Default Re: Is poker just not for me?

low limit poker is tough because people stay in with hands that they wouldnt play in higher limit games. With 4 to 8 in on a flop it's tough. Streaks of bad beats do happen though. That's just a part of the game. Try playing a 10 dollar sit and go (single table tournament). The most you can lose is 11 bucks and you'll get a stronger sense of higher stakes poker. You usually see maybe 3 in preflop sometimes 4. After the flop there's usually only 2 in maybe 3. With as many as 8 in preflop you'll more than likely need a straight or flush to win the hand. That's been my experience anyhow.

Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
