If that’s the case then you need to take time and invest in improving your game, learning and analysis. You don’t wanna go out like Gus Hansen.

The great thing about this site is they love when you post and there are winning players who enjoy helping-
So if you are good preflop then all the issues happen post flop and the only way we can help is for you to post hands you played for comment
As I said above you can post dozens of hands so go for it--

So I’m going to ask this straight up, what is it you want to get out of playing poker, and what help are you looking for here. I ask as it seems you aren’t willing to accept or at least listen to what advice has been provided thus far.

Telling me in plain English how to post a hand would be a nice start. I read the instructions and have no clue. You all just assume people are experts at poker and computers before they come here. I won’t waste anymore of your precious time.

That’s pretty odd, people are trying to help you and instead of listening you argue. It’s seems like you are a spoiled millennial brat. Sadly I think you suck for a specific reason and unfortunately until you change your attitude “sucking” is the only way to go for you.
Maybe you just suck. That’s a possibility too. Maybe you are just bad at poker? Maybe it is not for you. Maybe all of your bad beats are telling you: “stop playing buddy you suck”.
You were done with the game couple of days ago if I’m correct. Maybe it was a right decision?
😁

Well, you can request the hand history from the site you’re playing on and just copy and paste the text here, most of us can read it and go from there. And further, if you don’t know how to request your hand history, tell us the site/App you play on and we can tell you how to do so.

The only help I’ve received or ever receive is, “post a hand,” and I’ve said repeatedly I don’t know how.

I will try to understand you friend
First of all, the issue of ranges can be seen in the 4th class of our Cardschat course, as Normino says, the course is excellent.
www.cardschat.com
Range is equal to knowing or trying to know and analyze what cards your opponent has in consequence of his bet and your cards and bet.
Example: you are in UTG with 1010 and you miniraise, UTG1, MP1, MP2 fold to the one in CO and raise 3bet, BN and SB fold and BB raise 4bet. It's your turn to call, fold or 5 bet, or go allin, the question is,,,, what Rank do CO and BB have with respect to me to act accordingly????
If you ask me, CO 3-bet can be in a range of JJ+ and BB seeing as you mini-raise and CO 3-bet, and at his range it would be QQ+. After that you make the decision to adopt.
This would be logical, now at the tables this depends on many things, see and analyze all possible information on which your opponents make the raises. There you can have a player like the one in the example that in BB he always makes 3 or 4 bets not necessarily with QQ +, maybe he does it with a 77 because his strategy is to steal blinds. It all depends on the table situation.
The issue that nobody folds when you bet can have several reasons. If you are convinced that you have top pair and it is raise and raise and raise until the opponent folds, I think that is a big mistake.
If the opponent does not withdraw it is because, either he has a specific game, for example a hidden set played that happens a lot in tournaments. Either he is hoping to hit a possible nut, flush or straight. Or he thinks he has top pair too with a higher kicker than you. Or he too has top pair and is expecting a double pair. There are many reasons why a player does not retire friend.
As for concentration, this is basic and fundamental in poker. If you lose concentration, discipline, patience and you don't know how to see the situations that the game demands of you, I would really tell you from the heart you can dedicate yourself another game.
Well I hope this can help you.
Try not to criticize your game, but try to improve your attitudes towards the game.
And don't want to win every hand, because this is impossible.
Greetings friend and forward

If you went through the CardsChat free course then you should get the badge or award added to your CC profile.
If you just looked at a few chapters but didn't actually go through the course then you should - that is if you really want to learn to play well.

You can even start your own thread covering your journey through the course.
Good luck !
So I’ve gone ahead and found all/most of the tips/advise that’s been provided that doesn’t ask for your hand history excluding what advice I’ve provided. There’s a lot of commonalities as we can see. Without even seeing the hand history I’d take a deeper look into what’s been provided.

you need to think more about your actions and read your opponents. But it also happens that you are too tired from poker, so you need peace and rest.

I have explained that to you in a previous thread but here we go again:
1) Buy the program PT4. It cost 100 dollars and change for a lifetime license.
2) Open an account on a site, which is not anonymous, and where PT4 work.
3) Play some tournaments there and let PT4 collect your hand histories.
4) Look at the hands, you like to review, in the replayer.
5) If you want advice about a hand, then copy-paste the hand history from PT4 into the hand history converter and share it.
Please note that having PT4 is not only for sharing hands to a forum. The far more important use of the program is, that it allow you to review your own hands away from the table, which is something, all winning players to do learn and improve. Below is an example of, what it looks like:
pokerstars, $4.55 + $0.45 - Hold'em No Limit - 800/1,600 (150 ante) - 2 players

But that's the point. Of course there will be "WTF??" moments - that's poker. Even the very best let it get to them in the heat of the moment. But you have to then let it go. He's not letting it go. That's a sign of tilt. That's a sign you need to take a break.
If you want to get better you have to at least try. I hope you take all the great advice that's been given to you in here, by people who have been through it, who worked through it. There's no magic pill, there's not easy "Do x, y, and z, and you will always win!" solution. You have to put in the work, you have to put in the study time, you have to get your mind right (and that may be the most important thing, honestly). If you're not willing to put in the work, then you will not progress from where you are.

It's contradiction. You can't let it go and make a break and practice at the same time. You either take a break or practice.

When you can't let it go, that's when you take a break. Read, study. Or just get away from the game completely to clear your mind. Go for a walk, go out with friends, spend time with your family - get out of the game for a little while. When your head is right, get back in.

When you take a break you don't practice, don't make profits, you are not getting results. It's better to take a break after making some results.
There are various ways depending on where you play and what tools do you have. Simplest is just describing with words, write here that you got this, the flop was that, the pot was like this. Who raised, who called, who bet.
Start like this, then learn how to use forms available in "Tournament hand analysis" and "Cash hand analysis".

I get what you're saying her but yes you can take a break from playing the game while studying. When my game is going badly, and I am starting to lose control I will take time away from the game. That does not mean totally. I will review my play and study the game. One of the thinks that has helped me the most was taking a week or more away from playing and working on the game. Yes take a few days off. Many time I find that I am making errors or changes into my game i did not realize I was making, and this was why it was going badly for me. Yes, there are times it's not you but then you will at least know then that variance is kicking you in the mouth.

I get what you are saying, for me, for example, it doesn't work like this. I only hope the question author will be able to chose advice suitable for himself.

Ultimately that's what it comes down to. But if someone is really struggling, and getting nothing but frustration out of what they're doing, my experience is that walking away for a bit, then taking it from a different angle can put things in better perspective.
