| Title: | It is all about keeping the cash in play | 32 out of 38 readers found this review helpful | |

| PokerStars should be complemented for such a clever scam. They really don't care who loses. They ARE THE ONLY winner on their site. The software will consistently take away the advantage of playing decent poker. Bottom line better players have a reduced edge. So the money stays in play where it is raked over and over. Over pairs will lose to under pairs about 43 percent of the time instead of 20 percent. Poket Kings will lose to Ace rag about 56 percent of the time instead of 29 percent.
Huge draws with 12 to 21 outs will hit less than half of what they should yet gut shots are golden... This is a perfect way to keep the money in play... the better players have no edge and the money stays where pokerstars wants it, in play...
Just run your own stats, I suggest you play extremely small stakes to reduce your loss and track your hands...if you are playing tight Watch out for the set-up hands; ie : if you flop two pair or better from a forced blind...you are most likely going to lose... Be smart cash out if you can, and if you have not made a deposit, DON't
You will just be lining the pokets of organized crimminals.

| Title: | Pokerstars = fraud | 34 out of 42 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I have been a loyal player on stars for a number of years. I have been supernova for the last 5 years. I have had success in the past, my biggest win was 32k in a $100 1r1a. But enough is enough. Over the past couple of years it has been bad beat after bad beat. I'm not saying I'm the best player in the world. But fact is I do get all my chips in with the best hand a majority of the time only to get fked up the arse like everyone else. I'm not sure if pokerstars is corrupt or they just cannot produce a rng true to real life. Yeah right. The site is the most fraudulent piece of shyt how do they get away with it.
I know a number of quality players, some famous who know the site is crooked. I don't understand how they can continue rapping people of money and get away with it. People need to stop playing the site as this is the only way it will cease. It doesn't look like any authority can do it so its down to us.
I played my last tourney on the site today. It was a $100 15k guarantee. I finished 10th. So you can look me up. In this tourney I won with aq against ak then lost with kk against qq then lost with aa against 77. I won a few small pots had an a enrage chip stack and with 10 people remaining I got dealt 1010 another guy who had a few more chips than me shoved. I called him. He had 55. Of course I lost.
This is an example of my everyday life on this rigged site. This happens to me 8 out of 10 tournies I play in everyday. Of course sometimes I shove with aq and run into a bigger hand. I wouldn't mind if I won a few of them but its always the same. Lose with the worst hand 90% of the time and win with the best hand 50% of the time.
I told pokerstars where to go today and told them to close my account forever. It just makes me an angry person to know what I am seeing is not real and some faggot is taking my money and laughing. I wish there was a way of closing this site. But there too big. They can bribe anyone they want. Just don't be a part of there profits anymore. | |

| Title: | Bias found RNG rigged. | 91 out of 113 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I play poker as a hobby part-time as I am in full time employment,
I play on Euro sites with very good results I am a winning player before rake back.
I decided to make pokerstars my third site due to the player pools at some of my other sites falling.
heads up sit and goes are my preferred game.
I played pokerstars for 1 year along side 2 another sites i played almost the same amount of games on each site.
Now the fun begins I could not replicate my success on the 2 other sites on pokerstars WHY the reason was very simple.
I tested my hands on the 3 sites for the year 2012 this is not very hard if you have tracking software and import hands to excel to be analysed,
information can be found on the net on how to do this for those who are interested and are not stat freaks,
open office is free if you do not have MS office and tracking software sites give free trials also.
These tests showed that i was running well out of the standard deviation only on Pokerstars that is showing bias
in there RNG.
On pokerstars i am getting far more bad beats than 2 other sites to the point that hands AI with 50%-70% equity mean 65% equity are wnning 42%
on stars this is outrageous my tests on 2 other sites did not show bias and were well within the std deviation for actual number of hands won.
I win 7/10 HU sit and goes on 2 other sites i won 2/10 on pokerstars.
When I sent an e-mail to Pokerstars with this information they responded with the variance and our RNG is certified ect.
I played hundreds of sit and goes on pokerstars over a year this is not variance i have 2 other datasets to compare to pokerstars so do not take me for a mule.
I responded by asking them to close my account as they do not provide a fairgame and my stats are showing pokerstars firmly favours the
underdog and is helping weaker players far to often.
I also looked into high number of these hands and the beat was delivered on the river an abnormal number of times on pokerstars
when my EQ was even higher on the turn from the original point of the AI.
My account is closed,Pokerstars is rigged and I will not do not want to ever play there again.

