| 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.

| 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. | |
