How meny of you are playing there? I just got bonus and start playing, but havent seen so meny bad beats nowhere else like today there. Some beats are very stranges. Just cant believe it. One example(this was the last one, when I lose it all my bonus):
** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to chrystynaP [ Jd Jc ] Mirahsilver folds chrystynaP raises [$1 USD] OMITE111 calls [$1 USD] AngleZero folds maran333 calls [$0.75 USD] ** Dealing Flop ** [ 4c, 8d, 2s ] maran333 checks chrystynaP bets [$1.47 USD] OMITE111 folds maran333 calls [$1.47 USD] ** Dealing Turn ** [ 3d ] maran333 will be using his time bank for this hand. maran333 bets [$2.25 USD] chrystynaP is all-In [$4.02 USD] maran333 calls [$1.77 USD] ** Dealing River ** [ 3h ] maran333 shows [ Ks, 3c ]three of a kind, Threes. chrystynaP doesn't show [ Jd, Jc ]two pairs, Jacks and Threes. maran333 wins $13.38 USD from the main pot with three of a kind, Threes.

I raised befor flop 3x big blind, K3 not suited calls, flop is 482, I had JJ and bets again 5x big blind, and he calls with nothing, not a flush draw, not a stright draw, nothing, even didnt have high card A. in turn he hits his 3 and bets then I went all in and he calls and hits his another 3 on the river.

PartyPoker is one of the biggest aquariums in the business. All variety of exotic fishes in huge number from all over the world except USA. So you can expect a lot of bad beats playing multiway huge pots, etc..., etc... But bad beats are the exception, not the rule, so expect nice winnings.
JJ beats K3o near 72% of the time. Your equity increases to 85% with that flop. And you still 88% favourite on the turn.
So imagine all you can profit playing lot of hands against a player like that.

i have played alot on partypoker and have to say my view on party is that they have less bad beats than i have witnesses on other sites. I would say party atleast to me has been one of the most fair site i have played on. Besides especially in limit, and especially on low level limits u have a lot of fishing going around. Just bad luck. Bad beats happens all the time. I am not saying that any other site isnt fair, but sometimes i wonder if they shouldnt tune up their randomgenerators. When quads keep popping up over and over again it doesnt seem like it is working properly.
------------ just a bad beat on party that i encountered. 50 dollars NL sitngo. First hand in the tournament. I raise 4 times bb in utg preflop with a s k s. Flop comes a d a h ten s. I check to trap and the caller on my preflporaise bets halfpottbet. I reraise him back, whereupon he rereraises me back, whereupon i rerereraise him all in. He calls with 8 3 diamonds!! I gather he felt pottcomitted at that point.. but still... and then the turn and river comes two diamonds. Still so i really believe party is on of the fairest sites with less bad beats i have played on.

yea right - been there done that...person calls with absolutely nothing and for some unknown reason they luck out....seems to be more prevalent when you are playing with their money....for eg:
last $10 the other day....get dealt A-A - two callers last one goes all in...i have to call as does the other player...3 man pot for around $30...other player shows K-K ..other 9-9...don't need to tell you what happened...and please don't give me percentages....regular % of me winning that hand approcimately 85% - my percentages which seem to be different would be around 50%
like filling out a flush - odds of my opponents doing it 1 in 2....odds of me hitting it 1 in 200

If you feel so strongly that Party Poker has a tendency to favourise bad beats perhaps you should find another room.
I don't like Party Poker myself, not the worst site, but definitly not the best either.
I also believe they are taking higher rake at small stakes than any other pokersite I have played on.
5,50 dollar SNG = 6 dollar on Party
(just an example) - Anything lower is also "overraked" - I guess in order to please players at higher stakes they make low stakes players pay a little extra.
In away I can understand it, but not a principle I like.

You could not do nothing there, you were either playing against a real donk or playing against someone who wanted to make a big bluff but indeed got lucky with runner runner...

This one was just one example
mate. wtf do you expect playing at those stakes ?? LMAO
nothing strange at all about the hand you posted, you went all-in with a pair of J's on turn and got beaten by trips on the river, so fkn what ??? he coulda hit K on river and smashed you too
Easy to get beaten with JJ, easy to get beaten with pocket pair, even AA, if you don't hit your set, maybe avoid going all-in post-flop eh ???

Can;t be bothered checking this, but I'm pretty sure that AA vs KK vs 99 is NOT 85% fav to win.. check it out
