Default Re: Pokerstars Is Fixed

The weird thing is that these things should be extremely unlikely. As a 90% favorite you should win 90 out of 100 times. Why do I lose such situations so often?

Yesterday they dealt me five NL hands on Stars from which I played two: Lost with trips in the first one and lost with top pair + nut flush draw in the second one (all-in on the flop). Outcome: - $96!

In one day I lose like $500 on Party, PS and WPEX combined and all of that with huge hands. Not the usual bad beat stuff, it was more like an endless streak of cold decks which is much more expensive.

This whole thread is insane. Is it "3-4 times as often"? Please show us real numbers. You should be able to tell for sure. If you can't there is your answer.

Guys, is it possible as site is rigged? Sure. But, nothing stated on the "for" side in this thread gives even a hint of evidence.

I keep hearing words like "my confidence", "I think", "should", "It seems like". These are all vague, give one bit of concrete evidence and maybe your case would hold more water.

90% and above favorites DO LOSE as they should. Nobody has shown they lose more than they are statistically supposed to.

We all have seen weird things, gone on long winning and losing streaks. How come nobody ever says "OMG it's rigged! My 10% favorites are winning 75% of the time!!", "I never lose!!"

All these it's rigged post always come after a bad downswing which can ALWAYS be explained by variance and bad play.
