Absolute joke.
I've had absolutely no luck on here all week. The 7:30pm freerolls I've finished just out the money both nights and had some very bad luck along the way but tonight takes the biscuit, not least because I was in a good position.
No surprise that the guy with more chips gets the luck, it's getting sad when I can predict the river so frequently, not one ounce of me was surprised he hit his jack on the river.

APPROVE THEM NOW SKY!
My biggest issue is that I can see them coming.
To sum the hand up I've got KK. The guy after the BB raises 3x the big blind, a couple of people fold, I go all in. Then the last person folds and the guy who raised calls. Cards turnover he's got JJ against my KK.
Flop comes and gives him absolutely no hope, no flush draw, no straight draw all low cards. The turn is another low card which again does him no good. Now we all know what the river card is and I'm left licking my wounds once again.
I accept that these beats can happen but the frequency in which they do is getting ridiculous. It's also uncanny how often these beats occur in favour of the guy with the larger stack.
Maths isn't your strong point then?
If you watch live poker they show the percentages after every stage not just pre-flop and post flop. The chances of him winning that hand on the river were incredibly slim.
The chips went in pre, he will win 20% of the time, the runout is irrelevant. There is no control over events once you click that all in button.
If it can happen in poker, then it can happen in poker. If you can't get your head round that then there is no hope for you in this game.
You might think that's harsh but thems the breaks.
Good luck.
Give the game up, it's not for you.
Jimmi,
You are being given good - & perfectly correct - advice here by some very experienced players.
You may need a little help with your game, so go to our Poker clinic - HERE - & ask some questions, tell them you are struggling, & you'll get a ton of good, free, advice. If you are willing to learn, you cannot fail to improve.
And please don't abuse those who are trying to help you. That's all they are trying to do - help you - so they don't deserve abuse.
One thing you will have to accept is that poker can be brutally unfair at times, & it goes in runs. That's the mighty beast called variance at work. Nobody is immune to variance. But if you have good technique, you can beat the game.
Good luck.
Oh, Cant believe I missed this debate.
A proper popcorn and Fanta thread too.
If you re-set the bag, and repeat an infinite number of times (it will be fun!) then your results will regress to what they should be, you will pick red balls out 99% of the time.
