I find online poker rewards the people that blindly chase with terrible odds and then they suck out on the guy protecting his flopped beauty. Theres a dramatic shift in the tide of each hand from the flop to the river. I'm convinced it's just to get more money passing through the rake, because it happens alllll the time. not random at all. |
Not true but you are welcome to believe what you want. It all boils down to the number of hands you play and folks selective memory. I played online today for just over 3hrs and played over 600 hands. Live, I would need to play between 19-21 hours to see that many hands.
The point being, you'll see a lot more variety in hands (suckouts, 2 outers, etc) in a much more compressed time frame so the game looks wilder.
