In almost all cases, the whiners are tryin to rationalize why they lost a particular hand. They get fixated on the result of a hand (the fact that they lost) and don't take the time to analyze how the entire hand played out. You can play a hand perfectly and still not win the hand; that's poker. As a player, you should only be focusing on the one thing you have control over in a hand: your own play.

In poker, you are playing against your opponents at the table (or in the tournament), not the dealer or the poker site. The site, whether it's PokerStars or Carbon, doesn't care who wins and who loses.
to bad this great knowledge won't be read because the whining won't ever stop
