bsd beats

bigaggs

i have come to the conclusion that sky poker is a joke i aqm sick to death off getting beat with low cards as i just found out as someone went all in with 8-5 and i had j-q suited and get beat with 8-5 on the draw something needs to be done about this as its not fair play i have played a gd few tourneys and let it go and excepted that u will get beat by low hands now and again but on a regular basis ist fair im not a sore looser but  its starting to pee me off with sky that it happens far to often for my liking

Are bsd beats worse than bad beats?

You lost a 67% - 32% and write an essay to moan about it.

Take up noughts and crosses.

Could keep losing at noughts and crosses too! What then?
Even W.O.P.R tried and decided the best move was not to play...

Hi bigaggs
So are you saying we are supposed to fold everything but big cards?

As far as I was aware, there were 52 cards in a pack and in Holdem all of them were in use and we had to make the best hand we could by using our holding cards & the community cards.....Is this not the case anymore? have the rules changed and I just havent been informed?

Well........I'm pretty sure the rules haven't changed, so I would just like to inform you thats it's not the 2 biggest holding cards that win in Holdem, it's the best 5 card hand made up using a combination of your holding cards and the 5 community cards. In Texas Holdem, you can use a combination of 2 holding cards and 3 community cards or 1 of your 2 holding cards and 4 community cards.

For future reference.......
8-5 will beat Q-J nearly 32% of the time
J-Q does not beat 8-5 if the 8-5 hits a bigger hand
J-Q is also not a very good hand to be calling an all-in with even against a short stack
J-Q is behind to every pocket pair

I could go on, but it's probably better for me to suggest you read a few books, visit some poker strategy sites and maybe get a better uderstanding of the game or why not post a few hands in the clinic and ask for some advice on how you played them.

Bad beats happen, but it helps if you learn how to reduce the chances of that happening.
