One sample of a recent beat that I took...

Me: BB with AA (raise 3X BB) (there are 4 limpers);

raise knocks out all but one limper;

Flop: A-8-9 (rainbow flop); I bet the pot, opponent raises double my bet;

Turn: 6; I bet pot again, opponent re-raises all in and I call; Opponent opens with 7-4

River; 5...Trip Aces lose to runner, runner straight...

First off, you should raise more than 3x BB with FOUR LIMPERS. If one of them calls then all of them should call because of pot odds.

Second, just think about how many hands you play online and how many times your aces have won. Are you running PT? Look at the statistics for how many times your Aces win and they should all pan out. A bad beat is a bad beat, its a whole different story if your Aces are winning 50% of the time.

I understand that it happens in poker and you get unlucky (and clearly I wanted someone dumb enough to play 7-4 against my aces). What I'd like to see is statistics that demonstrates that this does not happen as frequently online as I perceive. Apparently this site offered this info...

Ottawa,

these type of posts happen everyday which is why you are unfortunately being met with such rudeness.

If you play long enough you will notice stretches where you will win an inordinate amount of your hands including times you are well behind or tied (AK v. AK you win with flush) then the reverse will happen for a stretch. Its normal variation and happens on all sites.

WoW - I'm glad that so many people on this site (no offense RedRocket) think that they are such experts to tell me that I suck at poker. Who would have thought that I'd some (personal censor) sitting at home on a computer jerking off to Elisha Cuthbert while playing online poker would take offense to me asking a question.

Thanks for the answer
