Losing Money: Should I Stop Playing?

[mssmotilda]

If you loosing that much in micro limits you better pay some coaching to improve your skills than loosing more

I agree with you, I think it will be cheaper.

Probably poker related death. You see that all the time.

try to study maybe or try to be more carrefull with your bankroll management, i down a lot of money also but that is part of learning i guess

 

[Gallarado777]

Of course you should stop and hire a coach to teach you how to play correctly and how to act better, or you will lose a lot of money even more

 

[tony2521]

The amount you have lost does not influence whether you owe or not, what influences is if you are playing at the correct tables according to your bankroll and if the money you are playing is not committed money to pay obligations since playing committed money It generates more pressure and suddenly you don't risk calling with draws or plays that you feel are bluffing but you don't call for fear of losing. I recommend that you analyze the aforementioned and if you are doing things well and you are going through a bad streak that you take a break to try again since we all know that if you have a good session you can recover your losses and some gain.

People can give a lot of advice, but you have to decide for yourself)
I just switched to freerolls.

It depends on how you are losing, if you feel that you are playing well, but you have had a bad beat you can continue playing, now if you are losing playing very badly it is better that you stop playing until you learn more about poker and then start playing

 

[rdwr33]

already happened to me. so i stopped for a month, i started to practice in freeroll the money i won i started to bet again. sometimes we need a break.

You know what a lot depends on you, if you love the game, then think about getting your game trained up, invest in a coach or a poker school. Maybe a good idea would be to invest in an online training program.

I have been playing Poker on Pokerstar for 2 months and lost 850 CAD already. Should I stop?

No, keep playing. But you should play only the money that you afford to lose

 

[moularaki]

Yes you should stop and practice more on freerolls

I don't know if you are still a member of Cardschat forum .
This happened to me a lot , lose all my bankroll and thinking what should I do next .
I have an good advice for you when ever you get tilt just take a break from poker , read some books , go outside , listen music , anything but playing poker , and when you are not tilt anymore come back and you will see poker in a different way .

Yes, you should stop and reevaluate your game. If you're a losing player, it's not a matter of bankroll, it's a matter of budget as the price of entertainment/education. You could play with play money, but for honing your skills I'd go right down to the smallest stakes and try and beat those - then work your way up.

 

[ADRI7HO]

If something goes wrong in your game and you keep losing, it's worth analyzing your game more to see if the loss is due to bad play or just bad luck. If there is no error in your game, a lower stake until the end of the downswing can be a solution.
Good luck.

Losing money is not a reason to stop playing, as long as it is not excessive, play moderately and then break it all

 

[RAGNARKZ]

It is better to learn the game first and then play for money

 

[DiazPoker3101]

You shouldn't stop, if I have to manage your bankroll, losing is part of poker, to win first you have to lose and even more so if you play tournaments where variance does its thing sometimes

 

[jazux48]

you need to stop, if there is a series of failures, it is better to take a break and enter a new game with new forces

 

[lukaszkrzi]

It depends on your goals and motivations for playing poker. If you are playing for entertainment and can afford the losses, then continuing to play may be a suitable option for you. However, if you are playing with the expectation of making a profit and the losses are causing financial strain, it may be a good idea to take a break and reassess your approach to the game. Additionally, it's important to remember that gambling can be addictive, so it's important to set limits for yourself and make sure you're not over-extending yourself financially.

Take a good meditation....few days...and start again! you*ll see a big difference!

 

[allfarewells]

It all depends on weather you can afford to lose this ammount of money my friend…. Are you treating it as a hobby with money you can afford or rather trying to make money for bill and stuff? If it’s the latter then absolutely STOP NOW! If you are treating it as fun then there’s no reason to quit but I would maybe sharpen your skill set a bit before jumping in at the deep end…lower your stake …. Take the 30 day cc course again…. Get advice from pro’s … whatever it takes….. also I know it’s hard but maybe try a different platform to pokerstars ITS A RIP OFF lol everyone seems to love it on there but the bad beat really are incredible… even if your amazing at poker In the long run you’ll lose on pokerstars try GG or Partypoker or somewhere else….. it may be that your not coping well on stars…. This is all the advice I can give my friend, I wish you luck in whatever you decide and good luck!


Much love
Danny

You have a great opportunity to play here to improve your game and understand it in more detail, to win - you need to beat the rest.

 

[COMIRRR]

Why play for money if you don't have the experience of the game? Start with some freeroll games and if you don't have patience, start playing with small stakes so you don't lose too much money

 

[Recreationalplayer]

Losing money in poker is not unusual. But overtime one should improve and become a winning player.

Study the game away from tables, review hands, check out good poker courses and improve fundamental understanding of the game.

Sometimes bad temperament can also adversely affect results.

If despite your best efforts, you continue to lose. Then maybe it's time to stop playing.

 

[Lipki3]

If losing this money does not change your life in any way and you have a desire to learn how to play better, then you can try. If not, then you can think about what is better to quit.
