What am I doing WRONG !!!

20k trnny at PokerStars .4500 players ..down to 900 ..I raise the small blind 900
with the jack he calls ..A4 push all in ..I call .and the guy with the jack ..pre flop all in turn over to see .. no A no A .. winner will be in third place after the hand .. how can someone run so bad most of the time..
because if I try that shit with A4 ..I would lose to set of js or the Qs hold


I need to learn the way of the DONK ..because they suck out 80% of the time ..can anyone help my game out PLEASE ..poker is gettting sour
maybe I have just played to much ..seen so many bad beats in the last year

I try to play good poker .."get your money in with the best" fold A rag
open hands are like maybe 15 hands ..fold rest preflop

why do some players have ALL the luck ..
how do you guys and gals change your LUCK please tell me

You are going to hate this answer and its offered with questions Islandtime asked in the past......you are dealing with bad kharma. I would suggest that when your running good you are benefitting from good kharma.


I suspect that as you were watching this hand unfold you just knew something bad was going to happen.

This element of the game is even more significant when playing live.

When QQ gets beats by runner runner, poker and bingo are one and the same. When we risk our chips with Q 10 suited after the board flops AJ9 with two cards matching the suit you are holding and you beat the pair of aces. then you are a poker genius.

The reality is that we are never as unlucky as we think we may have been nor as smart as we think we have shown.


If you play long enough you are going to run into some bad beats but just like any other element of life how we deal with these adversities separates the winners from the losers.
