beeen playing there on off a while now and my conclusion is that bad beat doesent exist and a tilting player is the web site taking you for your money, in last 100 hands have had a possible 5 wins IF YOU WANNA PLAY 10-2 OFF FOR A PAIR OF "2S" OR j6 for a j on river, as of now i will not be involved with 888.com and will say if you want to give yopur money away, GO FOR IT !!!!!!!!!!
Guess not much has changed there. Had built up a nice bankroll there from a NDB only to lose it on a wicked downswing. Happy it happened right then bcause I was just about to deposit. Never went back.

The funny thing is, whilst some of these posts WOULD stem from genuine downswings - I would be willing to bet the VAST majority just stem from bad play and lack of bankroll management.

All this bad beats happend on cash games or tournaments or sit and gos? I personally don't have an account on 888poker but many friends do and they say that on NL10 it's a very profitable site, compared to other bigger poker platforms like full tilt poker or pokerstars. Since i don't have a first hand experience with the platform i must believe you but on many platforms you get this type of bad beats, it's true that on some of them you get a lot more than on other but still the majority of players say they get them on pokerstras, i tend to agree since same happend to me, so i no longer play at pokerstars. My bankroll is at full tilt poker, and yes you still get bad beats but way less compared to pokerstars. Maybe i might try 888poker but after the bad publicity, i think i'll leave this thought away for now.... On what poker platform you'll move now? You'll opt for abig platform like full tilt poker or you'll choose smaller platfors like merge network or cake network???

This is the whole point of bankroll management - s**t like this won't affect you because you'll always have loads of buyins left. If you gonna have a cry over runner runner trips/straights/flushes etc just give up now, seriously.
Posted by mandy1966: FULLTILT POKER WORST POKER SITE I EVER PLAYED .
I understand this as: Full tilt poker is the worst site mandy has ever played. While 888 is the worst pokersite ever. It is so bad, in mandys opinion (not mine), that she has actually never played there.

Totally agree used to play at pokerstars lots of bad beats finally stopped playing there and started to play at celebpoker, poker770 rarely get badbeats maybe once in a while.
