Obviously no one respects your raises, move up to higher limits where the players are better.

Hi egocide,

A few things are true.

-You know almost nothing about poker.

-You are acting like a wimp by complaining about your losses.

-Wimps are unsuccessful at poker.

-If .5/1 matters to you, then you need to get a job or stop playing poker or both.

However, a few other things are also true.

- Poker is a great game and can be a lot of fun.

- Eventually, you will not be as ignorant as you are, provided that you seek out information and keep an open mind.

- Eventually, you will not be as wimpy as you are, provided that you stop feeling sorry for yourself. Most people, over time, build up a tolerance level for risk that is greater than zero.

- Even if you remain a losing player at .5/1, it is still possible to enjoy poker, provided that you live a balanced life, maintain your mental health, and don't take poker too seriously.

Best wishes,
Snowball

it's my firm belief that you are playing the absolute hardest level to beat in ring games. Move up to 1/2.

It depends. If you care that you're a dollar poorer, that's pretty sad. If it's just because you're losing, nothing wrong with being concerned about your game no matter what level you play. I play $4-$8 live and I still treat online .5/1 like it's life or death.

About what you can do differently: Do you know how to protect your hand postflop? That is, do you undertstand why you should consider not leading a T95 rainbow flop from the BB in a 14-bet pot even if you were the aggressor preflop? Or why you should consider waiting until the turn to raise from late position if the pot is 25 BB on the same board? You may be allowing your opponents to draw out in spots.

When you see AA come up preflop don't let your mind shut down on the hand. I know many players who just think they should win and are going to push all the way to the end no matter what the board or action, then complain when they lose too much.

Sorry, I said, "Who cares about a friggin dollar?"
I was responding sarcastically, in the mind- set of the donk who calls you, that's why they play the way they do.
