today is the 5th time on the ipoker network where ive lost a tremendous amount of money where im playing well but the ipoker gods continue to put river cards determined to get me beat.
played in a 100 sng event. the same player is beat three times and everytime on the river the ipoker gods saves him
played in a 50 dollar heads up event. again 4times either a backdoor flush x2, or miralce river 2 outs and bang.
played in a 50 super turbo event got beat with aces twice in the same tournament pre-flop all in calls.
this is the 5th time where ive lost a tremendous amount of money just by logging on and no matter what you do or how you play the cards. the ipoker gods will take everything from you.
with my remaining money i contacted support and told them that im going to throw some free money out there. went into the speed poker and just went all in every hand until i lost my remaining bankroll.
suicide yes but that is the consequence of one bad beat to many.

OUCH!!! There are days like that,....sometimes up to a week... No-where to go but up now...!
Actually,...by the title of your thread,...I thought there was some glitch that drained your account when you logged in,....or worse yet,....drained your REAL bank account...!!!
Maybe I'm just a luddite or something like that,...but all this electronic internet thing always makes me wonder...

Agree, maybe f uc 'ing program make us have chance until river !!! make us spent more money. I also HATE when lost by single CHANCE : RIVER. looks like poker is pure gambling, the skill is feeling not math involve

everyone gets periods of bad rivers....
also I am sure you will also had good rivers in the past (hands that you were way behind and won on the river) --> this also happens quite often but you ll not remember it as long as a real bad beat.
To bad you spoilt your leftover from your bankroll on playing bingo with speedpoker.
Better take a break next time ... as it will also happen at other pokerrooms

@magatt There are a few times i thought about that, but the truth is that if there wasnt a river then the turn would do its job. Its how things work. Either you have it or not

These events can happen. Maybe you should keep a record of them and then share your observations with greater detail so we can all perhaps do the same thing and see whether it is bad play, bad beats, bad luck or just the site ripping your money out of your hands!
