How the he.ll do you people play .05/.10 games?

I find myself wanting to smash things when my aa is constantly getting cracked in 50.00pot all-in 5 way preflop action.

[censored]....when the 2 hits the river on that A-K-2-7 board and you're holding AK...its completely sad that you know you're beat.

Dude you need to take a step back and if that gets you angry you need to reevaluate your understanding of poker.

Put it this way - say I give you a game where you have to go all in pre-flop every hand. Equal size stacks so you have one 'betting' round pre-flop.

Now I give you the opportunity of choosing one hand to always play with.

What hand are you going to choose?

And to your other example - in the same turn situation - how are you going to feel the other ~90% of the time when a blank hits

I went trough .02/.04, .05/.10 and .10/.20 fairly fast. Sure you get sucked out alot but the times they call with crap more than make up for that.

You'll never get away from the freaks - whatever limit you play at.

I had Pocket Aces cracked last night at a $2/$4 table - by two pair. 6 and 2 no less. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES.

The guy called my PFR in the BB with 62s! Hit a six on the flop and carried on until he hit 2 on the River!

What can you do? Muck em, forget about it, MOVE ON. Just use the info you've just learned to your benefit next time around. You'll win that money back from the villain, with a little interest.

Learn to "appreciate" the suck-outs.

Verily the good book tells us that,
'The correct way to learn poker is to understand it theoretically, and make sure you make the correct play, regardless of the results.'

SSHE p.17

That aside, a '50.00pot all-in 5 way' sounds like a No-Limit situation to me.

spec. I have had people call me down and push their entire stack with ace high in 5/10NL. There is always someone who plays as though the money doesn't matter regardless of what limit you are playing. In a live game this past weekend I lost a full buyin @ 1/3NL with AA when someone with K3 called an all in raise on a flop of xx3 and spiked his set on the river. Hands like this are frustrating but don't convince yourself that they are only happening because you are playing micro limits! This is a huge misconception that people have. There are LAG players at every single limit live and online.
