Yesterday I had AA dealt to me and there was a raise from a very loose player who had been raising and stealing with complete rubbish. I re-raised and he moved all in, I should've been happy when he showed Q7 off suit
That joy turned to pain when the board came 5 7 7 4 7 and he made quad 7s. You then get the idiotic chat from him where he says "serves you right for trying to bully me!" I know you want these idiots to call but it doesn't make the pain of losing any less bearable!Then this morning at 7:00 I entered a tournament. I played great poker for 4 hours even folding Aces when I was beat by a lucky river and folding Kings when someone called with 8 6 and the flop came J 6 6.
I made the final table and was a big chip leader. In fact many of the players only had enough chips for 5-6 orbits of the table. I just used my stack to bully them when I had position and it was working nicely.
I was then dealt AK in the big blind and the small blind moved in. I called and he showed A 6. I had him dominated but he hit a 6 on the turn...loss #1
Later I had AK and once again the same player shoved. He showed K 4 and he hit a 4 on the flop loss #2
Then I had JJ and made a raise which was called. The flop came J K 9 and my opponent moved all in. I naturally called and he showed 7 8 off suit. I mean come on he realistically has just 3 Tens in the deck but sure enough a Ten came on the turn and he made a straight Loss #3
SO now my stack is dwindling and I wonder how long this luck can last. I and dealt AK and I raise enough to put a short stack all in. He called and showed KJ and he hit a J on the flop Loss #4!! Thankfully he was very low so it didn't affect me too much. I also couldn't blame him for calling because he was about to be killed by the blinds and antes.
I sat tight for a while because I was being dealt dross and when I had a marginal hand there was a big raise which forced me to fold.
I was then dealt AA again and once again I found myself against the short stack. I raised and he moved all in with A7. Yes you've guessed it he made trip 7s on the flop and I lost again. loss #5
Unbelievably I was dealt AA on the very next hand only this time it was the chip leader who raised and I had to call with this hand. He showed JT off suit........I kid you not!! I was happy to see a flop of A 7 J but the turn was a J and the river was the case J. I could not believe it and the odds that went against me were astronomical!
After 4 hours I went from a massive chip leader to out of the tournament after 6 losses against the odds on each occasion. The only lucky part was the other players had small stacks. Had it been a player with more chips I would have lost quicker.
I don't believe online poker is rigged but the hands you see are crazy. A lot of people say it is just down to the number of hands played but I disagree. I once played a 5 day live tournament and I only saw 1-2 bad beats like that. It really is weird and I think it is because the other players cannot be seen so the embarrassment of calling with a crazy hand is negated.
HO HUM!
