What is the secret?
Someone please tell me what the secret is to win a lot on party poker.
This is not a troll or flame post, I sincerely want to know. How to you guys endure the constant suckouts? I mean say you have AK or AQ you know something decent. A guy with j10 catches two pair to win. From the posts I assume a lot of you do rather well on party poker. So how do you do it? How do you overcome the bad beats, and other frustrating $hit that is part of poker? Thank you. |

Well I play no limit so two hands could crush me.
Only so much variance one can take when playing no limit. |

Re: What is the secret?
try, this is why i am not a no limit player. i can easily handle playing 4000 hands in a day and losing all my aces, because i have a bankroll, and am losing only a very small percentage of my roll with each hand. After my first several-hundred dollar all-in loss in no limit with aces, i decided it wasnt the game for me, because i just sat there, stunned, like a fish out of water.
Its part of the game youve chosen to play. If you let it get to you, you will not be a successful player. I assume you are a successfull player, so i know you have taken these beats before. You have handled them then, and you can handle them now. Ive always wanted to invest in a "beat the [censored] out of it" wooden post, that i could just literally beat the [censored] out of when i feel frustrated, but, instead, im just trying to master those emotions. Which is probably the better way to go... peace john nickle |

Re: What is the secret?
There is less variance over time in NL than limit because the edge you have over the players is usually greater at low limits. I don't see how you can lose money at party $25 unless something is severely wrong with your game.
That's where I would look -- at your game and whats wrong with it. It's hard not to find consistent 65/35 or better edges at PP low stakes NL. EDIT: I like reading old posts by people like this, and gabyyys' posts and ones like it generally lead me to two conclusions: 1: If we cared about their welfare, Gabyyy and players like him should not be let near gambling games for their own good. I sort of feel bad for people who are mentally incapable to accomplish simple things. If he didn't put effort into it that would be one thing, but he actually tries and still doesn't understand how his results come out bad -- instead defense mechanisms kick in such as "Pokerstars is rigged." But see #2 below: 2: Players like gabyyy give most of the other players on 2+2 thousands of dollars a year, so following (1 would be a very bad financial decision for us. |

Re: What is the secret?
variance is your friend that will come over and sleep with your wife but take you out for free drinks afterwards. It sucks, but when you think about it, what did you really lose that you didnt get back through free drinks?
Its easy to see why i am single... peace john nickle |
