Loosing to much all the time?

[Fillero]

Do you feel you are loosing to much? Need to reset back to 1000 often?
And when you do win some chips, you loose them straight away?

Here's the solution:

1. Learn to fold:
I know it can be hard sometimes, but if you are sitting with a pocket pair of 10's and the flop is 8-K-A and someone bets, unless you are the chip leader and doesnt loose so much by calling, you should fold!
The chance of getting another 10 is very slim and the possibility that some of the other players have a higher pair is high. I've played for a while now and have won lots of chips by players who has the lower pair at the table and has gone all in with pair of fours.

2. Dont risk it!
There is another way I have won a lot of chips too. People tend to call a lot even though they have absolutly nothing! Here's an example;
I got K,J in my hand and the flop turns out to be J-K-7.
I bet a deasent amount of money and the other player calls.
Next card is an 8, the guy im playing about has 6-5 so he has now an open straight draw. I bet an even higher amount then last time and sadly, he calls.
Next card is 6, so he has pair of six. He checks and now its my turn, i go all in and he calls. He looses all his chips and all he had was a pair of 6's.
Note: the only time i call even though I dont have anything is if I know the guy im playing againt bluffs a lot (look at point 3) or I have an open straight and flush draw!

3. Focus on your enemies!
Spend a lot of time looking how the other persons are playing, are the agressive, do they bet a lot? Have you seen them bluff a lot or does he/she always seem to have good card when he/she calls?
This can mean a lot when you go heads up with someone, as an exempel; I was at the high rollers torney earlier today and there was this guy that I had played with before a lot and I knew he bluffed a lot, or betted a lot with really bad cards, so I was up against him 1 vs 1 and I went all in on bad pair, like 9's or something dont remember. And I won, only cuz I knew how he was playing.
So take time and learn your opponents strategies, it could be the thing that makes you a winner!

4. Play smart
Lets say you hit a flush on the flop! First thing you gotta see is how big your flush is, If you have one of top cards, A-K, you should NOT bet here.
You should lure the other players by checking (often a sign that you have nada) and hope another card of your suit comes up which will probebly make some other guys get a flush and when they bet, you raise and win because you have the higher of all flushes.

Thats all I can think of right now, try this and if it doesnt work I guess you are having really bad luck ( or my tips did not help)
Sorry if i spelled wrong sometimes, too lazy to read it through lol.
