Message: [QUOTE="white_lytning, post: 1226833, member: 39455"] No hand wins all the time. Like the other guys are saying, it sounds like your doing fine. Getting beat is part of the game. If your hand is a 60/40 favorite your only going to win 6/10 times on average. You need to get that in your head. You want 2/5 to call you. You need to play more, and not get upset when you lose. Now to the actual hand. You make a large raise and a player with almost twice as many chips calls your raise pre-flop out of position. Ignore that you know what he has for now. He makes a decent size bet on the flop (we know now that he was semi bluffing trying to steal it there). You have less then 2x the bet so a raise here doesn't really do anything unless you want to build the pot. You come over the top and put 390 extra in. There is no way he can fold here. He is comitted. And has more than the right odds to make money on the hand. I question a few things: 1) Your preflop raise, why so much? You bet over 10x the bb. This is an obvious play of people with a scary hand that don't want action. 9s, 10s, jj, qq, even AQ or KQ sometimes. It also causes a problem for you because you don't have a lot of chips compared to that bet. It puts too large of your stack in play without really a reason for it. Is the 30 in blinds worth that much of a risk? 2) Post flop play. And there are a few questions here, I don't believe that poker is black and white and people do things for different reasons but why call the bet? With an over card on the board, I can see the enemy having an AQ very easily. He bet over half of your stack. Why did you feel that he didn't have the queen? 3) Why go all in? Its not going to push him off the hand, you don't have enough chips. A fold here on his part would be a bad play with almost anything. I know its frusterating but some of it is on your part, for this hand at least. You have to take beats in the games. It is part of the game. Bad hands are going to call you and get lucky occasionally. You need to not get so upset when it happens or you won't last long playing. [/QUOTE]
