Why poker feels like more luck than skills online?

[Colbefc]

Poker is always a mixture of skill and luck, sometimes you get more of one than the other and visa versa.
It all evens out in the end.

Yesterday and today I lost all hands with A, I had AJ and lost to A7
I had AA and lost to Q2 of different suits.
I had AK and lost to 73
E outros A's
Sometimes I wonder, is this the opponent's luck, or is this my bad luck?

Exploiting your opponents weakness is more important the less optimal your opponent play. You cant play every opponent the same way

I always have so much bad beats that it makes me feel like poker is just luck or gambling while playing online. Hate to admit it but after 4 5 good runs a setup hand is dealt and flop is also so good that it's hard to fold if you're getting a playable hand after waiting for too long how to get away with situations like this? Either I lose cuz I don't get playable hands and lose chips or get dealt a premium hand where everyone limps to a 10 15BB raise and someone lucky dominates people are just playing any hands and winning more often than a regular player who's studying poker I guess it all depends on table but in tournaments you don't choose tables

You can meet different players on different tours. If we talk about freerolls, it is mostly a bingo game. If we talk about tournaments with a buy-in of up to $5, there are a lot of bingo players in such tournaments as well. However, if you play tournaments with buy-ins of $5 or $10, the situation becomes radically different. Of course, you can meet a bingo player even in a tournament with a $100 buy-in, but these will be rare cases.

I've played 50$ tournament on gg poker and situations still the same tons of bingo players going all in with rags pre flop missed the flips with pocket aces, kings, AK like premium hands felt more like freerolls had 21 re entries and results were same everytime I re entered got a premium after few folds insane raises and all ins were made by others the invincible hands lost to rags every freaking time just unable to get over it and made to believe online poker is scam just playing freerolls now a day and whatever c points I get i continue with that but I tried depositing 5 - 10 $ few times again but the result still are same idk the varient I use have something rigged or its just rigged for me or I'm just unlucky or bad that when I get premium either everyone folds to even a 2bb raise or when they play I win only 10% of the times but that zodiac tourney was absurd

Online is often more difficult

The more professeional professional you the more you will realize that its more then just having luck. But the hardest part is to accept, that you probably just play not good enough. This you will only find out by studying your hands or read/watch strategic moves. For example you could start only with freerolls and the reason for that is having a controlled bankroll management. People underestimate the skill of bankrollmanagement. Only play 5% of your bankroll and after loosing so much that you go even down from your budget, you still have freerolls to regain your loss without loosing more. The benefit from that is to gain experience. Poker is more then just winning quick money

Because its online poker. You get your answers when speaking with people who makes softwares, not from players. You also then find out lots of new things that you havent noticed at all and that the questions what you are asking are wrong, if you want to answers to that how online poker works. And i bet that 99% of players dosnt understant if that its explained to them. There is no talking about variance, no forgetting hands, not a word of bad beats (which are all true) ,- thats why you had to be studying that stuff and be professional of that area, if you want to know poker sowtwares works.

Poker comminity its not about honesty and justice, they only want to be able to play.

The skill aspect is underestimated by amateur players and the luck aspect is underestimated by professionals.
