Message: [QUOTE="Beriac, post: 414204, member: 9064"] What I don't understand is why people believe that this is a bad thing. People calling your great hands with crap is [B]great[/B] and the reason it's possible to play online profitably. As great poker players say, you can't get a bad beat if you weren't in there with a better hand and you can't suck out if you weren't in there with a worse hand. So the very act of getting a bad beat means you are potentially more skilled than your opponent and thus destined to take his or her money over time. People complain about bad beats, which I totally understand from a frustration perspective, but over the long-term if you're not getting bad beats then you're not outplaying your opponents. And if it seems like you're taking more beats than delivering them, that just means you're more often in there with the better hand, which I promise you is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
