Here are some the basic laws of low-limit hold'em.
1. You have no right to complain about someone playing with questionable hands or making questionable calls. When you're risking $3.00 in a hand or have entered a tournament for $5, you can't complain about suckouts and getting lucky. Why??? Because you're only risking $3, $5, $10 dollars on the entire hand.
The complaints are common, "No pro would ever play a hand like that." That's true, but then again no pro would ever play $.50/$1 limit hold'em either.
Also, I'm not risking my life savings, I'm risking chump change, so why not play a little loose at times.
2. Just because you go all-in with the best hand, that does not automatically make you the winner of the hand. Pocket Aces will lose 15% of the time to two random cards. So don't cry when you're Aces are broken, because you're the moron who risked everything on it without getting the proper odds to justify the bet.
It's just amazing how upset people get when someone sucks out on them.
The key to winning low limit poker is to exploit the weaknesses of bad players. If you get a guy all-in with bad cards, you are going to win in the long run, but he will get lucky on you. If you risk half your chips with Pocket Aces on a race, you have to understand that you will lose some of the time, but it was you're fault for going all in, instead of seeing a flop and seeing how strong your aces are at that point.
Example, if you have black pocket Aces and you see the flop and the board hits 3 diamonds. You're Aces are not looking good at the moment. Worse yet, if the board hits 7-8-9 of diamonds and your opponent has the 10 of diamonds, you're actually an underdog at this point because of his flush and straight draw.
You are gambling on races, so stop whining!!!!
