I flop trips, he flops top pair. I bet, he puts me all in. I call, and the turn gives me a full house and him trips. The river, he makes a better full house. I have this fool putting all his money in totally dominated, and as usual, they just suck out anyway. :shoot: ---

Cry cry cry… the 1% that fucks you over will always haunt you… but don’t let that change your style of play… i’ve had poket aces that hit quads on the flop i was pushed near all in and i got disconnected… he did a min bet on the river and took my 250 bucks so don’t bitch that shit happens all the time too… there are some serious idiots… or… you know what, if you were in taht too… you’d prolly go balls out with top piar providing you had a good kicker ---

> [@blacke36](#): > > you’d prolly go balls out with top piar providing you had a good kicker Yes. If I had top pair with a good kicker, and someone bet at me, I’d instantly move all my money in, because nothing is going to beat that… Bad beats happen to everyone, but when your totally dominate hands loses six times in two days, it gets kind of frustrating. If I flopped a boat, and he flopped trips, I can see being that agressive. But jesus, you have top pair with a shit kicker and a wet flop. Getting beat by people who shouldn’t even be in a hand is like a double kick in the ass. ---

Save up money…and only play $400 and higher tables…I’ve found that’s the only place where people actually lay down hands some people even say only $10/$20 games and higher involve “real” poker $.5/$1 tables and lower online are risky man…I’ve had players stick in with 86os to a $5 pf raise…and then when 10-9-7 hits my pocket 7s look nice…but his 2nd nut is better ---

Joe, i’ve heard people say the same thing. I just wish I had the bankroll. Like I said, I understand bad beats happen. But atleast four of my hands I was anywhere from a 80% to a 90% favorite, and I lost all four of them! Just venting, feels like playing good poker is not rewarding. Now I know why so many people think online poker is rigged, even though it’s not. ---

no, u weren’t playing realistically. i realize it was a .10/.25 game, for play money, but, not only did u call a 60 BB raise w/ 77 before the flop, u also re-raised all-in with it against 6 other players. don’t mean to flame, truthfully it’s just a horrible play. i respect good poker, or at least an attempt at good poker, not just throwing everything in. > [@benji86](#): > > excuse me? how did i play poorly and stupid there? i should also add that i had been playing for a good couple hours so i wanted to stop playing so i figured i may as well call it… or do you just like flaming people like a jackass? ---
