It's tough to win at Poker when you go on several month long run of losing when you get it in ahead, losing when you're way ahead, losing to two outers and of course losing when you get in behind.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm on a sick run right now......happens to everybody and this will change its course, but I had to blow off a little steam and vent a bit and what better place than a random internet message board!
 
Anyway, not really complaining about things being rigged or shitty play by others.......just BITCHING ABOUT PLAIN OLD BAD LUCK!!!

I flopped a full house in limit, guy chases down the last queen in the deck to beat me on the river. I was like WTF?

Been on a good run, as in pulling down $1k in 8 hours playing 1/2 NL on sportsbook.com poker.....
 
etc etc, in general grinding like i usually do......
 
But the last 3 days......have been god awful......
 
My AA lose to KK.....hit his K  -$200
 
My KK, hits set K on flop.....push guy all in cause i know he has a flush draw , he hits it.....  -$150
 
I have A9, flop 889, river 9...I have 99988 guy puts me all in, i am like shit dude why feed the rake.....he has pocket 1010 and hit 10 on turn......-$150
 
I have KK, raise $12, some ass wipe calls with A6, he misses EVERYTHING on flop.....put him all in, board fills out all CLUBS  I am happy because i have the King of Clubs.....chips go to him, and i am stunned to see his 6 of clubs filled a STRAIGHT FLUSH....-$140
 
I have AA raise $12, some guy calls.....he calls with J7 offsuit and land 8910 on flop.......-$200....
 
This is just in the last 3 days.....I have been playing online pretty successfully for 4 years.....this is the worst run i have ever had.....I led in EVERY SINGLE hand.

Very similar to my results recently.  I have a decent ROI overall, but I know exactly how you feel.  This wouldn't be PokerStars, would it?

Oh...you did say sportsbook.com.  Those damn computer programmers are probably no different that the carnies at the state fair.

Here is one of the sickest hand ever in online poker.  Playing
against an someone that can do anything at any time.  Playing
.50 and 1.00 no limit online.  It is short handed.  I am next to
the button.  I have K J with the J of clubs.  Flop comes K 8 4 all
clubs.  I lead out at it about $4.  It was raised before the flop.  He
raised it.  He calls.  Now on forth street a blank comes.  Like
a off 3,  I bet $15, he raises me all in $20 more, I call.  On the
end a off 6 comes.  He shows me two 6s, without the six of clubs.
 
The only way he could play that hand that way, is if he knew the
six was coming.

lets face it online poker is rigged.  You don't have to travel to a
casino and get on a list.  You don't have to sit next to someone
that is coughing all over you.  So you just sit next to your computer in the comfort of your house and get hijacked.

Or maybe he is just a goofball like 95% of the people that play which is where your profit comes from.

I used to go this site which gave information on online players.  If would tell you if the player is hot or cold and what their average ROI is.  Anyone know the name to the site?
