I just played in a tournament. I have AQ in the cutoff blinds are 100/200., I have 2850 in chips I raise to 600. Guy to my immediate left goes all in for 2770. I call (putting him on 1010 or JJ) I call. He has 10 10 (ok it's a coin flip) Flop AQK now, before the turn and the river are dealt, I predict a Jack on the river. What do you think the river is? Exactly!

This is a bad example. I dont think you can blame this on online poker. Basically, you are telling me that if me and you were playing heads up and I went all in and showed you that I was holding any mid to big pair 10's to Q's before you made the call, you would still call knowing that you were beatin already? Bad_dog that makes no sense if you knew he had 10's or J's you shouldnt have called, that was a bad decision on your part because AQ isnt a paired hand the only way you would win is by pairing one of your cards which puts you in a race situation for ALL of your chips while you still had enough chips to last atleast 9.5 times (2850/300) around the table without being blinded out. Why not wait for a better spot to put ALL of your money in. He raised you ALL IN telling you that his hand was better and it was. Calling off ALL of your chips w/ AQ is a bad move pre-flop unless. A) you have your opponent out chipped by atleast 3 to 1 or 9000(you) and 3000(him) atleast here if you just want to gamble/race you can AFFORD too. There are some other reasons I wont discuss, but you being beat here was your fault. The best hand pre-flop held up. A senario in which most people complain about NOT happening the most. Most people feel as if the BEST hand pre-flop should ALWAYS win the pot like AA vs. K 10 offsuit, but we all know that this doesnt happen all of the time. Its not the sites fault because you made a bad move. A pair of 10's is clearly better than AQ, you gambled and lost (like you should have). This is an example were you need to go back and analyze your play and make corrections.

Dude, I never said my play was the right one, but at that point I felt like gambling. When the history of my hands on that site, is constantly J3, J6, 27, 92, K4 etc etc. I felt like that was the time to put my chips in. It's not the fact that I lost, it's the way I lost, with 4 to a str8 on the board again. to say the best hand "held up" would be inaccurate. The fact that after the flop I was better than a 3:1 favorite and lost would prove that.

I must be the most ulucky person EVER, in online poker, just like the rest of the people who are skeptical. Seeing as the last 17 out of 20 tournaments I've played in (not including the one mentioned above) I put my money in with the best hand. Doesn't seem very realistic to me. Not to mention how much I've lost in cash games, with hands like QQ vs K8. Losing 3 hands to quads (playing Omaha) when I've flopped a full house in a matter of 12 hands. I mean seriously man, what are the odds of that happening ONCE? Let alone 3 times in a dozen hands?
That's not odd to you?

Like most of the people on here, I'm not bragging about making shitloads of money playing poker, nor do I have the bankroll to throw in a couple grand, and play at $5-$10 or $10-$20NL.
Please explain why, so many people take terrible beats online, that cease to exist in live games. I'm not talking about people chasing flushes or 8 way straight draws. I'm talking about AA vs 8J. I'm talking KK vs Q6. I'm talking a set, after the flop losing to a gut shot straight.
Sorry, this happens all too often on line. Sure it's poker, anything can happen, but it should NOT be happening at the frequency it does, plain and simple.
