Of course this happens to everyone. It actually happens a lot. It's like one of those "It never fails..." scenarios, like it always rains as soon as you wash your car. It never fails that every time you are dealt A-A in the BB you always get a walk.

This has happened to me in both live and online poker. It feels as if all of the other players at the table have a 6th sense of what your hole cards are. Obviously this isn't true but I believe this phenomenon exists because its just simply part of the game. I think this is one of the things that can lead you to tilt if you aren't getting enough action with your over pairs. That's why there is so much information about tilt, and how to avoid it, out there today because people have actually identified the feelings and altered perceptions that come along with tilt. Some of the best poker players have taken on meditation because it promotes mindfulness which allows you to examine your thoughts from a 3rd party perspective. No one is out to get you and no one can read your mind. If you have become exploitable it is your own fault.

More than once. The best reaction is "next hand".
Related to that is many times I fold rags only to have them turn out to have beaten all in a large multi pot.
The math always evens out. If I start playing rags I will lose more often than I win with them.
That's the nature of variance.

In fact, it sometimes hurts. There are many fish that raise or call with hands 27 or 49 and when you have pocket pair QQ or KK they catch 2 and 7 and win. Or they just fold those cards when you raise preflop. That is, they either fold or win with paltry hands ... it sometimes infuriates

This happens often in the tourneys I play. I was just dealt K's, and everyone was either sitting out, or folded!I'm not the person that believes sites are fixed, but it does seem rather unusual. Has this happened to you?
This is a normal situation, it happens that people do not have a hand . You just need to play more cunning and go limp into the hand and take at least a little chips from someone

Of course we are not always getting action, when we raise preflop, and sometimes we get a walk in the big blind. This will happen, weather we have KK or 72o. This has got to be the first post speculating, that poker sites rig the RNG to not generate any action. Typically people speculate the exact opposite, since action generate rake. Either directly in cash games, or by busting people from tournaments, so that perhaps they will rebuy or play another one.

I would think it happens all the time, yesterday in a free-roll I was dealt A/A on the big blind and even the small blind folded? It is sad and very annoying when you are waiting for a decent hand to play, and when it comes everyone folds.
Poker is a cruel game.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

YES, friend, it happens to ALL poker players from Recreational players to the highest stakes poker pros. It is a part of the game. Has nothing to do with "rigged poker"
