Getting frustrated
Just woundering why is it everytime you watch someone stealing everypot and when you finally get the hand to go with them they have the one thing that beats you.
Kind of getting on my frustration.

Sounds to me like your playing a very good player Donald!
Get position, or change tables.!
Sounds like it DoHHHHH, the guy had been all in on the river every hand for 7 hands, i had KQ flop AKK he bet i raised (which i wouldnt normally) he calls turns a 4 river a 7 he goes all in and shows pocket 7's/
My game, when I'm on it...."on it" as in, on my game, not the ale, altho i probably will be on both.....
Its all about nagging, niggling, firing, shooting, c beting, check raising, being bloody annoying!!!
Tilll they finally crack and I win that 1 big pot.
Gotta c bet fold quite alot tho which is frustrating - but its builting a table rep to cash in later.
Dont worry about any of that yet tho....
Im going to take the rest of the world cup off get money sorted elsewhere load up £40 and give this a proper shot. Aiming to double my origional 100BB every hour on average. Work my way up the tables and become a better player.
This world cup being on is killing me, im getting distracted and playing poorer and poorer poker, so i think it is best. Ive not got any money to reload now, just cash for live games where i am still doing well, but i have no distractions there.
During this time im going to also re-asses my game and work on a few new things, that way ill come back a better player. I can read a situation fairly well but im still calling for no real reason other than stupidity.
Just a couple of months back I ran into you in several tournaments in a short space of time. You were playing great aggressive poker, and dumped me out of more than one. I made notes on you to that effect.
Now you are posting all the time about your lack of luck, or maybe its really about your lack of confidence.
Nobody in the forum can do much to help you ( not even DOHHHHH ! ) because you already have the game and just need to find it again. Others may offer sympathy but that is not what you need.
I suggest you stop feeling sorry for yourself, take a few days out, get a playable sum for a bankroll, while working out which format suits you best.
And when you come back play without fear, its what you do best !
And switch that TV off, its not compulsory to play while the footie is on !
Good luck m8

An example is on a DYM I had a pair of J's. Raised 3x big blind, got called by one opponent, who had been calling with rubbish all game. Flop fell J,7,3, rainbow. I went AI and got called with a Q 10 !! He then got an AK on turn and river to straighten and winds me up in the chat box !
Put's you off the game when it keeps happening.
I am going to take time off and build the confidence back up. I suit the aggressive poker and tried a few new techniquies and killed my confidence. Ill not make that mistake again.
I think it's very hard for anybody to play their best game without the correct bankroll behind them, that could be your problem Don.
When I joined I deposited 50 quid, each time it reached 100 I would draw 50 out, then try and build back up from 50 again. The trouble was that I was always scared stiff of losing a fiver, the prospect of losing 10% of my bankroll in one game was terrifying, even losing two quid seemed like a big blow. After reading threads here about BR management I realised I was doing it all wrong and just let my balance build up instead making the withdrawals. As the roll got bigger my confidence grew and I found I was playing a better game when free of fear, my results improved accordingly. I think when you can get a decent roll behind you Don you'll be right back on form.
So thats probably also helped damage my confidence.
On a side note any wounder i dont have confidence.
