I've really had it now with online poker. I don't care what anyone says about how these things happen in live poker also, bull😡 Every time I get a little BR going, I work it up a little at a time, then all of a sudden I can't get a hand and when I do, I get a ridiculous badbeat. Last night was the most ridiculous ever. I'll start with the last sit n go I played, this was on bodog. Playing tight the hole tourney, finally get a hand, I think it was the third hand I played at all, J J. I raise 5 times the blind, one caller, flop is nothin, they go allin, I call, they have pocket 4's, and yes , there's a 4 on the flop. Okay, I can accept that one. But earlier, also at bodog, in late position with a min raise and 3 callers I decide to call with my Qh 8h. BB doubles the bet so now I wish I wasnt in but I'm gettin over 10 to 1 so I call. Pot is over 600. Flop is all hearts, with K being one of them. So I have 2nd nut flush, only worried about Ah being out there. BB bets 500, another guy raises allin. I figure I could be in trouble, but I can't resist and call. I'm hoping to see the Ah not suited. But no, no heart at all. This idiot goes allin with top pair with 3 hearts on the flop and has no heart😡! Well I put it into the odds calculator, I win 97.12% of the time now. Turn - board pairs, river - another K, he now has fullhouse. FU bodog😡!
[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]I feel your pain, madjek, I really do because I spent almost an entire weekend -- over the span of maybe 20 MTTs between late Friday night and Sunday afternoon -- watching pots that were all mine right up to the river end up in someone else's hands and usually bust me to boot. And I mean every single one of them. I can't say many -- maybe none at all -- were truly donk plays by the villains but that doesn't ease the pain any. . .[/FONT]
[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]So, as someone said to me when I went on a similar stream-of-ventingness in another forum, it's time to take a deep breath, maybe take some time off from the tables, get rid of the negative thoughts and energy and tell yourself it was just one bad session out of many good -- or at least comprehendable -- ones. 'Cause you know you did nothing wrong but play the way it's supposed to be played. And in the long run the profits will come and make up for it. . .[/FONT]
