No doubt we have all been there. I got whacked by a two outer and a 3 outer last weekend in the two SNG's I played and didn't cash. Disappointing. Lots of folks talking about how on-line poker is rigged.
If you watched the WSOP final table, maybe that will help change your mind. I was on Bluff Mag.'s website and I went through both days...hand by hand. I think I've read them all twice. Go take a look at them. For the number of hands that actually make it to the river (a VERY small number overall), here is what I saw: Eastgate with a one outer on the river when he spikes a 6. Rheem gets eliminated with A-K when Eastgate flops a Q (he held A-Q). Montgomery goes runner runner for a straight to KO Marquis who had flopped a set.
My God, Montgomery sucked out HUGE 2 times (once before the final table and once at the final table). For the number of hands he played to the river (a tiny amount), that is staggering.
Before the final table, Marquis hits the 4 flush to stay alive. D. Phillips hits an ace with A-Q when Schwartz has Q-Q.
There are examples of bad beats ALL OVER that final table and with some of the hands leading right up to the final table. And this is in an event where most pots don't even make it to the flop, much less the river.
Contrast that with on-line where most pots are contested (and seen to the river) and where you see many more hands. It's HARDLY surprising you see a decent number of bad beats.
Wake up and smell the coffee people. You know who you are.
