That's poker! Imagine how you would feel if one of the hands turned over was 23 clubs! Would you feel any better? Doubtful, but an even worse hand would have beaten you. Great hole cards are just that. Bad hole cards still have a probability chance of turning good and winning.
Thats why i started to play live poker tournys and league, i dont feal even a slight bad when i lose there i know its by my mistake and action as is reading of game and my opponents move and what he might have, and u never know what is one software capable of. I simply know i will never deposit to none online pokeroom again cause i seen so manny sceince fiction on those tables and in real is how u play is what u get. Just cant belive that someone on no pair pushes the chips like crazy and then at the river gets straight with holes and having the strongest hand doesnt help in those kind of setups. So sometimes i wish im the dumb player who got sereved by luck - but cant have bouth. Some have skill and some are just lucky. It will pass vic - just shake it off with something u like and all the best in future. Screw the luck!

I found the following post on another poker forum.
------------------------------------------------------------- "There are plenty of people who win for extended periods while the variance is running in their favour, putting them under the delusion that they are good poker players. I'm talking about the ones that get all their chips in the middle with A-J, A-10, K-Q, 5-5 etc, and relentlessly hit their 2 or 3 outer or their freak straight/flush against better players who are getting it in with A-A, K-K, Q-Q and A-K and being good enough to recognise when they should not continue with a second or third rate hand and rely on getting lucky!
The worse player can win for long periods of time, trust me, and sometimes decent players can get sick of being on the receiving end of it for what seems an un-natural length of time. Some people are cursed with dreadful luck, just as some are blessed with good, it's as simple as that. Yesterday I got my money in with A-A after a pre-flop raising war, and expecting to see kings, queens or A-K, the idiot eventually turns over 6-4 offsuit. Naturally the first two cards off the top are the 6 and the 4. I mean, it's just ridiculous how stupid and lucky some people are!" -------------------------------------------------------------

Yea i've seen the worst hand win so many times it's amazing. yesterday my AA got cracked by a guy hitting 4 ,s. this kind of crap happens on all poker sites. some people will say the site is fixed , but it happens. iseen a video that partypoker put on my facebook, 6 players were playing poker after dark, 5 players had pocket pairs and the last had AK, whats the odds of that happening.
,s. this kind of crap happens on all
