poker bad beats...

[gamemastere]

Plus, free or not, some of us hope to make real money from freeplays we earn from free points, so it all adds up, i hope u understand

You say you've only played 1 or 2 times on the SBR poker software, WHY???

If you want to earn points for freeplays play poker. Better yet you could even win cash on a sportsbook. No need for a freeplay then. Not costing you anything to try.

man sorry but I am starting to feel like I am arguing with an idiot, learned a long time ago that is a lost cause

why i played?....i was bored once, wanted to try my luck, and once was invited to try a turney for free to test software which of course froze on me with no points awarded after


and i didnt know u can win cash playing sbr sportsbook, maybe "cash" plays, which still require rollover if im right, but not sure if u can actually win cash, and why call me an idiot, there are absolutely nothing stupid in my remarks unless u still believe royal flushes just rain from a tree and santa lives on a north pole....get a grip man

[gamemastere]

Maybe idiot was a little harsh, but you clearly haven't checked out wat exactly the SBR poker is all about or wat it offers. You could potentially win $500 and 20,000 SBR points.

This link here has the more specific details.

i know,,,, except non pros pay 15 a try and i only see pros play non stop, my odds were slinm and i dont play low odds, not ready to be a pro either

[yisman]

HA HA HAHAHA...I AINT THIS STUPID

Don't sell yourself short.

If SBR were to rig something, it would be to have less royal flushes, not more.

[gamemastere]

theres 15 points to help out on an entry fee

[xkgb]

apreciated guys, but its prolly too late to start playing, i still need to qualify and such

[gamemastere]

5 tourneys a day still 1 more tonight.

http://forum.sbrforum.com/poker/938951-sbr-poker-championship-5-tourneys-day.html

each satellite pays top 5 100 - 500 SBR points, if you win 1st in a satellite you get a seat to saturdays tourney

[beerman2619]

sbr poker is kind of a joke. You just got to laugh it off like any online poker. I probably go in with the best hand 80 percent of the time or so get called by some donk and they hit and win the hand. Its a joke Poker especially online is 99 percent luck.

[beerman2619]

But i love SBR greatest forum on the web. For them to put up contests like this for free is great.

straight flush draw losing to a royal on the river...

[xkgb]

straight flush draw losing to a royal on the river...

exactly....i had a similair experience....2 spades on board, im holding Ace of spade and a 2 of spades, community gets dealt two spades on flop (J,K) i raise small, guy calls........ i catch a flush on next hand....raise again, note ALL-IN.... guy calls and catches 10 of spades on river giving him straight flush(9-K) to my Ace high flush....i thought i had a winner, and did have a winner when i call him all-in, until the river garbage.....Problem with this is not the fact i lost to a donk fishing, but because i keep seeing ROYAL flushes pop out like candy in a store, and do not want to play if the software is rigged to make ppl see these ridiculous hands OVER AND OVER AGAIN.....I'm sorry....i am a good and patient player...always playing my odds right, but i will not play a game of hoakie with a computer thats just not my style.....At first i thought THE GUY GOT EXTREMELY LUCKY, and took my loss as a man, but to hear how many ROYAL FLUSHES SBR keeps handing out, made me realised this can happen expanatial number of times, to the point where your playing skills are affected by the program, and NOT MY OWN PLAY....
I can live with bad beats, once in a while....they are going to happen, but i will not risk my points playing a JUICED GAME....I MAY AS WELL PLAY VIDEO POKER, WHERE THE MACHINES WOULD GIVE YOU SOME CRAZY ASS CARDS LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME. Sorry SBR, i cannot play your poker and have fun doing it, i just cant

[boondoggle]

i'm not gonna whine.

[mikejamm]

Yeah, I haven't been at a final table since I won one a spot in 2nd week! Total bullshit if you ask me. Every hand I'm knocked out with a higher pair or I'll get 2 pair and some donk hits a set against me. Doesn't matter if I play loose or tight, the outcome is still the same. Meanwhile you got newbies hitt'in royal flushes all over the fuk'in place! Some luck ass shit, or is it?

[k13]

Yeah its brutal but that's online poker for you. As I type, QQ < JJ on PS, I just woke up.

I average a bad beat every 5 minutes or less.

===============
I hear ya man! I've pretty much given up on online poker, too many friggin bots and bad beats are the norm at PS and Bodog! Never seen anything like it. I'll stick with live games, at least you can get a read on a player at the table, on a computer, this shit is all rigged for their "special" players!

