For some reason people think they can just play the game, like its the same game everytime you sat down. Poker is not a static game nor is it a game of complete information. I do like the remark about chess. Yes, if you want a game that allows the better player to win, then move to chess. There is a basic equation that most people never understand, I guess. The worse the players are, they worse you will get sucked out, because the play cards that completely if not impossible to read, unless you start to notice patterns, etc. Couple that with on-line poker, which turns more than x2 the hands that a live game produces, this equates to a lot of bad beats. So for low limit games, it sucks. I play mostly $10 SNG's two-tables @PS and find them very beatable.
