But i became very aggresive when i have a good hand. Is this the problem??
when ever i play in sng and mtt i want to doubble ip if i have a very sttong hand like set or flush ..full house.. but all these are beaten by worse player with worse cards..

Stick to just the one game type to maximise your learning and development, and then just keep making the best possible decisions. Post hands for analysis and comment. As questions about spots you weren't sure about.

I think that is the matter of time and in future(if your poker skills are really good) good results will come.

its quite hard to let go a good hand.. you think that you got the best hand and then someone else got the better.. emotional calls can cost you the game.. I would keep trying and remember there are ALOT of online players and so many hands are played also.. it can happen that someone else has the better cards! so try to fold good hands also

Those hands you talk about, are rare. You shouldn't lose hands like that very often, depends on how much you play, but I wouldn't say more than twice a month... You could try analyzing your hands starting preflop, how did the hand start there, and how did it go from there on, could you foreseen a hand from your opponent or could you just fold before, amongst other things.

Hey man i feel you, i have the same problems. I get the best hand on the turn, than someone with shit cards end up winning on the river... I dont understand why they keep putting their chips in when they have garbage but somehow they get exactly what they need on the river.

In this situation we need to tolerate, I better take time out for a couple of days.

Best approach is generally to have faith in, and play, the odds in these circumstances. I know it can be VERY frustrating - I've lost plenty of hands where I was the 95% favorite to win. But over the long term, you will win more than you lose if your hand has better odds of winning than the pot odds it's costing you to play it.

Also, I see that you've thrown Zoom games in to the mix as well. Be aware that there are players who will only enter a Zoom/Rush hand with pocket Aces or pocket Kings. Actually some will only place Aces. If they don't get those staring hands, they just 'Zoom" off to the next hand.

everyone can have such phases ... just ask yourself after every single situation if you played correctly ... if so, all is good
if not - learn for the future.

I hear you. Today i have been rivered galore and im getting really sick of it, its been all day, Aces and Kings are no good for me today im winning more with suited trash on the button then with anything else. That and black jack. Poker can suck sometimes but after years of playing ive learned this its a game and it involves luck, luck is a factor and its the reason why even the best lose sometimes. your going to have a bad day, weeks, even months, it happens so when your up make the best of it!!!

Remember you are playing a game in which any two cards can win. You are also playing some trained monkeys that will chase their tails to the end. If you can see any possible chance you can be beat most likely you are. Remember the hand isn't over til the river.

But, if you're still at a loss, so that your game is probably not as good. This is also my case, I also think that I play well, but my bakroll is getting smaller and smaller. Let's take a break and then from the beginning.

A good hand is in the end not always the best hand. I know it is hard to fold a good hand but if you watch WSOP or any else tournament straights flushes sets have all been folded by players like Negreanu, Ivey, Chan, ... And often they were right with that decision because they are capable of reading the opponents. My hint for you is, perhaps you should fold rather some "good hands" than making pressure and running into a bad beat on the river...

Patience. If you keep getting your money in good it will start braking your way eventually. Be aware that just because you have a great hand don't become blind by its strength and spew chips into and stronger holding. I have checked AA down because in the end it is only a pair. Just laugh when they turn up 75o and managed to pair both their cards even when you remember that they called your 4.5BB bet pre. Jcarver "76% is not 100%". Just because the numbers say you are supposed to win does not mean you are going too.

just be patient and have good bankroll management

Try to play some freerolls to rebuild your bankroll. Don't get too concerned that your strong hands are getting beat by miracles on the river. It happens. Many players get their money in bad and suckout. Welcome to the world of online poker. Just try to keep getting your money in good. The fish will eventually find themselves hooked, skinned and fried. I was once told if you can't handle the bad beats, you shouldn't be playing poker. Try tiddlywinks or bingo.

