Re: I\'m about to stop playing poker.
Suited connecters.
Actually ive had a short amout of these. One time i limped with 9Ts on the SB anf flopped trips which improved to a full house when the flush card came. That one hand was a huge pot that i won. But other than that, my QJs and KQs have been falling by the river to two pair on most occasions. Most of the time i get away from other people having a straight or flush because its so easy to spot when someone bets on the T/R who didnt raise on the flop if a straight or flush card comes. 89s - i like this hand but havent recieved it more than 2 times. Each time it got raised PF, so i folded. 78s- Are these almost to low of suited connectors to win?

Re: thanks
strde635,
I think this was just mentioned, but I am only skimming other posts. With this $2 structure, these "fish" are not making many mistakes post flop, and extremely few large mistakes post flop, which is where better players make their money in normal structure low-limit games. I would bet this game is unbeatable in the long run depending on the rake structure as well and should likely be avoided. Save up some money and when you turn 21, come out to the WSOP. All the worst players in the world attend and the pickings are pretty easy.

Re: I\'m about to stop playing poker.
OP sounds like he needs to quit poker if he can't even handle a little bit of variance like this.
Not to mention calculus and statistics aren't even close to being the same thing. Plus at 20 you're taking what....calc 2? Don't even think you have higher math down to a science.

Re: I\'m about to stop playing poker.
I say this with the utmost empathy, get used to it. That's the nature of low limit, live poker.
There are two problems with your thinking though. First, good starting hands have no right to win a pot. They are only statistically better over the longrun. More times than not (in low limit) someone will flop a better hand and you will have to throw away your hand. Having the discipline to do this will save you a lot of bets over time. In additon to this, the times you do flop a hand or your big pairs hold up these calling stations will pay you off handsomely and more than compensate for all those wasted preflop raises. You may run bad for a lot longer than twelve hours at a time. So fix your leaks. When the cards turn your way, and they will, you will have lost a lot less while waiting for your payday. Second, a poker player is like a major league hitter. He must be prepared to fail more than he succeeds. Each pot is like an at-bat. You can't hit a home run everytime. You must pay attention and gain information from the pots you can't win. Like a good hitter, make adjustments. In the live game you are privy to alot more information than on the internet, so use it. We've all experienced the same frustration as you. Anyone who says they haven't been through this at one time another is a liar. Be disciplined and hang in there you can be a winner. Good Luck! Scott

Re: I\'m about to stop playing poker.
To the original poster- The 2/2 poker in Florida is awful. It is ok to play it occasionally but try to get out of the state and play some NL or 6/12 and up. You are currently losing to short term variance and the giant rake. The best poker in Florida is online
