No more magazines for me I am using these guys. No research needed.

One of the worst bad beats out there is the counterfeit.  And I recently had the pleasure of experience this gem of an ass rape.  I am playing in a 360 person sit-n-go satellite for Poker After Dark and there are 10 people left in the game.  I am pretty low stacked as a result of the blinds being so high but pretty much everyone is in the same position.  I am on the button and have A-8.  There is one caller to the big blind when it comes to me.  I raise to 3 times the big blind.  The blinds fold and the original caller calls my raise.  The flop comes J-J-8.  My opponent checks and I move all-in with a pot sized bet.  My opponent thinks for a while and eventually calls.  I flip over my two pair and they turn big slick, giving them nothing.  The turn brings air so they are down to just a few outs and 1 card to go.  Then comes the river . . . that damn river.  ACE!!!!  Giving me Aces and Jacks with an 8 kicker to their Aces and Jacks with a K kicker.  WTF!!!!!  No final table?  No push to be the winner and move to the next round because I was out kicked on the river.  Sometimes you play the hand perfectly and it just doesn’t work out.  Counterfeiting is definitely one of the worst because it usually improve you hand while it destroys it all at the same time.  Thoughts???

This topic came up while I was playing some texas hold’em poker at a home game a couple of weeks ago.  What would you rather skill or luck?  Which out plays what?  Now since I don’t believe in luck I am definitely a skill believer.  I feel that the odds may work against you in a hand, a game, a week, a month even a year.  However staying to a truly solid game will eventually win out and I find that the better I play it happens that the “luckier” I get.  Any thoughts?
