hi all not trying to sound like i am whimpering about the bad beat river cards
but can someone tell me the percentage of your opponent making the better hand than you on the river as this is happening to me 100% of the time whether i have a top straight, full houses trips, or king high flushes. before the river card i am betting high against my opponents to make them pay to see the river card or i go all in before the river card comes always lose the hand please can anyone tell me whether i should just fold the best hand all the time before the river card comes or not ?

    No, you shouldn't.

    Most hands are made on the river because it's easier to make a strong 5 card hand using 7 cards than it is using 6 or 5.

    Well he should, because it's happening to him (being beaten on the 5th street) 100% of the time...
