Re: Strategy Question
Shark,
You're going to take bad beats in poker. They're part of the game. If you can't take them, then poker isn't for you.
Having said that, if you're betting enough on the flop to give opponents incorrect odds to call, but they are calling anyway then you need to do one of two things. You either need to be happy they are making mistakes and move on with life or you need to learn how to get away from hands on later streets. Your post was vague and it's really impossible for anyone to say anything very constructive, but... if you are betting 1/10 of the size of the pot on the flop, then getting allin on the turn when the 3rd card of a suit hits, then you need to learn how to size your bets and also get away from hands. If you are betting 3/4 size of the pot on the flop and they are hitting some obscure 2 pair on the turn, then ok, it's a bad beat and you can get on with life.
Either way, you'd be much better served to post specific hands so we can tell you whether it's you or your opponent making the mistake. That way you can either feel good that you're improving your game or feel good that it's already strong.
