I am one to believe that no one realizes the amount of hands per hour you are playing....There are no more bad beats on merge than playing live....you play more hands per hour is the only reason you see more bad beats in online poker...like abwil says above....."the best you can do is stay patient and get your money in good"....sometimes your hand wont hold but it happens on all sites and live.....good luck and stay tight and focused......yodaofpoker
