Default Re: why am i so bad?

You've not said how big the game is or where your playing.

If your game is loaded with donks calling against pot odds it can be a very difficult situation. First, if you've got one or two of these in the pot with you, they are calling on the flop no mater what you bet (usually) with open enders, naked aces, overs and flush draws. I take a little more risk here for less variance. I'll check the flop more often and make my "get out of my pot bet" on the turn. I'll still often bet the flop when I hit or think I'm ahead against this kind of player but I'll bet less and save the pot size bet for the turn. Even a total idiot often won't call the big bet with 1 card to come on a pure draw. With 2 to come they'll often call anything. I'm mostly about lowering my variance in these situations and trying to take many small bites of flesh when I'm ahead while not risking a huge percentage of my stack against this type of player without a very big hand (2 pair/set or better), Break them, don't let them break you when they get lucky.
