Mickael maybe correct, in that going up to medium/higher stakes on the whole is much better has no one calls down big raises looking for their 2 outers.
The bloke who mugged me off with thos 9s to hit his straight, had playing a week ffs, "I've only played a week and I'm doing pretty good".... he also mugged some other poor player on the river a few hands earlier as well, he went chasing both times and hit the fu cking motherload both times, I told him not to get his hopes up as he wont get the cards on call for much longer, he didn't know he'd his straight ffs, that's how bad some players are, and his reason for chasing it was this ... "I felt it was going to give it me".................... .. .. fu cking hilarious |

KOD - Not saying its not possible to make profit, you keep your head down and grind it then yes maybe its possible to make profit, my dad says "you have to know if its an action flop and whether its trying to cause action for rake", maybe my dad understands the whole software better than I do, I don't know how anyone can throw sets online, some say if someone starts raising over then throw them, we're throwing sets now are we, that's ridiculous it sounds, a set should be gold mine, not just another standard hand.
possible but maybe you do have to understand the software, and know when its causing action etc. But even you cant deny I've been su cked out on with those hands KOD |

I once played Q4 suited in limit, no queen or nice board of 8 9 10 landed for me, I play pretty strong hands and they never hold up in big pots, so 9s and dropping a 9 for a set isn't strong now then ??
Q4 pre flop is stronger then? Ok KoD but your fishing for a rise out of me on this one , how anyone can say those bad beats are "standard" just leaves me with my gob wide open. fine bad beats happen, but the amount of them in "big pots" against me is just too far fetched, I've been bad beated live on the river with a set and he chased and got his flush, fine it happens but my previous 4 sets held up live, my last 3 sets haven't held up in big pots online, my last 2 flushes haven't held up in big pots, christ even my last full house didn't held up in a big pot. |

Its the amount of "big pot" bad beats that leves a sour taste, every time it becomes a pretty big pot I fear the worse tbh. Would you see a professional throw a set live KOD?

I'm a big boy I can take losing money, I have no responsibilities and are never likely too either, so can freely lose money and not give a rats ar se about it. but those beats are eating away, I had them beat and they still chased and hit it, money not bothered, I would just like to win one tbh, it winds me up.

Not at this moment no KOD, the game has me pis sed me off something chronic, maybe when I've cooled off in a couple of weeks.

Due some luck, it don't work like that KOD
. only hope I have at the moment with regards to poker is no hope, and being done in by you (add in bad beats) would kill me ![]() |

burger , poker is a great game to play and there are a few levels of ability as to how good you are .
you can't be great at it after a few months , maybe 2-3 years after a few million hands . KOD is showing he has great knowledge of the game , you would do well to listen to his advice . also , watch tournaments on the tv , sky poker 861 ( also free to watch online ) , channel 4 show a few . read books , etc . i am about level 3 out of 10 on a good day , but some people can't achieve level 10 no matter how long they play .good luck |

Play on high stakes, KOD I'm being mullered on medium lower stakes, no chance of me beating the better players on the higher stakes ffs
![]() And Pablo totally agree, I don't consider myself level 5 even maybe level 4 out of 10 at a push. But the bad beats do only seem to be happening to me, watching me dad last night brought it home how far behind I am, he knows all the permutations etc, I have a lot to learn, and will probably sit on low stakes for laughs at the moment. |
