from HJ, BTN and BB both call. Flop comes . You bet, BTN call, BB fold. Turn is . You bet again, and now BTN raise. If you call here and then also call a river jam, more often than not you will get shown a hand like , , or and lose your entire stack.
100% agree with the above. @sundeck12 you really want to look at and share those bad beat hands to make sure you are not investing too many blinds or are not using proper bet sizing. All we can ever do is make sure we are not making pot control errors when we take bad beats.fundiver199 said:Thats probably not true, but bad beats can be more expensive in cash games, especially if you overplay your hand, because you play with a deeper stack on average. If I had to pick one typical mistake, beginners make in cash games, it would be to overvalue top pair in a single raised pot. If you have top pair and get raised on the turn or river, you should often strongly consider folding in a low stakes cash game. Example:
You raise

The advice provided is excellent, highlighting the biggest mistake beginners make: overvaluing a top pair despite clear danger signs.Facing a raise on the turn or river usually indicates that your opponent holds an incredibly strong hand.Making a disciplined fold in these specific situations protects your bankroll and prevents you from losing your entire stack to superior combinations.fundiver199 said:Thats probably not true, but bad beats can be more expensive in cash games, especially if you overplay your hand, because you play with a deeper stack on average.
