is it just me or does anyone else notice getting beat by miracle rivers happpens online more than at a real table? Some times i think they somehow reversed all the odds of cards coming to get people to bet more so they can rake more. Is it just me?

I dont know what is going on but I have been getting great cards while playing and somehow lately I always get beat by someone who stayed in on a 23 or something like that, and I have it until the river and whammo lose it all.

The internet is full of bad players you have to expect more suck outs like that when playing at low limits online.

They aren't. Too much to lose, but I'm not going to start another thread like the last one that happened on this topic.

You play a lot more hands online with a lot less skilled players and you will see a lot more suck outs.

That's poker, and that's why they call it gambling.

In the famous word's of Phil Hellmuth, "If it weren't for luck, I guess I'd win all of the hands."

The nature of online poker. Play Money Low Limit games are full of suckouts. I have never played in big money games or even $0.50/$1.00 for that matter. But, I have seen terrible play up to the 5/10 level. Although only once. Just can't remember the site.

Have to face the cold hard truth. If you got AA and 7 people call you. Whether it's all in from you or someone else. You are very likely to get those Aces cracked. Even with only 2 people calling AA doesn't win every time.

Such is life and poker.
