Lots of bad beats in NL holdem

[JPFisher55]

This year I have had numerous streaks of bad beats in NL holdem, .25/.50 and .50/1.00. A couple went off and on for 4-6 weeks, but most last a few days. In the last 2 days, I have lost to a 2 outer on river when QQ beat my KK, a 4 outer on turn when I flopped a FH only to see player with trips hit their hold card for better FH and a 5 outer on river all in with QQ v player with A5 and 752 on flop. This year I have suffered 2 one out losses on river, 6-8 2 outers and more 3-10 out river losses than I can remember. Too often, I make the right decision in a big pot only to lose to a bad beat. Sites I play do not seem to matter. I only play online.
Yet, I am up for the year slightly less than 1BB or twice the Big blind.
However, I am making more in 7 card stud and limit holdem. So for a while I am going to concentrate on $1/2 7 card stud and holdem.
This is stats over 50,000 hands. Not a real long run, but not short either. Your thoughts. And no, I do not believe that online poker is rigged.

"I am up for the year slightly less than 1BB or twice the Big blind."

Don't spend it all in one place.


(Yes, I know he means he's running at 1BB/100)

Edit: Oh, and GL with limit. You think you've had a lotta suck outs now, just you wait lol. Suicide watch begins....now.

Yes, I know that too...but my way is funnier

newbie complaining about bad beats switches TO limit hold em??????
hahahahaha hilarity will ensue

Don't worry, the bad beats will follow you to stud too.

I am 4 for 10 on winning the high with rolled up trips.

Actually I am up about .67 BB for a combo of $.25/.50 and .50/1.00 NL. Since the BB is twice the big blind for NL, so that is about $1.26 per hour.
But I am up more per hour in $1/2 limit holdem and stud. I think that bad beats mean less in limit poker because the bad luck in big pots does not hurt as much. The big pots in NL are much bigger by percentage than the average pot than in limit. Also, in limit you have less a % of the pot invested in the big pots.
NL is about capitalizing on big mistakes. But too often my opponents in NL profit from big mistakes. Limit is about small mistakes which occur more often.

Limit hold 'em is about putting your opponent to a decision for some of his chips

Seriously, though, LHE variance and bad beats are fun. You'll love it. It's a way of life!
