hi big d ram,
that,s on-line poker my friend.
it,s tough.
that,s why u need to play well inside your bankroll,
so if/when u lose it doesn,t hurt u too much.
if £15 is hurting you i suggest playing even lower stakes.
when i first started i played with £4 a night and when it was gone,i stopped.
eventually u learn from your mistakes and it eventually turned around 4 me.
i,m not saying that you should do the same,
just saying only play with money u can afford 2 lose m8,that,s all.
practise makes perfect as they say,so it all takes time.
i don,t know how long u have been playing?
anyway,
tomorrow,s another day,so let,s hope your luck changes then.
cheers buddy,
:-)

Thanks for feedback

Been started playing 2 year ago won a few tourneys and cash games as well as in casino then took 6 month

Break due to constant gettin rivered and put down to bad luck

Came back to play 2 weeks ago £15 not bothering me it's the constant getting out played and not hitting

On the board then when I do hit there's the better hand made on the river from a 4% chance of hitting

Read up on books changed way I Play and do the math but I will get there probbe more aggressive and call an all in with a 4 an 6 off suit and beat trip Aces. They say don't hate the player hate the game but what player will call 3700 from an early position

And I raised from under the gun

I'll continue to play on and will see how June has in store for me

its going to happen and we all go through it, your obv playing low stakes so remember your gonna get players that are not really clued up on how to play good poker so can be quite unreadable at times and they do get lucky and call silly bets when were ahead only to suck out. The trick is knowing how to play against them and knowing how to play against better players! Everyone is at different levels of skill or different styles of play, some are tight, some are aggressive some are loose or a mixture of all of them. With calling stations i.e someone who just calls for the sake of it hoping to hit something like a Rag A! then don't ever bluff them and control your bet sizes If you continue betting lets say the pot on every street and they keep calling you and you hit top pair on the flop and they hit an A on the river and shove all in, you have to learn to give up the hand and to some players because they have bet the pot on each street they feel they are pot committed to call and the villain is bluffing so end up losing most of there chips.

It takes a long time to figure out different techniques against different players and how to play different scenarios but you will eventually get it. Variance in poker means people will get lucky no matter what and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it that's just poker. All i would suggest is that you post up some hands in the poker clinic and people on this forum can help you on how you are playing these hands and make you a better player for it.

Also if you lost £15 in 4 hours then you playing too high a level and should only really be playing max 5-10% of your bankroll which is £1.50 per game and with a roll that low i would stick to the 60p games until you can build it up because your going to go bust if thats all you are starting with, if you can load up £30 or more that would be a better start. DYM games are a good start also but read up on how to play them as there a bit diffent to sit n goes and personaly sit n goes were all i played and i never really got anywhere with them, not because i played bad but varience really does affect you on them especialy the turbo or scary as blinds go up quick and people shove with any 2 cards so there hard to beat and make a decent profit in the long run imo.

You said you raised 3700 and you had a caller utg and depending on what the blinds were and seeing the hand its hards to say why they did it can you post it on here?

GL and keep at it
