What is your feeling when you are losing 50/50

[leon4iggg]

Every time when i lose 50/50 i am getting very upset and tilted, especially if it knocked me out of the tournament. What do you feel when its happen with you?

I think there are 2 sides to this problem.
On the one hand, you will be upset and offended by the defeat.
But on the other hand, thea has a higher chance of winning in the next duel.

I just think : Nice one donkey, let's see what happen next

My opinion

It depends on which 50/50 and how the 50/50 came about. First of all this 50/50 shouldn't of came up and second of all I am do to win that 50/50. If both add up I get angry and say there is a cheat in the house. If 50/50 goes 50/50 after that it doesn't matter if there is a cheat because thats what computers should do. Make it 50/50 for all. A good place for that bet is intertops poker. They get all the people in and don't care how good you are. ACR is for the real poker player and some bets look 50/50 but really are not 50/50 figuring in probability.

It depends on how I played. If I played it right, shake my head and move on. Can't get mad at the other guy.

50/50 is not bad. everything is much worse when 0/100 is not in my favor =)

When I lose 1-5 flips in a row, I accept it calmly. After 10 years of playing, I understand perfectly the variances. But when I lose 10 flips in a row, I change the pokerroom for a while.

Why are you getting upset in 50/50 spots? Are you actually putting yourself in coin-flip situations or are you looking at 50/50 as any 1v1 situation? There is a big difference. AK vs QQ is a 50/50 situation. AK vs J9s is not a 50/50 situation.

Other than being the favorite, 50/50 is one of the better spots to get your money in, depending for effective stack sizes. If you're flipping for 10-30, even 40 BBs, that's fine. If you're flipping for 300 BBs, that's a little different.

Hi.
I am trying to avoid a ratio of 50/50. I prefer to try to play in more perspective situations. For a successful game, the ratio of 50/50 is not enough.
Good luck.

When it comes to 50/50 situations, ask yourself this. Is a coinflip worth this much money? Literally, take a coin and ask yourself, would I bet someone this much money that I could guess right? I used to be all in on coinflips, but then I thought about it that way and have since found myself folding a lot more when the amount I would risk is not worth betting on a literal coinflip.

It all depends on which tournament I play and what amount of money I risk at such a moment. If the prize places are not far away, I will not risk it. It is better to wait for prize places.

I mean.... you shouldn't... coin flips are a part of poker. You shouldn't get mad if you lose to any percentage that you were 50/50 or any other percentage in your favor, even a 1 outer on the bubble... you got your money in good, in that aspect you already won. If you don't quit poker you will come out ahead in those spots. There is NO reason to be upset or tilted..

when I lose 50/50, I get very upset too, but the main thing is not to lose a bankroll.

 

[vov4ik]

If I lose in a cheap tournament or freeroll, I’m not very nervous in such situations, and if I lose in a good expensive tournament, I’m very nervous and angry at the poker room!

50 50

when i loose 50 50 its ok with me.....
what makes me fell sad is when i loose when i am 90 against 10 per cent

 

[Ovuvuevuevue]

Well, 50/50 is just that, a coin flip. It's frustrating when it happens in a very important moment of a tournament but the trick is to always look for situations where you are at more than 50%, which means positive EV. That way you are guaranteed to win in the long run and the short run doesn't matter. That's the definition of a great poker player: identifying and entering positive EV situations.

 

[ROman77]

Previously, when I lost part of the stack could freely fall into the tilt, usually to no good it did not lead ..I try to always keep my best game for the best result

 

[bidearm]

ya I know the feeling sucks the life right from ya

 

[akmost]

To be honest 35-40% is also good for me in those coinflips situations! Winnning / Losing is part of the game

 

[Max Grondman]

I can be very upset when I make stupid move and I am kicked out of the tournament beacuse of that. But when the other player has a better hand I coudn't play differently. I'm ok wit it.

 

[fadisn]

I dont know if you have tried that online, but rarely I almost always win 50/50 online Just the opposite of my usual all-ins which usually looses !!
So, I feel happy on 50/50 as I am almost the winner

 

[RaydonPoker]

I feel like when I played more reckless, a 50/50 was always a insta-call for me. But I pick my spots now and so the losses hurt more. Sometimes just gotta shrug it off and know I played correctly.

You are suppose to avoid extreme volatility minimal reward no edge gambles. Also known as "coin flips". Avoid all in pre flops unless you are a fish and that is the only way you can win. Go post flop always. Post flop you can get 14 to 1's, 7 to 1's, 49 to 1's...also known as great gambles especially with sets.

 

[Gyry]

in your question you wrote the answer, it is 50 to 50....I understand if it was 72 against AK, but it is 50 to 50...sorry but for me its stupid qwestion...just my opinion

The upset is to lose on the river to 5% more as poker it will happen sometimes good luck.
