everyone knows this quote: In "Confessions of a Winning Poker Player," Jack King said, "Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career."
This is true and obviously it's a lot easier to say this when you're playing online as well. Think about it when you're playing live, you see about 25 hands an hour but when you're playing online you can be seeing 500 hands an hour depending on how many tables your playing. That means you're seeing 20 times the beats as you're seeing 20 times the amount of hands. It gets extremely frustrating and we've all been there and talk about how everything is rigged. but think about the actual odds if you are constantly getting your money in and you keep winning, you don't think wow i am running extremely well, you just think that's supposed to happen but the fact of the matter is; you are running good if you never get sucked out on. Michael Jordan shooting a free throw is like having aces percentage wise heads up against a hand, but no one was flipping out and throwing their remote at the tv when he missed, it's just supposed to happen sometimes.  |
