While this may sound\nillogical, it\u2019s completely true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since luck\nhas a major impact on every hand of poker, you\u2019re going to lose hands that you\nplay perfectly from time to time, whether you are a victim of a bad beat or a\ncooler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To best\nprepare you for such situations, we\u2019ll explain what bad beats are, how they\ndiffer from coolers, and what strategies you can implement to ensure you are\ncorrectly dealing with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Is A Bad Beat In Poker?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A bad beat\nis when you lose a hand, despite having been a big favorite to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In every\npoker hand, there\u2019s a favorite and an underdog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\nwatch poker on TV, you\u2019ll see that most shows display the odds of each player\nwinning the hand before the flop, on the flop, and on the turn. The percentages\nchange all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example of a bad beat would be losing a preflop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/all-in-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all-in<\/a> with pocket aces against T9 suited, although this is certainly not the worst thing that will happen to you in poker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have personally\nbeen on the receiving end of a \u201cone-outer\u201d many times in my career, which means\nmy opponent could only spike one card in the deck to win &#8211; and they did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any bad\nbeat is painful to endure, but you should really try not to let anything where\nthe odds were under 80 percent in your favor bother you at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all,\na 30 percent hand will win quite often, and you need to understand this if you\u2019re\ngoing to play poker at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are\neasily tilted by\nlosing any hand in which you are a favorite, you will not do very well at the\ntables, as these kinds of \u201cbad beats\u201d happen every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/tilt-in-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Tilt In Poker: What It Is And How To Avoid It<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Common Are Bad Beats?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be\nwondering just how often you\u2019ll experience a bad beat. Unfortunately, there is\nno single answer I can give to this question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For\nstarters, you will definitely have nights where you inflict many bad beats on\nothers and run very well, not having to worry about bad beats at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\nwill also be nights when your luck will completely shift, and you will\nexperience one bad beat after another, which can be extremely frustrating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nlikelihood of bad beats will depend on the game type you are playing more than\nanything else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shallow\nstack games like SNG tournaments are a recipe for bad beats, while deeper games\nlike live cash games tend to have fewer of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said,\na bad beat in a very deep live cash game can hurt you a lot more than a simple\nloss with pocket aces for a 10 big blind shove in a tournament, so it\u2019s all\nrelative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever\ngame type you prefer, you will need to be mentally prepared for bad beats in a\nvery big way before you start playing the game at any serious level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are Coolers In Poker?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another type of situation that comes along in poker every so often and can be extremely frustrating is something poker players like to call \u201ca cooler\u201d or \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/cheating-with-a-cold-deck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">cold deck<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coolers are\nwhen you have a monster hand but your opponent ends up having an even better one,\nand you lose a monster pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the\nmost common examples of a cooler in poker is getting dealt pocket kings and\ngetting it all in preflop against pocket aces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a\nscenario in which there is nearly no chance of getting away from your hand, and\nseeing the other person has AA is devastating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other\nexamples can come post-flop, such as making a nut flush only to lose to a\nstraight flush or making a full house and losing to a higher full house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence,\ncoolers are not much different from bad beats, except for the fact that players\nusually have to get their money in with cooler hands, while bad beats are often\na product of one of the players grossly misplaying their hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In either\ncase, both coolers and bad beats are incredibly difficult to handle, so let\u2019s\ntalk about some tips on how to overcome them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/texas-holdem-poker-hands-beat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Texas Hold\u2019em \u2013 Which Poker Hands Beat Which?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips For Dealing With Bad Beats And Coolers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I\nalready explained, there is no getting around bad beats and coolers in poker.\nNo matter how well you play, they\u2019ll come your way every now and again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do\nexperience a bad beat or a cooler, it\u2019s important to keep playing good poker,\nwhich is not always the easiest thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the\nbiggest losses I have seen at poker tables have come from tilt that resulted\nfrom a terrible bad beat, with players losing their heads and starting to play\nlike maniacs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want\nto have any chance of being a winner in poker, you need to learn how to handle\nthese inevitable situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Take A Break<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1.png\" alt=\"Player leaving the table after bad beat in poker \" class=\"wp-image-31142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1-148x111.png 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1-1100x825.png 1100w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bad_beat_poker_1-480x360.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest\nway to regain your composure and get back to playing your A-game after a bad\nbeat is by taking a short break from the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re\nplaying in a live setting, you can take this break by walking away from the\ntable, stepping into the lounge area, and simply taking some time to process\nthe loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the long\nrun, bad beats are really not a problem, but they may make you play very badly\nin the short run. A brief break from the game can help you forget about the\nhand you lost and allow you to play well again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a\nbreak can be more difficult in online tournament sessions as you can\u2019t really\nsit out without getting punished, but even this may be worth it if you come\nback playing your best poker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you run\ninto a series of bad beats that leave you mentally exhausted, you may still\nwant to take a longer break. Walking away from the game for a couple of days\nand engaging in other activities can be extremely helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever\nyou do, you should always remember that bad beats are a part of the game and\nare guaranteed to happen often, especially if your opponents are playing poorly.