Default Re: players drawing out

Dynasty is probably right.

If you are losing 85% if your good flopped hands then you are getting VERY unlikely. But that figure is probably just how you feel about it.

What's more likely is that you don't yet have much of a feel for what the opponents have and you are investing extra raises in pots where you are clearly beat, and should be just calling or even folding.

And I'd like to point something out. This might not apply to the real low limit games, but in the mid-limits most everyone notices who the tight-passive folks are. When these folks get RAISED its almost always because they are beat real bad; but these tight-passive folks don't understand that and keep raising when they are clearly beat. Thus, these folks only play big pots when they make big flushes, top set, or their big pair is beat. Thus, even though they are playing tight they still lose most of the big pots.

That's the main problem with real tight play in No Limit; but I digress.
