E200 PLO, I have KKJ9 raise pot preflop, flop K high. I get it all in with a guy who has 88, flop K85.

Hits his one outer on the river. Total pot a shade over $500. To a one outer. I'm not sure I can stand many more of these crazy suck outs, i've lost 6 pots of over $300 in the last couple of weeks to rivered 3, 2 and 1 outers. This is the 4th time this year I've lost a huge all in pot to a rivered one outer, total cost about $1,500.

Right, finished whining. I just seem to lose an astonishing number of absurd hands like this, I know I play a lot of tables but... damn, seems almost every time i sit down now i lose to a <3 outer for something big.

I think it's funny how all us silly poker players swear we are the unluckiest

Really though bad beats are SUPPOSED to happen sometimes.

monk, please be honest.....you will never be done whining.

Monk, condolances. Roughly the same happened to me yesterday, albeit on the $50 tables when I held KK65 on a board of K748 and had bet the pot on the flop, and got raised allin on the turn, only to lose to 77 which hit quads on the river. The player did apologize though....

On another note, did you ever calculate how much you lose every month to people who abuse their allin protection? Seems to cost me a bundle...

I hate to say it but sometimes I like it when Monk gets bad beat. Some of the funniest stuff I have read on this board has been Monks rants after getting bad beat. Sorry Monk

You're all %£^&*""%s especially Rhound!

P.S. I hardly ever lose to all-in abusers, so in that respect I'm not too unlucky! I still seem to run into the most absurd beats at times though but perhaps I've been outrageously lucky in other areas, I don't know. I do live in one of the most affluent countries in the world, and I'm physically fit, employed, comfortable and relatively speaking financially quite rich, so.....

At the sake of losing some kudos, I have used disconnect abuse several times, quite intentionally, in my poker career. I did so a few times last year when they introduced it on Crypto for the NL holdem tables and literally EVERYONE was using it. It almost seemed to be putting yourself at a disadvantage if you DIDN'T disconnect on a draw to a big bet, although some hardy souls still played by the spirit of the game. In a way, I blame the sites that won't allow a sensible policy for disconnecting players and thus use a hopeless fudge like allowing DC protects, rather than the players themselves that do it. However, I consider it very bad form to use it, and it does piss me off (nowadays I report people for doing it every time I see it), and personally I wouldn't ever dream of doing it now at any site. Still, doesn't change the fact that some form of disconnect protection is NECESSARY for players like me who sometimes seem to have a flaky connection! Stars have the best approach, IMO, that of allowing a large amount of time IF it's clear that the player in question has lost his/her connection. Anyhow, this is turning into a lengthy rant - the upshot is that I disagree with anyone abusing disconnect protect, and think they actually COST those of us who play fairly good money by preventing most sites allowing disconnects (for instance, at Crypto, if you time out now your hand is folded - this has cost me upwards of $1k over the last 12 months I believe), BUT that sites have to come up with a sensible alternative, and as far as I can see I haven't seen the perfect answer yet.

apparently cunt, a word that is like nails against a chalkboard to every woman I know, is not censored. Discuss!

I can only conjecture that Monk watched Highroller and got influenced by the way Stu addresses his wife during conflicts...

Hey now, lets get this right Tight Wad is Monks wife not me.
