Poker professionals - How they avoid bad beats

Professional poker players are not immune from getting bad beats. Every player has to face bad beats one time or the other. Bad beats is the one that makes the game of poker to seize the attention of most of the players. Let us first define the word Bad beat. Bad beats are nothing but losing the game being the most favorite till the end. In other words a player having the nuts in hand loses to the opponent in the “river” round. For instance pocket aces losing to pocket aces for a third king on the river.

Mike Caro’s book on poker tells has explained the way to tackle bad beats. He just said that if you are repeatedly getting bad beats. This sounds weird but once you think backwards you will get the real meaning of it. Bad beat indirectly means that you were the favorite till the end. If you have become the favorite then you are playing a proper poker game. Many good strategies and tips like these are provided in Caro’s book of poker tells. So, I suggest all the players especially the newbies to read this book and improve their playing skills.
