poker star cash game

How come is it if you raise pre flop and get one caller, if you miss the flop, the opponent hasn't, and will call all the way to the river with bottom pair?

If you get all in after a flop with top pair and get called with top pair worse kicker, you end up chopping the pot (lose money to rake).

I swear this is happening all the time. I think it's rigged. I'm fumin

and that cardex thing where you collect cards from winning hands. spend 2 hours at the table and bust at least one time. finally get the reveal. bloody 20 pennies. f-ing tight sods. why do i bother. I should remove, all my bucks. what you say?

I remember the times I thought online poker was rigged.. Good times.. Simple times

The way the human brain works is that it remembers the bad things best, and so it seems to us that this happens all the time. Play 100k hands and analyze how many badbits you have. You will be surprised.

The more important question to ask is, why do you try to bluff a calling station? Its not like, either he or the poker site forced you to continue betting

The cardex and every other challenge or bonus should be seen as extra rakeback, you shouldn't deviate from your usual poker strategy to complete it.
I personally won't be 3betting low Ax suited hands and start 3bettting the cardex hands as a way to keep a balanced range but also complete the challenge.

Regarding cardex I got the same 20ct and didn't bother completing after. PS isn't known for its generous rakeback :/

Bad days happen to everyone. But you can change the structure of your game and take fewer risks. If the opponent caught even a weak pair on the flop, after your 3 bet preflop and makes a call on all the streets, then he believes that he is ahead.
