do you guys feel that there is one site that more people get lucky on than any others. Im having trouble with alot of awful players getting lucky on the dreaded "7-2" constantly on NoblePoker.

LOL.. yep I know the feeling about people getting lucky in general just not with a 7-2 though. But let me guess those ones with 7-2 are in the BB and nobody raised so they got the option to check.

I can't say I have noticed anything strange from one site over any other.

I have played a lot on noble last 2 months as well clearing the deposit bonus.

not really

I play a fair amount on noble, and the number of "getting lucky" players seems about the same as the other sites I play at.

I've had a player call my all-in with a 7-2 off suit, when I had pocket aces, and win. I don't think this happens more often on any site though, I think it's just a bad play that ends up getting lucky.

I find that the cards run very wierd on pokerstars. I get rivered there more often than other sites and pocket pairs seem to appear in batches. It's common to have a hand where 3-4 people all have pocket pairs.

I think the worst flops and bad beats I have seen seem to be at Brunsons room. It always seem to throw out a lot of hi cards, and I have seen more 4 of kinds there in tournaments than it seems I do on any others.


just my 2 cents worth,

I'm sorry to say that i think it is probably an internet wide phenomenon as far as I can tell

Actually I think the problem lies in the fact that sometimes u get on a table where everyone is chasing hands and if five ppl are chasing one is bound to catch pretty often

The fact is there are bad players everywhere. The more hands you play the more crap you see that is just the gaining of expirence.

I am a member of several poker rooms. Sad to say it seems to happen about the same every where. I don't play Holdem live except in a dealers choice home game. Lucky if it is played once in a while. But, I don't ever see the suckouts in live play that happen on the internet. Well not never. But, not near as much in Internet Poker.

AA actually is a good hand in Live Poker. :D

I havent played a lot on noble, but from what i've seen at other sites it seems to go in streaks for a while your good hands will win, then all of a sudden u get rivered 5 times in a row.

I think that it definitely happens every where, but its different when stakes are free or low because people chase everything, so even if you have a great hand, five people chasing have a good shot, especially with straights.

Let them play crap hands. The more they play it the more you'll win in the long run. If table is extremely loose just play tight and wait fro monster hands and put people all-in. Works for freerolls too.
