if you play internet poker ull kno exactly where i am coming from. i play on Full Tilt poker and really like the site, most of the time. a couple problems that i have is all the bad beats you seem to take,i guess the real reason isnt the internet site tryin to rob you of your money but yet its the people that play these bad hands and hit. i sit there and get mad thinkin that the site is robbing me of my winnings but then I settle down to realize some people actually play bad hands ALL the time. i wish there were a way to seperate these players...i wish that fulltilt had a donkey meter bc it really gets old taking bad beats all the time..and i hav also learned from this site that when i take bad beats during the afternoon dont play the rest of the day bc u will only continue to take these bad beats...im new to this site and just wanted to make a post and get out some frustration...thnx to all who read!! happy poker and here is to u NOT taking a bad beat!!!

I play on FUll tilt and I see all kind of stuff happen, you also have to watch how people play and take action and not let it happen let it ride atleast your not losing as much from taking the bad beat. I can pick donk's out from the distance, and sometimes you know every dog has it's day that they get you, so just suck it up.

That may be so, but at least , on FTP I dont have a game with 12000 people in it .There is a round 2700 people in most games. And if there is a bad beat that is because I got impacite or got in a hurry. Sometimrs!

I play on a lot of different sights and can tell you it happens everywhere-even in live games. It's frustrating, but nothing you can do about it. Everybody has their own style of play, whether they're pros or donks. Only thing you can do it OBSERVE and when you get the hand, sting them for all its worth.
