The main reasons for the loss

According to statistics, most often players lose:

• make frequent bets with bad cards ("empty hands");
• too often play with any cards;
• rashly raise rates with "good hands".

In the first case, everything is clear: to hope that all participants will mindlessly raise their rates and pass, not having solved your bluff, is very naive. So do not rely on luck, learn to count cards and possible victorious combinations against every possible number of players.

In the second variant, the cause of the loss, rathertotal, will become fatigue. There are players who spend more than 8 hours at the table. It is clear that gradually pressing the "Call" button for them becomes easier than analyzing the state of the game at this stage. Therefore, the advice is this: keep playing until you can adequately track all the subtleties of the layout and leave the table at the first signs of fatigue.

The third option is related to the lack of patience withplayer, and all the masters recommend to develop exactly the consistency and slowness in the game. Example: you have two kings and after the next flop an ace comes to you; you start raising the bet, and it is supported by three players; there is a high probability that one of them also has an ace, but you can not pay attention to this and too hastily increase the stake at stake. As a result, you completely unexpectedly for yourself will be defeated.

To win tournaments, it is important to improve your skills, and then, perhaps, you will be given access to a big win.
