How can anyone build and bankroll!!!
They say you have to start at the bottom and work your way up to build a nice bankroll but how can anyone possibly achieve this when people at low level will call anything to hit that 1 miracle card on the river???? It's such a joke and puts me on tilt in the very worst way, but what is even more tilt is when they call an all-in to hit the flush or straight or 2 pair with only the river to come and it hits 9 out of 10 times i find on sky. Is it just sky or the players who play on sky making these calls. And for all those who say you want them to make that call because in the long run i will make more money well not on sky because like i said 9 out of 10 times it hits. Everyone always seems to say i always get my money in good and then lose well in my case this is the story of my poker life. HERE'S 1 EXAMPLE : I hold A10 i raise pre to 3x and the BB calls like i expect the flop comes 3,9,A rainbow i raise 3/4 pot and the BB calls again so i think maybe King 9, the turn comes a queen so i cant really see any draws made but this puts 2 hearts on the board i raise all-in as this is the only bet i have left the BB snap calls and turns over K8 of hearts and the river well for those who dont know where am going with this come a heart and makes his flush, He had no pair no draw post-flop and still called my raise maybe hoping to take it at a later street but to call my all-in when IF he had lost would have crippled him is beyond me can anyone shed any light please because this happens alot to me and am just about sick of it!!!!

Maybe there are areas you can improve.
We want to play bad players if we have an edge over them.
Even if you have like £10 in the account it would be better to play 30p games then £1.15 or 60p as less chance of you going broke, although its higher rake you can easily grind up from 30p if you put the effort in and your reasonably competent
Play NL4 cash and/or DYM's - have a read up
follow simple tight, tight, tight ABC game in both and you will build a BR
trying to build a BR just playing MTT's is really difficult, if your playing MTT's then only
play with 1% of your BR.
cash you can play 2-5%
If you oppo is getting there chips in behind then that is good
play tight, stop moaning and play 200+ games
You have only played 19 games, play more games and you will see if you doing good
plus stick to one level, your jumping around from .50p-£3
beat one level then move on, play 120+ games at one level
yeah just pretty much what others have said, post hands & get feedback
yes,it is tough m8 at all levels.
the problem with only having a small b/roll
is it is so easy to lose it if you find yourself
on that bad run especially playing n/l cash.
my advise is put in £50(if you can)
as this definately gives you more options
and a better chance of not going broke.
that is how much i started with;
and am now £650 pluss up.
as the guys have already suggested;
find john connor,s "abc of DYM,s "blog
then find a dym level that you are happy with,
i,d suggest
maybe 60p or £1.15(saving you 5p in rake)
and see how you do.
i was playing £1.15 level not that long ago,and i,m now playing
5/6 tables at £3.30.
anyway,good luck and run well.

it is frustrating and you feel the whole world is out to get you but u just got to get through it. yesterday for me was terrible, i lost 5 dym in a row, all with getting my hand in good and being outdrawn every time. but yesterday was my first real bad day for 2 months! just take these bad days on the chin and wake up the next day and forget about what happened before and you'll be alright.
Last thing, try and post that hand you were talking about, would be intersting to see and we can give you some feedback.
gl at the tables (not at mine tho!!)
You want to be playing these guys, they won't always hit, in fact most of the time they'll miss and pay you off.
Keep plugging away, like people have said, post in here and read some of the guides but if you just keep your game soilid you won't go far wrong and over time you'll win alot more of these situations than you lose. Just don't let the bad beats get to you.
Hope this help u and good luck hope cya on the tables one day
