For anyone who has tried playing online poker had for sure experience this kind of situation where someone seems to be too good in the game and someone is playing effortlessly but at the end still wins no matter what. Often, this situation results to a chat window full of people complaining about something's wrong with the game, for it will never happen in the real life poker.
Is it true though? Do the odds of online poker games play out differently than they would with a real deck in the real world? Or maybe those players making the lucky draws are actually cheating. Many are tempted to pick on that last idea, figuring it's the best explanation as to why they keep losing. Of course, no one ever wants to consider the idea that maybe they just aren't that good or that their luck has simply run out.
Since online poker is just a poker game done in the internet where the players log on to their computers to participate in the game, moves and rules done in the game are also the same. Though one is done in the real world and the other on the virtual world, nothing changes the fact that both deals with poker and they will follow the same guidelines that are needed in the game.
There are reasons though as to why there seem to be more bad beats when playing online. The big one is that there are more hands being played. The rate of play in an online poker room is usually double that of a game in the brick and mortar world. A lot of the time it's even more than that. In an hour of online poker you may see more hands than you would have after a few hours in a casino.
A statistics showing that out of ten hands playing, one will end up a bad beat is very possible on online poker. This shows that online poker game players are more prone into bad beats. Compared to playing in a casino where one bad beat an hour is likely to occur, having it online doubles or even triples the unwanted chance.
Bad beats are also inevitable in internet because more and more players themselves are willing to take the risk of losing. Some knows the risk already but still decides to continue in the game but there are also those ones that don't even know the risks that they are getting involved to. They must just be considering the fact that playing online has less pressured compared on playing it in the real world.
Poker rooms are known to be expensive, that's why many people considers online poker as better option considering the fact that it's more risky. The money that they may spend on paying poker rooms alone may already be used as an additional bet on the online game.
There is also the simple psychology behind this that makes people willing to believe that they are being cheated. At a real poker table there are dealers and players and physical cards, and our brains can process this quite easily. Online though none of these things actually exist so it's easy to let ourselves believe things aren't stacked fairly.
Cheating has been known to happen online though, so ruling it out completely isn't possible. Still, chances are if you or someone else is seeing a lot of unlikely things happening at the table, it's probably because of any of the above reasons.
