Default TEXAS HOLD THEM BAD BEATS

When you go on a Texas Holdem poker losing streak it is extremely important that you don’t lose hope. If you are playing the odds they will eventually turn back in your favor. To be certain that your Texas Holdem poker losing streak will end you must evaluate your game. Make sure that the losses you suffer are expected as a part of this Texas Holdem strategy. There are two infrequent situations where you will lose a lot of money yet still be on the right side of the long term Texas Holdem odds. The first is bad beats and the second is pushing in with a big Texas Holdem hand when someone else has a bigger Texas Holdem hand. Both of these situations are to be expected and should not upset you.

A bad beat is when you have the best Texas Holdem hand, put all of your money in the pot, then someone sucks out on you. If you play this Texas Holdem strategy correctly you will almost always be ahead when all of your money goes in the pot. When you are ahead it will be by a huge margin. Most of the time your opponent will have less than a 35% chance of beating you if he sees the river. Usually his odds are between 8% and 19%. Think of yourself as running a casino where you win more than 65% of the time. Every bad beat should be celebrated because without bad calls from your opponents you won’t make money.

When you push all of your money into the pot with a set after the Texas Holdem flop or with KK before the Texas Holdem flop and get called by a bigger Texas Holdem hand don’t let this depress you. The odds of a bigger Texas Holdem hand being in the pot with you is so low that it pays in the long run to just get your money in. It hurts to watch that money slide to the other side of the table, but you’ll be ahead more often than you are behind so just stick with the Texas Holdem strategy.

If the above two situations are the only cause of your Texas Holdem losing streak don’t get depressed. Just keep playing. I’ve had Texas Holdem losing streaks that are eight times the amount of the maximum table buy in. So that could be a $400 Texas Holdem losing streak if you are playing the $50 no limit Texas Holdem poker tables. These times will terrify you because you’ll be only $100 away from losing your entire poker stake. Don’t lose hope. If you continue to play, the odds will play out and your money should come back. The Texas Holdem odds have always played out for me so that I’ve never had a losing month.
