Are some luckier than others?

[madjek]

I feel like I am constantly being knocked out of tournaments with the best hand and while like everyone, I occasionally win with worst hand, it appears to me that certain players are constantly winning with bad hands, especially when they are really short stacked. So I am going to keep track of hands I lose when I am well ahead when all the chips go in. I will also keep track of the hands that I win when way behind. There is no purpose to this other than to have something to do after these hands other than beat up my computer and check to see how high my blood pressure has risen (maybe i'll post that also, ). Really just want to see if its just that I only remember the bad ones, as everyone always seems to suggest.

Hands won when way behind (when most chips are in pot already): 7
Hands lost (same criteria): 4

This is every Asian person I have ever played at a casino.

I think I'm lucky very lucky my big hands hold up a lot and Ive been known to get lucky on the river. I guess all what one can do is try to get it in good or at least have a handful of outs.

Everything is back to normal now. Last tourney I lose 10 10 to 77, 7 on river, then get knocked out with KK to A7, love the way people play A rag like its the nuts. Also in same tourney I see AA lose to 33 and one other 2 or 3 outer I can't remember, so everything back to normal in client, dominated hands are dominating again.

Dude you wanna know who is the unluckiest poker player ever? Chances are it will probably be the person who you ask....

That is so fucking true. I saw a man of unknown asian origin win a $400 pot playing $1/2 at the horseshoe holding 2 7 off. He called a 5 bet of $70 preflop and of course flopped a full boat. The guy who 5-bet was holding AA and of course got destroyed. Meanwhile the Asian guy just sat there like he had done that before which i am sure he had. Cuz who the fuck calls a 5-bet of 35x BB pre flop holding that shit. Charlie does. That's who.

Its a program and either it lets you win it or not.
