|
| Every time I play a sit and go, and even in normal games, it seems everyone is going in with crap hands. Then out of nowhere, they will pull a low straight on the flop or the turn. Straights are not common hands, they shouldn't be showing up this often. |

| I'm suspecting you've only seen this happen a couple of times but because they are significant pots, they stick in your mind distinctively and it seems people are doing it quite a bit. I also bet that it's not happened more often when you've had a better hand and because you won it fairly, it doesn't stick in your mind. It's just a good hand for you. |

Didn't you get the memo? They've started rigging those pots to increase the rake. Before the rigging, the SNG pots were a very poor source of rake income for FTP. |

| In the last SNG I played, the first 3 out of 6 hands were low straights. I'm not complaining as much as I'm wondering what the hell is going on. |

hehe, Zuchov.
Nothing is going on - three straights in a row is not tremendously likely, but the chances aren't that remote either. Remember, if you play enough, you will see every horrible combo of cards/bad beats possible. |

| Just shut the f*** up. The world of poker doesn't revolve around you so quit thinking that you should never be confused or should always have a complete understanding of how poker works. It's never going to happen so learn to deal with it or at least e-mail full tilt support and have them start a new forum for cry asses like yourself. I don't get upset often but there have been too many posts of this nature all because some ppl think they never deserve to lose a pot and it gets annoying after awhile. |
