Does it start to bother you guys when no matter how tight you play you continue to get beat by fish i know i know im in the right game...

I just called beat with trip jacks to 34suited who cold capped preflop
followed by 62 cold calls 2 preflop, 2 on a 3 suited flop he had no piece of and makes 2 pair on the turn...i need to find a release for this anger [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It did at first, until I realised that this is what you want to happen.

That's how you win, though. You eat the bad beats because they're calling you with crap that get saved with a miracle. What you don't pick up on is the nine times he calls with crap and gets peaced out, because a) you have to look in the hand history to see his hand, and b) that is what you expect, so it never sticks out in your head.

Yeah its true...ive been running really bad since yesterday can barely stay even...actually im down about 70BB in 2 and a half days [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I think i can blame 50% to fish induced tilt (hey im new i wasnt prepared for these suckouts only what ive read about)
and the other half just cause im new and i dont think i play that well yet...ive taken the pacific free 10 to about 40 dollars in a few weeks but this is my first true dry run since it started...i definetly dont have confidence in my game yet as i continue to doubt everything when i get runner runnered on constantly

oh well hopefully im learning...i want to move to a PT friendly site soon so i can actually monitor my play

I was in the same boat pimp. I had a 50$ initial deposit, which I gained 25$ from 125 raked hand bonus. I got up to about 160$ my second day! I was riding high, I was the best poker player known to man. Then I lost down to 30$. I was so depressed. I kept playing though, got back to 120$. Yeah, just a mild downswing, now I'm back to destroying people! I lost down to about 20$ after that, dipping as low as 2.80$ yesterday. Now, after a nice session today, I'm back at 76$. After I lost the 100$ mark the second time, I re-read SSH, and focused on playing every hand correctly rather than playing by impulse. I was calling things down that I had no business even being in. I suggest you re-read SSH and follow the advice closely.

If he cold called a cap preflop, you were likely beat already by another PP so don't worry. Other than that, praise their bad play and keep them close to you. They're your best friends.

Usually? no... But THIS one did yesterday (but mostly because I had been having a bad day in general, but also because I've been working so hard to get my Party stats back into the green (Villain was 100/60 over 15 hands)):
