Default Re: ok... anyone else find more bad beats at ULTIMATE BET than others

I haven't played much at UB, but I doubt that it is much different than Party, Stars, or Paradise etc.

The posters above all make good points but one that hasn't really been stressed is that with all the new players flocking to the on-line game over the past few months it would make sense that you notice more "bad beats". These newbies are going to the river with anything (thank god) so the possibility of them spiking something (2 pair, trips etc) is definitely there. A year ago you probably wouldn't see nearly as many people taking small pocket pairs to the river against bets and raises like these guys do.

I think you have to take the good with the bad. Be thankful that these new players are so loose and pay you off so often . . .and then just smile and shake you head when they win a pot that they had no business being in.

As someone said above : Variance is your friend. She's a bitch . . . . but she's your friend
