I have seen a lot of strange things happen since I started playing poker on the internet, but most of the rooms seem legit.
My friend told me there are fish on stars, and I've been a solid winner on other sites, but [censored] like this keeps happening to me, where I have the best hand and they suck out, but this was just too much.

I called his river bet, since I know my 2 pairs are good, and as expected, he has 3 of a kind, but the pot went his way.
WTF, I have been a solid winner on all other sites but pokerstars, but this is just unbelieveable. I sent poker stars the hand history, and they replied back saying such a hand has never been played on their server, they sent the hand history back to me with the corresponding hand #, and it showed my having the trips, and him having the 2 pair.
I am going to stop playing on poker stars, and I recommend you all to do the same if they continue giving pots to the worst hands. I am on a bit of a downswing, and that $418 could have really helped, my bankroll is only about $1700 and I usually play 40NL(1/2 blinds) but took a shot at this 120NL table since I saw that fish sitting. Unfortunately, he probably works for poker stars and wins every pot.
