Online poker and Action Poker can suck my ****. As cracked by Js and a flopped straight beat by runner runner fullhouse. I am sick and tired of crooked online sites and set up hands once I lose the last of my 40 on action poker online can take a flying leap because I am done playing places where there is no possible way to win unless you are a complete moron.

No I bet enough because there were 4 other ppl in the pot so I think betting $5 out of second position is enough to get rid of a pair of 8s into a 2.50 pot. Plus the paired board he was looking at a $14 bet. And I don't come from behind because I don't catch a damn card when I need it. Hard to suck out when your money is in ahead about 90% of the time.
Did you ever hear about variance? Did you ever hear about possibilities in poker, that´s why there are pot odds. Unless your winchance is 100% you can be beaten in any situation.
Sometimes it happens in a row, sometimes not. If it happens in a row it´s called a bad run or downswing. Maybe you are in one. And maybe you gave the others the odds to call you, I don´t know.
BTW, mij Kings got cracked by T 8 , Villian raised 3.5x BB (UTG+2)and I reraised to 8x BB (SB). Villian calls. Flop Q T 3 . Hero bets pot, villian calls. Turn 8 , hero bets pot, villian raises to all-in, hero calls with K K . The River was a blank.
Who could put him on T-8 offsuit?! What a . But actually I´m glad they make that play pre-and post flop. Most of the times my hand will hold and this play gives me a positive Expected Value (EV). I could cry because it was a big piece of my $50 Full Tilt Bonus, but I still got some left to get back in the action, without crying.

I find it funny that people talk to me about giving people odds to call, pot odds and downswings. In order for me to be on a downswing I would have to see positive results at some point and this is not the case. I keep hearing the same thing 'You need to be aggressive','Bet to protect your hand from draws and possible outs', and ' Don't give them the right odds to call.' Doesn't work. I play aggressive and I bet to protect the hands I hit but the person chases anyways or they push allin, I make the correct call (or in certain situations the right lay downs) and I get punished for making the right decision. As far as pot odds go if the people I am playing have no real knowledge of pot odds or EV how am I supposed to put in bets that make sense to their meager understanding of math/poker?
I am also sick and tired of hearing the crying comment. Try having my luck in online poker when I am a for the most part sucessful live game player and be cheerful about losing all the time. When I play very similar styles in both online and live games.

Is no one listening to me at all there are no up times only down times and I don't understand how I can possibly do anything besides get my money in ahead. But no one reads anything I say so I must be just crying because I am a horrible player piss off everyone in that case.

There is a common proverb that says : Only bad players complaint about bad luck because the good ones know that everything is only about maths.

Posted by pokerpaul198: tell my bankroll about math because the last time i checked 4:1 preflop means I win 4 out of 5 mathematically not lose 4 out of 5
