    I know that the amount is not much to you guys that play higher stakes. However, I have been loosing for the past month and keep moving to lower stakes... the lower I go the worse I lose to bad beats. Not sure what to do since I have consistantly lost for 20K hands, perhaps it's time to give up poker.


    -Cheers

    Shitty. Stakes dont matter for most considerations. For example, if you would have called that in middle position you would have got what you deserved, but limping the BB to flop the nuts, get it all in and lose to a backdoor flush... hurts at any stakes.

    It's the volume that kills me. I have been running into this sorta thing 1/4 of my all-ins. I am down 2K BB's for the last 3 days (and I have a positive EV). I know there are alot of bad beats online because of the volume of hands... but it just seems that it's only the hands that I get it all in the pot that I lose to the underdog. I don't think that Online poker is rigged at all, as they have nothing to gain from it... unless they seeded people into tournaments. However, I am just running statistically unlucky for all the hands that I have played.

    Play higher stakes. Plain and simple. You are playing in the lowest stakes where people won't fold for the life of them. Trust me, anything lower then the $6.50 SNG level is riDONKulous. When you play people who know how to fold preflop, and more importantly, when they are behind after the flop, you will see you won't take as many bad beats. Yeah it will still happen, but not as much as at the penny tables and the $1 & $2 SNG level.

    I raise 2.5 BB.
    MP reraises to 7xBB.
    I call
    Flop ( Ac 4h 2h)
    I check
    He raises
    I reraise all-in
    He calls and shows (9c 9d)

    Why are you sitting on shallow stacked tables, and do you have rakeback (you play on fulltilt, right?)

    I don't have rakeback. I play on shallow tables because I am often trying to do academy challengs that require 2 or 3x max buy-in.

    I don't know if I can still qualify for rakeback

    I did a 600 dollar bonus; and then I refered a friend for a refer a friend bonus. But thats all that I have done. I suppose I could sign up for rakeback on a site other than stars or tilt?

    Either way, I think that I am done with NLHE. I have lost at NL25, 10, 5, and 2. So the common factor in that is me. Not everyone can be a winning player
