Play a good online hand aggressive and some moron will suck out a big pot on the turn or river and and then talk smack. Then you hang tough and the moron that sucked out ends up playing stupid hands and is busted out because the play he got lucky with me hasn't worked in about an hour. Well....I'm getting shorted on the ying and way to much yang. It seems my good pots are getting out numbered by my bad beats. What took me hours to build up with small pots gets wiped out when someone calls and is way behind and ends up winning.

I have been keeping track and I have had pocket pairs with a set on the flop beat by a gut shot straight or flush on the river 23 times in the last month.

I know it's gambling, but in poker at least you can draw on experience and figure out some sort of odds on the win/loss. Getting called by a player that has a 2% chance to win and pulls it out his ass is very aggrivating. If losing hands to players with a small percentage to win was tracked I'd be at about 75% on that one.
