Many people say an online site is not good with the bad beats or so but i have noticed that they are all like that even in real poker you get bad beats. Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are not. Hope we are lucky to make some good money.

That is true, both online and live we have bad beats. The only thing that I do believe to be true, due to personal experience, is that online, the amount of bad beats is much greater. This is simply because you play many more hands online and in a very short amount of time, so statistically it seems logical that this would happen. But anyway, good to hear from you and yes, hope you make some money too!

oh thats what poker is all about the bad beats, but i think people refer more to the amount of times that it happens.. there was a thread a long ways back that a guy (sorry i forget who) documented how many times he got AA and how many times he won with it and compared it to different sites and the average % chance of winning with it and so on...

Ithink the reason people say there are so many bad beats online is cause they dont remember all the times they won with AA just the time they lost with it to 7 8 off suit and thats what they tell people , not the fact that 5 hands earlier you won a huge pot with the same hand if you know what i mean? I think that with the amount of hands played online compared to live your bound to experience and come accross more bad beats, thats just my opinion anyway.
