Comparing online poker to live games

what's up everyone why is it that on the online sites it always seems that i get sucked out on, every time i have a good hand and in live games it usually happens the way it should with the 95% chance winning the hand. It gets really frustrating when 8 out of 10 times the 5% dog wins the hand. its also frustrating when everyone congratulates the suck out like he/she did something well. i have allot more to say about this subject so post some replies.

what limits are you playing and cash or tourney?

lower limit games cannot be compared to live games in my opinion. and the style of play is always going to be different when its not face to face.

i agree and disagree because ok on online poker i does seem like you get sucked out and bad beaten quit often but if its in a torney or tables you play more hands on online poker and with live games its much slower and you dont see so many hands as you do on oline poker.it is good when its on the other foot and you suck out and win but the other way you feel so mad and annoyed but its the hole part of the fun and excitment of the game

good point woody, online players see a great deal more hands. therefore will see more suck outs, it is indeed a part of the game,

i dont think there can be a percentage however placed on such suck outs because it is down to the level of play and how well the hand was played for there to be any accurate number for how often you will face a bad beat.

why would you change you style of play?????i mean if you only see less than 20% of your flops live...why would you call in more online.....just because you get dealt more hands an hour online doesnt mean you are obligated to play more.....just doesnt make sense to me...

I feel...

your frustration. However online vs brick and mortar. The game is the same and doesn't change because of where its being played. Statisitic sometime lie. Probabilties don't always win.

yes, they do happen that is why you have to improve your understanding of poker and learn to minimize the effects of a suck out on you chip stack .

ok i know you see more hands and i know percentages dont always win but just now i got busted out of a 100-dollar tournament in about 2 big blinds i played 3 hand AA AK-suited QQ the QQ lost to 55 pulled a 4-card straight 8 high before the flop i raised 4 times the big blind flop comes 10 8 6 then i push him all in he calls then 7----4 took half my chips a couple hands later i get A K clubs again 4-times big blind get a call from the big blind flop comes Ad 9c 3c i go in for all my chips he calls and had 400 more chips then Q------Q no clubs im busted thats not cool thats sick. also it doesn't matter what limits you play theres allot of donks who have money like Jamie Gold

Check a thread on rigged poker sites lol Its all fixed and set up all the way
BTW same things happen live, I once had my AA beaten by KQ offsuit, my opponent made a flush with 4 hearts on the board. So these extreme bad beats happens in both live and online, also to your favor and to your opponent's favor. Just be prepared and don't take it personally.
