this is poker and a pocket top pair in no limit hold'em is not a guarantee of victory. look at the poker calculator the probability of your victory with a top pair against different ranges - you may be surprised

For people feeling like this I will recommend to play on PokerStars and always use their all-in cash out option. You will be paying 1% more rake, but you will no longer have this excuse, that you only lose because you run bad in all-in situations. Your actual C will be exactly the same as the all-in adjusted one, less the 1% rake.


But that "feature" changes the whole game. And everyone is aware of that. If you move allin, no one will call most of the times.
 
Stop shoving unless maybe opening from late position even then why, 9 out of 10 their gonna fold and you win blinds only. Biggest improvement in my game in a while was to stop shoving make smaller bets and control losses. Once u shove its out of your hands and about luck. You want to read the player and the board before risking large amounts, yes with aa kk you want to scare away the low connectors and such but you dont have to bet your whole stack to do so, unless your short stack or something. i play tourneys and if it's low stakes reentry i'll shove early and take risks to build a stack and go nit once i have a decent stack. Gotta read the table some tables you might have to shove to get them to fold others will fold to min bets. Do the other players fear or respect your hands at the time or ever. So many variables to consider but shoving blindly ever time is just flipping a coin and takes no skill.

Personally, I play in a tight aggressive style, and this brings me a stable small profit at micro limits. I also often have bad beats, coolers and dominations, despite these failures, I still win stably. Of course there are days when I lose, but this is rare. It depends on which opponents I play with, if everyone at the table plays tight, then it’s much harder to win, I have to look for tables that have at least a few loose players.
 
to play at tables for money you have to set a game strategy studying dedicating yourself to change in game style is very different from playing tournaments and losing hands with peers like AA KK QQ are things that you have to adapt so is poker
 
Do heavy bets instead of all ins ..in this way you don't gamble and you also lower the number of potential players/flop

You first need to set game limits: the maximum session time, the maximum stack you can win from the table, and the number of consecutive all-lunns lost should also be taken into account when to leave the table and go to the stop loss.

QQ+ are not 100% winners - so - they are foldable. If they are played by one and same way every time they will loose a lot some times...

Couple of examples about it (from real money & play money);













 
Cash game poker is a popular area where real professionals make money. There are various betting strategies and features. Poker knows a lot of stories when even the most successful poker players lost at some point, this is due to tilt.
 
Play in position and choose weaker opponents.
Steal and defend the blinds wisely. 😊
 
Getting all in, because you are holding a strong pair, it is not the right choice. Why to risk all of your stack on a pair? Make a good rise, 3bb it is very good or rerise when there is already a rise. Generally you must protect more your stack and play wiser!

Might sound like a daft question but ive been playing for over a year now and cant seem to get consistent wins. Now the main thing that is killing my winnings is when i get dealt AA KK or QQ, i get all the money in pre flop like youre supposed to do and get outdrawn almost every single time. Its bad beat after bad beat and its the only thing kiling my results! So how am i supposed to win when i keep getting bs?!
Please dont say in the long run you will win because after a year im still getting outdrawn even when im a massive favorite!! 😡
Almost all novice players think that only bad beats are to blame for their losses. Just start learning dude and that illusion will go away!
 
It's normal to suffer bad beats, even with strong hands like AA, KK or QQ. What counts is your mental resilience and emotional management in the face of these situations. In the long term, if you continue to make sound strategic decisions and avoid getting carried away by bad beats, your results will eventually improve. The key is to stay disciplined and always come back to your strategy, no matter what the ups and downs.

If you continue to focus on the right choices, control your bankroll and adjust your game, you'll eventually see positive results.
 
A dynamic game where you can choose a table))) I either get up well or I only spend money)))
 
Certainly any poker game, whether tournament or cash, requires significant concentration if you want to win something. So concentration coupled with knowledge of the basic rules of poker will certainly bring performance.
 
I feel like cash games require a different type of aggression than tournaments, it's kind of like finding the biting point of a manual car vs automatic
 
Understand hand rankings, betting rounds, and odds of drawing certain hands
Bet when you have a strong hand and can extract value from weaker hands.
bluff only when the situation is right
