Time for a break from it all.. Losing to luck to many times is getting to me

I know how you feel thats for sure. try playing something else for awhile like omaha or stud it will get you out of the groove for awhile and your feel better when you go back.

Taking a break is a good reason, done some more reading. Missed what I think is a few very important aspects. Also come across something valuable about the pocket 4's. I would still play them like I did cause I did read him perfectly as someone who plays anything. However I normally wouldn't do that. Yet now I probably wouldn't do it again after the few things I have read. Interesting what one can read and learn just from stepping back.

i know how everyone here feels ive had a weekend of REALLY bad beats, most of them on the river. i hit the nuts this one hand on the flop and someone called my all in and they caught something on the river to beat me and i lost that $50 pot.

I agree about pot limmit games just depends on your style of play . gump players do well with a limmit.

Twizzy I think posting that whole hand was one of the neatist things.
How in the hell did you do that?
On the other note: I am also sick of sitting at a tourny table and 2 to 4 people go all-in with crap. Get up or get out is not a true poker players motto.

Simply put pick your battles! No need to take an unnecessary risk when you know you will get more chances at him.

LOL I finally got back on track for a good while there. Took some recent hits today..

But that last hit I couldn't stop laughing at all. Been playing low no limit .05/.10 tables to get my good play back up to what I call par. Like I said doing very good there but switched once to a limit table. I am BB with King, Jack suited, 2 guys call. I don't go on those tables with much anyway. Down to .30 from the $1.00 I put in. The flop shows 6,K,10 off suit.. I say why not and go all-in trying to double the small amount.
Both call me of course. Turn hits a Jack, I am sitting pretty now one would say. Well I lost to one guy holding JJ's. Now what are the odds of hitting 1 out? I couldn't stop laughing cause I have never ever seen someone hit the NUTS based apon 1 out. No there was nothing for a straight or a flush. Yet I said you probably didn't know it at the time but you had one out LOL.. you got lucky. Told him NH non-the-less but he didn't say ty as usuall with some people.

But seriously that is I think less than 1% to get that. The other guy held nothing, just trying to take my little amount of $$$ I had. Still trying not to laugh.. Never never have I seen that before well until now.

the longshot

be thankful for the longshot cause if it didn't come in their would be a lot fewer players and they would probobly play better. Of course when it happens it can be frustrating but you just have to look at the long term. I finally got the cards running well again after about 3 months of just getting horrible beats but hey thats poker and the odds work given enough time and trials

I Know the fealing and sypothise with you,but just like the other guy said in the long run those type of players will pay you of. You also might want to try comeing to the the table with more it is alot harder to call two or three dollar bet at that level with a over pair showing than to call your all in .

 

[birdman2004]

played in tournament yesterday had pocket aces went all in for almost 10,000 . big stack called with 10-3 off suit and caught both on flop. oh, well thats poker.

Goldfinger your bad beat story happen to me as well. Exactly the same way, unbelieveable. On Ultimate Bet (or Ultimate Bad Beat). Mostly I get bad beats with flushes after being forced all in. I know the chance is there, but jeez!!! Whats wrose is having trips after actually getting to see the flop to lose to someone going with a K4 offsuited to hit a flush with the 4 to beat your trip Aces or having hit your trip Jacks to lose to someone going all in with 10 2 offsuit and hitting the flush I have also seen more than my share of pocket KK vs. pocket AA vs pocket AK all one hand every going all in preflop, so far I have been in the KK and the AK part of that debalce . but this story happen exactly the same way with me:

Now on to my bad beat of the day.I was playing tourny $5 rebuy.witch you all know how loose people play in those things anyway.the bet was 150 before flop I had A4 the flop came 2 3 5 all diferrent suits . giving me the nuts before the bet could get to me two people were already all inn.I call quickly and get to callers befind me . the hands r shown and there r poket pairs every where anyway the only caller who even paired the board has Ace 2 .the turn comes 2! and the river 5!Now thats a bad beat! can you feel my pain.

All of this in the past month and a half. hopefully I'm going to get some better luck when I have the strongest hand (at least to the river )
