One thing I noticed is that it’s the same people who win, actually including me. But just recently, others who usually win started to play unusually and so I started to think whether or not I should also change my playing styles just like what those players did.

Typically, I play loosely but not dumbly, I will raise with good hands but also take my chances on some poor or mediocre hands, etc. And fortunately, I usually win because maybe of how I play. But so far, I am also becoming bored every time I’m seated on the table. Sometimes, me being bored is also being taken advantage of some other players.

I’m wondering if you could help me with this. Any tips or suggestion whether or not I should finally change the way I play? Take note, I typically play with the same set of people almost every time.

Thanks in advance!

Just an information, I only play online chip and some home games with several friends and the way we play seemed unorthodox. Typically, we play limit preflop and no limit postflop. Also, we don’t go big blinds small blinds.

Any advice or pointers? Anything will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Why is it whenever I fold beer hands I would’ve made trips on the flop or a two pair? At first, I thought I’m playing good poker by folding under large bets but whenever I do, things are just moving against me and that really frustrates me. Do you think it could have been better if I just play my regular game? Any suggestion please.

Thanks in advance!

One event I couldn’t really get rid from my memory was my experience in a spread limit. I went there to play $2-5 last weekend hoping that I would win. But just after about 3 hours of playing I had the same player hit four of a kind on me and me ending up with Aces full of Kings on 1 and nut straight on the other on the table. But things eventually went out of track.

This actually happens to me a lot of times. Pocket Aces losing to Queens, pocket Kings to Jacks, and the like. Sometimes, I react unlikely, but then I realize keeping my composure in situations like that will be more advantageous for me in the long run.

At times, I ponder on if luck is more intervening than skills or if luck really exist in the realms of poker. If luck’s really a factor to consider, then how am I supposed to deal with it? By the way, I haven’t been able to play months at a time, I hope it’s not the reason for me having bad games.

Thanks a lot. Great site!

At first, I don’t know what exactly to do. I barely last till the top half most of the time. But I never stopped. I looked for some books that could give me some strategies and my determination didn’t failed me. I found one that provided me almost everything I need to know.
But as of now, I am wondering if there is still anything else I can do to speed up my learning and progress to improvement? I play online at least a couple hours a day, and read for roughly another couple of hours. But I feel there’s more I can do. Are there sites that could help me out? How about tables? Any advice will do.

Thanks!

Merely, I started with 50 euro in chips and then earned 25 from it in a certain 0.25/0.50 fixed game. And before quitting, total +20 euro. At some point, I believed it was not that big, but it always happens to me. Any tips or advice?

Well, such situations are starting to annoy me. I don’t understand why these things happen. Any suggestion on how I can make things a lot better? Or on how I can maximize my performance? Do you it would be much better if I just play more average joe hands, like everyone else?

Thank you for reading this. Great site by the way.
