Its important to lose

sometimes chasin a backdoor flush or straight when on a rush is the right thing to do, but we all know how few rushes we go on and how long it lasts. with that said you need to change up your game from time to time to throw off your opp.

Losing makes winning feel better. Important point is how and when you lose. Did you lose because you had the worst hand Preflop and continued with it to the river. Are you the guy I beat with A- K and you have A - 4 and complain. If you are the guy with the inferior kicker than you are losing for the wrong reason.

As if there could ever be a good reason to lose. The right time to lose is when other players are not calling your raises. You raise they all fold, you make less money. Occasionallly losing will help you get called and hopefully reraised when it counts.

Losing to backdoor draws is just fine don't feel bad. It's not like you could see it coming. Losing to superior kickers is just plain stupid and you have a personal problem.

I'm new as well, and it not important to lose, but is important to watch and remember people lsoing. That way you know what beats what

I understand your message fonze, and I absolutely agree. The only way to improve is to see more hands, the more you see, the more you're going to lose. The more horrendous beats you experience the more versed, the more deft you become in situations.

Without loss improvement would be impossible.
