    Not complaining about this call..just the fact that the low hand sucks out as much as it does.

    The fact that you believe this shows you have no understanding of odds.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    All I do is bet it when I have a strong hand and hope it holds up. If it dont I just try to forget about it and move on. Theres been more than a few when I thought I was ahead when I found out later I wasnt....haha. I lost an all in on a 50nl cash table last week when i flopped a set of J's with AJ and he flopped a boat with J4. Turn and river were 2's so i figured it was a split pot...Not quite.

    Yes, suckouts sting but I've been beating NL2, NL5, NL10,and NL25 over hundreds of thousands of hands dating back to last year. My bankroll has continued to climb. If you are properly bankrolled for the limit you are playing, you can weather the bad beats.

    I have to agree with KRE8R's statement about odds.

    Sat down at a RUSH poker table. First hand:

    SB ($5.40)
    Hero (BB) ($5)
    UTG ($4.45)
    MP ($2.17)
    CO ($2.23)
    Button ($4.98)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A
    UTG calls $0.05, 4 folds, Hero bets $0.15, UTG raises to $0.47, Hero raises to $1.43, UTG raises to $4.45 (All-In), Hero calls $3.02

    Flop: ($8.92) 4, 2, J (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: ($8.92) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($8.92) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Total pot: $8.92 | Rake: $0.59

    Results:
    Hero had A, A (one pair, Aces).
    UTG had A, Q (flush, Ace high).
    Outcome: UTG won $8.33

    I seem to be seeing a lot of these threads where people feel that different online rooms are rigged, which raises the question that Im sure has been asked a million times..."Why play there?"

    There is no need for these sites to cheat you and pay off the lower hand. When you consider the number of hands dealt through these sites in a 24 hour period, the improbable becomes...well...probable!

    Also, I only read the first of your examples, but I think the hand was poorly played in the first place on your part with the weak reraise, so I'd be less concerned with the site cheating you and more concerned with your overplaying while underbetting your AK.

    That was in no way saying you are a bad player or anything derogatory, rather suggesting the possibility that you are getting your money in at the wrong times which puts you in a position to be sucked out on.
