Extremely bad cards
Hi,
can I have question? In last 4 months a playing mainly tournaments and now in last 2 months I have terrible luck. If I get AA, KK, AK, suited connectors, etc. flop for me is opposite flush, three to straight, low cards with huge turn betting.Simply...Flop,Turn, River....absolutely nothing for me! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I didnt saw good flop for a month and I don't know how change it! There is something, what can I try? I play at Eurobet poker (party skin) and Ladbrokes. |

Re: Extremely bad cards
you could try betting a lot with AA and KK so that you don't face heavy betting on the turn.
you could also try sacrificing a goat, but either playing good poker or just waiting out a downswing is usually more effective. how many games have you played during this string of "bad luck"? citanul |

Re: Extremely bad cards
The answer is, that if you dont have much invested, youre going to have to fold sometimes(and be wrong sometimes). If the blinds are high, there is often nothing you can do.

Re: Extremely bad cards
I always bet lot with good cards, but there is least one player who goes all-in with anything. And with my luck....I am OUT. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Today I played 5 tournaments (2 multitable) and in last I was eliminated by player with 95o.I had KK. Flop T,5,2, Turn 2, River 5. I bet lot preflop, he call, lot postflop, he goes all-in. This is standart. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Extremely bad cards
Sounds like a good time to start working on your Omaha and Stud games. Seriously. Less variance than NLHE.
You can also work on your stealing and marginal hand play so that you aren't sink or swim everytime you get AA. These runs eventually work themselves out, so drop limits and be patient (play for 2nd). Minimize the losses. |

As you can see by your example, it is totally dominated by 95o. Next time, fold KK and play 95o. Let us know if your results improve. |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know jack about stud (low card brings what?), but if you don't want variance, stay the [censored] outta Omaha. If you like capping every street with the nut flush with no low possible and then having to fold when the board pairs and 3 people raise, then play Omaha. Omaha has >>> variance than NLHE. |
