When your a losing player
When yu have played cards for a long time, what are the tell-tale signs that yu are a losing player? I have been playing small-stakes holdem for the past three years. I have studied WLLH, SSHE, HFORAP, on this forum, an incredible amount of Cardplayer articles and my own thinking on the game and I have come to the conclusion that I am a losing player no only b/c of possibly none to limited success that I have had but because I havent booked a win at the casino or online over the past several months. When I have the best hand I lose and when I have teh worst hand I lose, I can get lucky and I cant play correctly and win. I have played against the biggest jerks who win my money every time and have no idea how they're doing it and I have played against players who actually know what they're doing and they still take my money but at least they have figured out why. Any semblance of a game I once had has been shattered to death with my impression of the game at the moment which is not very good. It now brings out the worst in me every time I sit down and I beleive now is a good time to quit b/c I cant take any more bad beats or good beats b/c that is all I do at the poker table is get beat.
And it really sucks b/c I do love the game but I am obviously missing something. After studying and reading as much as I have I have come to the conlcusion that all those books are total bullshit, they dont apply to anything. They dont help you be successful they just help you think that you can be successful so you can dump your cash to luckiest s.o.b at the table. Bad beats over the past two weeks - JJ's, raise, total station calls with a 76o and flops a straight, i pay him off. 1010, raise, total station calls w/ a 52o and flops inside strait draw, makes it on the turn after I went all in and he called without hesitation. AJo shorthanded, raise, opponent reraises w/ KJo and I call, he hits a running two-pair and screams "YES" as if he did the right thing KQo, same game, opponent calls w/ K9o and hits the 9 on the turn to knock me out. The game of poker is [censored] joke. If you think otherwise your just fooling yourself. |
