to adjust your play. i readjusted, and you have to consider many things, too many to list. but its not just the cards, its an array of variables. and play a good game. in the LONG RUN, it will pay off. i have a simple research system i use to study my play. in every hand i am in that involves an allin, i apply a 4 number system to the hand. i record the hand number, then i apply a number to indicate which best suits the hand: (these numbers reflect position at the exact time of allin, whether preflop, on turn, etc.) 1. i lead, i lose, 2. i lead, i win, 3. opponent leads, opp loses, 4. opp leads, opp wins. its useful in as it helps to study how many badbeats you get. also, it helps to show you if you are making the right moves at the time of allin. for instance, since i started, i have 91 entries. 73 times, i led at the time of allin. i was beaten 23 out of 73 times by the time the river hit. so 50 times, it held up. the point is, try a simple system like this. recording the hand number, you can always complain and cite specific hands if you so choose. get it on paper, and study your play. figure what youre doing wrong, or maybe it just seems worse than it is. and dont be fooled thinking higher buyins net better players. i am playing low limit because ive been slapped around with badbeats. be smart, and stop thinking your pocket10s are good with a qj out on the damn board! i know when i play, i am playing a player, and a damn computer. if you play smart, play smartER. dont go ignorant on me here people.
