Seriously I CANNOT play good Poker anymore. Please Help!

I cant play because Adobe Flash is messed up. It says it is enabled and Adobe will not help.

Scratch that. I’m back Bitches!!!
1st place live rebuy tourney 12 tables of 6 . You do the math.

Be smart. :expressionless:
Be Like Shady :sunglasses:

What will really mess with your mind is that how you play on a free money play site is totally different than playing a real tournament where you actually put in the real money buy in and try to win real money. There are most definitely different strategies to employ in play money tourneys compared to real money tourneys.

I have been having the same problem, every time I have a good hand, like two pair or a full house, someone else has it better. I keep going all in on 5’s full of 6’s and someone else has 6’s full of fives. It is very annoying and I keep having to top up my chips.

Dont worry about it. Its free so just enjoy it.
Those things are gonna happen in all forms of poker live or online.
Just play your best, be patient and make little mental notes of patterned behavior shown or (In Some Cases : HIGHLIGHTED IN BIG NEON LETTERS) by your competitors.

And, as always… Be Smart, Be Like Shady :sunglasses:_

Of course! Writing notes on players and knowing how to counter all types of players is one of the most interesting and useful aspects of the game. Low stakes Replay can often play like a $1/$2 live game, so you can’t make complex plays, PFRs can be very big due to players in-elasticity and c-bet bluffs should be small (or not at all) etc. Low stakes here is so easy to beat though. I would get out of it as fast as possible :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow
Cool Story

I posted this as a sample of my playing style so better players could give me advice

sounds like you play a lot of call/fold preflop (looking at hand 31, u get through without calling as bb with 36o?)
try to open up with a 3x raise like you did in the AQo hand.
U had average hands for a sample size of just 45. Not much u can do with 93o hands.
Also i see that you call from small blind multiple times, i know it’s enticing to call because you’ve already put some money in, but small blind is, by far, the worst position to play from. hand 23 KTs seems like a decent hand but you’re either going to win very little or lose a whole lot thanks to your garbage position post flop.
Idk what tables you play at but vs bad players you generally have to play very boring poker, allowing them to make mistakes rather than try to make plays yourself.
hand 14 Q2s is just throwing (fake) money away, don’t play that hand for your own sake.
Also unpopular opinion, AQ is a very strong hand, but hard to play, you might actually want to stay away from playing big pots with it as you can VERY easily make huge mistakes with it, if you play cash games (not tournament) raise once and just fold it if you get reraised (like you did, to your credit, good job)

The thing I take from this is not that you should listen to us, but to yourself. Folding is the most difficult aspect of the game and not folding when you should, the most expensive.

Best of in the future.

Look for help from within.

Let your higher self play a hand.

The higher self refers to the most evolved and spiritual aspect of an individual, transcending the limitations of the ego and physical existence. It is often described as a state of consciousness that acts as a source of guidance, wisdom, and love, connected to one’s soul purpose. The higher self is seen as an eternal, omniscient, and intelligent being, representing one’s true essence. Accessing the higher self can be achieved through practices like meditation and introspection, which promote greater self-awareness and acceptance. Overall, it embodies a quality of consciousness that helps individuals navigate their lives with deeper understanding and insight.
