WHAT CAN I DO 2 PLAY PROPER POKER!?
is it me or does anyone eles feel players on this site are a joke! ive just gone out of a game with pocket Kings! the blings were 25/50 i raised to 900, 2 players called, the flop came J, 9, 6, i called 3500 all in one player folded the other called, he had 9 8 off suit, turn & river came 9, J
what am i suppose 2 do there?? i could of gone all in pre flop but what happens 2 me is someone with call with A anything and hit there A so didnt want that 2 happen
i did call all in Yesterday with AA and someone called J2 suited and they hit a flush!!!
i just dont know what 2 do, i watch sky poker on sky and here the pro's saying they will lose more often than they will win and it just a bad beat but its happening all the time!
i just feel im never going 2 play a proper game of poker unless im playing the pro's
opinions and advice needed.....

The blinds were 25/50 ? and you raised pre to 900 ? in answer to your question the first thing you do is stop raising 18 bbs pre and as far as the rest goes just be happy with the other guys play. in the long run you win more than he does.
What these two say here is odd. Yes dont over commit weak, but getting called there with K's is AOK.
I do have my own theory about the amount of beats people get on this site. Lets face it players on this site will limp with garbage and then call a shove with that garbage and J5OS beats AK suited more often than you realise, For this reason i think people believe there is an issue with the RNG and not that this site harbours more fish than a harbour and so the apparent bad beats increase in volume in comparison to other poker games/sites.
To answer your question about how to play 'proper poker'. stay away from bounty hunters.
Remember everytime these guys make these calls its like they are giving you money
i didnt realise his 900 raise was a 3 bet to a raise of 300, which is fine.
Playing these kind of players can be frustrating, but these type of players provide the bulk of your winnings. Poker is a game with huge varance. Its a skill game with huge luck involved in the short term, people need to realise this and just get on with it. Everytime a fish calls you with 25% equity or whatever he basically gives you money so be happy about it
It might be more interesting to play better players but its waaaay less profitable. Poker is about adjusting to the players you play. If you cant adjust to deal with bounty hunter fish good luck trying to play against good regs
With regard to the first sentence being able to play well against fish is a huge part of being a "proper" poker player as its where most of your profit will come from
If you get your money in 3 times as a 70% favourite you will expect to lose once true, but whats your point? If you are out that sucks, if you are shortstacked or tilted deal with it. You should want to get your money in as a 70% favourite. Variance will bite you more often the more you get it in, but its a long term game and you will win more the more often you get it in good, and you are going to have to run well to win any mtt.
If you are playing better players you mightnt get your stack in as often, but you wont get it in with as much equity either
I kinda get what you are saying in that people will get it in lighter in a BH and you are going to suffer more beats etc. If you want to avoid them fine, but so many of the reason you want to avoid them will be there in most tourneys anyway unless you are playing pretty big buy ins, and they should be pretty profitable if they play the way people seem to think
give me a table full of regs over a small bounty hunter any day of the week.
the ridiculous level people will go for your bounty really destroys the enjoyment for me. yes they are fish. yes they will lose but i would much rather enjoy the game im playing and rely a little more on luck than the average bounty hunter fish.
op - dont be naive about moving up and playing pros...they will most likely eat you alive (they are pros for a reason remember)
keep getting it in good....thats all you can do. if you dont like that about tourneys then try cash
Yeah i didnt realise it was a 3 bet either, because he only corrected it afterwards, origonally indicating it was a cold raise of 18bb's.
But since you ask, on the basis of the origonal sentiment: Yes 18BB's would be losing value in long run with a hand as strong as K's. But if your sat at a fishdonk table where you feel you'll get called for 18BB's, using the table dynamic as rule of thumb, then its a great bet. Simple rule with K's and A's, get as much as your stack across the line with 1 caller pre as possible. If you sized your bet to get called for 18bigs, table depending, then happy days.
this is a hand thats just happened. when he calls all in on the flop im thinking Aces or AJ KJ AK not Q3
i called cause if i get beat by aces far enough but the fish hits a straight and im out again

lol is this hand for real!!!!
pre flop is just comic genius!!!!!!
you limp with kings, then keep min rasing to the 3 bet 4 bet up to 7bet i believe!
once you get the 4 bet just stick the lot in!!!
you have all played the hand awfully bad imo
where do i find tables like this?!?
As played do what Waller says and stick it all in after the 4 bet!
