Paradise is where I started playing online poker, I have had about equal success and failures there.  I have had ALOT of bad beats, but that's gonna happen anywhere, whether or not there are more bad beats than there should be I don't know.
 
I think that most of the bad beats come from players playing hands they "shouldn't" not so much on what the software is.  
 
For example the beat I took that stands out the most in my mind.  
 
Playing a low limit game, I have pocket AA, I raise preflop, 2 people call.  The flop comes no help to my hand but no scare cards (don't remember the exact flop).  One player bets, I raise again another player calls, then the original bettor folds.  The turn comes, is a 2, again based on whats on the board, not really a scare card, I bet, the next person person calls.  The river comes, is an 8.  Again, not much reason for me to think I am beat, I do only have AA but no flush or strt possibilities.  I bet the other person raises, thinking maybe they hit trip 8s I just call instead of raise (have too much in the pot to bail incase they are just trying to take down the pot).  
 
Turn the hands over, I have a pair of A's, they have 2 pair...8's and 2's.  There is no way that person should have been in the hand.  Calling a raise preflop with 8-2 isn't a good play, then to call another raise on the flop with no help at all, and yet again to call a bet with just bottom pair on the turn are just stupid plays.  Granted any 2 cards can win, but there are just some cards you aren't "supposed" to play.
