Pokerstars

F*ck Pokerstars.
I usually don't play there, but since we've been playing here at the mall I have been. I swear to God I'm ready to throw my laptop in the river (forgive the pun).

Tonight alone I've had AA busted by 9,10 suited and KJ offsuite;
AK suited busted by 22;
QQQ busted by a gutshot flush draw that hit on the river;
and KK which hit a K high flush on the river busted by A high flush on the river.

I"M SO FUKKKKKKING MAD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm gonna get drunk and look at porn.

Sounds like some tough beats Bob.

Pokerstars is my main site to play on, and sometimes the swings can get really frustrating. Only advice i can give is to NEVER EVER play when your emotions have really got a hold of you. I've actually heard of pros that take adrenaline reducing drugs to help curve any emotions at all. Keep playing solid poker and you will win in the long run.

Hope this helps! GL

Thanks Newguy...
Its tough to keep your emotions in check when it plays out this way - I swear the software is out to get me!!!

[Bobtheicon]

Screw it - pulling out my money and buying a guitar.

[BurnTheEvidence]

these beats mean nothing without knowing how you played them

AK vs 22 is a coin flip

yea, poker stars can smd as well, last couple days and these are worst ones there have been plenty more I have been all in with AQ vs A4 after flop came AQ2 only to see 4 on turn and 4 on river come another good one is when i was all in with with Q5 vs K5 after flop came Q55 and then on river comes a k. I even deleted the sofware yesterday cause I beleieve 90% in my heart that pokerstars is rigged. bobby u ever have a chat warning? here is my theory if you ever get a chat warning I believe your account is set to get fukked continuosly. also i believe once you reach a certain amount of winnings at any given time your going to be getting fukked continulsy until you withdrawl. I have reached a certain amount atleast 5 times where after i hit that amount I proceed to drop money on suscpiocious happenings I even told myself the last couple times jay do not play cashout your going to raped if you continue playing but I still played. it will be a game time decision whether i will downlaod again and play in our trny today

Jay, I totally agree here. I can play at Full Tilt or UB and the software is fair - hell, even Bodog was good for a while till they changed the look and feel of it. Sure there is still some bad beats, but at least I am on the winning side sometimes.
Anyway, I won a $50+5 8-man HORSE tourney at FullTilt last night so I feel a little better, but still jaded against Pokerstars.

BurnTheEvidence: most of those plays were either calls to all-ins, or all-ins myself with a decent stack. I bet out the KK aggressively and was called down by some fisherman with Ah-10(not h, I forget) who paired his 10s on the flop, but caught the A flush on the river.

I feel your pain Bob, had like 3 unreal bad beats yesterday at Stars.

[Bobtheicon]

Maybe its weekend play. I don't have as many bad beats Mon - Thurs.

I agree with this Bob, there's more drunk fish on the weekends, hence more bad beats........

Today, of course, I'm shortstacked, all-in preflop with 44 and get called by chip leader with 33.
There was no doubt in my mind that a 3 would show up on the flop; which of course it did.
Anyway - congrats on the win today Sharky!! As a glutton for punishment, I'll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep your chin up Bobby, all you can do is get all your chips in the pot when you have the best hand. If you get outdrawn, not much you can do about that........

[Bobtheicon]

Thanks man - all you can do is keep playing. That law of averages thing means I should start winning hands like that.... we'll see.
