Default Wow, has this happened to anyone else?

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.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB :#A500AF(PokerStarsEmployee)/ ($754.10)
Hero ($718.85)
UTG ($678.65)
MP ($552)
Button ($338.30)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB :#A500AF(PokerStarsEmployee)/ raises to $24</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $72</font>, SB :#A500AF(PokerStarsEmployee)/ calls $48.

Flop: ($144) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
PokerStarsEmployee checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($144) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
PokerStarsEmployee checks, Hero checks.

River: ($144) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">PokerStarsEmployee bets $138</font>, Hero calls $138.

Final Pot: $420

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
PokerStarsEmployee has 7d 9d (three of a kind, nines).
Hero has 8d Ad (two pair, aces and nines).
Outcome: PokerStarsEmployee wins $420. </font>

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.

Look at the hand history, the pot went to him, I'd give his screen name, but in case it was just a software error, I'd rather not call him out on the forums.

He had me covered, and I rarely get this much on the table(had over 700) so I was feeling pretty uncomfortable, and didn't want to lose, at the time, this was a very large part of my roll.
