I play a lot live in the UK and the US, and have seen a lot of strange things. BUT online poker is definately stranger. Flushes and str8s are classed high hands because they dont happen often. And yet once I had withdrawn a large win from a UK site (ladbrokes) I start losing despite playing in the exact same style as before. pocket kings, flop 597, all in, three opponents call... they all have ace high... two cards to come... A on the river... had to be.... next 5 games.. beaten in the exact same way.. solid cards defeated by lesser cards, against the odds.... ok, so thats poker right.... except.. I switched and used my GF's account who hadnt played much, and immediately started winning.. no change in play style... dipped back to my account again, axed out of that game with pocket king's, flop 2k3 , two players called one with ace high, the other with 3's and an ace kicker.....guess the turn, guess the river. The odds of that happening are immense. and had it been a one off, I could beleive it bad luck... The interesting thing is, that my GF's account is still lucky.... now I wonder what happens if I withdraw that cash?
