Message: [QUOTE="Rumme1, post: 2965289, member: 182441"] NL hold em, is by far the game that has punished me the most. Hands that usually win big pots for other players { KK - AK - AQ } lose for me more then 60% of the time I play them . I can usually count on losing with my AK vs a underpair, just like I can usually count on losing with my underpair, vs my opponents AK. When the cards run like this, you are fighting a uphill battle because the coin flip hands are always working against you and the hands where you have a significant advantage { KK. vs their A/Q} , you also lose those hands way more then you should. Once again, this isnt over the course of a few weeks. Ive been tracking this loss percentage for years, playing online. I can almost guarantee that when I am nearing the end of a tourney, my bust hands will be KK -AK and I will have gotten my money in good preflop, but I end up losing. Now, some people may say, to just fold KK or AK...but IMHO, that is stupid advice, because they are 2 very solid hands, and if you must constantly fold those 2 strong hands preflop , then there is not much use in playing NL hold em. Even with this endless bad luck in NL hold em online, Im not losing a ton of money, because I have very strong bankroll management . I never put more then $200 in a online poker account and If I am unable to turn that $200 into a profit over the course of several months of play online, I wont make another deposit . I play a very tight game, but when I am confident have the best hand, I bet strongly...if I flop a very strong hand, I love to check and setup aggressive opponents. Many years ago , I was playing on partypoker millions dollar tourney. I got down to 18 th place...and sure enough I get dealt KK....a player goes all in with 10-10...I am the only caller..and he spikes the 10 to knock me out. I won a few grand, but once again, the dreaded KK costs me alot of cash. Its been this way for years...to the point that I now phsycologically hate to see KK in my hand. [/QUOTE]
