All this talk about rigged games etc!
It's simple really, you don't go all in unless you know your hand is UNBEATABLE - especially with real money!
There is always a chance that someone will have a better hand than you, especially with a full table, and especially if your hand is not UNBEATABLE.
You can try your luck with a very good hand when the odds are in your favour, but you have to be prepared to be beaten.
Every example listed by the thread starter was an example of a beatable hand.
The odds of being beaten are increased because of the number of players holding cards at an online table.
This is exactly the reason why I only play with a maximum of four other players.
It increases the chances of a strong hand winning, but I can lose unless my hand is unbeatable.
I've seen the bluffers come and go, they get away with it a few times, but ultimately they cop it from someone with a better hand. I'll let a bluffer get the best of me for a few hands, and then bankrupt them when I have an unbeatable hand
