Party vs Stars

[Jason Strasser]

$200 SNG.

Dealt to strassa2: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Blinds 50/100 I have 1500. I raise to 300 button calls.

Flop KJ5 all diamonds. I push, he calls.

Turn: J, river 2.

JJ for quads takes it down.

Wawawawawa. Open up the next table lets play some poker. They are so normal now that I don't even blink. You can't bad beat be to any degree now that I'll spend more than 2 seconds thinking "wow", unless we are talking about something towards the end of a multi.

The easy answer to your question is no. Bad beats are everywhere. The cards are random. This stuff happens, sometimes in bunches. You've put horrible beats on other people as well. I put them on ZeeJustin all the time!

I don't think it's the site, I think it's the nature ofthe game. I have the very same experiences on UB constantly. All-in preflop with KK vs JJ; AKs vs. AQo; AJs vs. K7o, etc. etc. etc. And these are all in tourney's with $100 + buy-ins just from this week-end.

Not a joke. Party players please respond. Is there the same idea on Party that the worst hand wins more often?

I don't think my cat can take another kick across the room. (j/k, don't even have a cat, and it's a good thing I don't).

It's not Party or Stars. Paradise has the worst beats. At least according to some of the people who have been at my tables.

Cracks me up, the site that deals the worst beats just happens to be the one you're playing at that moment. Drives me nuts too, but I'm learning to deal with it.

i agree w/ the rest, sh_t happens everywhere.. but i think party is softer, if you practice patience and dont risk all your chips too often, you can do well. i played heavily this weekend and suffered little bad beats, and finished ITM more often than not.

reading posts from this site has helped my game unmeasurably.. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

bad beats don't just happen on stars...KK loses elsewhere too.

During a home tourney, every time KK showed up (4 times), it was beaten. Three of the four were by QQ.

Must be something shady going on for that to happen

[tripdad]

the worst bad beats come not on Party....not on Stars, but rather in my home game. i consistently get my money in as the preflop favorite, and i get sucked out on more than anyone else there. what's more, i very rarely win with a suckout against my opponents. i love it!(because i keep track of results, i know i have out-earned every other player there 3 times over)

cheers!

AA will lose to 77 20% of the time and every time it will sting. The other 4 times, you will experience a brief sense of relief that your hand held up and 2 hours later after your fifth overpair of the tourney gets cracked for the first time by an underpair, you will have forgotten the all of AA vs. 77 wins.

FWIW, KK will lose QQ almost as often.
