively no risk and number of people really don’t care, seeing it as a quick why to to obtain some free money. You’ll notice a number of people go all-in their first hand, no matter what their cards. If they suck-out they then sit-out until the next step(s). They’re not spending any time and with 10 games allowed a day, they only have to hit one or two to advance. You’re best bet is to just keep playing smart and slow for the first couple of rounds until you get a feel of the table. Then you may be better able to literally wait out these types of players since they’ll whittle themselves down and finally win one.

Good Luck

So what u are saying is, shoving all in with the best hand is not giving you the desired results? Lets try playing poker and seeing a flop. Albert Einstein said a man was insane when he kept doing the same thing over and over and expecting to get different results. So change it up :)

Play at least 4, even all 10 at a time. If you lose because someone badbeat you great. You were a favourite, you should have won, but didnt.
Load up another table, play tight aggressive poker and just reload if you get beat as you can play 10 ievery 24 hours. Find out when the cutoff point is. If these games are what youre into you can play 20 every two days in one session. Collect stage2s. Play all your step 1s for step 2 tickets and play your step2s together, collect 3s. Collect the dollar!
