I'm not saying 99 is infallible, I'm saying that online the better hand gets busted a fuck of a lot more than it does at the Bellagio.

He had zero fold equity. You don't have fold equity against donkeys.
Yes he had the best hand, but by a very very small margin. You can't push all-in on a coin flip and then be upset when the coin lands on tails.
Your statement about waiting for a straight flush is pretty ridiculous.
Rule 1 for no-limit cash games,
DON'T GO BROKE WITH ONE PAIR.
The exceptions to that rule are if you have AA or KK and can get a majority of the money in before the flop.
You don't have to wait for a monster hand, or even aces, but you'll have plenty of opportunites with hands that are two-pair or better to make your money.
You seem to be on permanent tilt from online play, you should take a break man.
