making the right call

im so sick and tired of making the right call and and end up losing to a donk who makes a donk call.

me to man, lets go right a letter

Me too. The other day I made a tough call with AK on a flop with like a 10 6 4 and the other guy had AJ. Needless to say the J came on the river.

isn't the point of poker to make right calls when ppl make wrong moves, which they for some reason or another think is the right move? If your making the right calls regardless of the outcome eventually you'll be taking them for everything, just let it pass/slide, don't beat your self up over something you can't controll, and just start playing poker all over again

Spot on, well said.

This seems like a productive thread that will generate a pleasant and informative poker discussion. Thank you for making it.

I agree...it's all about getting your money in the pot with the best cards and probability on your side. The problem, of course, is that even when you make the exact right move, Lady Luck has a say in the final outcome. I know that in the long run making the right move will payoff. The problem is dealing with the frustration in the short-run. I played a tournament last night at my local casino and got my money in with the best of it every single time that it counted. But, I busted out in 21st place when my Aces -up were counterfeited and the other guy had and Ace with a better kicker. Lady Luck and I never seem to be on speaking terms! But, I try to console myself in that I played well...which is little consolation to my bankroll!
