I lose money or tournaments generally this way...
20 percent of the time I'm out carded
30 percent of the time I'm out drawn
50 percent of the time I'm bad beat/beat out.
I run into this situation all the time. In cash games. I'm up and doing well but don't want to leave because I'm doing well and the table is soft. I make all the right plays and the guy gets lucky out of his rear and I lose a large portion of my winning.
Tournaments it is the same thing. So one is always getting lucky against me or so it seems.
Yes just like everyone else, I guess wrong ocassionally or I'm QQ vs AA etc...
The things that bother me is your sitting at a table doing okay, and you get ot watch so complete donkey raking it up hitting 4 outers on the river, making his bad flush draws without the correct odds etc.. I've come to believe that online you have to be getting lucky and it is hard to do that by playing good poker. I can't believe the plays I see. Donks calling 10 dollar raises with K3 off and they end up beating KK or AA. I truly don't think that online poker is real or random. It isn't necessarily picking one person to win all the time it is just creating action flops and boards that make for more draws getting there then should.  |
