edited December 2009 in Poker Chat

I have seen this time and time again, if you go all in against someone with more chips evan if you have top pair or evan if you have trips you get beat on the river card. 

/>Is this just bad luck or sky software taking people out?
 
/>have you seen this happen?

/>do you rip your hair out like me?

/>Do you find your self swearing at the screen?

Let me know voice your opion here right now let it all out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its definitely the software that deals you the bad beat, its designed to deal cards, however it is still random cards that are generated. As for being on the river, if its all in preflop it makes no difference weather its the 1st card that beats you or the last, its still the same, it just feels worse because you had that little bit of expectation that you were gonna win, and it was ripped away from you. As for chip stacks it does not effect the cards, again probably feels worse cos your knocked out as opposed to if you lose when you are the chip leader your still in and can take the 'hit' One final point you dont give the hands you are all in with and your position or how desperate you were in the chip stacks, maybe have a look at what your shoving with and when your shoving with it. One more little snippet that i try sometimes, if you have say 1500 chips, are short stacked say blinds are 100/200 and you get a pair, instead of going all in preflop and letting a caller see 5 cards like the river you stated, why not go say 500 and then after the flop go all in with the other 1000 no matter what, its sometimes more profitable than just an all in, and asks your opponent a questionNow off to area 51 with you we have a dedicated team (irishrover) waiting for you to give you counselling
