Default Why is it possible to get runner runner cards to win?

Seriously. I am completly dumbfounded.

Perhaps it is my skills that don't allow me to grasp the concept of calling down with garbage

Are there people who exist, who feel, even at higher limit poker that calling down 2 random cards and hitting gutshot gutshot runner runner straight draws are worth shooting for?

Alright so I got bad beat by are few 1-33 shot drawouts, the post isn't asking for sympathy, I am serious interested

Do enough people exist in the world to call down with such grabage and hit such rare and unbelievable draws or do they just know what cards are going to come?

Yes, these people exist...and thank God for them. Your job would be much more difficult without them.

That's what I always hear. But from what I've seen it isn't really true. Yes, the odds and such dictate that you want these types of calls. But when one of these luck-sacks is catching his runner-runner crap, it seems to go on forever. You SHOULD be winning, but he just keeps on catching those miracle cards. Then, the luck-sack goes to another game gives away all of the money he took from you to another player.

I don't care what anyone says... It's frustrating as hell when someone constantly sucks out on you. The notion that you actually want them making those calls against you isn't very comforting when he's counting your money.

If you are playing at a level appropriate for your bankroll, then this should not be a problem long term. But if those suckouts endanger your roll, then you need to drop down in limits.

I'm psychic to the point to where I can't say what the next card will be, but I CAN tell you what it won't be.....whatever it is I need to fill my hand.

They obviously know what cards are coming. Do you think these people wwould step into the path of a speeding car if they didn't know it would swerve and miss them at the last moment? Why do you think people win the lottery? They know what numbers will be drawn for the jackpot.

Although these type of people with psychic powers are somewhat rare when you encounter one or more at your table you might as well either just hand them your bankroll or get up and find a softer game.

You don't need to be psychic, you just need a pattern map.
