Spin on Bad Beats

**aidanmyson** · 09-10-2009 08:53 PM

I dont think i have bad beats just REALLY BAD luck...im coming to terms with my condition so now I just teach people how to play poker. And to others, except the fact that people are luckier then others no matter how well you play. I have been out flopped so many times I kept keeping track of my "suck outs' vs others "suck outs". It got to about 33 to 1!! And not just talking AA vs 72 Its KK vs AA ALL the time AK vs QQ and cant hit A Ace or King or be on a 15 outer and dont hit. BUt yea plenty of AA vs "72" hands. Cant hit the coin flips! NOt winning the 56%ers not hitting the 47%ers. Or Flopping the nuts and cant have any one else hit a single pair to call my bet. All sorts of ways to have bad luck. So now I dont throw my money away I give it to others to play for me IT WORKS LOL. I Love the game but I became so timid to make bets that I got butterflies when people called even my ACES. I took a 3 month break, took 2 day breaks, changed my style of play several times. Broke a few key boards(hehe). Played DRUNK!! That helped me relax but none of those helped my luck with the cards I was dealt! SO if your a competitive person ,wich you must be other wise you wouldnt care how the cards were played, find a new game cause you have bad luck or you suck at poker either way try finding a new way to win money! AND GOOD LUCK DOING IT haha But most importantly have fun if you cant have fun you too will be loosing alot of keyboards.

The thing I love most about bad beat/luck posts is it reminds me of how pathetic I used to sound. I used to think I was the unluckiest SOB on the planet but with PT3 I could see through 100k hands my hands were all running true to the math.

The problem was I was terrible, trying to trap, giving free cards, playing hands beyond bad, tilting, you name I did it. We lose more often than not due to some error we made not the cards screwing us.

Once you realize you play like shit and give 100% to improve your play, you will wallow in self pity for the rest of your poker career. Bad play = Bad luck imo.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you use it for it's intended purpose, to help people improve. GL

You did nothing wrong, it does not matter what you do, he is not folding. This is not a bad beat IMO, this happened to me at least 5 times today, all I can do is win one of my other games.

**aidanmyson** · 09-11-2009 07:56 PM

I am confused "IMO"? THE I? "M"otis "o"perandi IM probally way off. Any way this is tourney play MY BIG ISSUE! I have a huge hump to get over...I play cautious..And dont want to get "nuts" to early.. its a marathon...BUT hands like that kill me all the time(one above)THE ADVICE if any wouuld be awsome to help me get over that "hump". Hve placed third one time out of 7700!! BUT AK was hitting all day and night till last hand AK DIDNT SAVE ME lmao..

**occams raisor** · 09-11-2009 08:17 PM

AK hit all day and night and yet you are surprised that it eventually lost? Poker is not for everyone and I thought it wasn't for me at one time....Back when I thought losing set of 8's to a flushdraw was a bad beat. The only person that can help you is yourself.

Cheers!
