We'll have to start a bad beats thread.
In the tournament I got 36 out of 400+ last night I had 18th highest chip stack before I went out - went all-in with KK and my opponent came up with A-10os - an ace came through for them. Not a bad beat - pretty fair race imo - but would have put me in a bloody good position in the tournament if I'd won it.
Oh well - all I can say is next week is set up for you as per request
As someone else suggested Ongame sites such as pokerroom, or Bwin will let you set up your own tourneys without needing special access.
Unfortunately most people prefer to play at stars
KK against A 10 you are a big favourite preflop probably 70% so you were definitely unlucky there assuming you were all in pre flop. I did $50 in a cash game tonight i had the full house beaten by 4 of a kind but to be fair he was ahead the whole way. 99 V my 45 suited. called his 3Xbb raise heads up pot i had position. flop 4j9 he check i bet half pot he raises double my bet i call. turn is a four i think i'm ahead but i'm not. he checks i bet half pot he calls. river is a 9 so i've hit the boat and old mate has hit his four nines in goes all the money bet, raise, reraise, all in, call. bad read by me i suppose a raise of 3 x bb preflop from mid position is quite appropriate for a pair of nines. i put him on A J after he called my bet on the flop.

woohoo - scored 4th place out of 369 starters in a $5.50 tournament. Was chip leader for quite a while and should have been able to place better but still my best result so far.
In terms of shuffling algorithms - you see it all in happen live play as well in terms of what comes out of the deck so I wouldn't necessarily blame the shuffling algorithm. Online you play a lot more games so you see a lot more stuff but live games deliver plenty of unexpected outcomes as well.
If there's people colluding in a game I guess that just adds to the challenge. They still don't know what your cards are but yeah if there's 4 people colluding against 1 then they've got a big advantage in knowing more about the cards that aren't left in the deck. I can't really see this happening so easily in a tournament though - they'd all have to end up on the same starting table - it'd be easier for them to do it with cash games imo.
as long as your having fun then that's all good.
I'll be definitely up for that!
I used to have a game with regular poker players but one of them dropped out and then we didn't have enough players to keep it running but if a few members here want to have a game then i can get it running again.
Based in Melbourne Western suburbs. $20 per game, gets you about 20-25K chips. No re-buys. Money is usually split between 1st and 2nd (3rd gets their money back if there are plenty players). Games usually last about 2 hours so even if your not that good, $20 for 2 hours is good value!
Just let me know if your serious about having a game.
Some of these online beats are really starting to get to me now!
Grinding away, waiting for the great hand to play, and then you get burnt cause they hit some BS straight or flush on the beat!
