Since I started playing poker, I have not lost successively like what happened to me this week. I suffered a loss, and with very good hands, whether pretflop or before river, it made me think again and take poker lessons as a beginner .

:deal:It has been a year since I have been Cardschat members, so you must have an idea about how I play poker, so what is your advice to me?

if you played poker, you should know that even strong cards do not guarantee you victory and everyone has ups and downs, just survive your failure and it will return to you

the longest "bad beat", prefer to call it insane runs against me last for 320-350K hands, that was from last end of october till end of march.... still dont want to believe it, with monsters i was underdealt by 10-15% even those burnt more than it should. days, weeks long crazy river 1-5 falls, backdoor straights, flushes. nowadays, it is over in holdem, i see some similarity in omaha, so i stopped playing omaha. anyway, if you see something like this, recommend you to stop playing in that room for a while, and play in others, go back and check that one few weeks later.

Anyway, never thought to stop, not even temporarily, sometimes, i took few days off, or play just freerolls, very micros, but rarely happens.

for you, you should know, what to do, as you know the reasons, why you think about it. is it mostly out of your control reasons or not?

yes i know the feeling very well when you can't win a hand over a longer period of time. I also had a very long phase where no matter how good my hand was, there was always better. I had four of a kind and the opponent got a higher four of a kind, I flopped straight, the one gets fl on river and so on, and that wasn't just in a tournament this horror lasted for several months. The first thing I thought was what I'm doing wrong. I'm sure I'm doing a few things wrong because I'm not a pro, but I realized that on the one hand I had to change my game style and that no matter what cards you get, you can always win or lose. And maybe an important point, not everyone who plays poker online also knows how to play poker. there are a lot of people who just want to try it out and because they really have no idea they just start playing with some cards and sometimes even win with them. I've already lost with AA against 23 that's simply because there is no hand that guarantees a win preflop.

We all go through Bad Beats and some terrible suck outs, and sure we feel that the whole World is against them, I have lost count of how many I have suffered, but I still play, The whole reason for playing within your comfort zone and within your bankroll is so that we can lose and survive to play another day.
It also depends on your attitude towards the game, Do you play to make money? Or do you play to have a little fun and enjoyment? Personally for me, it is the latter as making money is the furthest from my mind when I register for a game.
Sure money is always involved when it comes to playing Poker, but if you can minimize how much you lose, then the problems of losing becomes less important and you can enjoy the game more, I get as much pleasure winning a free-roll tournament, as I would from winning a cash game or a tournament with a $25 buy-in, It is never about the money, just about being number one and winning the Game! That's the fun part.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

anyone losing daily overall
take a break & you come back fresh

Tomek416 · Jun 3, 2021

I have actually done it, but I lasted only about a week.

Uzbek707 · Jun 3, 2021

I never thought about going out, I devote time every single day.

Cooking · Jun 3, 2021

I started to play poker around 15 years ago, so, I already had many breaks. My longest one was when I was in college and took a couple of years off poker. Now I usually take a few days or weeks off when I get tired of the game or have something important to do.

veloprofz · Jun 3, 2021

good to share experiences and suggestions, but unfortunately did not come here on its own.
In any case, you don't have to stop and need to continue, but you can take a break and start again.

Skripka Dmitriy · Jun 3, 2021

I thought very often, and even took a break for almost a year, and did not feel the change. I will say one thing, after the break it became easier to perceive the actions of people who do not know which card to play with and which one should be folded and bet everything. I began to play differently, and there is an effect.

To get started, you need to understand the difference between downstreak and consistent systematic losses at the poker tables. The most important thing to help you hold on during difficult periods, not to give up and not give up poker, is your goal in this game. It must be understood that only a small percentage of players eventually become successful, and this is the bitter truth. In poker, it is important to fight your ego. Poker can be very frustrating and angry, so sometimes it's a good idea to take a long break from the game.

kanycta99 · Jun 3, 2021

You have to take a break for sure. You don't work without days off or vacations, do you? Any activity, be it work or entertainment, needs a break.

GARCIA PABLO DANIEL · Jun 26, 2021

hello

if I have thought about it and have done it, I had temporarily left it for personal reasons and time

Grace36 · Jun 26, 2021

Yes

I stopped playing poker for 12 years and then they had a wpt league here and it was a free buy-in so I sat down and it was lkke I never left. So here i am.

pkr998 · Jun 26, 2021

I took some short breaks from poker but just to do someother stuff, like playing new video games, watch movies/ tv series etc.

erik_lima · Jun 26, 2021

Sometimes I get a bit tired of poker. Then I stop to play for a few weeks. It's good practice other hobbies also.

Hello! Honestly, I haven't thought about leaving poker yet, because I'm still new and don't play it that long! But sometimes it feels like you want to throw this game away forever, it usually happens when they move me with a very weak hand! But I understand that this is a tilt and it passes, and you just need to work on your emotions! I can only wish you good luck and not be upset, everything will improve!

Sorry I can't give you playing advice but I will share with you: Please do not make Poker your plan 'A'. Too many lives and relationships have been ruined by gambling, not everyone has the self-control to manage a poker lifestyle.

ArmiSoo7 · Jun 26, 2021

No!!! I will play poker all my life. I love this game.

Jedrey · Jun 26, 2021

I have already thought about it and stayed out of poker for a long time.
It was the time when I was taking many courses, studying a lot and working a lot too.

nimburkx · Jun 26, 2021

yes when I have more profitable work to do I quit poker temporary

johnsonmad · Jun 27, 2021

I have taken months off at different times. Sometimes you need a break.