Pretty much, I've made about 8-9 FT's and am now just at the point where my KK's are getting 4bet shoved by QTo and losing.

nvm, I can probably average a bad beat a minute. Draws hit such a high percentage. I never fold flush draws on PS.

If you watch a table, 23 hands will go and 17 of them will be bad beats.

Some situations are already decided, if you AK on BB and big stack shoves into you/raises and you are on the bubble. He has 910o, you have about 1% of winning this hand.

Come watch me play and you'll see a lifetime of beats in one days worth.

Totally agree, shit happens more times than the law of averages would ever allow at a live table!

[k13]

Holy **** already lose QQ to JJ, JJ to 22, AK AQ, and on and on and on.

play like fucken 10 minutes.

99% is too high

I'm a big proponent of the 'online poker is a joke' camp, but I think it's more like 80% luck/20% skill.

You need luck to win the tournaments but also have some idea of when to bet and when to fold.

to me, poker is not real unless it's played in person and without the ridiculous sunglasses people wear.

The whole skill of it is to read your opponent, especially his eyes. None of this hiding behind computer screens or glasses nonsense.

[k13]

24 left out of 4000 people in a tourney.

I'm 13th or so.

Can't wait for my bad beat now. Should be a big pot.

[k13]

Just as I expected,

I lose AA to AQ

Finish 9 out of 4000

Oh yeah hand before, 2 outer on the river, three hands before. 2 outer.


**** you , fucken die all fucken russians.

I hope every at fucken poker stars fucken dies.

[k13]

I knew every fucken turn and river fucken card that was coming. Its so fucken unrandom.


Why the **** do I have to scream at the screen when I have fucken AA vs AQ and I know I'm the fucken underdog.

**** you.

[k13]

I hope every fucken russian gets fucken aids and dies Along with all those fucken pieces of shit Poker Stars.

[Bob Loblaw]

Agreed, it is rigged. Don't know why but it is. 2 weeks ago I went through a stretch where I couldn't win a hand no matter what. That lasted all week long. Then I finally started getting some cards again. Now 3-4 days ago somebody made one of the worst calls I've ever seen on me and of course got lucky hitting his "pair draw" for a 500+ chip pot. Since then I can't win a hand again. Two tourney's ago it took me literally 45 minutes (no exaggeration) to hit my 1st pair. Then I was knocked out of the tourney with that pair. Then I went to the ring tables and hit trips on the flop and then lost all in to a straight. I reloaded and hit the nut flush on the flop only to lose all in to a boat on a river. Just played for 30 minutes this morning. Just 3 players, the only hands I won were ones that I bluffed on or called bluffs with. And I had to call those with a high card, not because I was given a hand. I think the best I hit was top pair one time and the other guy turned a straight on that hand. Can't hit a pair, can't hit a draw. If I am lucky enough to hit one then somebody will have something better. It's a shame because there is no point in playing when it's like this and I would play all day long if I could. But I'm guaranteed to go broke. I'm not asking to be given great hands, I just want it to be normal poker like it would be in a live game. But it's not and it's like this on every poker site where you have to go through these ridiculous stretches of no shot at turning a profit. In real life you might get cold cards for a tourney or a night. But to get cold cards for days like this when you're playing multiple tables and you're not waiting around for shuffling is absurd.

Do you know what happens when someone has AA vs AQ live? They already packing their fucken bags and walking out.

Meanwhile I'm not even happy to be a 95% fucken fave because I know its not true.

The only thing I'm thinking , "here we go again"

Don't know why I played again. Decided to give it one more shot. Basically the only hands I won I had to bluff and then they gave me top pair on back to back hands only to have straights rivered against me. It really is a joke. I would love to keep playing but it's pointless. I already know how it will end up.

The dude that sucked out..is a super fish at poker. I could post another 30 hands like this that has happened in last 3 days alone while playing 1 table..the odds of this is huge..

also, the royal flush in every 30k hands..well..how many have there been..10 or 11 since promotion..look at the hand history number in right hand corner..do the math...lol.

[xkgb]

Sorry to hear this....im with u a 100%...One thing is to lose on a suckout, bad call, etc.....another, to keep playing when the hands being dealt are UNREASONABLY STACKED. i felt it from day 1 i played here, and being a quick learner I stopped before i could amass big losses. Sur some of you might want to defend this....but THATS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO COMPENSATE FOR YOUR OWN CRAPPY POKER SKILLS....Me personally, I'd rather depend on myself to win....If i didnt, i'd be sitting in the casino room pulling the one armed bandit by his cock

[boondoggle]

Another bad beat all in preflop that just happened....lol.
