How do you avoid losing big pots to suckouts? It seems that over and over I'll build up a decent stack in a ring game, only to erase my winnings on one hand when some moron calls over 30xBB worth of bets to make a gutshot straight on the river. Should I just get all my chips in earlier in the hand, or bet less on hands that can be beaten by a 4-outer, or what? I'm lost and kind of aggravated. I know this is the sort of play that's supposed to make me money "in the long run," but it just doesn't seem to work out that way.
TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

you maybe pay the chasers of when they hit? cus if not you will win in the long run ... But you might wanna change tabel when you have built a good stack, so you have some money "safe", that will probably make you win less If you really can beat that game. But it will also minimize your bankroll swings. (maybe?) I dont play so much at ring games so take my advice with some salt. (thats a saying in sweden)

30bb x 95

30bb x 5 + pot

which is bigger?


if you play with the unfoldables, you exploit that by betting marginal hands you wouldn't normally bet because u know they will call you down
also, if you are somewhat certain that they are on a draw and pot is big, move in.

no one can manipulate laws of probability, everyone sucks out and gets sucked out upon.

suck it up and keep the EV+ going
