You will always have periods where the cards are not good or you have decent cards but no hits. Play with care and wait for the good cards - they will come eventuallyYou can play well with the cards you received, you just need to take into account the position, the number of players in the pot and the size of the bet.
go nuts, tilt and burn your bankroll....
That what usually happens, meantime, would be great to stand up after few hours of insanity, and close the day with small loss.
Sometimes, it works, but if I am in a series like nowadays, 1 day/week without the 50% beats on river by 1-10 cards, hard to stand up after 1-2, max 4 hours play, 6 times a week....
That is why I do not like online poker, it happens in live too, but not so insane way, series, does not repeat it sometimes for months, rarely for a week in live.
That is a very bad sign, when you are afraid to play with monsters, afraid to call an all in against one opponent with the nuts on the flop.... especially, that 50% or more, my 'afraid' get the proof... the best one from yesterday, JJ hand, J62 flop, allin and I am out against 57o cards..... I need to buy a box bag, hitting something else instead of the table and the couch....
That's okay, I keep folding, if I go under 10BB choose some suited connectors for steal or get a bit luck and double up.
Much more annoying, when the cards are coming - example yesterday, FT, 4 players left, everybody is between 15-20BB, I got AA vs AJo, preflop allin, and I am out - and I lose the 80-85% vs 15-20% preflop allins, don't talk about the river 1-3 outs fall in series... I started to play today 3-4 hours ago, and I had 3 river set against me, got beaten by smaller pairs in hands against my high pairs, lost A higher kickers against A smaller ones, also lost sets, 2 pairs on flop against backdoor flush, straights.... I see already, today is going to be a huge minus, lucky, if I can reach few ITM, do not mention FTs.... What then???
