Why do I suck at poker?

[TerpZone]

Its just bad luck?
why always I have somthing someone else has somthing iven better?
..lol...
My godness...
I should have folded straight from woohoose bet? I dont think so..
But after having to call all in that was sure I would have a worst hand..
So I was gamblimg..
So I think I suck bad at poker..
calling 2 all win with JJ is the worst move someone could do..
And I did it.. So I guess I suck really bad at poker..

You only called 1 all in with JJ. The rockets came in behind you. It would have been a bad play if you were last to act, it's just bad luck in middle though.

U are right...
Im reading a poker book.
The little green book, and at some stage it says something like this:
All-in pre-flop.

...Under the following circumstances, I dont think its ever wrong to push all-in.
..
..
..
"I have the worst hand, but even if my opponent calls my all-in bet, I'll be getting the right pot odds."
..

I Dont undestand this sentense. How can someone have the right odds having the worst hand? can someone please explain it to me?
thanks!

Think of it this way... if you bet 550 chips with 27 and someone pushes behind you all in with 600 chips, the odds are in your favor to call that remaining 50 chips regardless of how far behind you are.

well anyone raise it to 550 with 72 and only have a total 600 chips is just a dumb move in the first place but i understand what your talking about.

It was just an extreme example.

i know what your were meaning with that but just wanted to point out how bad of an example that was but all in all i think we get what your trying to say. well i cant speak for nav cuz he doesnt get anything people tell him.

i forgot which pro said this but "if your not folding the best hand sometimes, your calling too many bets."

But thats too obvious..
I think he is stating that he goes all-in straight away.. not being pushed..
