someone please explain

[SuperJon 175]

I hate being the one to complain, but someone needs to explain this to me. I will not say that UB is rigged, but this is ridiculous.In the last 6 sit and gos. I have been beat by the river. Not uncommon, but I got beat a runner runner flush each time. 6 times in a row!!!I get everything in on the flop with a huge advantage, usually a straight against a pair or two pair, and I always lose to runner runner flush. They never have a 4 card flush draw. It's always runner runner. AS soon as a flush card comes on the turn, I know they are gonna get it on the river.

HOW DOES HE DO IT WITH ONLY SEVEN LETTERS?baffles meand yes, i've tried to produce the "no names, it's not in the scrabble dictionary" and then he pulls out the duke version of the scrabble dictionary and proves me wrong

Ummm, how can someone who has over 300 posts bring up the word "rigged", in any context. I would think only a newbie, like myself, would go into that territory. Seriously, I HATE HATE HATE when somebody goes off about poker being rigged. I've had too many arguments with my family and friends about the merits and skills of poker, I've spent way too much time studying technique, reading articles, studying how the pros play, and learning everything I can about the game to hear someone insult and demean the game I love by even half-seriously asserting some poker game or site might be rigged. Anyways sorry if I'm overreacting or being stupid. I didn't want my first post to be of this nature but I had to say something because I really hoped I wouldn't have to see another thread like this. By the way, now that I've finally put forth the effort to sign up for the forums I'd love to contribute as best as I can to discussions involving anything poker. I've been following this site and reading the forums for a long while, and along with the boards of FTR and 2+2 it's helped me become a much better player.

you haven't become a better player, the sites are just being slightly more rigged for you

I know, I alternate between being amused and annoyed when I read one of these threads. I try not to take it too seriously, but it's a just a pet peeve of mine.

I played on UB for quite some time. Really enjoyed it while I was there. However, around mid-june I started having repeated sessions of nasty beats, both in cash games and tournaments. I won't go into stories about my bad beats because no one really wants to hear them. :-) After about 2 solid months of this, I decided it would be wise to just switch sites and play somewhere else. I looked around, found one that looked good (bodog), transfered my bankroll there, and have been playing there since. I did this not because I felt UB was rigged, but because I thought a change would be the best option under the circumstances. I still reccomend UB to many players starting online play and may go back myself someday.First, tell yourself if you really lost 6 times in a row like that. Not saying you are lying, but sometimes people tend to stretch the truth about their "bad beats" when on a losing streak.Second, don't tilt your money away to get it back.Third, if you are really unhappy, change sites. There are a hundred out there. Look at it this way...say you play a live game every other day at the Taj casino. You like it there. Then, after a few months, you start getting cold carded, or getting sucked out on for several weeks. Nothing wrong with getting up and walking to the casino next door for a change of atmosphere.Losing streaks happen. Just don't let them get the best of you.Good luck.
