16 bad beats and you still have 12bb? Apparently you don't know what "bad beat" means. Stacking off light pre isn't a bad beat. Ever. Even with AA. It's a flip. Sometimes you're at a slight statistical advantage pre, but it's still a gamble. Additionally, losing to KQ with K8 on a K4297r isn't a bad beat either. See the donk comment from earlier.
You only win when you hit? That's laughable, and it shows how little you know. Probably too much TV time. There's a reason they show the hands they do. It isn't meant to be step by step instructions. They're a lot more to it.
Just because Phil Ivey/Tom Dwan/Isuldur1/Jungleman raises pre with K4o OOP doesn't mean you can. What they're not showing you is the 150 hands leading up to that spot. Well, except Dwan.
Look, the only reason I'm entertaining your thread is because I'm a super fan of accountability. Instead of asking why the universe is screwing you... Why not find the leaks in your game and plug them?

GL Bro.
It is so much fun talking to you people.
You are completely unaware of how poker or gambling works.
Everything I say makes sense if you think about it for a second.
Yes 98% of hands are won with cards.
Bad beats are disputed because players don't all have the same opinion.
You gotta define it somehow. So I would say it's when you put your money in bad and win like a donk you gave the other player a bad beat.
Of course big draws and small amount to call are fine I guess.
Let me a analyse your statements individually
"too much tv time" - no, its nonsense. I am not like 99% of poker players who get turned on by high stakes poker. It was all fake, almost none of them made that money playing poker it was all company corporate money.
"they are not showing hands leading up to that spot" - they do, the guy won with cards every time.
"Phil Ivey" - lol what about him? What would you like to know. How he turned 5k into 2mil in one evening and became Phil Ivey. Don't get me wrong it's great I am happy for him but let's tell the truth and say it was luck not skill.
"Isuldur1" - what about him? How he won the largest pots when he put his money in behind most of the time. Fair enough big draws but what about the guy who put his money in ahead?
Look at the "pros".
This is what people don't understand.
Most of the pros were loosing players until they got lucky and won a major tournament.
Then quickly run up to a big company to get a multimillion sponsorship.
Then play as mush as possible
Play 3000-4000 tournaments to win 14 of them.
The question is who can afford to play 3000 tournaments?
Answer, someone with big sponsorship
The ones with no sponsorship have either gone broke or playing with borrowed money.
I've got so much more educational material I am happy to educate everyone
