Playing against recreational players

[nachopaulo19]

Any tips for playing against recreationals? Because only today were pair of aces broken all in preflop for marginal hands, trips broken when the opponent's card hits the river. There were so many bads that I don't even know if I'm the one with bad luck or the recreational players who are very lucky.

In these situations, if you just had bad beats and your call were good, just keep paying inside your bankroll, and you'll be fine understanding the swings of poker it is par of the game, you can check Cardschat Course if they don't make those calls against the odds it would be harder to win at poker table remember the odds in all hands, even if you go all in with 95% vs 5% that 5 percent will occur more times than we believe, because we tend to think that the small percentage of times we will lose will happen only one time in life, but actually it's going to happen more....

I was there once until I studied more about the odds, hope this info relief you

the tip is to accept these events or stop playing.
because they will always repeat themselves.

Just put up with it. I almost always fly out with my best hands

Recreational players make poker a game with less strategy and skill, since there is a hand that a professional player wouldn't even beat in the end, while recreational players go all-in even with bad cards, they try to win tournaments with a higher value but in the end it will compensate because the probability of winning is greater.

You made the right play, and as someone else said, you can lose even when the odds are heavily in your favor. "Recreational" doesn't mean that a player isn't knowledgeable about the game, if just means that they don't play it for a living.

Sooo. You're playing for a living? Because if this is not the case you're also a recreational player 😉

look in some software how many percent to win preflop with AA, and in general are you sure that you are a pro player? you need to understand that in poker in tournaments the game is quite dispersive

Long term you will be winning against recreational players as long as you let yourself tilt when variance go against you. Just keep the grind.

Most CC forum members are recreational players, which I include myself, but I have the same dilemma as you, because I lose with AA about 35-40% which is more than expectations. No matter how much I bet before the flop, some players just follow up on anything and beat me. I am trying to find the optimal solution to reduce the loss with the strongest cards before the flop, so when I find it, I will definitely share it with you.

we all lose with strong hands against weak hands because poker today lets you win tomorrow to someone else, and if you always win and others lose then you'll stop playing the same way poker gives everyone a little bit of a little bit today tomorrow and so everyone thinks he wins but everyone loses and there are more people this is the system:I CAN'T RYE:

Mostly dont overthink it. If you have it bet hard if you dont its not good idea to bluff them.

I think we should always play correctly, like going all-in with pocket aces. But that does not mean that we will always win, but we will always win more than we lose and that is to be profitable. For these recreational players in the long run they will be losing money.
