I'm starting to become dismayed by the kind of people who post moaning that their hands have been cracked etc.
That is the whole essence of the game.
Not even agreeing with those who say 'get it in good more often than not and you'll be a winner'. Why does this even have to be clarified? It's the very fabric of the game surely? It's like someone saying 'lots of times the first team to score in a footy match doesn't win'.
Stop it. Man up, accept that this is a game where you draw to make the best hand and accept it. Either that or go play snap.
Also, you moaners need to find a way to beat people who are 'donks'. If you can't beat them, that makes YOU the 'donk'.
Rant over.

Talking of having aces, my Aces cracked hand was put in the poker clinic to get advice from other players. I hope you don't think i'm moaning about it. There's a bad beats section and i've posted once for fun...purely fun. i completely agree with you about the moaning...its called injustice tilt isn't it. Mind, people are entitled as this is a forum just as you are entitled to complain about it. As long as you don't abuse anyone in particular that's fine.
I play for enjoyment personally and don't spend big enough to get upset about it. However some at the same stakes have a go at lucky suck outs/poor plays etc. Thats a hate of mine so i report it as it upsets MY enjoyment. Personally a bad beat story, i don't mind...just like your 16 QQ's...some are interesting.
Players who moan and write comments about their bad beats etc happen to be 'Ordinary Joe's', the same kind that moan about the weather or the price of utility bill's, price of cigarettes etc etc.....it's what we all do at some point or other and it's part and parcel of life.
It's just a release of pent-up frustration when thing's in life get us down or we feel we are getting a raw deal.
Now tell me that you don't ever moan about something...... the fact that you started this thread is also a 'moan' isn't it ?..........let's just all be tolerant with each other, no real harm done aye ?......be happy...:)

So..... we was ALL noobs once, yeah!!
You have to understand that alot of people are recreational players, alot of them play MTTs because these are generally seen as the most fun, alot of them aren't able to or don't even understand the benefit of multi-tabling, alot of them may only play 1-2 nights of the week and may only get 1-2 MTTs in that time. So for a recreational player, who just wants fun, and doesn't understand variance, you can understand why it sucks to only play 1 night a week, and the time you do, you get quite far to get it in with AA v AJ and lose.
Not condoning the moaning, but just let it go, it's not harming anyone.
P.S. Also a bit uncalled for to basically say I'll disregard your input because 'I've seen your play', you're far from a pro (so am I before you say anything lol) and a bit of modesty goes a long way.
P.P.S The fact you got outdrawn 14 out of the 16 times, doesn't mean you played it correcetly, maybe you didn't raise enough pre, maybe you should haev 3bet, maybe you didn't protect your hand on the flop and slowplayed too much, maybe a million and one other things, but without HHs we can't say
The forum's a nice friendly place, let's keep it that way
