About My Misses

Author: Texas Holdem

Hello,

I’ve been playing Poker seriously for more or less 5 months now. Honestly I don’t know if I’m already a good poker player or what though I actually grew up with people who loves poker very much and have a play-money bankroll of over $66000. By the way, I’ve been into $25/$50 No Limit online.

As of now I’m bothered about how concerned should I be about misses. For an instance, this morning, I had A,10 off suit and was in middle position. Guy before me then raised with a huge amount and I folded. I thought A,10 off wasn’t strong enough to call. After a while, some players called behind me. Flop then came and brought A-A-10. I was surprised and hurt then, I would have flopped the nuts. Another example was when I folded J,4 in early position and then flop came and brought J-J-4. If I limped in more or less I could have big money.

Any thoughts?

Hope to heart from you soon.

Benz,

Both hands were folding hands based on what came up. This type of scenario occurs a lot. For every time that your hand would have flopped the nuts, 8 or 9 other times you will miss the flop and have to fold and lose money. Both hands are long term losing propositions based on the information given. You were correct to fold.
