Can anyone tell me a site where the best hand holds up?

It seems like every time I download a site I win for about a week or two, then the wheels come pff. My good hands hold up about 30 percent of the time. After the first couple of weeks I am getting outdrawn time after time.

Is there a site where the best hand holds up more ofter than not?

Thanks for the help

No, there are none. Online poker is rigged. So is CardsChat. In a couple weeks, only 30% of your posts will remain after you submit them.

Seriously, this isn't a site by site issue. Take a closer look at how your play evolves as you are getting more comfortable on a site. I'm willing to bet that your play is tending to loosen up and you are likely playing hands you shouldn't be from out of position or such.

Try posting some in the hand analysis section and maybe we can work with you to figure it out.

Thanks for the help

The probability of your cards holding up has nothing to do with how long it's been since you deposited at any reputable poker site. It's all in your head man!

I don't think my play is changing. I play tight always. The same thing happens with my friends. Take paradise for example, when I/ we first started playing over there we all said the best hand seems to hold up more often there than others we've played. A couple of weeks later it seems the best hand hardly ever holds up. I'm not talking about me winning, I am merely talking about the best hand. So, weather I loosen up or not, when someone goes in with the best hand they get outdrawn.

I guess the kicker was about a week ago when a guy reraised me all in with 5 2 off suit and beat my pocket Aces with two pair.

Maybe I'm just bitter, but it seems to be happening to my friends also.

Take a closer look at your hand histories, bet you'll be surprised if you do a deep dive analysis.

Fluctuations in random number generation. Sorry you've seen so much of it, but it ISN'T related to your deposits. This is poker and the deal of the cards is in fact random.

Can't comment on this, there isn't enough info. Did he check his option in the BB in an unraised pot then get lucky on the flop? Whatever the case, he didn't out draw you because you failed to deposit cash before playing.

If there were no suckouts or bad beats in poker then what poker game would be worth playing. - Phil Gordon.

If everything went by the cards then no one could ever win at poker.

He put me all in preflop. I raised to 1200 one spot short of the button(blinds were 200/400), he,in the small blind, reraised all in for my last 4200. I called of course and he hit a 2 on the flop and a 5 on the river. How is that NOT getting out drawn?

You didn't read the entire sentence I wrote. What I wrote was "...he didn't out draw you because you failed to deposit cash before playing". You completely ignored half of the sentence. Based on how you've now chosen to explain it, yes he did out draw you. HOWEVER, it wasn't because you failed to deposit cash before playing. It was simply bad luck.

But JD, I thought we just established that he had pocket aces all-in pre-flop against 52. Of course he got drawn out.

Silly boy.

When you say "30 percent of the time," how do you come up with that number?

Why not just play bad hands and hope they have AA?

Cold streaks are just the reality of poker you just have to deal with it. If you see it happening just take a break. When you come back if you still play bad because you think your pocket aces will be cracked take a longer break. Most of this problem is just in your head. This happend to me many times untill I figured out it was me not the site. Sure it might seem like its the sites fault but its you. One thing that might help is to take book on yourself. If you write down the stuff that happend to you and look at the hands play by play you will see that you played the hands wrong.
