Also share some of the hands, you are not sure about, to the tournament hand analysis forum. That makes it much easier to identify potential leaks in your game rather than a vaque general question like this,

It's a difficult situation but against they really loose players you should probably tighten up and just understand that sometimes when you play your premium hands they are going to also have good hands but overall it should average out and you should win the majority of hands if they are opening with trash often!

maybe your hand selection needs adjusting.... ( tighter approach) until you feel confident you can play even marginal hands.

There is no substitute for experience. After a few years you should start to get it, lol

Part of this is a mental game thing, where you need to understand, that losing hands is part of poker, and losing hands to bad players is also part of poker. Just because the opponent play many hands preflop, does not mean, you are supposed to win every hand, you play against them. So its ok to lose, as long as you played the hand well. And as I say, this is what, the hand analysis forum is for

That’s poker, my friend. If only good hands won, no one would play this game.
The good thing is that in the long run, variance rewards the ones who study the most.
If I were just starting out and could give myself one piece of advice, it would be: forget about bluffing and study more! Haha

Irl and online is totaly different coz of algoritam, its insane! I literally start to learn poker again, for example what i realize by playing online, when u join in hand with small to cards and gets 2 pair on flop vs pair in hand in 95% case on turn and river will double 3rd card to make his second pair and destroys urs! Just dont play on bad cards, not same as IRL!

Cleaning up and strengthening your preflop is one of the easiest and fastest ways to improve your overall game.It is important to remember that poker is a game of ups and downs. And to survive the downs, you need to play rationally and with a cool head during the ups.On the river, you should be betting a polarized range. This means betting a range that contains only value hands and bluffs, and checking everything else.

Hello, since everyone is focused on your gameplay, I'll summarize that for poker to be profitable, bad players must also win.
Against these players, patience is the best option. Just don't risk too much if you can't keep the bet.
For example, if you have a tall pair with 50 big blinds on the button and the flop already played, you don't equal 11 big blinds and then you're afraid of matching your all-in. This will greatly reduce your chips and, when you beat it, it won't do you any good.
I recommend watching a video on how to manage your bankroll. In any case, the most basic tip is to risk a little on the satellites to be able to play bigger tournaments.

Play as much as you can, and preferably live games, with other people. You will be more experienced this way.
