I see that there are many professionals and professional players here
I have not seen this river in live poker for 20 years
How funny for you to show that hand! Last week, in a live game, I had virtually that same thing happen to me!!! I was holding AK. The villain was holding K2 offsuit. The flop came out AA2. Turn was 2. River was..... yep.... you guessed it.... a 2.
Yes - these things happen live as well as online.
As for all the other discussions about differences between live and online - they are cosmetic and player interaction differences. The math is EXACTLY THE SAME. The cards do not change.

It's probably more perception than reality. Online you tend to see many more hands even playing only one table, seeing exponentially more with each additional table you play, so the 'bad beats' are effectively more frequent.

You need to deposit 1.000 $
When you loose money with many hands like this we can speak seriously
People here speak about freerols
I play usualy $11 or $33 tournaments
When you loose in every tournament with monster hand in river you need to ask youself what is wrong with game...
But when you play freeroll you can simple say that's game.....
Funny....

Look I'm going to say this as respectfully as possible. You just seem to have a bad outlook on life. I would suggest Mental game of poker 1 and 2 by Jared Tendler. It seems like one of your biggest leaks is your mental game. You make these assumptions like you know anything about me, what I play, or any help that I have tried to give you ever since YOU made a post asking questions to us. If you are up for having an adult conversation in which we debate our thoughts and differences with logic, and details explaining our thoughts then I would like that. If you are going to constantly send pictures of coolers that happen everywhere live and online to debate your arguments, then anything I tell you is just a waste of time because you refuse to consider it. You are taking your information from a small sample size from online poker that gets 4 times the amount of hands per hour so you will continue to see bad beat after bad beat WAY more than online because you see that many more hands. As to the size tournaments that I play I have been part of tournaments with as much as a $1500 buy in and Million dollar gurantees. I have final tabled a 20K Gtd. I was trying to help you understand why it is happening which is what I thought you wanted per your question.. but you obviously just want to troll I guess.........

I've found with online poker you lose the ability to read another player. Especially in the lower cost games or freerolls you have loose cannons playing hands that a professional would never call you on. I mean really who follows an all in call pre flop with 2 8 non suited. This makes it difficult to play good poker. It turns out into a game of chance more than a game of skill. I like 888 pokers little tags that you can attach to other players. After watching some you can mark them as sharks chickens bulls etc. Allows you to remember how they have played.

Student: "Professor, why is it hotter at the equator than the north and south poles"
Professor: "Great question. There are several factors at play. But one of the primary reasons is the sun is overhead the equator, while it is at a slant for the poles."
Student: "Lol what? I didn't ask you about the sun. Wow, what makes you even think you know anything. You just waste my time when you talk. The reason is obviously because the equator steals all of the heat from the poles. Lol what a waste."

For me just the same. Anything can happen either its online or live. I played two times live casino cash game, I played online just more than 6 months. On my 2 live cash game I flop many good hands, hitting some turn, missing some river, back door flush draw, bad river, I already flop a set but still loss to straight hitting his draw at the river. But I think playing live is better because you can study well your oppenent action, how they put the chips, how they look their cards, etc.

Looks like I'm gonna be playing live poker both these days as I'm an Australian citizen and don't really have a choice.
Kind of sucks seeing as I'm in a wheelchair and getting down to the casino is going to cost me way more than that the buy in of $60 .....

I completely agree on the un-realistic flops and HOLLYWOOD SCRIPTED rivers online!!! I'm not playing live lately (caught myself stuttering and lost my confidence) so I'm online until I get my nerve back!!
