Doesn't matter what I have online I cannot win. Just busted out of another tourney with pocket Ks against an under pair.
I am absolutely sick of having my money in pots that I am a 4:1 favorite and losing because someone cannot get it in their mind that when you get reraised 2 times preflop that pocket 4s may not be good.
Would be nice if people would go learn to play or if online pokerrooms would add some semblence of realism to their games.

That's hilarious I keep hearing that everytime I complain about nothing holding up and it's not true. I am rarely on the good side of online poker results and when I am they usually end up being so small that they never matter in the larger scheme of things.
It's very easy to say you win in the long run when you win occasionally.

Posted by globen: You must learn to win and loose and all the others players count even they u call bad I have seen pros also play with all diffrent cards
Well since I started playing online I have had plenty of practise losing. I am not mad about losing it's just the manner in which I lose all the time. I always have the right reads and normally get my money in miles ahead of the other person but my hands do not hold up. It's absolutely insane how many times I can lose playing online with overpairs against 2 outers.

Same here, i just can't win, when im in a big tournament i get KK first hand and lose against a ******** who has 3-4, on a 42J board.He pushes allin and exactly another 4 comes out..And i hate the "that's poker" thing so badly, "that's online poker" you mean and that's rigged to the bone.I know people gonna react like that's not true, open your eyes!

It's nice to see someone who knows that online poker is completely ridiculous and nothing like an actual poker game.
I hate 'that's poker' too. That phrase is exactly what's wrong with poker players online. That is poker but it supposed to be poker only 20% of the time like the math says not every time.
And for scl if you call out of the blinds with the raise that should be in preflop facing Ks or As with garbage that's a donkey call anyways.

Posted by aissou: i know what is this frustration i think cant win too with small stacks
all time fish with 50 $ at tables call all raise if u have just 5 or 10 $ u can loose AK VS K2 BEACAUSE LOT OF FISHES
I HATE THAT GRRRR
Yeah this is soooo true, It seems that the player with the most money in the pocket always is in advantage, because players with less money play a bit more reserved. And when I start to think " He can't have a good hand everytime" and calling they mostly have a good hand Is there a way to play against people with lot's of money or should I just don't pay attention to it ?

i had a talk with a buddy a few days ago. he asked me why i play so much less NL Holdem then i did before. guess what my answer was... (its just too annoying)
since i play more limit cashgames and reduced the NL Holdem to SnGs and Tournaments mainly i am much more of a winning player
but be warned: limit plays a bit different then NL!

Yes limit is very diffrent, if you cant do the math and play good you will lose, not much left to luck in limit games, that might be your game paul, i dont know why ppl get upset about bad players, if you are good you will win (in the long run!!), BRM allows you to take the bad,your maby more coustem to real games, but you will have to adapt to be a winner on line, the math will pay (or you could be just unlucky)

Posted by doomdy: Poker is not rigged thats just a story. Bad beats happen we all been there, but also lucky streaks we all got them
Anyone at all notice just about every thread I start is because I got fished out on by some idiot with horrible cards. I am sick and tired of waiting for this lucky streak everyone talks about and if online poker is representative of real poker how is it possible for me to get my money in ahead 90% of the time, and I don't mean in coin toss situations, and lose 90% of those pots?
Doesn't make sense. For all these people telling me the math works and it wins: WHERE? Can't be online I have never mathematically in the last 2 months made the right call and been rewarded for it so how can any of you tell me that the math works online?

When i just started i had also really bad beats damn, but for now not anymore, not so much i mean. When playing sit n go's you can watch your stack goes down but in the end your can also finishing in the money. Go play sit n go's paul maybe this suits you better, in first half hour just wait for AA KK QQ to make big raise, Be carefull wih JJ AK AQ TT. If this cards dont show up no problem you can still finish in the money. And try to multitable 3/4 at once its less frustrating and less boring.

No it isn't more fun to multitable. Then I get to see bust in 4 different games with the same ******* garbage I get in single table play. I do play SnG's but I do not find that people play any better or that my cards hold up more.
This also cannot be explained as just starting I have been playing online for awhile and I have always noticed that no matter how well I play there is always 1 hand against 1 person with more chips that I get sucked out on when I am 1 card away from a double up and BUST I COULD STOMP MY MONITOR INTO THE FLOOR!!!!!!
