I take 5th in a freeroll tourney for $15 and I sit down at the tables trying to grind it up and I swear no matter what hand I get dealt I get beat. KK guy calls with 5 8s and gets there with a flush, AQs catch 3 of a kind lose to a straight, that is just 2 of about 50 hands in a row that I got beat when someone called my raise with a worse hand. I realize that bad beats are part of the game but it happens to me consistently on ACR. I can post my entire hand history and you will see that it is not a normal balance. And this happens everytime i try to play on ACR and build a bankroll. It is not just this time or selective memory, I have almost never got in a hand with worse and won on ACR. Is this just me? I am not crazy and I am welll aware of variance and bad beats, slective memory, etc this is not the case. I really can not win a hand on ACR ever i swear

It happends. I've run into the same "strings of luck" in both live/online play...part of the fun of playing cards.

Social- this sounds like my history on ACR as well. I love the platform and really enjoy the set up and the speed and really everything about it but...........I think I have sucked out less than a dozen times in the 4+ months ive been there. But i get sucked out on a dozen times daily minimum.

My reasoning for this disparity is that im likely playing good poker and im very rarely behind when getting it in which, as a admitted amateur/newb, I believe exactly how you want poker to work.

The flips dont bother me and I dont even consider those suck outs. Like my pocket 10s or pocket jacks vs AQ or AK suited. I expect to lose 40 to 50% of those. I rarely am all in with those hands early in the hand unless late in a tourny or low stacked in a tourny. The problem is and sounds like the same one you have is being in a dominate position like 70% or even 91% hands you are favorite when the cards turn over......even more so when there is only a turn river or just the river to go.......only to keep seeing those miracles land.

Today alone AK vs K9 neither suited. King hits the Flop, opponent jams, I jam, river 9 I lose. Only 3 cards in the deck he can hit and of course bingo.

King queen suited small blind no pre flop raisers. I 4x the BB to show them im not stealing, they call. Flop comes king 8 2, We play see who can raise more until both are all in. No joke villain has 8 3 suited but no color help on the board. So he calls my 4x with 83 and hits an 8 with horrible kicker and decides this is worthy of all his chips. I knew for certain I was beat before the turn or river ever came because I lose these hands constantly. Catches the 3 on the river I lose.

Got in another hand that I limped into with King 10 suited from the big blind. I would have raised here with 3 limpers but 2 of them were doing the all with anything every other hand dance and I didnt want to do that with king 10 suited vs possible 2 opponents. Flop comes King queen jack with 2 spades. 1 heart on the board gave me pair of kings with 10 kicker with open ended strait draw and a 2 card needed king high flush draw. An obviously good flop for me with 3 limpers. Checks around to me. I 2/3 pot bet, everyone calls, and I knew no matter what the next card was that I was folding. Turn came 3 no spade, first position bets 1/2 pot, 2 callers, i fold. Next card comes 3 of spades and I was happy as a clam to let me king go knowing this was yet another set up hand where everyone was given action. One person hits ace high flush, another has a weak flush dont remember the cards, but it was the king 3 that hits the full boat to win.

Being able to lay those hands down is not easy for me even with the massive open ender draw. But after losing them constantly, and knowing my opponents are going to be given chase hands almost every flop it was easy to get out.

Goodluck out there.

Hello I'll try to help you with my experience. This just happens, but I believe that is not normal.
Same things happens to me early on full tilt, and not so long ago on pokerstars, and it was just few days after I made the bigest whitdraw ever on my acount.
After that nothing was the same, I think I lose maybe 100 hands in a row, ofcourse stronger hands preflop or on flop in more than 80% cases.
Later everything backs in a normal, but about a month I was unable to win a single hand. My advice to you is to handle, and after some time you will be winning again.
