Everything Sandy mentioned in her message seems like she was on to something because I can relate to alot of the crazy bad beats in odd situations. I have lost tons of money on this site, not because I am a terrible player but because terrible players making insane pre - flop calls when I have the best starting hand and 99% of the time I loose. I don't know if people are cheating online or not but it wouldn't surprise me. I literally feel the same Sandy seriously.
Hi Sandy, Welcome :) I'll try to address some of your concerns: is there alot of people with computer programs that make them win playing? Is it mostly people playing that play for a living? No. The types of programs people use are tracking software which lets them analyze their play and play of others. I'd say the majority of players online are recreational players. This of course is highly relevant on where and the type of games you're playing. If you're sitting...

I'd say the majority of players online are recreational players. This of course is highly relevant on where and the type of games you're playing. If you're sitting at a $5/$10 NL table, you're going to get a lot of regulars. If you're playing 5c/10c, you're getting mostly recreational players.
Not suggesting anything about anyone but seems that a few weird things have happened so far like alot of bad beats, getting disconnected in really big hands, getting quads and straight flushes...ALOT.
The best answer for these types of observations is that you will see almost 300% more hands online than you would in a live game. Everything happens more frequently. The bad and the extreme things stand out in our memory and seem to happen more often than they should.
I didnt get a face card at all the whole entire time...this was the final table for like two hours and the chips just kept circulating among the other players and no all ins to anyone but only to when it came to me and of course i would fold cuz i had crap hands the whole time.
Constructively - I imagine if we were to analyze your gameplay, we would find that your opening range tightened up significantly once you reached the final table. The chips were passed around by players who were remaining aggressive. When you finally moved into the pot, they muscled you out because of how much you tightened your range. This is of course just a general assumption, but typically when things aren't going the way you think they should, the answer is typically found by looking inwards.
Best of luck and I hope to see you around the forum!

Sticking to your strengths is a lesson in poker that I’ve failed to learn over and over again. It doesn’t take a statistician to look at my results and see that the strongest ... more
