Default Got to stop this

First hand on the button. MP1 raises .36, and I raise all in 1.75 figuring the blinds would fold , and thinking I have mp1 dominated. . MP1 is holding QQ, and I have KK. SB calls with A10, ace comes on river, I get busted.

Both had me covered by $1. Did I make a poor play, or did I get screwed?

Makes me feel somewhat better, but this seems to happen to me everytime. I switched sites, thinking it would be different, but I guess not.

Why, were you on PokerStars or something?

At first I was on Pokerstars, and then switched to Party Poker. I was playing the begginers sections, and that is where this happened. I'm trying to play the proper way, and use the five percent rule, but I'm finding it hard when I take beats like this (and it seems like nightly).

Dont sweat it man. This stuff happens. If you have a limited BR, you must undestand the odds of going broke with it. There are reasons why professional players recommend a certain amount in a BR.


Besides, I am kinda going through a similar thing right now. Crappy cards suck, but good cards that lose are worse.

I'm mainly annoyed that I'm start giong throught this bad run of cards when I first start playing online. I was able to dominate the people I was playing with live, and then this shit happens. S'aright now. I just sat down, and started making my money back. I need to grow a pair, and learn to forget my bad beats. Suprisingly this site is helping me with that.

If you start singing the praises of Party Poker, you are going to get stoned at this site.