Runner, runner suck-outs happen. There's nothing you can do about that, other than satisfy yourself that the money went in good. It's one thing you'll just have to get used to: if you're playing a good game, you will lose to suck-outs a lot simply because you're not putting the money at risk with questionable cards.

Got full house on turn and beaten by full house on river.

What full houses? You are aware that not all Fulls are created equal, and underfulls can be dangerous. It's a hand that the average rec-fish just can not bring himself to fold, like ever. There's even a name for that: "Zeebow Theory". You have to recognize when a dangerous Full is likely beat, and fold it.

Nothing you can do other than play through the runbad, and stay off tilt. Maybe take a break for awhile, and that goes to two things: tilt control, and getting out of that psychological funk of thinking you're running especially bad so's that doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But i became very aggresive when i have a good hand. Is this the problem??

It could very well be a big part of the problem. You don't say what you think is a "good hand", but it is deadly in NLHE to overplay TPTK in high SPR pots. That hand plays better in fixed limit and in low SPR pots. Otherwise, it's a hand that'll win you small pots, but lose you big ones, and most -- if not all -- your stack. In a high SPR pot, you want to take TPTK to showdown for as little as possible. You also have to be able to let this "good hand" go in situations where it could cost you most of your stack.

JEROHIT. Great post, one which displays a situation which many will at times will find themselves in.

There are loads of different pieces of advise.... Taking a break being a really good idea and giving yourself time to re-evaluate, forget about losing and start focusing on playing good poker again.

Of all the advice given, I really like the advice given by B1BOMBER and DORUGREMON. Take time to read through these two players' advice and re-evaluate your approach.

Good luck.

BB

Just keep going, dont give up, if you do, you might miss the good beat that's a-coming.
Also, switch poker programs. I'd be surprised if 100% of them are 100% legit.

I agree with those who say stick to one game. Also post hands in the hand history section of the forums because there is no way to know if its really bad luck or if you are playing wrong unless you get extra opinions. You will learn a lot that way!

^^^^^ thats what Id say^^^^^^

Thanks lots of great advice I feel like I've played a lot on tilt lately but I will try to keep my head.....

One important thing - keep your mind in control, dont follow along the tilt, be higher than that

All the time to worry because of last mistakes — the most gross blunder.
* quote Muhammad Ali

I have been there as I imagine so have many other players I tried changing poker sites did not help much but a break from my usual game helped if you need to play try freerolls at least you can play without hurting the bakroll

Try not to think much about this.. this happen in the game, you can't tilt because this will cause some damage in your game. If you are tilt, try to play less, get some rest

There is no good hand in poker. It always depend on the situation and how you handle it. I always see AAs and AKs got beat by extremely bad cards. And you can even win a pot even if you dont have a completed hand, dependind on how you handled the given situation.
For me i always try to keep in mind one thing... lose small, win big. cheers!!

you shouldn´t get glued to the bad beats, we always remember the badbeats we take, but how many of those bad beats you gave are on your memory?

to loose with AA or AK is even wors than lose with poor hand

I take bad beats all day long. Never bothers me. What a bad beat tells you is that you are getting your money in with the best hand. While you will lose some, if you can constantly get your money in with the best hand you will be a profitable player.

I limp in from big blind wi th king 8 off flop king 883 handed i check villain raises 25 other guy folds i shove he calls hes got jacks all set for the double up i think he hits a jack on the river. I have 3 4 off i raise 12 pre flop utg not in my range a trap hand flop comes 2 5 6 with two hearts get raised and re raised i shove for 300 over the top to try and buy it rite there get called and ge hit his flush draw he called with a q high flush draw for 300 dollars now h is he s physcic or just sick he was crushed should we welcome this type of play its getting more common for people just to gamble on anything its taking alot of skill out the game a more skilled opponent would have folded to this bet i would think or was it a great.play he didnt have the nut flush draw

Immediately: drop down the stakes
Long term: it is not uncommon to have bad beat downswing. Such periods can last even 2 weeks in a row, perhaps even longer and that does not mean the pokersite is necessarily cheating. So be prepared for such downswings. THe best approach in such case is not to play at all for a period.

