There was absolutely no point betting the river there

It is not rigged.

I just won 81Gs this past Sunday and I am just a regular player like you. Things happen that go against you and you think it is rigged. Maybe you are not as good as you think you are and are putting yourself in positions where bad beats happen frequently.

Hum you should be suspicious when he calls the turn when ur giving such bad odds to chase a draw. More likely he already had a hand or he was on a complete float to bluff on the river but the last is probably too advanced for $1 SnG players lol

@kingcityguru Yes it is. Everyone knows it's rigged, only it's rigged to deal bad-beats equally among the players. It's also rigged so that the good players win and the bad players lose, and to spot cheaters if they're winning too many pots.

You didn't know the players yet, which is fine. But you have to assume that when he calls your big bet on the turn he has a hand. You can rule out sets, because they would have raised, but you have to assume you're beat. The river was your fatal mistake. You were out of position, and an all in there is only getting called by a hand that beats you. I don't mind your play other than shoving the river. That's what killed you.

bad luck, not bad play

didn't play it that bad, that's the thing about poker, it is very difficult to know when you play well or when you're not playing well, because you're opponent could have anything. There was a time when every time I lost I thought I played bad, these days I tend to not care about losses, this is gambling, but you just try to have a little better odds than an average player you play against like a casino does

I think a big mistake was playing a big pot out of position. You kept saying you thought he was on a draw, and you could have been right. The problem is that because you have to act first, you cant really know if he made his hand or not. Its just very tough to gauge the strength of your opponents hand out of position, so generally avoid playing big pots there.

200 would have bn a better bet... punish drawss..

this isnt a bad play.. only ur out of position... and dont know much about ur opponentss... other than that its not a bad play just impatience...

Your mistake i guess is out of position.. dont know ur opponents.. and..

No way I'd play so aggsessivly AQ off with a suited flop, but anyway..about if it's rigged... you stop and think for a while when you play other poker sites and notice that it's just not the same.. and is it strange that so many people feels the same way
