Poker is funny like that...you can bet big, protect your hand, and win a small pot. Or you can bet to entice a call to build a pot, and win more $. However the more cards that are out there you stand a chance to get outdrawn.

There's times you want people to call, so you can build a better pot, however if there is even a 2% chance that you can get beat, you can't be suprised if you loose, if there's a chance you can loose then it's a chance you have to be willing to accept....that's the game.

Bad players make plays that can win them money IF their cards hit. The odds are against them to win and you make money when they don't. If you can't accept the fact that they occasionally will hit their miracle cards and beat you, than you need to work on the mental side of your game.

Granted we all can get pissed when it happens....but it happens.

The first hand you should have folded the second one was a good play and you got beat by a fish.

Don't feel to bad. Wait till you go all in with $20.00 and get beat by a fish because he rivered to his full house with something like 37 and your holding AA. That's a bad beat. And $20.00 isn't much compared to the hands some people here play.

You really really need to tighten up your game if your playing 37's suit doesn't matter, because theres always someone else out there who will get the flush with a card just above you.

Go hit the books. Bad beats come but since I started on my most recent place seas I'm up from $50.00 to $110.00 in a few nights and thats with some bad beats. The trick is tho that over the long term there are many times when I bad beat someone else, or gain small pots here and there, in the end it should average out.

Also multitabling helps your patience and variance. Playing multiple tables at a lower limit will lessen this as well instead of say playing .05/.10 play 4 tables of .01/.02. This will also lessen the pain when you get a bad beat.

I went from playing .50/1.00 to playing .10/.25 multi-tabling and the results have been great. My downs arn't as bad and my ups are great. You see a good playable every few minutes this way and helps keep you away from playing the poor to sad hands.

its not rigged, you are just a losing player.

We can't say that, at least not about the first part.

This is a tiny site we are talking about. Very easily could rig to build the rake short term. For anybody to say any of the non-established sites is not rigged is pretty ludicrous. 1) Theres no regulation in some countries, so we have no gurantees. 2) Cashing in on an exploding market can lead to such treachery. The possibilty exists. Not saying the smaller sites ARE rigged, just that they COULD be rigged.

I just don't play on sites that I think may be trying to do a hit and run. That said, While I don't have any money on Dream poker, hearing good things about it, I may look into them in the future.
