Re: This is why i hate poker.....

You should be happy your opponent is that bad. Tag him and always try to play at his table in the future. You will win with that hand about 2/3 of the time. I would much rather play with horrible players (who sometimes sucked out) than with good players who could outplay me.

Oh i know, I know...

It was just a crazy turn of events i wanted to share

Re: This is why i hate poker.....

61.3% pre flop
90.9% post flop
72.7% post turn

That would be one on one though,one of the guys that folded could've had a queen or ace wich would've reduced your odds but his could've been reduced too.

Re: This is why i hate poker.....

Variance shouldn't matter too much since poker is a game of skill.

In the short run variance matters a whole bunch. I'm a limit player, but the logic is even the best of players can expect to go on 200-300BB downswings due to variance. I've talked to a buddy that sucessfully plays 200-400NL and he has said the same.

Some people think that there are "rakers" or whatever they are called.

EI people who work for Pokerstars or whoever and cheat to win the tournaments then all of the winnings go to Pokerstars instead of another player.

That's BS. The sites have everything to lose and very little to gain. The amount of money they make in rake alone is ridiculous. Additional cash would be small potatoes, nevermind the amount of programming that would be necessary to make that type of circumstances happen (without disrupting game speed).
