When something happens that is very unusual or against the odds, it is a freak result. When it happens a few times, it is a coincidence. When it happens on a fairly frequent basis, it ceases to be a freak result or a coincidence. It becomes the norm and therefore it happens because of design rather than anthing else.
It's hilarious reading this thread again. 4 months is a long time in poker.
when i lose, nothing when i win.
Thats 6 in a row for my AA.
Does this alleged variance mean I'll take down the pot the next 24 times?????????
I think people know which side of the fence I sit, but I will say that my ratio of big pairs holding up at showdown is super low live over last 6 months.
But as I manage my BR well live I dont hate it as much. I think Doh will likely latch on to this, but If your managing your online BR well it shouldnt hurt so much. Maybe thats the key to the online BB's, simple BR managment. (Which I hugelymassivelyOMG'dly) lack
I mostly play MTTs. After sitting tight and picking moments you get kicked in the teeth from a bigger stack. A bigger stack that has been gleaned usually from gung ho nonsense play.
If you dont call an all-in from a loose cannon with aces, what do you call with?? When do you call?? Why are you playing??
Theres no coming back from it, BRM doesnt come into it, you're out.
Maybe its time to have a look around these other sites and use the incentives offered to find a one that suits. Any good'uns, anyone????
An argument can strongly be made rgat out of a pool of 3000 active players a small percentage are going to run perpetaully bad.
Not all players post. Perhaps we are that fringe percentage that just run bad, despite optimum (or sub optimal) play and vent about it.
Even a perfect RNG will produce this variable affect. Bit drunk and rambling, but its a viable devils advocate perspective,
I must say that i have been involved in similar hands as shown in this discussion and yes some are unreal (or at least seem to be) but, if you look on youtube you will also find these things happen in real world poker too.
3, 4 or even 5 pocket pairs in the same handAA vs KK vs KK, AA vs KK vs QQ,AA vs QQ vs KK vs 77 vs 55, AA vs AA, AA vs AA vs KK, even quad aces that run into a royal flush, yes that 1:1.2 billion chance, WSOP 2008 ME(look on youtube and see for youself), 1 or 2 outers hitting, bad plays paying off, try and find Willie Thorne the snooker player playing poker, unbelievable luck, and you can tell on the other player faces at the table that it is getting to them, I can't remember what it was on, i saw it on tv some time ago, possibly channel four. I'll try and find it.
but some of these hands listed on this discussion could have been folded or at least at minimum loss.
I've done it myself where i was left thinking OMG, WTF was that,, but sometimes, if you look at at the hand histories ( preferably on a different day when you calmed down a bit and can look at it in a clear mind) you will see that you probably could have got away from it.
b) Are you speaking to anyone about your inflated opinion of yourself? c) Try and stick omething under your exclamation mark key and jiggle it. Should come free.
Aces are not indestructible though, as in my post above, the hand AA vs AA, you expect a split pot, but if i'm remembering right, one pair of aces hit a flush, and i'm pretty sure it's not the first or last time it will happen as long as poker is being played.
Takes integrity to concede on a matter like this, fair play bud.
Fwiw i'm batting 9/12 against in AA and KK winning at showdown alpf and aiof live. But also at 7 handed table last night 6 were dealt pocket pairs, furthermore worst one mined it.
My longstanding views do still hold. No-one says it doesnt happen live, frequency would be the point of concern mainly.
