| It sucks but it does happen. There have been many people who think there is some sort of unfairness in online poker but nothing has really come up as credible. If you really think online poker is unfair, you should probably stop playing until you can convince yourself it isn't. Otherwise, it could negatively affect your play. |

| Streaks certainly do seem to run online. Of course Doyle Brunson thought those hot & cold runs were true at live tables as well. When I hit a streak of getting sucked out upon I have to either change sites, change games, or just leave for a few days. It helps my attitude to get away from feeling like I'm always gonna get screwed at the table. And attitude seems to actually be important while playing poker (I'm a math guy, so it does not seem obvious to me as to why). Good luck & try something different for a bit. Hope that helps. |

| I feel the same way...I always get donked by ace rag on the river ....But when I play A rag I lose...whats up with that? Maybe I put to much faith in my big PP like JJ QQ KK...I never slow play them I always raise at least 4 times the BB...maybe not enough to get an ace out...? |

| re: GETTIN DONKED poker It's part of the game, shit happens you live and learn. As for implying if online poker is Unfair=Rigged=Setup in any manner, I'd have to beg to differ on that because I've come to learn alot of ppl on this site that have nice BR's because of've online poker, and they don't seem to have these so called theories, they go through there ups and downs, and that's that, they live and learn from past mistakes and move on. Seems to me, we all need to move on |

| Don't be discouraged everyone gets donked when they play poker on the internet, especially better players. Sklanksy explains, " ' If you are an excellent player, people are going to draw out on you a lot more than you're going to draw out on them because they're simply going to have the worst hand against you alot more times than you have the worst hand against them.' . . . . [Expert poker players] figure they're getting the best of it, and leave lucky draws to their weaker opponents." The Theory of Poker, Sklansky, at pages 1-2. |

| lol, the other day, i had aces to start with. im in a tourney, have half the guys chips, so i raise 3x big blind, he goes all in. he has KJ of clubs. youll never guess what the flop was? ATQ of clubs, the donk flopped a royal flush as I make my set of aces. and it gets worse lol, the turn is another king. I have an ace high fullhouse and i lose, how sick. |

| re: GETTIN DONKED poker Everyone gets beaten now and then. Sometimes for a couple of weeks in a row. However, if you feel that the game is too random, try play with a little higher stakes, cause if you play with really low stakes people play extremely unpredictable - of course you will win in the long-run according to the maths, but that might take a very long while. |
