icky

I feel your pain man. I'm on an 8 buy in downswing at 50 NL

[Ikkans]

this is exactly why i dont play cash games!

[sharkyspoker]

I tell you now a days on these sites, I play more to minimize my loses than to maximize my wins. You can almost see the hand developing into leaving you with 2nd best hand.

online poker just makes no sense to me. I dont go near it. technically, its all just random, so it should be fairly similar to live, yet the hand values are completely different. Trips are close to a lock live, yet online you have to pray to boat up cuz on the turn or river BS will come. 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.

[Irish Se7en]

It looks like you're human and you make (some) mistakes just like everyone else.

I guess it's time for you to beat up some CT'ers in HU now.
