Bad run, tilt. How you avoid these things?

[kristersb123]

I think that was my biggest bad run yesterday, super duper unlucky. How you avoid these things and what's your biggest bad run? Yesterday I played some turbo sit go's.. It doesn't even matter how good hand I had preflop, still lost on a suckout, even with AA. I stopped to play for that evening and next day the same things are happening. I make a lot of mistakes while playing too but losing on a suckout with hands like AA , AK or any other premium hands is not cool and it happened too many times, I have not ran that bad ever in my life. So that's why I have a question how you avoid these things?

Thanks for sharing.

How many buy ins? Losing 60 in a row is rough, how close to that were you? Have you ever had -lose 4 days out of five for 6 months? Run bad can be severe I am just trying to give you some perspective of how bad it could get vs what you are experiencing.

Two points:

1 How did you lose with AA AK KK preflop or post flop? If post flop was it your play that made you lose your stack? Review those hands make sure you made no mistakes then move on.

2 You mentioned you made a lot of mistakes but you focused the post on the suck outs. No one can help you here with not getting sucked out on. We can however help you to not make a lot of mistakes. Focus on what you can do, be a better player, not what you cannot do, find a magic formula for avoiding suck outs.

This may sting your ego a little. It was intended only to push you in the right direction.

coffee and cigs, but I would recommend a healthier alternative lol. I still like to lift weights (no-go on cardio obviously). Just other activities to take my mind off the game long enough to forget about the tilt.

 

[kraemer]

I'm afraid you cant avoid that stuff. That's poker!

You will find yourself in a downswing from time to time. And hey, yours only lasted 2 days so far
The only good thing you can do is to keep trying to play your best game and not tilt. You will lose your stack with aces in some hands... All you can do is to not lose even more by tilt-calling with 3 7 off thereafter....

 

[rafa77777]

the biggest mistake of the players, to think that AA, KK, invincible cards, these are the same cards as the rest, is just a chance to break with such cards, much higher .. and how to play them, so there are a lot of questions ..

 

[Barbarrossa]

I make a lot of mistakes while playing too

After reading your entire post I can sympathize with you on a lot of it. Where you lose the sympathy is the part of the quote I highlighted. If you are running bad this portion of your game can turn a crappy session into a train wreck.


Step back... deep breaths.. When you go back to playing remember... Discipline discipline and.. yes even more discipline. You have to eliminate what you KNOW are mistakes..

Good luck to you!

preflop shove, 100% call there... I played those premium hands as they should be played preflop... 4bet - shove and I called... suckouts happen and you can't do anything there I guess so. I am a little bit confused because that happens less with regs, pro. The thing is not about suckouts. I just want to hear your recommendations to avoiding tilt, rage, because I sometimes can't stand a lot suckouts and do more mistakes in next games.

Why are you tilting?

Thank you for responding.


If you have 60% of the players in your player pool, never folding anything pre ALL-IN, you will get sucked out on, way more often than a pro playing in a game with 10% or less
NO FOLDEM HEROS.

Generalization will kill you in poker. Do not play low stakes- like mid stakes -like high stakes. Being good at poker is adapting to your opponents, They are a factor in your results.

If you are tilting learn tilt management skills.

It is part of poker you can not avoid bad runs you just can minimaize it

 

[ndarragh91]

It just happens, part of the game but won't last forever. Best thing to do is just take some time away and come back again refreshed.

You cannot avoid such a bad run) You can make a list of all bad things you did to improve your Karma by fixing them)) Or just relax room's soft for some reason want you to lose, so take a break for a week, otherwise programme will eat your bankroll no matter how good your hands are

 

[gichka97]

The best advice and suggestion I can give you is to stop playing for some days and come back and play on fresh mind. Try to play poker, when you feel pleasure and you are enjoying the game.

The biggest bad bead I have ever faced, which I will remember forever, was in a crucial part of one tournament when on the flop I had top pair with A5 and my stack was not so big and had to go all in and everybody folds until the last player who called me with 43 and he did not have any flush or straight draws and have 0,2% chance to win the hand and on the turn and river he hit 3 and then 4. I did not play for weeks after that hand. Felt so sad, that could not believe how this guy can call me with that and to win it. But this is the game. After that I started to do different things and did not think about poker for weeks.

Hope, it will help

maintaining bankroll

Hi Kristersb123. Bad beats and losing streaks are going to happen. That's just poker. If you buy-in at 25X your current stake then drop down to smaller games where you have a 50X, or even a 100X buy-in to stake ratio. It might take longer to regain your losses once everything gets back to normal, but it'll leave you a better cushion for continued losses and decrease your stress.

They say poker is the closest thing to life. No matter what you do, nor how well you do them,
things often go wrong. You cant avoid suckouts in poker or in life. Bad runs will happen no matter what you do, or how good you are. You just have to avoid playing bad cards and push
forward.

 

[ToNy70929]

You are not the only one who has had such cases. It was that I lost 13 times in a row with premium AAs for several days. Subsequently, I began to just leave the game and take breaks, restore my psychological balance from failures:five:

 

[Chicungulla]

It is avoided only with study and practice a lot but a lot of practice and without leaving aside the rules that you put on if you will not finish before starting

Bad runs are part of poker; it is the luck element of the game. Understanding this and embracing it will help you to control your tilt.
You need to evaluate your play objectively, both when you won and when you lost hands. Are you playing too loosely, or perhaps your playing too passively? You could be playing perfectly and just getting unlucky, in which case you should be delighted and carry on playing exactly the same way, knowing that you will win lots of money in the long run.
Remember the way you played the hand is much more important than whether you won or lost the hand.

when you play 1 or 2 tournaments and lose premium hands, it’s noticeable, my advice is to play more tournaments then this does not affect the loss of premium hands so much.
