Today, 20:36 I have no idea where to even begin. Things that should be happening a fraction of the time happen in almost every big pot or clutch situation. Ive been playin for over a year now and especially these last 6 months or so, the beats have been HORRIBLE!!!! Im not even exagerrating when I say I lose nearly 80 percent of ALL my AA or KK. Every single AA i have gets crushed by constant four card straight and flush draws. If its not those its sets and two pairs. Legit the only 20 percent of hands i win with superior hands like this are little to no pots. Any ax i have against another ax w a lower kicker, there kicker always hits. Ill lose set to set, two pair to two pair. Earlier i got called in a 50k tourny. I had 86 against a5. flop was 4,8,10. check check. turn is a jack, i shove he calls and then the river is an A. which is so routine on this site. Nearly any card they need comes on the river. LITERALLY almost any time i have top pair after flop and shove and someone calls w a flush draw, the flush literally comes the next card 8/10 times. I may not be the best player, or make the smartest moves, but regardless i should not be running into this amoubnt of bad beats ALL of the time. I dont sit here and multi tables tons of tables. I play maybe 2 SOMETIMES 3 at a time the most, so its not like im playing 1000s of hands. SO it blows my mind to see the amount of times things like this happen. I have the best hand preshove nearly 70 percent of the time, always called by a worse hand or someone chasing something, yet by the time the river hits i always lose. THis is the case in almost ALL tourneys of significance. Normally id crush it the entire tourney until righ tbefore the bubble, then the bullshit starts. Now I can barley do that. WHich i find funny bc any time i play the freerolls or with play money, these things seems to rarely happen, if ever, again, only when it is significant like the later step freerolls when the wins actually reward you. Im down about 6k overall. Its just funny bc theres a satalleite into a contest where they give only 3 seats. So you have to place top 3 out of 500 plus players on avg. Ive done this numerous times, yet i cant place in ANY paid tourneys where the entrance fee is over 2$.
I dont want to sound like im whining, but this is literally all day, every single tourney, every single game. It is so discouraging. this doesnt sound like variance to me. ANd again i dont have to be the best player, i dont even have to b a winning player, but these things are just occuring WAYYYYYYY too OFTEN in so many convenient spots. A great example is ANYYYYY time im against an overpair I ALWAYSSSSSSS connect top pair on the board. Ill lose set to set, two pair to two pair, flush to flush, a high flush to straight flush, full house to quads, at such an alarmingly high rate. I feel i don play NEARLY enough hands to experience this like its routine.
does anyone else play on blackchip?
are you a winning player?
I really feel the site may be rigged.
). Luck is part of the game, as long as you don´t have a HUGE sample size. It´s the law of large numbers in math. So either you play through the downer or you quit poker. Everybody here had experienced a downswing and had to find a good strategy to get through it somehow.
