Hi, I am wondering if any of you have any one site in particular where you get dealt bad beats way more often than at your other poker sites. I have one like that and the players chat it up and act like it's normal to happen on that site. The players play as though they know it to be normal that the underdog will catch his card usually on the river when all the chips are at stake. And sure enough, after 10 months and 100's if not over 1,000 tourneys, the site still treats me like that, quite often I lose to the most unlikely runner runner combos.

Zingbust - sorry not experienced that, I only stick to mainstream providers as an be seen from the homepage. My philosophy is why take unneccessary risk if you don't have to. All the rooms are there to do is provide a level playing field - anything else would turn the game from skill into gambling. I don't play poker to gamble.

Zingbust,

I assume the site you're talking about is Absolute Poker? If not, could you enlighten us which site it is, and why you believe there's more bad beats at this site than at any other you play at? Could it perhaps be because you play at that site more than other sites, and therefore see more hands?

From my own personal experience, nearly every site is about the same in this department. The more hands you're dealt, the more bad beats you're going to have affect you. It's just the nature of online poker.

No, I can't at this time say which site it is because I may decide to hit all forums at the same time with the information I find to be conclusive evidence. It's certainly not Absolute Poker, I've found them to be normal.
