I've been playing at Party Poker for over a year at low limits and turned a profit 13 of 14 months, playing sit and go tournaments and 2-4, 3-6 hold'em. I win by playing solid, patient, tight, aggressive poker. Yes there are many bad beats and more so on-line than in at a card club, but that is because you're are playing against some of the world's worst players, and you're playing three times as many hands per hours as you would live.I was playing at the Canterbury Card Club yesterday and lost with a set of sevens, set of fours and set of kings, all within 30 minutes. Was the dealer cheating me? Does the card club deal suck-out hands to house shills? No. I survived, regained control and ended up winning money on the night.All of you who are complaining need to take a step back and re-evaluate your game. I'm no house shill. I can't see your cards. I am not a bot. I do not work for Party Poker. Yet, I win every month. And I win money from guys like you who apparently don't understand that bad beats are part of the game and you will suffer a lot more of them when you don't know how to play your hands when there is a dangerous board. That's the beauty of Texas Hold'em. Since everyone shares five of the seven cards, whenever you get a good had, it's a pretty good bet the other guy has a good hand too. All those complaining here are the same ones that don't know the difference between an AK and an AJ and will play both the same, or when there is a lot of pre-flop betting they don't understand that your set of 8's can easily be beaten when you have two over cards on the board that could make someone a higher set, or that your pocket aces are in mortal danger when something like AJT flops, etc. etc. and on and on. I'll bet that none of the whiners ever make a tough lay-down when they need to. They just play there second-best hands to the river and whine when they get beat. And that's what makes me money, not some rogue software program or rigged site.
