How do you handle the online poker today?

I have done more than ok during 2 years. I normally play four 1/2 or 2/4 no limit tables. Ill not say anything more about that. Just so you know that O have got from beginner and a bit up on the ladder. The last 7-8 months have made me wonder whats happening with the online poker though. Ill never say that someone have broken the system, but at least I belive that more than me wonder.

I have had streaks more terrible than any pot odds can explain, and YES I have studied statistics. I had a streak in May where I lost with AA pre-flop 11 times in a row, then won one and then lost 9 more.

Aprox a months ago I lost 3 times in a row to the same guy/girl (VERY AGGRESIVE). Flopped a set AA(A93), bet half pot, he doubled it, I went allin and hoped that he had AK, he called and needed to pay another 280 dollars. He had Q2 and got 45 on turn and river. I guessed he hit the wrong button. I reloaded as I saw the guy as a goldmine.

10 minutes later I flopped TT(T65) with 2 hearts. I vet half pot half pot, he doubled it as usual. This time I called as I wanted to see if a heart came out, NO heart, only a 3. After the turn I called, he bet the pot, I went allin and he called with another 350 dollars. He had 92 with only 1 hearts. The river was a 4. Thistime I was angry, Sad to say and I did wrong when I reloaded, but as he played like a........ well, it cant be sayd in words.

One hour later I had won a few pots against other players. I ow had just below 600 dollars. I got KK, for once he had to raise first and he bet 4 times the BB. As I was angry with him, I just went allin. I put him on A?. He called my almost 600 dollars allin with J3 unsuited. The flop came Q76, turn 5 and river 4.

Since then I havnt played until this week. Im even this week and play tighter than ever and only on sitandgoes 10+1 for fun. I asked the site in an e-mail and just got the answer, bad luck against a very bad player. It was NOT on Absolut poker.

I have now ended that account and Ill probably not play any sitandgoes eighter. I have played live aprox 10 times. With that I dont mean among friends, I mean on a casino. I have went home with a quiet resonable plus all times.

The question is then, have anyone experienced something like this during the last half year? The only thing I regret is why I continued for so long. Even though I will never accuse any poker sites for frauds, it would be nice to know how safe their clients are? Still 14 year old kids have hacked Pentagon and we can read several times every year about banks who have been hacked. Are the poker clients really that good??
