    in the same boat as you at the moment - going in ahead and being outdrawn on turn or river or, if they need it, both.
    Going to have to rethink my dealer bribes!!
    you did everything right - those 1 or 2 outers kill you everytime

    oh well, on to the next hand

    That's EXACTLY why I've stopped playing 2/4p. Most of the time my ABC was pulling me through but a few times yesterday exactly that happened but you learn not to put your entire stack on the line even with good hands at those blind levels. Calling that amount with a rag Ace pre-flop...they really must like gambling but it appears to pay off quite a bit :)

    Well learn to play on any site micro. People lose patience, get the chance to double up thinking i'll quit now i'm bored, i don't understand this game, it's boring, every time i get half a hand someone raises me, i'm sick of being bullied, I HATE BULLIES!!!! etc etc. It's just what this game is like. You get the odds bit ? A lot do though many not as good as  think they do. Now just reckon in the luck factor and the human factor then you realise you will lose a lot of pots. Hopefully you will win a FRACTION more over time. When you consider that 95% of online players lose then what have you got more of than those 95% ? If the answer is patience and discipline then continue. If not then quit now before you lose more and it upsets you. This is just a fact. Sorry man. this game can mash anyone up even top professionals. Just thank your lucky stars you found this out at micro and not $200/400 say ? And yes those nasty long-term surprises await the people you think are successful here now and on any other site.
    It's like this and that's the way it his huh ? Poker is a game of arbitrary factors.
    Tbh a lot of young professionals now play hi-variance madball It's fashionable for now. Nit up and wait. Try NOT TO FLIP unless you KNOW you are a big favourite. Try to PLAY AND THINK more and accept and enjoy. If that bores you maybe quit ? Might as well now because you will later for sure, see ? 95% of people in the main will too and those stats will change accordingly.
    What is it about this game ? If it wasn't played for money then no-one would give a poop. Would anyone play it at all if it were just for fun ? I doubt it because it is often NOT FUN !!!!!
    It's psychological and economic war between individuals. It's personal !
    Niiiiiiiiiice :(
    p.s - Tapey this isn't nesessarily directed at you personally. Just so many posts here saying same old stuff over and over. Can't people read ? I played a miilion hands micro and have NO ambitions in poker lonterm.  I can't be bothered writing this stuff if no-one tries to understand. I don't offer any good advice about the game at all except surving micro. Do that then maybe open new cans of ( tape ) worms at new levels. Honestly man it's a nightmare. But just a game nonetheless. Samsara. I mean what these poker players ever do really ? They work in hospitals or with people ? Who do they help ? What joy or enlightenment do they propose ? NONE. It's all rubbish ultimately. Just idiots with nothing better to do playing a game of skill/chance trying to line their own pockets. So they don't have to go to work like every other SUCKER ? Tell it to a nurse or fireman ? It will make you feel good right ? Know what i mean ? Why worry about A-K all in pre with 2 opps ?
    Just a game man, chill.
