What is the problem ?
If you do not like poker, find another hobby.

Hello, bad streaks are normal in poker, and in any poker room you are going to have bad streaks.
In different forums I have seen players complaining about pokerstars, partypoker, 888poker, winamax, etc., as you can see, nobody is happy anywhere.

They are streaks, we usually remember the negatives, I come from losing with KK like 6 times in a row vs worse hands is part of poker, the important thing is to keep playing well, that your way of play does not modify it and continue learning day by day

When you sit down at the table, don't think about winning. Just enjoy the game. With pleasure come victories. And if you dream of victory will be one disappointment. It's not a job. Relax and have fun

Do not worry, it is not critical. You probably just do not have enough patience. Poker is a great hobby and just try to enjoy it.

Even top poker players also have downswings so you have to accept that thing. Poker is not a win-win game even you do it perfectly. I know it really stressful if you play poker for the money. But if you try and change your mindset, I think you will feel better.

Who said poker was easy.

It's a familiar condition when you think that poker is not the quality you want to get. I always try to get into every game of poker, but sometimes the very quality of the institution or online poker reduces everything to zero.

If you want to play online poker you need to have patience because unfortunately bad beats it will happen all the time

Poker is very hard.

I do not understand where your anger is going, if by losing with good hands or the rooms, the truth is that I think you are mistaking the problem. I have lost a number of times with AA as well with many other cards, but this is so no good move ensures you win.

need a little patience and work on the game

Relax. Go away from poker for a while. Also do some research on poker sites before deciding to play on one.

You should take a time, and look for others activities, and then go back and stump in Poker

I would suggest to analyze and work on your mindset. While Online poker is sort of convenient to play i. e. lots of rooms, many players, games, tournaments etc. you also have to keep in mind that online poker is really fast. You will see way more action in a short period of time, subsequently more bad beats. I was very frustrated about that in the past, too. Here is what helped me: 1. Try to learn as much about winning strategies as possible. As mentioned above the 30-day free course offered here is a very good start. 2. Start thinking long-term: loosing pocket aces against 75o when villain hits the gunshot straight on the river sucks tremendously, but when you have played your AA the right way you may have lost one or a few battles, but you are not going to loose the war. And that’s what Poker is all about: winning long-term. Poker strategy worked for me to adjust my mindset and I enjoy playing online more than ever since.

It all depends on you, nobody forces you to play. If you get excited, find yourself another hobby. At present, playing online is extremely difficult, as an option, try your hand at a live game if you have the opportunity.
PS: ACR also infuriates me because of the 4 hour late check-in in tournaments.

very often people are not disappointed in poker but in their expectations. people themselves have come up with a beautiful picture, and when faced with reality - disappointment comes. this applies not only to poker.

Hi Neo, thank you for posting.

ACR is a bad site through and through. They are unlicensed and unregulated and eventually will disappear with all your money. It's an archaic practice to charge for withdrawals; just another reason not to play on ACR.

With regards to coolers, you need to accept that this happens EVERYWHERE, even live. I recently saw a hand, thankfully I wasn't involved in. 7 handed KK, AK, AA, AK, QJ. The money all went in preflop and the QJ won with a rivered straight, complete madness, but it happened. The thing with online is that you play 4 or 5 times as many hands in an hour that you would live, and that is before you start multi-tabling. If you're playing 4-5 times as many hands, you've got to expect 4-5 as many bad beats and coolers, right?

As for PokerStars, it's not their fault if someone else used your phone number, either deliberately or in error. I get your frustrations, but I would also be pleased to see they are doing their due diligence before allowing you to go ahead and put money on their site. This enhances their reputation in my mind, not diminish it.

I have had bad luck in poker for almost three months, recently I managed to get cashes in tournaments..

If you're frustrated with poker, maybe you should take a break and come back later to play.
