I almost want to quit, it's been happening for a while, I am getting junk, and my good hands just aren't holding. I just can't be arsed to carry on when I keep getting this, on poker tracker. I have had K-K 8 times, winning half, mostly no shows, because everyone suddenly folds when I have the hands, and then I have lost major pots against A-K, J-J, A-J and the unstoppable A-2, when I bet the flop, I don't think he has any odds to call that, what was he looking for, I perhaps shouldn't have checked the turn, but after two bets and getting called both times, I wasn't expecting a crap hand.

So I don't know, if you guys can suggest to me something that stops me from getting run over every single time, I really would love to hear it, because at this time I am really getting sick at poker, I know poker is a long run game, but I have made good decisions numerous times and I never seem to get that break like most people, I never get that rush of cards or hit every flop.

Dont be results oriented and 8 hands of KK is not a big sample. Your luck will catch up. Have patience.

on the first hand you should be raising liberally there since opponents will think you are more likely stealing when its folded to you, especially with a big hand - then you just lightly bet the whole way and push the river when you can only beat a bluff - raise 5x BB with KK in LP there and bet the flop....don't just bet like your scared or your trying to slow play...

the other ones just suck, but in a tourney you gotta play your big hands big - tons of players are taking K10s to the bank there - just get it in with the best of things - thats all you can do....

There's a another forum for these hands. What do you want us to say? It's never happened to us? It's rigged? If you can't handle it then just quit. Otherwise, suck it up and deal with the variance. Play your hands stronger as Limpin says and you will be fine.

if i had a dollar for everytime my aces or kings didnt hold up i would have money left on my pokeraccounts =)

[Perrygarl]

Yeah sorry completely understand wrong forum, just wanted to ask if I was playing too aggressively, these were all beginning limits/levels, so would it be best to try and play small pot poker, or to blast all the chips in?
