Constantly losing on the river

[csabika94]

either you need to rest. Or you have to analyze the party to see where the mistake was! I can't regularly win a 95% hand live because the turn and river are cut off. I'd rather relax.

It’s one of the most frustrating parts of poker, but it’s also completely normal. The river is just where variance shows itself the most. As long as you’re getting the money in good and making the right decisions before the river, you’re doing your job. Over time, those results will even out, so the key is to focus on decision quality, not short-term outcomes.

I doubt very much that you "constantly" lose on the river. However, if you're losing more than you should then it is almost definitely not just your river play that needs work. If you're making mistakes pre-flop, these will lead to bad flop, turn and river situations. My guess is that you're playing too many hands and getting too sticky post-flop and therefore getting to the river with way too many weak/marginal hands.

If you'd like to post some hands, I'd be happy to review them for you.

Welcome to the club, man. The river is where the "big pots" go to die. If you feel like you're constantly getting sucked out on, it’s usually one of two things: either you're giving too many free cards, or you're "marrying" your hand...
