subject: Back to basics with bad beats and online poker [print this page] Playing online poker affords different opportunities to different types of players and while we are seeing many young hot dog players emerging from the popularity of this game, it also allows semi-experienced players to become more experienced at their game. It is a strange way to play what is essentially a social game and this means to some degree it has to be taken from a different view point. If you seldom get to play in casinos, playing poker online is still a good way to practice, although you may experience some craziness.
There is a whole gamut of craziness which takes place at online poker tables daily and this allows for a lot of bad beat wins. This can discourage a player who might normally be good, but perhaps not of the right ilk to play online. Don't be discouraged by losses and give up the game if you fall into this category, just try to get your head around the way some daft online poker players play. It is no good getting frustrated if you have all the necessary tools to win, but don't.
There is no apparent reason why some poker players, play the hands that they do. This is just the way of the world! Strange flops take place, sometimes even back to back, some idiot manages to get away with something that is totally out of line and you may even be haunted by cards that you never normally see. The more poker you play, the less surprised you will be. If you believe there is something fishy going on such as collusion, this could be the case, but is doubtful.
Make a case and call in a complaint, this is how one of the big brand poker sites recently got caught out. They had to pay compensation to players at their site as they did not have the necessary precautions in place and some Chinese players went ape with collusive tactics the site was not cheating. It is highly unlikely this site will be caught out again and other big brand names will have taken note. Paying out millions of dollars in compensation is not something they all want to have to do.
Online poker players, in particular if they are new to this game, often express concern at the way the game turns out. Hard liners and experienced online players find these happenings run of the mill. Just because a move seems bizarre does not make it an act of collusion or a rigged game. It may be shocking to you but you will probably find that an experienced online poker player would only find it mildly interesting. So there is a different set of bad beat ideals and it is for this reason that online poker sites often offer bad beat bonuses.
If an online casino wanted to cheat its customers, they would certainly not send in bizarre or run of the mill plays. Passive, by the book poker, is not the same as playing online poker it is more typical of the way that poker is played when you play in California, and it is difficult when you don't have the visual aid of seeing the person who calls the bets.
