    For the full story: a player limped, he open shoved for like 20 BBs with 98 of hearts. I called of course with QQ - flop comes T76, turn Q, and river T. But he gets his $ allin with 98 vs QQ preflop, ends up losing the hand and tries to later imply that he took a bad beat? That's a rather interesting view of things!

    I really don't understand these folks who are continually whining about their poker performance on here. Is it because (a) they just need to vent when things go badly for them or (b) because they genuinely believe it's rigged

    If it's (a), I can sort of understand that, I'm sure everyone on here has had runs where everything seems to be going wrong, and it's not unreasonable that sometimes the build up of that will cause you to need to blow off some steam. But it's one thing to randomly do that every now and then, quite another to be doing it every single session of poker you play as you and a few others seem so fond of doing. If it's (b), then there is a very simple solution: STOP PLAYING! Why anyone would play on a site which they are convinced is rigged against them is beyond me.

    As I have said, in my many years of poker, I have generally found that those who whine excessively often tend to be some of the players with the biggest leaks in their game - their ego simply causes them big problems. Very simply, whenever they lose, they always convince themselves that their losses are occurring due to bad beats/coolers etc. - never ever possibly due to their suboptimal play. And the fact that they convince themselves of that means they never improve their game. And if you believe that losing 98 to QQ allin preflop was somehow a bad beat for you, well, that's certainly not something that speaks in your favor in this regard.

    Love it, no sympathy nothing... But thanks for answering, You still hit runner, runner... My only point!! as for leaks in my game, every single one of us make mistakes...I just never seem to catch cards, I've made plenty of points playing poker here, so it's not a " leak " in my game. I don't know what it is, I don't think sbr has something against me or anyone, I just know these cards aren't falling right for me. Yes, I was frustrated when making the OP, and no I don't make them " that often ", I've made three or four since I've been here. As for ego, what are you talking about ? Did I say I'm the best here, no one can beat me and yada yada, I named a few I particularly stay away from at the moment, because I know my chances of being beat, and how good they run, and their skill levels... I take all this in to consideration.. So back up a little bit

    You shove preflop in a cash game with 98 for 20 BBs, get your $ in as a huge underdog, lose the hand, and yet continue to claim it was a bad beat for you. If that's not a "leak" in your game/thinking, then I'm not sure what is.

    You've made plenty of points off poker here - so all those times you win points is it just your far superior play that causes it? It must be since you never catch cards.

    I don't know how many posts like this you've made, but pretty much every time I've seen you at a table, you've been whining about your bad luck (and I think others here can also attest to this). If that's not a sign of someone who complains far too much, then again I'm not sure what is.

    It has nothing to do with any claim you made/didn't make. My point is that those who, whenever they lose, start complaining, cursing their poor luck, etc. etc. - to me their ego is really what drives that. They simply have it in their heads that they should never lose, and that whenever they do it's due to some kind of poor luck, never possibly due to bad play, that an inferior player must have gotten lucky in order for their majestic selves to ever lose. Again if that's not a situation where someone's over-inflated ego is causing them to lash out, then I'm not sure what you would call it.

    What's your point? My A,4 suited was a 73% favorite against Sin's 7,4 off. Didn't stop Sin from puling a flush, since he still had a 25% chance to win. I don't complain when my better hand loses, I'm satisfied getting all my chips in with the best of it. On the few occasions I'm behind & in a position to suck out, I won't apologize if I do. It's poker, intelligent folks realize there's a certain luck factor involved.

    People like yourself who constantly complain about bad beats & change their avatar like underwear, are the most unstable.

I have to learn to play as "skilled" as these guys....... how does one acquire this "skill" of shoving with horseshit hands against premium hands and somehow always flopping a winner????

    what makes this "skill" certain sbr players have all the more impressive is how it only works online; for eg. in a recent live trny i played in, i had kk three times, and DIDN'T LOSE WHEN RERAISED ALL IN BY THE FOLLOWING HANDS: jj, jj, a7...... amazing how they immediately knew they were more or less drawing to two outs; and three in the case of the ace rag hand......

    on sbr, ida lost all three of those hands...... I guess these guys playing live just simply DO NOT have the same "skill" when getting it all in behind as do so many "skilled" players on sbr...........

    dammit, someone help me out with this f'n "skill"........... play shit, suckout, win = "skill" on sbr........... but not in real poker..... how the fck can that be????????

    brainfreeze must have his doom switch off... yesterday in omaha cash game, all in on the flop with full house he caught runner runner inside straight flush to beat me

    stuff happens, and we seem to remember the times we get burned way more than the times we get lucky... you can run bad for a long time, the first 3 years or so of sbr poker i only had 1 first place finish and i played every day! but it's hard to seriously complain too loudly about running bad on a freeroll

    AND, remember, it's generally free............ as someone so eloquently pointed out in another thread, it only costs you TIME.............

    "we all know it's rigged"

    so the same site that leaves hand-for-hand at 15 even when they pay 5 places is somehow technically capable enough, and smart enough to rig the poker software to benefit cronies? it wouldn't even make sense to do it except maybe in the 5k and now wsop tourney

    i do agree with you in that aspect mike, but it isnt if sbr rigged it. the question would be if they bought rigged software (probably unknowingly, because you know noone there knows about poker)

    yeah the software might be rigged for action, but if that was the case then instead of complaining about it people should look for ways to exploit it... i would love to find out that every ncaa basketball game involving uw-milwaukee was rigged, i could just look for the patterns and make money on it

    stuff happens, and we seem to remember the times we get burned way more than the times we get lucky... you can run bad for a long time, the first 3 years or so of sbr poker i only had 1 first place finish and i played every day! but it's hard to seriously complain too loudly about running bad on a freeroll
    I hit a one outer ... A 7 on turn I believe ...wasn't runner runner...but what sucks even more, is when people have it out for you. Like tonight's tourney, Mjamm arunsh, and me... Jamm big stack, shoving me around not letting me see a flop, and arunsh ... Jamm let him see everything .. Sat there 5 minutes.. As soon as jamm put me out .. They then proceed to go all in... Sucks but true, that had nothing to do with software and so fourth... but hey, all in the game congrats jamm
