This is related to the nature of the game and the large volume of hands we play in online poker ends up suffering more intensely for these reasons.
The nature of poker is related to the mathematics that surround it, in order to play profitable and healthy poker we must keep in mind that they exist at all times.
below I leave a clear situation of an AA allin vs 72o note that 12.58% is against AA, the nature of the game says that AA does not have all the chips won by the river, we must give up this % against and know that There is a mathematics involved in poker that will only be eliminated in the medium to long term and with the volume of times they happen.
-TIP:
Whenever you suffer from bad beats, remember that they are part of the game and that they will be more painful in the final stretches and final tables, so if they occur at the beginning, don't wear yourself out mentally.

The nature of the game also says in many (tournaments) that over the long term we award prizes in a total of 30% of 1000 tournaments played and if you want we fall in the prize pools in 70% of them.

Everyone has such days, and on such days, each of us has such doubts from time to time. But if poker is your entertainment, then you don't have to take temporary setbacks too seriously :)

If 8 handed in general in poker say I have 13bb and I'm after big blind, so I'm bb next round and I get a4 or a3 or a6 suited am supposed to raise or shove or fold

I think a lot depends on your perception. You remember defeats more often and victories you perceive as something that had to happen. Try to abstract it. Don't think about defeats, just keep playing. Are all poker rooms fair? The answer is “yes” without a doubt. :cool:

When you start losing hands like this, best thing you can do is close the client for the day.

Everyone has bad days, I've also had a fair share of painful beats because they've always gotten there on rivers with 5% or less chances. A chance is still there and it happens.

When I get there, I tend to accept it as a good thing, but when it ain't me who's winning, it leaves a bitter taste but that's how the game is like, luck and skill.
Just got to know when to stop and accept the loses and hopefully the next day it'll be a better day.

Wishing you the best of luck in your future games, Bruno, take care!

I'm losing so many hands that are clearly stronger than my opponent, that I'm starting to question whether this software is even reliable.
In our age of technology. you can't trust any software. You just have to believe that this time you won't be deceived.:)

Yes I would like to know that also! I believe that these online sites just don't feel legit.

I think posting some of these hands that are "clearly stronger

than your opponent" would get more helpful feedback

to your question👍

I thought I saw a mistake at Replay Poker. But unless I save it when it happens, I can't be sure.

I don't spend my own money on the game. And although I also have some doubts, the question of whether to play or not to play does not arise for me :)

Poker is hard and it's in a poker site's best interest to provide you with fair games. They are basically printing money, I'm not sure why they would want to jeopardize that by tweaking the software so an Ace comes on the river when you're all in with KK vs A5o against some random. I don't see any reward for the tremendous amount of risk the site would be taking on by using rigged RNG software. What do they gain by defrauding you that would be worth their reputation and licensing?

Take responsibility for your own game, and it will be easier to see when and where you are being cheated, but again I don't feel the sites have any benefit in having villain suck out on you, crazy ish happens when you run equities and it was just his turn to hit the 2 outer.

Trust it as much as you trust a cat near an open tuna can—proceed with caution and check twice!

What is the point of playing and believing its not trustworthy?

Would you get your hour plastered by someone you didn't trust, or get your bathroom re done, or buy a second hand car? Most likely these answers are no, you wouldn't.

If you don't trust the sites you should simply stop playing!! If you don't trust something, and decide to do it anyway and get scammed.....whose fault is it?

Personally, I trust the sites, I've never had an issue withdrawing, never had an issue while playing, I've seen plenty of crazy beats live as well as online. What would be the benefit to the site of creating this, I don't buy the rake thing.....why would they risk the golden goose for a few more cents here and there??

You can trust yourself at most, but when I play poker, I wouldn't trust myself either. Emotions, excitement, failures, alcohol have a bad effect.

I'd love to hear the explanation (hurry... Google search)
Some people don’t answer donks. Do you feel like a donk and an envy green lost soul?
That would not be fair.

If you do, one could hope you one day will feel like a semi-donk even if it were a tall order to meet. One step at the time. Climb the ladder of self confidence. Reach out for the stars. Listen to the ice bears whisper.

Cheer up. Don’t give up. Be ambitious.
One way could be to broaden horizons. For this task reading “The Idiot” by Fjodor Dostojevskij might do the job.

And try to get your reaction score up. It is not fair, that almost everybody ignores your posts.

Could it be because you have nothing to say. I dunno. I certainly don’t hope so.
