Isn't is obvious? I hold irrational and unproven views. I'm on the vanguard of the ideology so that when it becomes a scandal that "online poker is rigged," I can justify my "I TOLD YOU SO!" with some substance.

Sometimes I wonder(re: thread title). Last night I folded the first 2 hands, would have won with crap. Couple other times I folded early and would've won as well. 5 times I was forced to go all-in with ok hands, won each time.
That's the way it goes though. What bugs me most are the Players who Bet/Raise all the time before the Flop. 75% of the time I leave the table up, 100% of the time those people leave the table down. I suppose they're good for me and others, but most of the time I just wanna see the Flop so I know whether to continue playing or not.
If I have something even remotly good on the preflop, I will usually raise double or triple the bet. The last thing you want is a bunch of stragglers hoping to get a good flop on their 5 2 hand doing exactly what you just described (how you folded and would have won if you stayed in). Heck, I bluff half the time on the flop due to those people trying to limp once the flop is shown and check, betting a small amount to scare them off.
Yesterday I started betting with 100$. Today, I'm now at 650$. Trust me, the preflop game is very important if you plan to come out ahead.

I'm talking about players that just Bet/Raise no matter what.

enjoy it while you can. if you live in the US things are not looking good for online poker with the legislation that was passed Friday. fortunately I live within half an hour's drive of 6 b&m casinos.
I should probably cash out my winnings then. I started with $300 and I'm at about $250 now. As soon as I make that back I'm done.
3 9s is a Bet BIG hand when you have a straight on the board? You no longer had trip 9s...you had a straight, as did everyone else before showing their pocket cards.
stop playing poker. Period.
I'm going to. I just have to win back this last $70 (which I can do if I get some good cards) and then I'm done.
you know the old saying "if you need good cards to win, you suck at poker." something like that....
I assume everyone has said it already..and i am not gonna read it all..but i'll say it again.
1. How did he have quad kings?
2. You had trip 9s...with a straight, and a flush on the board. You could have been beaten by a flush, a striaght, and a full house. Trip 9s sounds good, but on this board its a lay down almost everytime. As it is on the turn I would bet into the pot to see what kind of response I would get, thats really one of the only ways to get info. From there you coudl have seen if you were ahead or behind insteadl of just pushing allin with trips.
3. 6 people in the pot....there are a TON of hands that beat you.
