I just started playing Merge Network, and I am used to getting bad beat in the STT format because people get desperate with increasing blinds but I have been getting crushed the last two days since I started playing on Carbon. I don't mean I am holding AK and the Villain is holding J10 and they villain hits a jack. I am getting crushed holding domination hands. 6 times AK vs AX. 4 times Overpair Vs under pair, 5 Times KQ or AQ VS KJ or worse. I have played about 20 STT in the past couple days on Carbon and am wondering should I chalk it up to variance? What are your expericences

Thanks

Rigged, obviously...

I'm usually one to say I play enough to warrant opinions on things. But 20 games isn't even close to be able to chalk it up to anything at all. It's poker...things like that happen in poker. Online, live...everywhere.

Eagerly await the rest of the response.
