GENERAL POKER STRATEGY - BAD BEATS

Bad Beats... Have you ever been the victim of a bad beat?

Sure, we know you have. And how did it make you feel? The answer should be great!

Once you take a good look at what a bad beat really is, it should make you feel good to have them come your way as often as possible.

What is a bad beat, but an opponent getting lucky against the odds once in a while. They are supposed to get lucky once in a while or they would stop doing dumb things real fast. But you want them to continue to do dumb things, at least as long as they are playing with you and what better way to encourage them than for them to win occasionally. Remember in all bad beats, the odds are in your favor or they wouldn't be called bad beats.

So, next time someone puts a bad beat on you, keep in mind that the more this often this happens means that you are playing with player who are playing worse than you. And when their luck runs out, and it will, these players will give you a lot of their money.

Something to think about.
