Worst poker player in the world? I don't think so. Stupid? Don't think that is it either, first thing I thought was how/why did you lose a $10 all in with a ~40 bank roll. I think it was poor bankroll management and the variance of poker got you. Been guilty of that myself; time to take a break, clear your head, and focus on the positive.

I really agree here with you, the first thing that came to mind was, what about bankroll management? I like to play poker a lot, but I am definitely not a good poker player myself. Still I did not make any losses, but even a small profit playing poker over the last six months. Bankroll management is the key I would say, although it is really hard to resist playing poker with higher stakes.
Poker is no absolute.
Poker is not absolute. Anything can happen in a card game. In saying that, some players go nuts when they get an Ace in their hand;no matter the size of the kicker. Many times player will lose with high poker pairs after being called by some one with rags.
In saying that, this player may have won that pot. But, in the long run, playing like that will result in losses over the long run.
Good luck, don't get discouraged. It happens to all poker players.

In principle, you are right, it is very difficult to lose such cards. And the fact that people go to an all in with A 3, that is their business. There are many online poker) Maybe they were drunk, smoke-filled can, I have no idea)

I agree. Bank Roll Management is probably the most important as well as the biggest subject poker players face. We all get bad beats every once and awhile, and on a few of these sites, bad beats are 9x the normal live game ratio, but with the most solid bank Roll Management you will sustain an up trending bankroll with consistency. If you ever had a bad beat that was so sick (which most of them are) that you decide to risk more of a percentage of your bankroll in your next session? That's what bad beats do to most poker players. The human condition is always the dilemma when it comes to long-term survival in the poker world.
As good as you may or may not be, will never be better than math. If it was suited your opponent had 30% equity. Yeah you are a huge favorite; but you are still EXPECTED TO LOOSE A THIRD OF THE TIME.
You are printing money long run but that doesn't mean you can't loose, in fact your situation is kind of a bland everyday cooler its your own fault for not practicing BRM.

adigeamanu. I figured I would post this so you know you have company. This just happened. I had KK on the button. Utg raised to .30. I 3bet to .85. BB 4 bets to 1.45. Utg calls. I 5bet all in for 5.95. They both call. Utg has A6 and BB has AQoff. Ace on the flop and AQ scoops 17 dollar pot. Similar hands have happened way too often this week. sigh
I'm sorry to hear this, but my I'll awnser in 2 ways:
1) Having the best hands pre-flop (ore even just befor the river) doesn't mean you'll win if the opponent has any chance left (even a 1% or less) there "must" be times that they will win!! (Just rules of statistics (a bit of Murphy's law), and when you're the one that has go get the blow it sucks)
2) PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,,, learn to handle youre bankroll with "BANKROLLMANAGEMENT"; if you've got $20 in youre bankroll you should play $2 games!!!!!!!! (if you lose that $2 and therefore left with $18 you should play $1.5 games,...) This way you can play longer with youre monney and avoid the losses of some bad-playing-lucky-guys(/girls). And the only way to improve youre skills is to play (a lot).
To close this post, look on the other side, lets pretend you're on the downside (ex. you AK opponent AA) and still win, this gives you a rush. If you want to beleve in balance of the universe winning here and losing there is all part of life (sertenly in poker).

Hello, for me you're not the worst player, maybe it s me :sheep:
But the player who is all in with Ace-3 is even worse than us.
About bankroll, remember that the other players know that too, so boundaries and some use and abuse it against you.:hmmmm2:

You need to work on tilt control, first and foremost. This is Poker, and esssss happens. You got it in good, and he had just three outs and got there.
Happened last night: opened with pocket jacks (my fourth favorite hand, BTW) and Fish #1 calls behind. He has ~1/2 stack left. Fish #2 comes over the top for 4X. I'm pretty sure I'm good here, so I stuff it in to iso, and both call. Pocket jacks are good, and these fish have each other blocked. One has ( Ac,Tc ) (so his call wasn't as horrible as usual) and the other has ( A,8-o ) Two outs: that's pretty much all they had except for very rare flopped straights and flushes. That $#&@! ace rolls off on the flop. Nothing you can do about that other than hope these two yutzes never run out of money.
GII good, and you've done your job. They want to make -EV calls, well, bully for them when they hit their miracle card. They'll give everything they won off you back with interest. ESSSSSS like this is what keeps 'em coming back and back to lose a whole lot more over the next days and weeks. If the fish didn't win some, they wouldn't play.
well ill tell you that i would consider playing A3 if im the caller to the all in and only one opponent will challenge me and i can cover the all in and still have 20 big blinds left if i lose and after all that it still would depend on who was going all in. But u should consider going all in or not depending on your opponent. KK although being a very strong pre flop hand a pair of aces still beats you so. All in is really for the best hand and skillfully using to win hands you would lose if you didnt bet big. But any two hole cards can be beat after the cards are dealt. Maybe dont push all in on every monster. And to answer your question you are not stupid cause in poker you can do everything right and still lose. I tend to live by the motto play the competition not the cards
Bad play
I literally wish I could knock myself out after making a stupid play. I know that bad plays for me is all just a lack of concentration on my part. What's crazy is I can tell when I'm going to make a bad play cause it's usually when I can't seem to get decent hole cards for a while or I make a good play but get beat even though odds were in my favor. Even though I can feel a bad play coming I never can stop it LOL
