    Indeed ,but this happen also because are many fishes who call with stupid hands like 57 or 910 and they win almost everytime even you call them with pocket rockets because i saw they almost always hit the community cards... I don`t know how is this possible 80% always happen that... not like in real poker... i believe the software give good cards for more players to raise the rake...

    I do not think the cards are rigged online, just you see so many more hands so it seems crazy. I have played probably a million hands and never seen a bad beat online. Seen crazy hands live in the few games I have played and on tv.

    Most of the time Aces and Kings do not get cracked but you do not even see the cards or remember the hands if they do not.

    I wrote a year ago that I have made more money gambling in my lifetime, as have many others on this site, then most so called "professional poker" players have in their careers/lifetimes............for two reasons.

    1. A few are actually lifetime losers playing poker(I said a few) and gambling overall(many more).

    2. Many of them, and this is the #1 reason, blow their poker winnings on blackjack, craps, sportsbetting, and other gambling ventures.

    id bet most of these guys end up with big debt when they die... They're action junkies and they cant just have money sitting around without betting it.. Got to be quite a stressful lifestyle, although quite a rush..

    nobody looses at poker
    everybody knows that.
    what makes these guys great at high stakes poker, total disregard for money , also makes them a very high risk to go broke, have mucho money problems.
