I play online, mostly at PokerTime.com. Lately about the last 2 weeks I have just been getting bad beat-ed to death. I played 16 1-table tournies and got bad beat-ed out of 12 of them. I consider a bad beat when u r a 80% fave or better. Needless to say I was thoroughly disgusted. Anyways, that cost me about $200, playing 5,10, and $20 !-table tournies. So I decide to go back to the cash game, low limit, just the 50c/$1 NL table.
In a matter of 5 days i am just getting bad beat-ed all over the place, it was just killing me, costing me about another $200. So last night was just the killer for me, I have stayed patient throughtout this whole ordeal saying to myself "its just a phase, luck comes and goes, it will all even out" however what happened to me last night has just left me bewildered and broken. NOTE : all this happend in about a 2hr span. I'll describe these hands as briefly as possible not to bore u Hand #1 - I have pocket 10's, I flop a 10, bet hard get a caller, after turn there are 3 diamonds on board, I go allin for around $100, guy calls me with a 4 of diamonds!!, just a 4, and spikes a dia on the river and wins a $270 pot off me. Horrible decision by the other player and just another sht beat for me. Horrible player gets rewarded for a horrible decision while I bust out to a 4 card flush with trip 10's Hand #2 - I have pocket Jacks, I raise to $7 preflop. Another player goes all in for roughly $65. I call, (bad call by me, I know, but not when he flips his cards over), he shows pocket 3's. YES!!!!! right?, no, as u guessed it, he flops a 3 and busts me, another $140 pot screwed out of. hand #3 - Im holding KK, I raise preflop to $5 get a couple callers, the board comes out all low cards and a guy bets all in $90 at me, I call. He turns over a total bluff, he has Ace-8, no pair, no draw, nothing. U guessed it, he turns an ace and busts me. Another $200 pot Im screwed out of. Now I am just livid. One more hand and thats it Hand #4 - Im holdong pocket 5's, I call a modest $3 preflp raise. BAM, i spike a 5 on the flop. Guy bets $10 at me and I raise him to $30, he calls and the turn is a blank. He goes all in for like $120, I call. He turns over QJ\(top 2 pr), I am sitting there with a set, a 90% fave. BAM he rivers a Jack and busts me out of a $250 pot. unreal!!! Right now I am so bitter and so overwhelmed I am just angry. Now I believe these pros arent even really incredible players, but just good players who get lucky or moreso, just dont get unlucky. Im not claiming to be anywhere near that level but I just dont know what more I could have done and what better positions I could ask to be in only to just get screwed out of all my $$. Now ive been bad beat-ed so much it would take me weeks to try to recover all these losses assuming I just dont get bad beat-ed again. The thing I want some feedback on is this, I have a couple questions, 1) Am I just an unlucky person and it will always be this way so I should just stop now instead of thinking it will even out?? 2) Is this just a phase I have to go thru?? and if so, How does anyone turn a profit when this is always happening??? 3) is the internet just rigged or just so stupid I should forsake internet poker all together?? Sorry for the HUGE post but i just am so frustrated, bitter, pissed, and everything I just want answers for gettung fcked up and down the block for the last 2 weeks, its basically an insurmountable hill for me now. thanks for any responses I may get |
