Bad luck and over confidence to jump all in early

I seem to get hit with the absolute worst luck sometimes

Do you know what harms you, or prevents you from being a constant winner in poker?

I believe that knowing this answer is one of the important keys to success in the game.
the other players won't cooperate :eek:

bankroll management was my #1 problem back in the day, and probably the most common underlying cause of issues for the average player. It's easy to have a losing day, or even week because of other issues, but this shouldn't prevent you from being an overall winning player if you're playing within your bankroll limits.

There is only one Answer why I am not profitable.....

I don't use any HUD or DATABASE SOFTWARE that reveals my opponents past history and past poker data.

That to me is my biggest reason why I don't win at poker.

You HAVE TO HAVE a EDGE...that software today is really expensive and impressive.

Thank you for listening....

Analyzing your hands and determine leaks in your game is more beneficial using HUD then stat while grinding during session. The only exception playing more than 6 tables to use a HUD. Otherwise taking good notes would help your play.

Many players have difficulties even breaking even let alone being able beat the rake of the specific game they have chosen to play.

I don't follow the basic rules of poker and here I mean the starting hands! I like to play too much and that's why I don't wait until I get good cards to start and I try different variations and that means I lose money on cards that I shouldn't use ... for example, I like the combination 9 - 7, of course it's not a good starting hand but something makes me not throw them and from here others follow and slowly the losses accumulate ...

Excessive excitement and a state of tilt when bad emotions prevail over a cold mind :jd4::):jd4:

Well, my opinion is that knowing the strong reasons for your failure is half the problem. The question is that understanding this, you cannot always resist the elimination of these reasons. It's easier to always blame everything on a lack of luck.

I don't have an excuse , I understand some basic strategy but I don't study because I don't care to play against tough competition , I still play those wonderful CC freerolls simultaneously with some micro / low stakes MTTs and I guess I am OK?!?! :D

Since I mostly play large fielded MTTs I know that I am not able to take down very often one of those , the variance is tremendous. MTTs are something like lose - lose - lose- win. The important thing is when you win to cover your loses and generate some profit if possible.

Probably my biggest obstacle is the lack of time for deep learning of the game.

Lack of bankroll management. I have a better control of my bank than years ago, but still not the ideal one.

I make an average of $ 40-60 a month. For me, this is a good result, considering that a year ago I was just losing money. Gradually I improve my skills and my results get better.
