    probably nine times out of ten you'd win that flip... i would't worry about the odd one you lose..

    not the site happens everywhere and live so may as well quit the game it happens it hurts sometimes it feels relentless believe me ive had a massive downswing this week but its the variance and happens every walk of poker as long as you play solid poker you be in profit end of year

    on the hand tho noway should you be in there tho what did you put him on?
    he opened shoved if he turned over ak would you have complained?
    realisticly hes made a move with the back up plan of the straight but most times he turns up with an ace and only 4 ace combos aint beating you so focus on the fact you shouldnt have called IN LONG TERM and not  as much on the beat

    DrRungood - this is a heads up game. looks like a turbocharged. I dont think hes done too much wrong given the type of game and blind structure. Hes raised with a decentish A, hit top pair on flop. Should be good. Was good at the time. I think a lot of the hands open shoving flops out of pos in these fast heads up games are bluffs/semi bluffs/2nd or bottom pair. Ive got 30% of my stack in the middle I think Im calling.

    well thats problem with heads up its barely poker in my view as any ace will do but if someone playin heads up turbo people will be in light so cant complain if they hit

    lol, heads up is probably one of the most complex formats of poker.

    Hi Steelrod, Do you play any live games ? If so then you must surely get bad beats in this as well ?? If not then I suggest you play some and see what happens !!

    whats so complex about willing to get 100 bb in on any ace or pair? that is mainly what heads up is and people excuss bad calls because it was heads up you cant fold with such a strong hand
