When you play poker at the micros you should be prepared to take a ridiculous, and frankly incomprehensible, amount of bad beats.

And please don't get it twisted. This is precisely why these games are so insanely profitable!

But many people simply don't want to accept this simple truth. They want the high winrate WITHOUT all the bad beats.

The want to deny all the fish their equity and simple take their money over and over again.

I am sorry to break it to you. But the game of poker simply doesn't work this way.

If you want the high winrate, then it will [I]always[/I] be made on the backs of some really, really bad players.

And they will always have their equity in the pot, no matter how small (5% chance to win, 10% chance to win, 20% chance to win etc).

And they will always call you down with their bottom pair and chase every ridiculous draw and so on.

And this absolutely, undeniably will lead them to get "lucky" sometimes and give you a bad beat.

Please, please take a second and just make peace with this simple truth right now.

If you play at the micro stakes, then you WILL receive an absurd amount of bad beats.

Period, end of story. Mark these words in stone.

Please just focus on the ONE THING that you absolutely do control in this game, which is playing every single hand to the best of your ability.

And let the math take care of the rest.

Because this my friends, is how winning is done.

Do you play small stakes poker? How do you handle adversity at the poker tables?
