down to last 4 in a $50 5 person sit n go - 7500 chips in play
i"m chip leader with 4500 ish and the rest have 500 each and im walking it
me - KK
i raise it put them all in happy to take the blinds and let the others fight for 2nd place and to get heads up (a bit arrognat i know but at 100BB level they aint go long left)
one guy calls with KA
fair enough but he rivers the A and doubles up - it happens
next hand i have 88
raise it up and get a call with 5-6 suited from the guy i just doubled up and he gets the flush to double to 2k and leave me 3k
next hand i have KK again (at this point i cant believe my luck) and the guy i just quadrupled up puts himself all in - easy call and he has A2
flop comes 22A
and he now has 4k ish to my 1k
few hands later i have QQ i go all in and one of the others who managed to double up calls with J7
JJ on the flop and turn puts me out
im sure internet poker is rigged - theres bad beats - but to happen in the space of 10 or so hands is unbelievable
-
trust me - live poker is more rigged
-
This sort of thing has happened to me once or twice. I don"t put it down to internet poker being rigged. However if I have doubts about one particular site then I cash out and stay away.

what possible gains is there for an internet site to target individual players?

agree, in order for something to be deemed rigged, then the .err..rigger needs to gain from the actions...what possilble gain can the site have from such actions.
i always think how a site can be deemed rigged, as it can"t never force you to play your cards..there is nothing stopping you folding your hand(s) (especially in this situ, as you could have folded your way to the win with your chip lead!?)
-
I agree with Dean; Live poker is far more rigged.
I once ran KK then QQ into the same players AA in consecutive hands.....
.............and sucked out each time ;D
-
Online poker is ulitmately rigged, absolutely.
Otherwise it"s fine.

to be fair - i dont thin k internet poker is rigged
i was just fuming to be sucked out on so many hands in such a short time whilst dominating the field
maybe i was steaming/on tilit a bit - and i probably was a bit but i was still going in with the best hands
but its more the donkey calls and the guy thinks he"s some world class hero player cause he made the right decisions
at the time i was raging - 24 hours later though - i can look bvack and relaise i didnt make any mistakes - just had bad players thinking they made the right decisions

Just a test of your mental aptitude for this game? If you can forget & move on you passed, if not you have failed this test & will suffer more mental anguish? See you next week at Blackpool!

What makes you believe he thinks he"s a world class player? Why can"t he just be a recreational player trying his best?
I recommend you read The Tao of Poker by Larry Phillips: it is surprising how positive an effect it can have just by helping you understand the way you feel about the game and its ups and downs.

yes and maybe you can get a feng shui expert round to rearrange your furniture into a more positive yang balance.
Creating a home that reflects the feng shui yin yang balance is very important for your health and well-being. There will always be one quality of feng shui energy that is stronger depending on the use of the space, but you need to represent both.
erm hope that helps lol

I was playing in a live cash game last night, and I limped UTG with AA, as it was a very active table and I was waiting for someone to raise so I could re-raise.
Sure enough someone raised to £8, called by two others, and I re-popped it for £80 (i"d just lost £40 on the previous hand so it looked like a tilt shove). Called by the first raiser and the other two folded. He had QQ, and surprise surprise, my aces held up.
;D

Not like you Dan - I was reading that waiting to get to the bad beat ending!!! ;)
-
ive very very rarely limp with aces anymore
only if it bb vs sb or similar
number of times ive limped only for 7 8 to hit a straight or 2 pair on the flop

I had a couple of nasty internet beats the other day. I play online alot so I see quite a few and never usually dwell on them, but these were especially frustrating.
Cash game Im in SB with KK. Button raises and I re-pop, he calls and flop is K-x-x rainbow, most would check call or check raise here, but I lead for half the pot and get three-bet back at at which point I call, sure that the chap has AK. Turn is an A, and I make a pot size bet, villain insta-shoves and I call. The pot is over $400, and sure enough it"s my set of kings against his top two (AK), river comes an Ace for boat over boat, evil opponent takes the pot.
Second one was maybe two hours later in a sit and go. We"re heads up and even in chips, winner takes a prize just short of $300. I standard raise with KK again, and he calls with 78 suited, flop is 10-8-2 rainbow, he bets big, I shove and he eventually calls, for the game, cards on their backs, turn is 6, river 9, for his ten high straight, Doh!
I dont think either of my opponents did anything wrong, except for maybe the call on the end with mid pair in the STT, its just the way the cards want to land.

More proof that live poker is rigged from a pub tourney yesterday. I dealt the first one and benefitted from the second
1. A10 v A9 all in pre. flop 10 8 2, turn 6, river 7 to ship it to the A9
2. AJ v QK all in pre. flop 10 Q K to give AJ a str8, turn blank, river K, full house baby!!
Live poker is great!!

How I wish so many players, particularly online, would read that quote and remember it!!
