Agree with everything but the bold. Some of those beats still feel like a punch in the gut to most of these "professional" poker players. I mean you've got the very top guys that make 90% of their money off of sponsorship and don't really have anything at risk. But for those guys that are truly trying to grind out a living playing 5/10 NL, losing a thousand dollar pot is like a kick in the ****.
He's not gonna be seething the whole night over it or talking about it for days. It's a common occurrence he got his money in good/ahead and he lost a race ... It happens.
I'm not even a pro myself but I've played enough to where losing a race doesn't faze me all that much regardless of the size of the pot. My logic is I'll win more of those then I'll lose, I just happened to lose today. But I get you though... Full house over fullhouse type ****... A hand that's almost impossible to get away from even though you can kind of feel that you're behind somehow. That he's somehow holding the only two cards that can beat you in his hands but you have to pay to see... Those hurt even the pros.Comment

I guess it depends on the situation but let's just say "pro player" flops a set of aces and checks donkey A bets, donkey B pushes all in, there's enough money in the pot for the pro to justify a call so he does and donkey A calls. There was 2 clubs on the flop he puts them both on flushes and on the river the third flush card comes up and he loses... A BIG POT...

Yeah, I'm not so much talking about losing the coin flips or the 60/40 types of hands. I'm more or less talking about consistent losing sessions for weeks, that seem like years. Where it feels like no matter what 2 cards you have, you're behind. The variance involved is enough to drive the most sane man crazy.Comment

But with him being handicapped, he still was able to outwit Floyd for 12 rounds. But since as you've mentioned, Floyd is the richest Paper champ of the world. Floyd bought the judjes, the referee and all he can pay to win, after-all, it's all chump change for a guy who is in your own words the richest paper champ, hence, Floyd won.Last edited by Spoon23; 07-21-2015, 08:06 PM.Comment

Watched the fight again being as generous as possible, and still had it 7-5 Mayweather.
& that's with giving Pacquiao every round he landed just 1 significant punch, still don't see how these pacstans have him winning.
Although I didn't watch YouTube videos in super slow motion with people claiming mayweather's shots didn't count cause they didn't land square on the chin, while seconds later giving Pac credit for shots that hit nothing but air.Comment

When there is a crime or a felony that occurred. A law-enforcer will investigate what really happened in that unlawful night. You trace back clues and evidence that will vindicate the victim (Pac).
round 3, documented connnected punches

Here is another example of Floyd hitting air.
Round 2 was again rightfully a Pac round. Since, Floyd didn't land that much, but compubox gave it to him with all those ghost punches he's landing lol
