I think about it too, expecially when i'm angry due to a bad beat but when i'm calm i realize that a bad hand still has chances to win hand a poker room deals thousend hands per minute and this makes everything possible.... Plus i'm watching National Heads up chapionship 2007 and noticing that bad beats exist in real poker too

IMO ....................................
Hold good card doesn't mean you will get the pot... It mean your have a high change to win than other guy (it's "change" not "sure" .
67 isn't a crap it a good card if it play in right time too. However if you play AK on flop KKQJJ and some one hold KQ your AK is crap It will make you all in and lose I hope I will get something like 7,2 then I will not move all in and it will not lose all of my bankroll and I will think "Oh! AK is crap it make me lose all of by money haha"
crap or not depend on situation and time not your holding card
sorry for bad english gramma not my native language
[I had hold good card and your crap card too sometime it good .. sometime bad ... but it's a life]

Yeah I think you're right, I loose now and then with mostercards against a 57 but I also win sometimes with for example a straight given to me by the river against AA. The only differnce is I will never go all-in with cards like 67

Omg guys, pls not agains such a topic, which will lead in the final discussion if online poker is rigged, im quite sure you allready saw some poker on tv. There you saw the winning chances of each hands of the player. The weaker hands also win, but that doesnt make the dealer "rigged" Next time post a new topic when u won with the better cards

when you have AK against 67 or 54 you have 65%/35% situation and it the opponent wins 1 out of 3 in long run so those situations compares to poker..just learn to live for it and keep winning
Losing with monsters is part of the game. Calling stations do get lucky at times and those are the hands we remember most. But AA, KK, Aks always win in the long run. Get yourself a program that keeps track of your hands and you will see just how profitable those hands are in the "long run". Our job is to manipulate their weaknesses and laff all the way to the bank. These players do not understand odds, outs or bankroll management. They are hobby players. There here to have fun. They do defy the odds at times.

I think it all depends on how you play, if you get the monster you should be making the crap fold, but this is not always the case, so you must find who will call with crap and play aware, it seams to me that there is a lot of players who make daft raises with big hands allowing ppl to see a flop, if then you get "donked" its your own fault, but i will say yes to SS getting favour on bad hands
I don´t think pokerrooms have any advantage by supporting the weakest hand. But it´s all about probabilities, as long as your win chances are not 100%, you can lose the hand. That´s poker. Why do you think that going all in pre flop is called ´coinflip´ most of the times??
If nobody made mistakes you wouldn´t win a single penny and the bad players won´t return. They only return for the chance on winning again after their previous suckout.
