Posted by doomdy: Bad beats happen its annoying but just poker. When gettin 4/5 bad beats in short time it hurts. Try to stop some time, clear the mind and come back stronger
What does everyone think I does. I take a break I come back its worse. I am sick of hearing this same garbage if the stuff wasn't rigged in some way there is no possible way I could make the number of correct decisions I do and still be a losing player. I mean come on if your money is in ahead 85-90% of the time how can you continue to lose 90% of those hands. Just my opinion.

Yea I just had Ks runner runner raped by Q7 because the guy couldn't fold his backdoor flush draw on the flop. He didn't even hit the flush he hit running 7 Q. Unreal FullTilt has got to be the dodgiest poker site I have ever played. I mean theres no way to play smart.

Wow
You should contact Sklansky. This guy owns you a lot of his bucks. Did your opponents always play this way? This call is simply unbelievable. If i notice one opponent is running really hot, i usually stay out of his way. You can't beat the luckboxes in this game.

Ouch thats bad :| I had also very many horrible bets, I got sucked out ALL the time, and really I mean ALL Well I played this 10$ sit and go, so I would win back what I lose (I know its horrible strategy ) But then something happend, my luck totally changed, I had none bad beats and I won that one. Now I happily quit for the day losing only 20$ instead of 60$ I think frustration is the worst thing that can happen to poker player

Posted by doomdy: There comes a time when you became very rich paul, cos when money in all the time with best hand it means you play good and your reads are good
I hope next week you earn lots of bucks paul
I wish this was the case Doomdy. I am not on here at all trying to claim I am the best poker player around but I am a good player. My live game continues to get better and if there was any serious chances to advance locally I probably would (live in a small town, no casino so i play smaller tourneys around clubs). However, with no large oppurtunities I am left with online to try and either make money or qualify for larger tourneys. Which is utterly hopeless because I can outplay these people but I simply cannot out luck them.

If you have nothing then bad luck on one site, ever thought of simply switching the pokerroom? As a canadian you are not so limited in your choice, as a player from the US would be.
Stars, Party all the big boys will accept canadians.
I have left Everest after they pulled the doomswitch on me.

paul, my last big downswing lasted almost 2 months and it also started on Full Tilt. Spread through all poker sites I played and finally left me with bits and pieces scattered around poker rooms. Maybe You should really stop playing completely for a few days or a week. At least switch to FL games other than HE. Oh and one more thing while you`re in this period. Try to avoid playing weekends, those weekend players can really make you tilt when they make calls under influence of who knows what. I know its hard to stop but we are not all saying to you to stop playing for no reason. GL and may the flops be with you.

If you can't handle the swings, don't play poker online.
Something that bothers me is all this blame on poker clients. Even if you are making a +EV decision pre-flop and put all your chips in it still doesn't say that you're going to win the next 50 hands. You can still get beaten and that's what we call downswing.
My tip for you is to try to take less coinflips and try to work on the players postflop.

Coinflips? I don't play alot of allin preflop hands unless I have high pockets and these get stomped by garbage. My worst beats come in places where I see flop and I am 60-80% or more to win hands. Don't come here trying to correct problems in my game with solutions that I already do and if this strategy has been a winning one for me in every other place I have played poker besides online where is the problem?

I've been having trouble lately at pokerstars, seems I can never win a coin flip and only way I win is if they hit and than I suck out or if I'm dominated preflop and suck out. I'll take a break and get a fresh start tomorrow, usually works.

Sometimes playing perfect is not the best way. That is why we play poker not to be perfect but to play to your situations. You have to be adaptable. If you are not winning with good hands play a bad hand now and again. It may not be the logical play but sometimes things go against the odds. Sorry about your bad luck, hope it turns around soon.

THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT? HOW DUMB ARE PEOPLE? HOW BAD DO YOU HAVE TO PLAY ONLINE TO WIN?
As CRUSHED ON THE RIVER BY 910OFF CALLING 500 PREFLOP AND THE REST OF YOUR CHIPS ON THE FLOP WITH NOTHING AND HIT RUNNER RUNNER STRAIGHT CARDS 3K ON THE FLOP.
K10 FLOP 2 PAIR FROM THE BB AND GET CRUSHED RUNNER RUNNER BY A2 WHEN U HIT NOTHING ON THE FLOP.
ONLINE POKER AND THESE DONKS CAN SUCK MY ****. I AM SO SICK OF THIS BULL. HOW THE HELL CAN ANYONE WIN IN A RIGGED GAME?
If you are having a rough time tilting, go to free-poker-bankrolls.com and they will help you with bankroll management, and they will give you free bankrolls to start over again.
I built my bankroll with patience and this is what I get grrrr
