In casinos, people usually give you shit for bad beating someone so they try not to out of embarassment. Of course, you still get your share of bad beats in real life, but it's not as bad as online. I also see a lot of KK vs AA matchups online than offline. Just stop playing online. I have been online poker sober for many months now.
I agree. I've seen to many people get screwed online. At my weekly home game/tourneys if you play bad, you're going to hear about it for weeks. We're all friends and college buddies, so it's all in good fun.

Usually the only bad beats that ever happen, is when somebody outside the circle plays with us who doesn't know anything, and they'll call down any bet with shit and win. But they usually can't finish the victory and get second or third.
