Omg! I hate pokerstars!

[gtrippp]

As if i hadn't suffered enuf bad beats on pokerstars 2day, i really just got screwed. i was in 2 different 9 person sng's. i finished 3rd place in one when pokerstars gave me 10-10 & another guy k-k. yeah, 2 out of 3 people both got big pocket pairs. happens all the time, right? yeah, online it does. in the other sng, i was heads up w/ one other guy. i had 2/3 of the chips & got j-j. i raised, he re-raised, i went all in, & he called w/ k-j. of course, the river was a k. now he had the most chips. i almost got even when i got a-k & smooth called his raise. flop was 10-j-q. i check raised him all in & he had q-j. river was q. worst of all, he had the nerve 2 talk crap 2 me, after only winning cuz he got helped by pokerstars. AAaaaaaaggghhhhhh!!!!!!!

Pokerstars and Full tilt are the best on this moment.. please don't tell the bad beats you had, tell the story of the good software and tournaments...

[gtrippp]

u think those bad beats aren't a part of the software? i luv everything on both of those sites, except the excessive amount of incredible bad beats.

[gijssie]

and second point.... it's very anoining to tell only bad beat story.. you set your self up against the game... you're not good enough to accept the beats... please learn from this

[ProBlackbird]

Yeah I hate to said this but nothing good to keep talking about bad beats, lol I hear this everywhere

i can't see how everyone can't see what i'm seeing. i would guess that part are naive, part are the donks that are the ones the sites are helping suck out on the better hands and better players, and maybe part are experts playing on high stakes tables, where players are better and don't get into as many situations where they have to suck out. since u guys are obviously the experts, maybe you can help answer a question that i posted before but couldn't get an answer to:
Does anybody know the odds of 2 different people both flopping a set in Hold'em? Since the odds of just one person flopping a set are pretty slim, you would think that the odds of 2 people both matching their pocket pair on the flop would be astronomical. Yet, I see it every day playing online. I don't think I've ever seen it in a live game, or even on tv.

You obviously have not played a lot of live poker. Live and online are completely different. In a live game, you might be lucky to see 200 hands. Online, you can see that in an hour. Big difference. And who cares what you do or don't see on tv. That's edited. It has no bearing on real life.

so does that mean that you DON'T know the answer 2 my question? and EXACTLY, tv poker IS edited, 2 show the most interesting hands. u don't get more interesting than 2 people both flopping sets. u see all the time on tv where 2 people both get pocket pairs, cuz those are interesting hands. u don't see both of them flopping sets, tho, do u? and i'm sure i've played MORE live poker than u, since i did years in prison where all we did was play poker from lock out in the a.m. til lock in at nite.

I have just recentley joined this forum, yet i am not new to the game of poker. In it's various forms. Poker Stars is a great site if you want to practice. Folding, that is. I play consistantely in live games as well as internet. I have naver seen 10/ 4 of a kinds in 1 tourny until poker stars. Lucky if I see 10 a year in live play Absolute probably has the fairest software program of them all. Full tilt takes a distant second. But Poker Stars has to be the most predictable bad beat site of them all. You have to logically question things when the odds are repeatedly overcome, with runner, runner. How is it that three handed everyone involved catches a good piece. I have seen the worst poker players be semi successful at Poker Stars. I hope everybody reading understands that I have also beatin other players when I truly knew it was the program and a bad beat. I would not reccomend making a deposit on this site, as it is clearly evident that you are simply flipping a coin 50% of the time. For what it is worth I spend mostof my time playing and winning live tournaments.
