Should I quit due to excessive bad beats???

[nuts]

If you're playing winning poker, the beats should be painful, but they should be outshadowed by all the small (or large) victories when your opponents didn't hit their cards. If you're making +EV decisions, you should be happy when your opponents make mistakes.

Take a look at your other hands, and if you can say honestly : "I am playing good poker" then continue.

I just realised you're playing play money.

you should be able to win more than you lose to bad beats on play moeny tables, perhaps it will take time.

ps - post in the right forum next time.

Ouuuch! Understand u´re angry! Think u know the answers to all three questions allready (no, yes and it´s not allways happening, no). My advice is to play limit poker to build u´re bankroll. The swings are much bigger in NL. Play limit and cool down!

Completely false. The swings are bigger in limit.

Yes, if you can't handle them.

Because you can make up for a downswing in one hand playing NL.

just have a break and/or drop down a level and rebuild your br.

Shut up! I am a pro, and almost every day I have a period where I lose more to bad beats than you have lost on all those hands combined. My point being, you try to make the odds go in your favor. Often you lose money, even if you get the odds in your favor, since it is ODDS, not cash. If you can't handle the truth, don't come here asking for it. If you can't handle, that you can only influence the odds and not directly your earn, quit poker.

Or you can double that downswing in one hand.
