hello everyone...
i've been playing poker since last august, just sort of messing around, but now i want to take it seriously, and i'm going to start by grinding 6 max sng turbos. i've also been playing the 45 man mttsngs, but i really need to focus one thing. since august i've been jumping from cash, to mtt's, to 9 man. then i played some zoom. so i never really learn anything.
i decided on 6max sng's because i find them less tilting than cash, but i would also like to play mtt's at some point, maybe just as a side thing. i have an impulse control problem in "real life" and that effects me when playing cash, so it's better to be on the safe side, where all i can lose is my buy-in for the stt.
anyway, to the point. there are players that just won't fold. even when i go all in, and they have nothing. however, the last few days when i've been putting in more volume than ever, i keep getting sucked out on the river. the one that made me angry the most was when i lost with AA to 82o. lol... i don't mind losing to a set or something, but that was unreal. the game just before that i lost with a set of kings, because someone had 22 and wouldn't fold, river comes a 2, and they get a full house. they were re- raising me all the way to the river with the two other kings that came out on the flop!! like they knew the 2 was coming!!
i know they don't care because as soon as they bust out they just open another game and do it over again, but it's really bothering me and it makes me not enjoy playing.
i just fold most of the time, because i don't want to give them any more chips than necessary, although i know they more than likely have nothing, because they're raising every hand and street. it just sucks that i'm pretty sure they have nothing but i chicken out and fold.
so i want to start grinding the 1.50 6 max games, and i want to know, does this only happen in the micros? will things get better as i move up stakes? i played a few games this morning, and the other 5 people i was playing with all had vpips between 60 and 85.
at what stakes does this behaviour end, if at all?
i know i need to be able to beat these players to be a better player myself, but i really can't handle it.
i've also started reading a few books and downloaded some videos to help me out, so i really need to get stuck into that.
thanks
