Got agree Donks - just for kicks - I have been observing - the hand suck outs are just incredible (take that back - unbelievable). Time after time the poor SOB who gets in with the best hand - no matter how good - goes down and it always seems to a few select folks at a table. Just watched a hand - guy with AA shoves 5 times BB. One caller - flop is A 10 7 - the caller goes all in and the AA snaps call. His opponent shows 10 7 offsuit. Turn comes 10 and and I say to myself - here it comes - sure as shit - 10 on the river. Guy with the AA goes nuts and eventually leaves. Our hero with the 10-7 wins a bunch of other hands that he had no business winning and I eventually leave having seen htis pattern so many times before. The real shame is this - I love playing poker and fortunately for me I live in the LA area so I can get to a dozen B&M casinos in a snap - so I get to play live about 4 or 5 times a week - do pretty well too. I used to like online cause I thought it was a great vehicle to practice - nope! The patterns are so unrealistic (and they are)that it is horrible for even that purposes (in fact - really started screwing up my live play and I had to detox from it for a few weeks to get my live play back to snuff. I talk to dozens of live players each week who have also abandoned on-line - especially Full Tilt - the business will swallow it's golden egg soon.