| Title: | Finally quit! | 106 out of 132 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| This review is for online poker as a whole and not a specific site. Ive been playing online poker since 2005 and like most players Ive had my ups n downs. When I first started playing, over the course of 2-3 years, I was making a tidy profit, nothing too special, but enough to take my family on holidays, buy things for the home etc etc.However, over the last 2 years or so, something has DEFINATELY changed. No,It's not the fact more ppl are playing the game, nor the fact that more ppl are wising up to how to play and have useful tools i.e pt or hem. The software program has changed without a shadow of a doubt. A trend always appeared. A period of time running at EV or slightly above will almost certainly be accompanied by a period ( whether it be a day or a few days),where u cannot do anything right, where your all-ins that are massively dominating your opponents hand get cracked by whatever it takes to crack it. 'Shills' will say its just standard variance. Not a f---ing chance is that standard variance! Ive been playing long enough to know with my own two eyes that it isnt 'standard variance'! If you look on the debate on 2+2 about Online poker being rigged, you'll find the same names cropping up defending online poker as if it were their familys they were defending. 'Riggies' as they like to call us cant prove online poker is rigged, that is correct, we cant. But what is the only way they can prove it isnt rigged? Oh yes Hand Histories, the be all and end all. Because of Hand Histories, it cant be rigged can it, it cant be manipulated can it! Give me a break. Anyway, last month, after 7 years of playing the game I loved most, I finally decided you know what, enough is enough. I was wasting my life on a game I knew I had no control over. I self-excluded from the 3 sites I was playing on. At first it was hard but a few weeks down the line, I feel like Ive been reborn. Im more happier than I have been for a while, more energetic, spending more quality time with my family and on the whole Im feeling more healthier. Every person is to themselves, but my advice is dont waste your time playing online poker, it consumes too much of your life and you get very little reward if any at all! All the best | |

I feel better now. | |

| Title: | Pokerstars weird RNG | 36 out of 45 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I have 8 years of experience playing poker online.
Of all pokersites Pokerstars have the most absurd RNG of them all.
Absolute Poker had the best RNG the most natural RNG.
But it was destroyed by USA justice.
Pokerstars having the most unnatural RNG in the world.
The outcome of their RNG is just extremely bizarre compare to all other pokercompanies or poker-networks.
Take my word for it.
They are in fact criminals and they use all means possible to cheat you.
They know exactly how to produce gambling addiction to you and everyone else.
They are extremely professional and they know exactly how to
extract maximum profit out of each and every player.
They were probably using psyciatrists and psykologs when constructing
their corrupt server-software.
Their software is a automated thief and tilt-machine and it automatically create gambling addiction.
It`s easy to create poker-addiction.
If you never ever give a man a fair chance,if you never let him win when he suppposed to win mathematically he will soon get crazy,and they know that.
That is how they create gambling addiction and maximize profit.
All kind of rig is in action at Pokerstars.
1000 badbeats in a row and the gambling addicted player still coming back and deposit some more money and hope that he soon will run good and all wasted sklansky dollar will return to him and game will soon become fair.
The positive variance will soon come.
But it just never happens.
The fairness and the positive variance will never ever arrive.
Put Pokerstars owner and managers and all of their employees in jail.Now.
Why?
Because they all share the loot.
Pokerstars employees makes lots of money and they have huge bonuses and they are all aware of the fraud that is going on.
Nobody take responsability for the software.
Nobody put their name to the software.
Who created Pokerstars pokerclient and server-software???
Who is responsible for it?
There will never be someone who step forward and say -I was a Pokerstars software-programmer.

| Pokerstars and fulltilt same company are stilling players with house players playing with fake accounts, of course they are they have to pay the 350 millions somehow. That santa claus from russia is just another set up, then they can pay to some dumb russian and he act like he is the one. don t trust in that company, they are the big leaders in the industry and no one can make front to them. all the reviews i see here i believe in them all. They only feed some people so they can pass the good word about the company, they only feed those that go to live torneys. when i mean feed is winning more than 10000dollars in a torney. They never had no one commenting about winning torneys but they are so scared around internet that they already pay people to be around youtube and poker forums to defend that corruption site. i am up more than 400k all time and i am on your side people!!!! POKERSTARS AND FULLTILT ARE A JOKE and i believe firmly that some reviews here destroying other sites are them payed by jokerstars. IF you people could see half of that corruption you all wouldn't believe. that rock chic looks so nice and cool if u people could imagine half of that chick life. daniel negreanu is a fuking Idiot that started to look not so nice and never appeared again... only dumb women can like that toy....they all are toys, only elky and the dude from California are good players the others are just toys!!!! DONT PLAY IN THAT SITE , they buyed my loved full tilt and they destroyed it!!!! the game is so god damn screwed that its not real. i saw last night 3 quads in less than 3 hours... all variance, fuk you and ur variance dumb fuk!!!! | |

| Hello, i,ve been playing on pokerstars for a few years now. Went pretty well made around 100 dollars a day (1500 a month). I did not start to tilt but one day,yea 1day i lost 1k out of my bankroll Even tho i still had some to go on. Today im broke. Used over 10k dollars over my 3 years. So anyway when i playd online i could honestly read the game easy i just know what comes on the flop and know ita gona be a bad beat. Tid has happend to me too many times compared to my live playing. So of you are a new player reading this dont join PS. They will give you best hands and be delt best hands when you first start, ive experienced that when i was a noob. When i didnt know sh-- about poker i won a tourney of 800 dollars. Today i cant even reach the final two or three tables. Dont play there please theyr rigging it to you at the start so you Get addicted. I have to quit cause im broke, im Even in minus atm. | |

| Here you have it folks! The number one online poker site on the net and it gets a average review of 1.8. Theres really not much more to say except that people are getting sick of this rigged nonsense and online poker is coming to a end. Hopefully we can get some regulation on these sites and a new poker boom will begin. | |
