No wonder you defended the K5o hand for so long.
Are you just been deliberately thick?
The point is 888poker deals you hands that are night on impossible to get away from. I.e. you get AK vs a guy who doesn't fold much, so you 3bet for value. Then you get a K on a safe board, so you of course bet for value. Turn is a brick, and there's only a pot sized bet left, so that's a shove.
Then he turns over basically the only thing in the entire deck that could beat you in his range, assuming he's 4betting with KK+. That doesn't count towards all in EV, but it's still
a situation where 888poker has screwed you in
Actually I swear to god in most 3bet pots when I flop an overpair or top pair villain always has something better. Every single ****ing time. You can spend 1500 hands steadily grinding up then in the space of 2 or 3 hands 888poker will screw you right back down to where you were at the start of the day.
For instance, my winnings have hit a glass ceiling at $110 at 4nl for the past 6000 hands. That can't just be variance, it's 888poker trying to prevent me moving up.
