Be Ready To Gamble
There is a particular mindset that is necessary for a player to adopt when playing poker cash games. Whether it be online or live, there will be situations where you will have to throw all your money in even though you might be uncertain whether you might have the best hand or not. All this is part of poker and part of playing with cash games. When you sit down at the table, be ready to throw your entire buy in on the one hand. You might come up second best but it is necessary to do so if you thought you had the game winning hand.
Ultimately, by being ready to play your entire stack off, you will get hands where you come up in front and get paid off, sometimes you will not. But the root statement is that you will not be in the mindset of folding what might be the best hand just because your entire buy in may be at risk and you were not ready to play it all on the one hand.
So that you have the correct mindset, it is best to have at least three to four amounts of the minimum buy in of the particular table available. This is so that your session is not reliant on just the one hand. If you do happen to lose your initial buy in you can reload to have another shot at a winning hand. Look for the gamblers on the table and try to get your money in on hands that have an edge. If you do not have three to four amounts of the minimum buy in available then you are playing at the wrong limits and will need to move down to a lower limit. Playing where you fear losing your stack and do not have any extra ammunition is a recipe for losing all your chips.
