Full Tilt river cards chasers!

[ScottyB]

are willing to call bets as big as 3000,3000 then 13,000 chips with out hesition

So we'll say the pot is 3000 when the flop comes out and you bet the pot so 3000 and he calls. Why would yu bet 3000 again on the turn into a 9000 pot now a 12000 pot giving him 4 to 1 on his call? Protect your hand better...you're pricing him in to chase flushes and straights on you.

Hey, so happy you spoke of this! I know logically that the cards run even. However at FTP, its as if they let me win for a day and then...bang... bad beat after bad beat. ex: all in A10 against A8...guess what 8 on the river...KK against 77..he flops a 7. Now there's something new going on...every time I get a good hand and bet strong guess what...I am against AA...yup, Also, 1 day of good cards, and then 50% of my dealt hands have 2s or 3s in them .... I've counted 50% ! This has occered many times and always follows one day of good luck.. I originally wanted to ask if anyone out there thinks that these site are fixed...If the cards run even, what is happening to me is impossible because its the same cydrome in a 5 day cycle for the last 6 months. I hope someone responds, I am trying hard not to TILT ! Thanks, PN

It's just variance. Just because you have the best hand when you get your money in doesn't mean you'll win every time. Keep getting your money in with the best of it and you'll end up on top. I recently went through a cold streak like this for 2 days where no matter how ahead I was it seemed my hands would never hold up. Just keep battling through and keep playing a solid game and it'll even out.

yep, the past week online for me was quite the drag, lost a few hundred, kept getting turned and river-ed. I just tried to keep the pots smallish while still trying to be selectively aggressive. Last night was the break in that chain, hit my hands, started with big PPs, hit sets and some flushes. It was quite the relief, gotta love variance.

Look...this happens all the time! Bad beat after bad beat. As well, I have looked at shark scope and I would say that from all the people I've seen there are about 5% who are actually winning money.
Are we all stupid or is poker alot less skill than the people who sell their books and methods would like us to believe, or are we getting swindled by either the sites or the winners and some kind of cheating software. I love this game and am playing better and better but I am losing more and more....please no on tell me that if I'm losing I can't be playing well. I feel like I should never go all-in. Who here keeps playing because they think one day they'll "get it" and start winning more than losing? This is really rediculous and I wouldn't be surprised if one day there is a "poker site scandel" . I'll keep playing and studying and getting better but I don't think that that day of winning will come...at least not on the internet !

its poker? Like it was said before in this Tread Open another account somewhere else maybe, try there before tilting to FT lol. I got BB's and rivered ACE for a week then I went somewhere else. Better so far... GL

I know it's frustrating but in general I don't mind chasers , even if they do hit sometimes most times they will lose their shirt playing like that , it does suck in a tourney though since you can't keep playing them and get your chips back and then some lol

The other thing is if you do go all in that is the chance you take , all in seems to be a very over used move in online poker , that doesn't seem to happen nearly as much live , gl
