These statements aren't good. First you need to learn that getting bad beats isn't your only stumbling block. It isn't one at all. It just means you got your money in against an inferior hand and lost. It happens all the time. You shouldn't be pissed about it as you allude to with your last statement. You got the money in ahead and will win in those situations over the long run.

Your probably not playing as well as you think you are. Not even close. You aren't good. And neither am I. And you must realize this before you begin to get better. If you chalk it up to "being unlucky" or whatever then you will continue to lose and it will be because you suck and not because your unlucky.

If you truly want to improve it will take a long time and alot of work that at times will be dull or redundant. But you have come to the right place and have taken the first step. My suggestion is determine what you want to learn at this time, whether it be cash/ring games, SNGs, or MTTs. Next go to the subforum of whichever you chose. At the top of their will be a sticky saying something to the effect of "Digest/Tactics/etc". Go in there and read EVERY article. Then you can start a thread asking any questions you don't understand.
