My New Poker Beginning

Posted by GetOnBass - Posted on February 21st, 2010

I caught the Holdem poker bug after the "Moneymaker Phenomenon". I have been at it HARD since then. I have played almost every day since. I have read books, online websites, blogs, and interacted with live people (imagine that!).
And yet, I hear myself saying the same things that I read...Bad beats, BS, RIGGED, cheaters... blah blah blah.

So, I am asking for input from someone who is an actual winner at poker.

and my question is....How do you avoid the bad beats, suckouts, etc. ?

obv you can't. Here's a thing i learned over my years, you will not win if your confidence is low, so as long as you manage and keep your mind set all about shoving ahead you will be a winner and WILL be the end result in the long term.

I had a day in January when I lost with AA 5 times out of 6. It's still better then not getting AA than losing with it like that. But even losing with AA is ok, in the long term it will be the most profitable hand. The trick is affording to lose with it.
