In poker there are hands, duels that end or are summed up in luck as in my case, I think that in poker luck is infinite, since you can be winning with a pair of aces and then end up losing to a trio of two, this is an example of shocking victories where, to put it bluntly, they beat you with nothing.

It's part of the game, it's called variance.

Ball forward, if you're playing correctly, you'll be a winner in the long run.

That's the beauty of poker you can have the best possible hand pre flop but after a bad flop torn and river your hand can be the worst of all. The lucky coin can land on your side or on your opponent's.

I, personally, love shocking victories. Mainly when I win them but I can understand the beat, usually, when it happens. I think I've only made a one-outter on the river 2 or 3 times. One was for a straight-flush; :p.
It's just another part of poker that's bitter-sweet. Viva la river!

This is part of the game and it happens all the time. Maybe it's those shocking victories that makes poker so interesting for new players. You'll always have a chance of winning even if you don't know how to play very well.

The more shocking the victory, the sweeter it is.
