AA KK QQ.
Whenever you get one of those 3 hands, two other players will indefinitely
have a pocket pair as well a large percentage of the time. And you'll know
by the way unless you are first to act because the betting will start getting
really big pre-flop. This scenario happens very often. I would say that 40%
of the time that 1 of the 2 smaller pocket pairs will flop a set (Three of a
kind.)

I just took a quick glance at that e-book, but i must say it looks to have some very powerful theories. You can't argue with the math.

knowing is half the battle....

You preflop call is fine, your flop and river call is horrible.

I used to play at Party too. I wouldn't say I am a great player; but I'm definitely very good. I have experienced these "ups and downs" as well and I agree with you...when you play as good as I (or apparently you) do; you should keep winning; not win some then lose some.

I went through all of this just a few months ago. I'm going to tell you what I did.

I stopped playing at Party. Those cheating bastards have gotten the last of my money (except I still go back for reload bonuses).

I moved over to Empire poker and no longer experience the high volumes of suck outs and long shot bad beats. I've got about 10ooo hands there; and my results have been nothing like they were at Party.

So, that's my 2 cents. If you make the move to Empire; look me up; I'd love to sit at one of your tables and watch you whip up on the fish.

I'm afraid there is nothing we can do but seek out his games because he doesn't seem to like money.

Peace,

i used to believe empire was on the level until i was playing there the other day.

I had aces in late position, open raised, fold to BB who 3-bet i cap we see a flop...long story short he takes it down with 83o heads up.

Now if that isn't the pattern mapping antics of party i don't know what is. Eric may be correct...the similarities between these "lucky" streaks players have at empire and party seem to be increasing.

is it safe anywhere?

I think you need to recheck your facts, pal.

I've played at both SEPARATE sites and I think you are confused about something.

Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
