Default I Have To Vent... Sorry

I hate bad beat posts as much as the next guy but this is ridiculous and a little fishy. These hands were played on th fish tank.com within a matter of 20 minutes of eachother and its fishy for this reason... First hand, I get 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button ( by the way I WAS big stack at the 5/10 nl table with just under $3500) new player posts and is the only one to call my raise to $35. Flop comes 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Beautiful right. No. In the chat box he writes "Hey Fish can I borrow one of your nines?" Im like sure Ive got two. He calls my pot size turn and river bets to spike a King on the river and shwing AKo. Whats up with that??? Should I be worried he sees my cards or what? To further puzzle me, over te next few hands I lose ALL $3500 when...

1) His K 10, beats my 8 10 when we get it all on the turn with a board of 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
He needless to say spikes a K on the river.

2) His A 8, defeats my A 9 when an 8 spikes the river... again.

3)The final kick in the nuts comes when after all of this madness ensues I push preflop after his raise to $35 and 3 callers with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and it folds to him who calls with ready... 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Ill let you all guess what the flop was since I am writing this post.

Just one of those days or what? Hope all of your cards fell better. Seriously though, whats with his comment about those nines? He doesnt seemto be a great player especially considering he always got lucky and had his money in when it wasnt best. I LOVE this game. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

No true holdem hero has to whine about bad beats.

I got all in with someone for 4k (5/10 NL borg) when I had 88 and they had 33 on a 983r board. He spiked a 4th 3 on the river, reload, move on. No one likes listening to bad beat stories.

there's no reason to flame you for sharing misfortune. i'd rather you do that than hear on the news that you went Leatherface on your girlfriend after she reminded you of a dinner date at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles.

i lose more hands on the river to the worse hand than any other street and it happens alot. i used to write them down everytime it happened, then i stopped. why? because you're not gonna convince anyone that online poker is rigged and writing down how many river beats i sustained was not gonna bring the hands back. henceforth:
