I understand 2 live ones and 4 card flushes and straights but I swear to you that 2 outers are hitting 30% against me:shrug: Especially in the $100 tournies:shrug: Not sure what the benifit is for poker stars, but 2 outers hit 10X as much as live game. Is it just me:shrug:

another thing... if you are serious about poker... you've got to think about the long term. The sample size has to be very large to start evening out. How large? hell I have no idea. I quit playing poker because I hated losing these hands.

And when you are running good you don't think about these things. You might hit a couple 2 outters on people and not think anything of it.

I hate poker now! I think the internet sped that process up.

Ask pokerstars to send you the amount of times you have been two outted in 100.00 tourneys. They will set you straight I bet.... I complained to them about running bad one time and they sent me every single hand I ever played, how many times people improved to flushes, straights, etc.... and the numbers were almost all exactly what they should have been.

They put me in my place.....

wow now thats bad, i dont mind the pre flop raise..

Thing is i can see where he was coming from. He was trying to make it seem that he had a small pair and hit a set.. obviously aa and ak are tough hands to get away from. Saw on tv last night.. that guys go broke a lot quicker with high cards than low ones.
