ok... anyone else find more bad beats at ULTIMATE BET than others?

[menthemaster]

ok.. i am the last person to blame luck... or cheating.... or anything like that... but for the last few months... i have gotten soooooo many bad beats at ultimatebet.

meaning ... lower pocket pair ALWAYS makes a set.... (most of the time on the river)


this is just happended to me when i lost with aces... to trip 7's on the river...

and yesterday... when i had AA vs. KK (on the river he gets a king)


both times.. these were over 200 dollar pots...



now i know it is just luck..... and all that stuff.. but just wondering if anyone else has seen this more often on one site than another?

i told myself that if it happened again today i would stop playing on UB.. because it happens so much....


and sure enough... an hour into my session it happens.

UGH.... thats my rant for the day.

no. i think one of the major leaks in the two plus two community is that posts like these surface on an almost daily basis. this has been discussed so many times before and there is no real evidence supporting these claims. not to be rude.... but it is true.

Unfortunately, anything can happen in the short run. In the long run, the cards will fall as probability dictates, but the long run is very, very long indeed. Some people will see disproportionate bad beats at UB, others will see them at Party, still others will see them at Stars. And other people will enjoy astonishing at those sites. For a while, anyway....

Also, remember the role selection bias plays. When you get hit by a bad beat, such as someone rivering trip 7s to take out your pocket rockets, you remember that! You may not think twice about the times your As hold up, because that's what "should" happen; but when they don't, you feel somehow cheated, and it sticks in your mind.

Variance is a b****, I'm afraid.

i know it is all even in the long run.... and i play at about 3 different sites daily.....

i have had a ton of bad beats.... at UB... but i know it is all just random... so i continued to play there... but it seems to happen everytime....


i have taken bad beats at every site.... and in live games.... no worries... i am just stating that at UB it happens more than other sites... and wondering if anyone else noticed this?

either way.... i am done wth UB. i love their software... and game selection.... but it is just not worth the bad beats.

call me crazy.. but that is just the way i feel.

How come we never see the posts from the people that say UB (pick your site) is amazingly lucky for them. I've had my share of "bad" beats, but I've also had my share of river sets and gutshot straights. I've seen all-ins on the flop switch leaders on every street. I busted aces full with quads.

I think a lot of this is selective memory - since the "bad" beats are so negative, you remember those as bad luck, but when you win one, it's all skill.

Seriously.

You're not crazy, just irrational.

UB is by far the fastest site out there. If you play X hours on UB, you will be dealt far more hands than when playing for X hours on any other site. So you'll also be dealt more "bad beats."

I really doubt it, considering I just got bounced from a UB sit n go when my somehow my QQ failed to spike a third queen and lost to AA.
