 How to rid myself of BAD BEATS-Catching., Eric, 27. Aug 2003 16:09 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| I have been playing on UB the the past few months and my swings are huge. The swings are caused by my good hands being cracked by drawing hands on the turn and river. My KK being cracked by an Ace on the river... my straight being cracked by a flush draw catch on the river. The case in most of these hands is i will bet the pot on the flop and ill get one or two callers. Come the turn ill bet pot again and get the same callers and on the river I always get reraised and either fold because im scared they beat me or re raise all in because i dont want my pockets are straight to be beaten by a stupid drawing hand. How do I prevent these situations from happening? Play more aggressive... tight... what! Because at this rate my bankroll will either be wiped out or I will stay even for the rest of my career! | ||

Focus on your plays and not on the results. If you play correctly you will win over time. In fact, playing correctly is the only thing you can do that will have a positive effect on your bankroll. Nothing you can do can alter the outcome of the cards. Ranting raving, fussing and fuming will do nothing to change the outcome of the cards. Take control of your emotions. Stop wasting energy ranting and worrying about something you cannot change. If you stop focusing on outcomes you will be happier and more confident in your play. This will make your play stronger.

The way they deal they cards, the time you take to bet will alter the next card off the deck as they don't start with a static deck at the start of the hand but rather pick a random remaining card from the deck when it is needed, right down to the river. This info comes straight from their website. You still can't predict what the card will be, but you DO influence it by your actions. You can now forever wonder whether or not you would have caught instead of your opponent if you had made your mind up quicker or had checked instead of bet, etc. :-) So much for Zen. | ||

| So, is there any way to control this to get the cards you want to come up on the turn and river? I'm looking to increase my winning hand percentage to 100. This seem like a good way. Of course, if you knew how to control those 'random' cards, you wouldn't be mentioning how in a forum probably. Send me an email...don't tell anybody. | ||

The fact that UB picks a random card from the deck does not affect anything. You still have as much chance to pull your miracle draw if they had a static deck. You will drive yourself insane if you think that just because you clicked at that exact time you cost yourself $$. Sometimes the cards fall against you and sometimes they fall just right. > | ||

| The way I control not taking tough beats is to not put yourself in those situations... don't give yourself the opportunity to say "I HAVE to call" You never HAVE to call. My basic strategy to avoid such bad beats is to tighten up your starting requirements - and if you think your up against a draw - really make them pay to see it. If you get busted when you are a favorite - that shit happens - that's poker! | ||

It is a fact. Now, if you want to decrease the number of bad beats you take, you can do one of two things: 1. Don't play. No play - no bad beat. 2. Play every hand all the way to the end; show it down. This way you will win every hand that you possibly can, and the overwhelming majority of your beats will be very ordinary. In fact, you will experience so many ordinary beats that the bad ones will almost disappear in comparision. Of course you will need to start out with a much, much bigger bankroll using the second menthod, than you will that first. As for me, give me a someone taking a shot at putting a bad beat on me, anyday. Paul Stine College Station, TX | ||
