Silly question I know... this is a really big bad beat :S. And the downswing hasn't stopped yet. And after a lot of bad beat... my bankroll is scary: $66,66... grr demonic. :S. What now??? I stop playing for a while?? Or read more book?? Because I can't win the 90% or better chance hands... Yesterday... First hand KK vs TK, flop TTJ. Bye full buy-in. After it AA vs 55 , 5 on the flop... Another full buy-in...

I agree with the bad beat part, for me a bad beat is when someone gets lucky to beat you, like this hand i played recently, i had pkt 9s, flop 9, K,5, i move all in after being raised, opponents cards A,5, turn 5 river 5, lovely

Posted by doomdy: This is not a badbeat, you lost KK versus AA lol. A badbeat is some1 hits his 1,2 or 3 outer, thats a badbeat.
If you loose KK versus AA thats just everyday poker and definitly not a badbeat...
Yeah, but 2 set on flop and 2 full after the river ... and If it happens with you in all +80% winning odds hands(like full on flop vs straight flush on the river, full vs poker 3 times in a row)... you will call it badbeat . I will read a lot about poker and one day I will have lucky hands .

Yes its bad luck dealt AA and KK in 1 hand but thats poker. Keep playin your abc poker and your downswing soon gonna be over.
I had downswings for 3 weeks, thats nothing, there are pro players with downswings for 4/5 months

Posted by T3ddyKGB: how you play KK medvedev - 3bet, all in? poor as in risky because trashcards might call and hit something on flop ?
I'm always happy to get all in PF with KK. - If someone has AA so be it, they can have my stack - if they have any other hand and I'm happy to gamble with them, with me as a big favorite.
If someone sucks out, then fair enough they get my stack, more often than not though I'll be doubling up
and definitly not a badbeat...
