im sure the bad players lose as often as they should.
That's the thing. I don't mind going multiple bets each street with a set of queens on a KQ3r flop and losing to T4. Really, I don't mind. But why does it take so long to get this guy's money? In fact, I often never get it because he'll usually go broke before I can get enough hands against him.
I'm not complaining it's rigged, but I genuinely don't understand some things. I do win online, just not what I think I should. I don't get how I can be even or up on almost every regular pro I have many hands with, yet still can't reach 1bb/100 in LHE games.
I suppose it has to do with losing edge to multi-tabling, and that the rake is so HUGE!!!! Geez, when I look at the rake I've paid vs. what I'm up, I wanna puke. I'm torn between playing the high stakes games against MUCH tougher competition, and staying where I am. It's either lose edge to rake, or lose edge to tougher opponents. Whatever the deal with online is, I find it to be a very tough environment. I think many people here don't realize how tough it is, b/c they've never played much live poker. Certainly, not back when the games were much easier. I guess if you don't know anything else, it makes sense how online would seem perfectly normal without anything to compare it to. I miss the old days.
