The only good thing about a Bad Beat is...

putting one on somebody. Other than that, I think my dog can attest to all the bad things about a bad beat. He has learned to crawl under the bed every time he hears me say "Muther Fu**er".

putting a bad beat on someone is fucking gay, because it means you put your money in with the worst hand, and you dont deserve to win. theres nothing good about that...

the only good thing about a bad beat is knowing that you made the right decision, and the other person did not. if that continues, you will come out ahead, not only in the long run but generally in the short run as well.

i generally dont like giving bad beats, because it meant i screwed it up sometime earlier in the hand.

it seems like i get bad beat A LOT more often online than in person

i don't bad beat people that often because i usually don't play bad cards, or make bad calls (yes i am perfect

)

i would assume that you get bad beat more often online only because you play more hands online.

everyone remembers their bad beats, so if you play a 3 hour session online, and play 150 hands, get bad beat three times, it gets remembered very differently from playing three hours b&m, playing 75 hands, and getting 1 or 2 bad beats.

Yea, I agree. Things are so much faster online so it's only natural to remember more bad beats from it.

because you play more then double the hands online then you play in person think about it.
1. dealer dosent have to stop to cash someone in.
2. dealer dosent have to shuffle.
3. there is a timer online etc etc etc

thats same reason u will see more quads, flushes and all those crazy hands online but i can tell you one thing you all are playing the wrong limits anything under 3/6 is a losing game.

I have winning stats over 25K hands with 2/4 and under. As a matter of fact my 2/4 stats are some of my best, 4.89 BB/100. I think you should just play your best game on each level and you will win. Play whatever level your bankroll can afford.

I kinda enjoy it sometimes when I am a major underdog not knowing it and pull off a victory on the river. Ie by beating his two pair by pairing the board.
