Against Unskilled Players
Hi there!
I want to know, how do you personally play against unskillful players? Unskillful in a way that is also ignorant. I’m referring to those who watch WSOP too much and believe that anything at anytime can come up.
Just last week, I was in a friendly game, buy in was $10. Players who were present were newbies and so I expected a not so good, thrilling game. Well, I had KQs and was on the small blind. Guy in early position first raised. Quite unexpected, there were no callers. Button then re-raised and so I called. Initial raiser then folded, therefore it was then heads up play. Flop came and brought KQ4. I then placed a small bet and he raised me. I then pushed him all in.
Later, he flipped his cards over, bottom pair with an Ace kicker. Then he suddenly made on the turn another 4 and I lost.
Anything to say? Such situation happened for several times and the ending has always been the same. I hope you can help me.
Thank you in advance.
Warm regards,
Rocky
Rocky,
When bad players suck out on you, it can be frustrating, but you played well. When you play well, bad players will suck out on you. Play a solid game against these opponents or play a small ball style that will let you see a lot of flops cheaply.
If there is a lot of action preflop, then play a solid game and push your advantages hard. They aren’t going to always suck out on you.
