There's been some tough beats for quite a few of us lately by the looks of things including me.
Downswings can be very tough to take and we do tend to see many more bad beads, loose calls etc at 6max online than we ever will in a live game 9-10 handed. we are also involved in more hands, so maybe its just more noticeable or maybe it is because we do tend to get drawn into more hands online in 6max games than we ever would live?
There are some very inexperienced players on here and in online poker in general, but Sky seems to attract it's fair share, however, this is really the kind of players we want to be playing against, we just need to find a way to dodge the bullets, find better spots before risking all our chips and limit the risks of losing our stack to the loose callers & stations.
Try to accumulate a stack by controlling the pots & keeping the pots smaller, don't over inflate pots unless you are happy to risk your stack to a bad beat or a loose call. Once we have accumulated a stack, we are then in a position to absorb a bad beat and hopefully recover.
Guys I know this is not really the place to post but I am so sick of the horrid bad beats today I have just put some of the worse here, Posted by guardsman1
yeah - some sick beats there - always frustrating when they shouldn´t be in the pot and then they overtake
only advice i would make is not to limp in as much. avoid playing the hand, or raise and take it down pre, is better than going ahead on the flop and behind by the end. (and yes i am nit-picking, not a lot you can do against villains like that). example AT oop - bin it or squeeze pre - never just make it up
genuinely sorry about the SPT semi hand. only one seat so i am always going to be a bit aggro, and you 100% had to call with a 60/40, i was just lucky not to be dominated i thought. sick for me to win it with runner runner flush though, just to turn the knife on your day. it helped me take the 2nd place cash though so thanks for that.

Hi Chris. Thank you for your interest in joining TPT (Team Poker Titans)
I will add you to the list and send you a PM soon.
Nice cashes guys - nothing to report from me......
Decided to get rid of a bit of "Bad Beat" frustration last night....Entered a few low stakes tournies and splashed the chips around for fun with no real intention of winning, it was just for a bit of fun and to let off a bit of steam.
It did make me realise just how bad some of the play is at low stakes and players were willing to call off their whole stake with complete garbage, it was deffo entertaining & amusing.
But, the fun is over and it's back to the real grind tonight......So Look out people
