I was in a Bounty Hunter style MTT and had made it through the first hour with just below average chips. At the start of hour two I picked up pocket 3's and pocket 8's twice, and couldn't manage to win a pot. This was followed by about 20 hands of muck, when I picked up the Rockets.
I put in a standard 3xBB raise, to $300 and got 1 caller. Flop comes down 7c-Qh-2d and my opponent leads out for 3/4 pot - $650. I instantly push all-in, and after about 5 seconds he calls, flipping up Ks-Qd, for top pair, but crushed by my overpair.
He's got 6 outs, with two cards to come - making him about a 25% shot to catch up. However, odds like that do not matter when your playing online poker. Of course, he had me outchipped and, of course, the Kh hits the turn.
It's insane -I didn't slow play, I didn't let him catch up, I played the hand perfectly, got my money in good and still lost. It just helps solidify my firm belief that online poker is completely fixed.
I mean, what are the chances that, at a 9-handed table, the one and only caller I get would have a hand that could beat me. Every single time I get my money in good against a player with a bigger stack, they manage to find the miracle cards that they need to bust me.
I am seriously losing all faith in playing online.