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Do A Study Session<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the\nthings I like doing after having a bad beat or several bad beats during a\nsession is going into the lab and studying the hands I lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During such\na study session, you may come across some mistakes in the way you played the\nhand that may have led to the bad beat happening, or you may conclude that you\nplayed the hand perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In either\ncase, you will improve your game for the future or conclude that there was\nnothing that could have been done to prevent the bad beat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\nknow for sure how the hand went down and that you did nothing wrong, you\u2019ll\nfeel better about yourself and even more prepared to go back into the battlefield.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Maintain A Healthy Bankroll<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad beats\nhurt no matter what, but they hurt a lot more if you aren\u2019t playing within your\nmeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the game type you like to play, there are different degrees of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/reduce-variance-in-poker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">variance<\/a> you will have to face, and these will also determine how big of a bankroll you should have at your disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are\nplaying a highly volatile game, you should have a huge bankroll compared to the\nbuyin to avoid worrying too much about individual bad beats and coolers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever\nyour game type, you should never be playing poker with just a few buyins, as\nthis is a recipe for disaster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to\nmake sure that bad beats won&#8217;t be the end of your game or even your career,\nwhich means you will want to have many buyins behind what you\u2019ve put on the\ntable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deeper\nyour bankroll is, the easier it will become to tolerate bad beats and the less\ntilt you\u2019ll experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Focus On What\u2019s Important<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you\neven set foot in the casino or fire up that poker app, you should mentally\nprepare yourself for bad beats and coolers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to\ngo into your poker sessions knowing that bad beats can and will happen and that\nthey don\u2019t really matter in the long run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your focus\nshould be entirely on playing well, putting yourself into good spots where you\nare the favorite to win chips, and avoiding making big mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\ncan\u2019t play perfectly, playing better than your opponents will lead to big\nwinnings in the long run, and no amount of bad luck can change that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are\nfocused on your bad beat, you may find yourself chasing losses or trying to\ninflict a similar bad beat on your opponents out of spite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a\nterrible mistake and will lead to your bleeding chips even further, as there is\nabsolutely no way to control luck or make bad beats come at your will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Play The Hand You Are Dealt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poker is all about playing\nevery single hand you are dealt as well as you know how to. After a bad beat,\nyou\u2019ll be dealt a new poker hand, and you will need to play that hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of thinking about the\nloss you just had, you need to reset your mind and start thinking from scratch.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at your cards, your stack\nsize in relation to the blinds, and the action in front of you. Think back to\nthe preflop charts and positional play and figure out the best way to play this\nhand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous hand is done, and\nthere is no way to win back the chips you have lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you can win some new\nchips and continue winning as you normally do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Don\u2019t Vilify The Player<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker.png\" alt=\"Poker player angry with opponent\" class=\"wp-image-31143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker-148x111.png 148w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker-1100x825.png 1100w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tilt_poker-480x360.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A very\ncommon thing at the poker tables is for a player to get frustrated with one of their\nopponents, considering them to be the villain of the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this\nis the case, you will see the player often re-raising against the villain and\nplaying very bad poker in general against them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is\nabsolutely not the way to win at poker! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter\nhow an opponent beats you, you need to play the best game you can against them\nand everyone else at the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being\nlaser-focused on just one opponent will make you clash with others who\nwill heavily exploit this personal vendetta you are on, and even the villain\nmay end up owning your soul with an actual hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always go back to the basic elements of poker and try to\nrealistically determine everyone\u2019s range based on their actions instead of just\nrandomly trying to outplay a single player at the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Be Willing To Fold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some bad beats will happen on the flop or the turn, and you\nwill be a heavy favorite when you get your money in. In this case, there is\nnothing you can really do to save money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, there are bad beats in which you don\u2019t\nget all your money in before the beat happens, and you are now asked to pay off\na large bet on the river by an opponent who is unlikely to be bluffing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, consider a situation in which you make a big\noverbet on the turn with pocket kings on a Q-high board with two clubs. Your\nopponent calls, and the river comes the ace of clubs. Your opponent now goes\nall in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to make a spite call, despite knowing that your\nopponent most likely has the flush or other hand that has you beat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is never a good idea, and you should be prepared to\nmake folds even in situations where someone made a frustrating call on the flop\nor turn and caught the miracle card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking strategically and saving money in spots like these\ncan be a big thing over the long run, as you will save tons of money by making\nthe right plays in spite of your emotions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Losses in poker are inevitable &#8211; no matter how good you are.
