Default How do you beat low limit games?

So, I am 20 years old, playing for about 4 years. The last year and a half I have taken pretty seriously and tried to get much better. The casino near my house is only 18 so I have been playing there. I started with 3/6 limit and was hit and miss with that. I started playing 1/2 NL and can usually do pretty well with that. I decided that I could outplay 90% of these players and that most of my losing sessions were caused by large suckouts. After a few months I found a 2/5 PL hold 'em game at a local card room that I decided to try. The problem with this game is also the suckouts. People spike cards like it's their job. I know what you are thinking...wait for the monsters. I have done exactly that. Yesterday my pocket aces were cracked twice because of suckouts. I constantly put my money in with the best of it and get killed. I was wondering what the heck I do? I am bust, and am frustrated. Is this common? I know I can beat a rag-tag bunch of crappy pot limit players. What should I do to become a better player and build a bankroll?

That's the nature of the game, the bad players are always luckier and suckout on the better players.

Move up until you find a game where the players respect your raises. I suggest the pokerstars mid stakes games.

Tell us your sn so we can sweat you.

Dude, your asking the wrong question in the wrong place. 90% of these guys play online, their stragtegies will vary from live players. I started playing when I was 16 in private clubs, I'm now 32. If you know your better, you should step up in a bigger game if you wanna build a bankroll. You'll also play with better players which will in turn change your game.

You beat the donks with three weapons: patience, skilled play, and an adequate bankroll. If you went bust, you were missing at least one of those weapons.

Ignore most of these nits in here. They don't belong here, be very careful of the advise you get in here if your planning on playing live.
