Cash game strategy

[Geldmakertje]

I absolutely don't like cash games!
I'm really getting sick of the fact I have bad beats all the way.
Deposit few days ago 14$ on PKR, had an good feeling so i joined an cashgame.
Well first few minutes nothing intresting won a good pot lost a bad one etc.
Than came the first bad beat hitted straight on flop pushed him all in and he called....
He had 6 high i 7... he only needed a 7 to make 8 high and ofc 7...
I knew it was poker so i rebuyed once 1$ and played again, after a few minutes a bad bluff of me so again i rebuyed.
Once i had many bad beats or playing bad poker i've lost my deposit in a hour.
On that moment i knew cashgame was bad for my play and my BR.
I still play now only SnG's or small tournaments to make some money.
Hopefully later if i got better BR i'm joining cashgames again.

I was having some of the same problems...poker come in waves....just keep playing and your luck will turn around before you know....just get as much time on the felt as you can!!!!!..it'll happen soon enough...see ya on the tables!!!!!!!!!

i also have a few words about the cash games and tournies... its true that a tounament most people plays better than in cash games... its the same for me also... for some reason why i play tounaments i make very few mistakes but much different from a cash game... in a tounament you buy in lets say $3s. if you loose you just lose that 3 bucks but if you win your probably wining somewhere from 70 something dollars to a couple thousands depending on what type of tournament. so you can make more better decision becasue you dont feel like its alot of pressure on you. in a cash game even at a 25/50 cent table make one wrong move and lose all your money... some players from cash games let they say will call or even raise with absolutely nothing and beats you or make you folds unless you have alot of cash sitting in or alot of cash to reload... but my advise is if u do play a cash game dont bluff espiecialy if your bankroll is low or try not to bluff at all cause these poker players out there plays agressive and like animals... and if youre losing money at the table find another one where you actualy win...if youre losing the longer you sit the more you lose.

Play at min 8players table and look tables by % and avrg pot before flop.

Play at min 8players table and look tables by % and avrg pot before flop.

Curious.... why play at min. of 8players/table? Could you please expand for some of us?

If my roll was so small ( mine actually is ) that losing some hands at the low limit tables would wipe out my balance i would surely stick with tournies, because you can get much better playtime value and can improve your play for cheaper then trying to improve in ring games where you are risking real coins everyhand vs virtual ones in the MTT. That is why i stick mainly with MTT because i am a small fish in a big pond and don't want to have to deposit more then once into a room, so far my strategy has worked out well at almost all my rooms but a couple i hAVE RE BOUGHT AT
