and when I lost to the bad beats, could I have prevented it? Sure! What couldve I have done? Fking fold! Example your dealt KK, at a 25nl cash game and you raise 1-2 dollars, you get reraised all in with pocket 7's!(but u dont know that duh) What do you fking do? Fold! Thats right fold... Also there is one insance I was dealt qq, flop is something like aq5 ace and the 5 are diamonds. My caller goes all in with flush draw.. What could I have done? Fking fold... but no, i call with my set and he hits his flush on the river. Yes its a fking bad beat, but why risk all your $ if you dont have the nuts? Anyways, just play super duper tight, and youll do fine at online and real money games.. Gl all..
