I'm really not complaining about the luck. I'm actually quite happy with the way I played. I got some good reads and I was able to fold to some monsters pretty well. I'm just not sure if folding KQ (or even J 10s for that matter) is correct in situations where you know there's going to be 3-4 seeing a raised flop, even if the guy with AA is showing you his cards. BTW, 2 5 of diamonds flushed out the AA heads up.
It's the rake that I'm complaining about. I think in the hour I lasted, I payed $15 to the rake. I had to pay a sixth of my bankroll just to have the privilege of sitting in the almighty Pachenga pokerroom. Thanks but no thanks.
Luck is luck is luck. If you can outlast the luck, then the game becomes profitable. I'm quite happy that 5 people are chasing runner-runners, and bottom pair calls all the way to the river "on a feeling". That tickles me to death.
I'm really looking forward to a 3/6 Omaha HiLo with a kill, full of old people, who are the absolute worst poker players in America. I'm pretty sure I could beat the rake on that one...
(BTW, why do so many old people avoid the holdem tables, going for stud/omaha instead? Is it cause they suck?)
