Message: [QUOTE="aliengenius, post: 640128, member: 11924"] Your play in this hand says exactly the opposite. An immediate indication to me that you probably overrate your own play based on this early positive variance. Also, that you probably didn't follow proper bankroll management. As pointed out, pretty [URL="https://www.cardschat.com/f49/stop-minraising-71694/"]terrible.[/URL] I don't have a problem raising w this hand every once and a while in earlier position per se, but don't min raise. And if you are going to do so, you have to be "good" enough to get away from it when you need to. Clearly you are not good enough to do so. Recommendation: don't raise out of position with suited connectors until you understand the game better. So you called thinking he had A9? I don't get it-- does 97s beat A9? What you don't understand here is the concept of "reverse implied odds": hands that can only win you a small pot or lose you a big one. waht do you do? 1. You need to reappraise your self assessment of your current abilities. 2. Take responsibility for your results. You played that hand very poorly, and you deserve to get busted there. 3. Study the game as well as playing the game. Start by reading the "don't min raise" article linked above. [URL="https://www.cardschat.com/f49/first-poker-books-86485/"]Here[/URL] are my recommendations for starting books, if you haven't ever read one. Sorry if that was a harsh reply, but if you really want to improve (and not just complain about "beats", which this really wasn't), then you can probably become a successful player. Poker is full of people who think "im too damn good to keep losing like this"-- that's one of the great things about the game: the losers can aways blame "bad luck" instead of taking responsibility. Here is your chance to leave that group. [/QUOTE]
