I used to win regularly at BODOG, for a couple of years. The winning slowed since Ignition? bought them out. This past calendar year goes waaay beyond any variance that we all experience playing poker. I've lost 3 straight situations of going all in as a 91% favourite! In between those all ins, I've "missed" 7 straight ten plus out draws and have had KK vs AA or QQ vs KK 5 times!!! Like I said this is waaay beyond any poker variance!! Is there any way of posting my hand histories on here? Anything you mods can do? I'm done with that site, I'm just posting this as a warning to my fellow players to stay away from that site.
Not specifically me, but I've never seen such "variance" in over 20 years of playing live and online! I mean 7 straight "missed" double digit outs draws, while my over pocket pairs routinely get beat by lower pocket pairs! Does anyone know of any other anonymous poker sites? I'm done with Bodog!
My BAD BEAT story and why I will NEVER play poker again.
Was a no limit table.
I get dealt A-Q spades suited, and Im the small blind
Guy before me raises, I re-raise, everyone else folds, and the original raiser calls.
Flop comes, Ah, Ad, Qh..... he bets.... I tell him I am going to go all-in, and I decided to have fun and tell him, "Pick one of my cards and Ill show it" so he takes up on it and picks one, its my Ace... so then I say "All in" and push... he thinks for a moment and calls... We both flip... He has 7d and 7s..... SERIOUSLY!!!???
Turn - 7c
River - 7h
I get up and leave immediately, and have never played again... this was about 6 years ago

Just to gain some perspective. Even with double digit out draws, most will be less then 50%. Even if you were exactly 50/50 to win the hands "7 straight" is a drop in the bucket in the world of variance. Even just flipping a coin enough you will see head 10-15 times in a row more often then you would think. Just walk around the casino roulette section and look at he number boards, you will see 7 in a row all the time.