Sometimes I get forty or fifty bad beats in a row when I am all in and way ahead(AA v. AK for instance). This is just part of the illusion of card odds. It doesn’t matter how far ahead you are, you can still easily get sucked out for days, months and even years (in some extreme cases) in a row.

It's best to take a break for a few days to clear the mind of negative emotions. If it's just bad beats, it's just downswing and it's experienced by all poker grinders. If the bankroll mnagment allows after the break play on these stakes, if not go down below. Good luck

Bad beats in tournaments in still better than in cash game. Today is the most horrible day in my poker game. I have never experienced anything quite like this before.

I played the game well with discipline, patient and fearless. The whole night, I was all in 4 times. 3 out of 4 was a bad beat. After the first one, I told myself you can do it, you can come back. Re-buy and build my stack again, and then a second bad beat come. Trying to control my emotional well because I truly understand the law of poker. Re-buy one more time and build up the stack again, and then the third bad beat in 6 hours session. It almost looked like there was an invincible hands that do not want me to win and punished me. How can you get bad beat 3 times in 6 hours session after trying to come back and come back. I was so tired and ask what did you do to me lady luck? Why am i deserved this? Played at empire in London.

Take a break and come back later.

Keep your head up, we have all been there. Take a break and replay the situations and your hands. Did you push your big hands to early or not early enough and some one called and got lucky when they had lots of outs. Think through everything and try to find your leaks and then go back to the tables.

You need to choose maximum 2 disciplines to play (for example i play MTT and cash) and make the stop-loss limit. Bad beats is one of the game rule that you cant change. If you feel that you are very unlucky today, just stop playing today and take a break from poker.

Try to bring your bankroll up with freerolls

Mrx376

If you're continuing to get your chips in good your bad beats will even out eventually. It may be over the course of many hands but the math shows that you have the higher winning percentage in the long run so just stick to it!

Well, maybe your playing the wrong cards, putting yourself at high risk situations, etc. But, for me, I had to stop playing and find something to entertain myself for a few days... Usually, time will be a factor to change the cards... Maybe...
Good luck...

What I can't understand is why when I dominate the other hand all-in I lose at least 80% of the time at Pokerstars. Am I just THAT unlucky?

This is typical. I just got bumped out of the CC daily with A J of hearts against A 3 of clubs. The REALLY obvious pattern is that the other player has the bigger stack, and that loosing with good cards to the big stack's crap cards happens A LOT!!!

I have no trust in the integrity of Pokerstars after experiencing this crap SOOOO often. But that's okay, I just suck it up and only play freerolls and micros, have NEVER deposited and NEVER will, but I'm up $300 on them, anyway.

I would look at your betting when you think you are ahead. Are you betting the proper amount to get people to fold, or are you playing in a way that encourages your opponents to draw to their hands.

Next I would also run some calculators to see how much of a bad beat it really was. I used to think people were dumb when I first started playing until I started running the odds. I was surprised how little of a favorite I really was in those spots.

Playing poker is normal to take Bad Beat need to know in fact if your way is correct in playing not to lose confidence in playing.

The game to calibrate have to practice and changing the team and reviewing the format to play again.

You must have a very good mind set and a lot of patience to withstand the most difficult phases.

I’m joining this thread as I just got the worst bad beat ever
online poker Playing Omaha and I had a straight flush and gotten beat by another player with higher straight flush. The the worst bad beat I gotten.
The previous bad beat I remember was live poker when I got beaten by a straight flush against my full house That one hurt more cause I was all in before at the turn with me made flush and I was ahead. The dealer gave her the straight flush card at the river
This time we went raise reraise reraise all in at the river And I was hoping he was playing A high flush.

Bad beats are a big part of poker,,,,you have to factor them in,,,and play on. (we all get them)

Weather the storm or take a nap.
