Just bad luck mate. There's no way they can give you any more bad beats than anyone else. But when you lose one hand the chances of losing the next are exactly the same. So you have just as much chance losing every hand by the river as losing every other hand by the river. With the number of people playing poker online it stands to reason at least one person will get extremely unlucky.
WHy not give us examples of hands, how they worked out.
Perhaps its something you are doing wrong, or it could be genuinely bad luck.
If you can give us how the hands developed perhaps we can give you some insight into how maybe you could save losing money..

Posted by nixchipsuk: that appears to be me an 'Unlucky mate'.
I have blown nearly all my free money and only been on for about 3 days.
I have been playing poker for a while now and understand thevariance, but this site is really bad for me.
What stakes are you playing at ?
You get $40 so realistically the most you should be investing at the felts at any one time is around $2 maximum..
I get the impression you are playing above your bankroll and though I could be wrong, the jist of the thread suggests perhaps you are overvaluing your starting hands and perhaps should be laying down marginal hands more..
