An interesting comment from Ed Giddins

edited December 2009 in Poker Chat
During last nights Primo show Ed made this comment "The better player you are the more likely you are to suffer bad beats". We must therefore all believe that we are the best players in the world. The amount of ranting on tables after some peoples bad beats is ridiculous to say the least.

Is this just one of Ed's theories or can it really be true.

Would love to read some of your views regarding Ed's comment.

     I think by this he means the better players get it all in ahead more often so therefor if they lose it will always be to a bad beat.

    Yes, it really is as simple as that.
    Good players don't suffer more bad beats percentage wise, they just get the money in ahead more often and, hence, are likely to suffer more bad beats in absolute terms.

    Yeah i agree with the above, if you always go in with muck your unlikely to get many bad beats.
