Online Poker Forum - Any ideas on what to sacrifice to appease the Poker Gods?

I don't know what I've done, but the Powers that Be have decided that's it's funny to see my butt kicked lately.

I can't seem to do anything right. I steadily get garbage hands, but when I do get a decent hand, someone gets a better one.

In the past two days I've had a full house beat by quads, a full house beat by a bigger full house, pocket kings beat by pocket fives (he caught a set on the river), and many other hair pulling defeats.

The river has become my enemy, today alone I had the best hand till the river at least ten times.

Of course, to add insult to injury, I've also folded pocket rags only to see a full house, straight, or flush flop or fourth street more than once.

Now, I will admit that in a couple of these beats, my play probably could have been better, but it's hard when you're getting freezing cards and you finally see something worth playing in the pocket.....

I don't know, I just wanted to whine a little.

But, if someone does have an idea, or a rabbit's foot to sell me?......

I don't mind people just whining. But please... I don't want to see any mention of the word 'rigged'...

Vestal Virgins ... you're bound to run into a few underage players that would fit the bill.

Three live chickens must be sacrificed to the poker gods or you could slip the ftp staff a couple c-notes.

A rigged theorist? It may not make your cards any better, but you have to admit it would be a little therapeutic.

Sacrifice your dignity. Your whine thread is a good start.

GL on the felts.

The only sacrifice is your bank account!

pssst- I heard a rumor that the poker gods are actually Lovebeefstew's parents.

There is proof----- OPR or Sharkscope Lovebeefstew, see how good he runs both on PS and FTP

I have personally watched him ship a tournament by shoving 44 into KK (iirc), that's how retarded he is- but mom and dad didn't dissappoint, he spiked his set and crippled the dude. I have also had a runlike god heater while I was banging his Mom ( for a short time until his dad found out- then I ran like crap)

Please ship 70% of your monies to Lovebeefstew. He will take his parents to a nice dinner and try to make ammends for whatever you have done to anger them.

LBS, if ANYONE ships to you for this, I get 50% obv

Thanks for the ideas, but it turns out that all it took was the dignity sacrificing whine on the internet (like Alex said above), I took second in a 45 seat sit-and-go last night for a decent little cash (emphasis on the little, im still in the micro stakes league).

I'm not one to cry "rigged," but really in the end, how would we know? We're putting all our trust in the site's integrity....

But that being said, I've seen enough crazy beats in live games and on tv to know that that's just poker. Hence the old saying: "the luck of the draw."
