i wanna die last 4 days

[Fepitaph]

I just want to die, for the last 4 days I enter any freeroll, except for cc, the whole table is limping, this is not a joke, just the same in 6 max 4 out of 5 limp in front of me, I try to isolate but it doesn’t work, sometimes I give out even 7bb isolate and limpers still calling, sometime bb coldcalling, it's just terrible, the worst thing is that it's always like only they get into the boards, respectively, contbet doesent working, i dunnow what to do

Hi Fepitaph.

I hope this is just a way to say you're frustrated. Poker has a lot of variance. If there is a possibility of something happening, it will happen at some point. And at the end of the day, it's a game. Take a break, cool off and get back in the game.

 

[BillyR23]

I guess it might just be a language barrier and the title of the thread is wrong(at least I hope so); in poker you have lots of variance and 'bad luck' can go for long periods of time- even years and many pro poker players agree that the only way to combat variance is to put a lot more volume...

If you play only freerolls then you'll have to be strong mentally as many players won't play seriously in this free games, they'll 'gamble' and they'll sometimes hit their low equity... also, IMO those high entry freerolls are a waste of time and you should focus on games like CC offers with decent number of players and good payouts to build your bankroll...

PS. Like @aquilex2799 said- take a break and relax for a while away from the poker tables, recharge and maybe analyze your game too(important spots from your sessions and what you could have done differently to get a better outcome), and hopefully after getting back you'll have better results... GLGL and stay strong!

Everybody calling with shit when you have a good hand. Oh, the humanity.

 

[puzzlefish]

Just jam and accept the consequences

 

[okeedokalee]

Those big freerolls are just like play money and Turbo poker, you won't get much enjoyment from them.

I agree with @BillyR23 opinion, in my case I only play freerolls and with little game volume, I will always be affected by variance, so there's not much to do is get your head up and register for the next tournament.

In these situations you have to play even tighter, and even more aggressive and absolutely no bluffing at all! This includes in my opinion C betting with zero of the flop.

Literally play AK and QQ+ and when you do, go really really big. If you don't get a caller accept it. There very little point playing post flop with TT and having 4 callers, as you're basically set mining only if no one folds to a C bet.
This way you either double up, or get low on chips, in which case play classic push fold.

You said C betting does not work.....so the simple answer is....stop doing it.

poker strategy has to be adapted to the players you are playing....this means you can't play the same way. You have to learn to adapt, or you will lose these games.

 

[georgi krastev]

the whole table is limping

I would make it 15-20bb.

I give out even 7bb isolate and limpers still calling

7bb is to low; 7bb only for one limper.

 

[Poker Orifice]

make a deposit. Any buyin is better than a public freeroll... even the lowest ones possible.

 

[BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch]

They're giving you a hard time because the value of any hand goes down with more hands seeing a flop.

You need a lot more skills than that preflop isolation game you're trying to beat them with.

And its a lot more involved which will give you a headache or end up frustrating yourself.

They're just one version of a bad player you'll face.

The other is the aggressive raising every hand because the don't know starting hands but they think they have to be aggressive or the one that doesn't play a hand but when they're UTG decides to all of sudden raise a pot because they're afraid of a meaningless blind to their stack and then they end up playing a hand they don't have the skill for.

I mean, I can go on forever.

You have to develop a solution that works for YOU against all of these various bad players. I see them at all levels, they'll call with trash trying to trap you in the higher levels so they don't go away.

There is a reason why the T2 is famous, that style of play doesn't go away it changes with skill but it doesn't go away.

 

[Sunz of Beaches]

Quit these games. Its as simple as that. Or go on a break anyway, u sound unnhealthy.

 

[infonazar]

Don't know what to do, take a break. Don't overheat, poker is just a game and it should bring you pleasure and not a nervous breakdown.

Maybe just calm down and accept, that you are not going to win every hand. Its ok to sometimes limp behind and then only play a big pot, when you hit something.

Study Study,Study. Play, Play, Play. Study, Study, Study. And so on. With time, you get a more solid estimation of what to do. And in Freerolls play a little like SSS(shortStackstrategy), 88+, AJ+, KJ+, QJ+ may be a push, you will lose many times, but pairs are made hands, most other limping hands not.
The majority of winning hands in Holdem, I think to remember in are two pairs. So if you have one that is great.

 

[yuriko oyama]

instead of doing something so radical, why don't you just stop playing these games?
your frustration changes nothing in this situation.
poker is very fond of adapting and tweaking.

 

[kaynbergo]

If you're talking about 888poker freerolls, just measure for yourself, you'll never be able to isolate someone with a bet, 8 people lose 1 bb, I bet 12 bb with aa and all 8 people call) that's the norm. The only way to win the hand is to wait for all the cards to come out and see the strength of your hand. It is impossible to isolate players at 888poker even at micro limits)

 

[Fepitaph]

thank u all guys for replies, ill hold on

😀 We all have days like this from time to time, try to relax or just stop thinking, do something else

 

[hardfloor]

try to adapt to these situations, okay punish the limpers but what range are you doing this with?, if you are taking a lot of calls at the beginning of the tournament I suggest you start folding instead of punishing and generating a big pot right at the beginning.
Very paying guys in micros and freerols, so use punishment only when you have a very strong range and fold medium hands that you usually punish.
In the middle of the tournament I guarantee you that these punishments will work very well and you can isolate yourself with these players who are apparently weak and clean.
But you won't have many limpers in the middle to the end because the bad players are already mostly gone.
Freeroll the population pays more, so focus more on strong values and bet very high to get the most money from them.
