anyone ever think that people get more bad beats online because all you are doing is clicking a button?
i was thinking about this today. maybe not even bad beats but ridiculous calls over all. instead of taking every chip you have in front of you and putting it in the middle, you are merely clicking a button. its a big difference....
oh well, late night rant, anyone have any thoughts?
ill elaborate my sleep deprived thoughts tomorow

I was told somewhere that online they don't burn ? and this puts more cards in play - thus more bad beats?
eh
I was at the casino after getting off work tonight - playing NL 2 am. Long story short my A5 loses to A5 when the flop came A56.......runner runner flush for him. That one never gets old.
bad beats happen everywhere when you play donk poker.
Edit* not that i blame him - we both floped 2 pair.....but some LAG made it 6$ I made it 15$ and the other A% guy over called 
Thats poker
a little more on topic - I know sometimes online calls are completly accidental.

More hands online= more "bad beats"

1. Yes the calling reflex is alot easier when you get 1/4 of a second to think AND press your button AND get to see the result. This would be slower.
2. Khan that is the most random and completely irrelevant excuse for bad beats I've heard in a while. Your friend is just talking alot of hot air.
3. There's alot of reasons you see alot of bad beats.

im not talking just about bad beats, i mean just ridiculous plays in general where people are playing super loose and call everything.
on a flush draw online people will go to the grave with it, but live, if a person sees its going to cost him half the chips in front of him to see the next card, it might be different.

For you in particular Huskie, take into consideration the buyins/stakes you play. Mostly 1-5$ MTTs, if I'm not mistaken. When it's only going to cost you a cuple bucks to make the bad call, it's done more often than at the ME where it was 10k to get into.
Also the lower buyins attract worse players, etc..

There's abolutely no logic in that statement.
It makes no difference if an out has been burnt or remains in the deck: it remains in the realm of the possible outcomes.

OK, it does not matter how many cards are "burned" they are still the same number of unseen cards not in play. In fact, you could burn half the deck and it still would not change the odds.
Bad beats happen more online because of the number of hands dealt. I do however, feel the inevitable RESULT of bad beats, which is tilt, is more magnified online since you can basically act like a complete ass munch without any fear of actually being embarassed, called out or whatever.

If anything, I've seen far more ridiculous calls at live low stakes NL games than online. In a $1/$2 live NL game, someone called my $60 bet on the river with Ace-King high. I had Queens full.
But yeah, burning doesn't put any more cards in play. Live, it's done to help prevent cheating. But with no physical deck, it's not needed.

plus if you make a donk call live you have to look across the table at the guy you just sucked out on. Makes the call more difficult IMHO.
