I agree with action jeff that stars is rigged. Not like absolute poker rigged where some greedy [censored] is straight up robbing you at the tables and can see ur whole cards.

Imo, stars is rigged in order to balance the amount and types of players on the site, and not for the sole purpose of monetary gain (atleast not in the short run). Here is a hierarchy of how good or bad different types of players run.

Noobs- stars lets 'em run like god, catching all types of miracles after making retarded plays

the fish that plays occasionally- stars lets them run good enough to lose just a little bit in the long run

the pro/rounder/shark - stars lets them run poorly, but due to good play, they can still squeeze out a win here and there.

the busted pro - these ppl run poorly b/c stars knows they are capable of winning and will keep playing on there site

the hardcore degenerate- this group of ppl may have once been a shark or pro, but due to a terrible run of cards/ terrible br management have lost massive amts and is on life tilt. stars knows these ppl will keep taking shots at becoming rich again. Therefore, stars will do whatever it takes to bad beat this group of players, because they are like revolving doors and keep coming back.

anyway, if you're in the last two categories, do what i did, just say goodbye to stars, and don't try to play on that site again because you're pretty much hopeless, and if you're in the 1st 3 categories, do not fall down.

Re: farewell pokerstars...
 

I strongly advise against FTP. Once I was playing there and I had pocket aces right, and I went all in against a guy with A3, and he won. I'm pretty sure its rigged,,

the fish that plays occasionally- stars lets them run good enough to lose just a little bit in the long run

the fish that plays a lot - stars tries to help them out but all the RNGs in the world can't help when the fish keeps pushing 22 preflop UTG, and they are eventually required to implement a self-exclusion at the fish's request.


the pro/rounder/shark - stars lets them run poorly, but due to good play, they can still squeeze out a win here and there.

the busted pro - these ppl run poorly b/c stars knows they are capable of winning and will keep playing on there site

Blue is winnings in +EV PS Rigs Situations (+EVPSRS)--i.e. PS was rigging hands in his favour. Green is winnings in -EVPSRS. Red is winnings in neutralEVPSRS.

Re: farewell pokerstars...
 

I self-excluded myself for 180 days also, because after about the 20th day in a row of winning on other sites and losing on stars, I decided it was just too -EV to allow myself to play on the site any longer.

all jokes aside, this was actually a smart decision, even if the sites were 100% proven to not be rigged, the fact you think you are going to lose on stars prolly affects how you play there, resulting in less EV than playing somewhere where you dont feel this way.

Re: farewell pokerstars...
 

I think you can probably look back in the archives here at 2+2 and see the same post with PartyPoker substituted in for PokerStars.

or FTP
or X
or Y
etc..

If they keep winning, will they not also keep coming back? I know I would. If you are winning thousands and thousands of dollars you will keep playing. And Stars would keep raking.

Your logic is retarded.

Re: farewell pokerstars...
 

wait, so by your statements NOBODY can win on pstars? [censored], i wish you had told me this earlier

Re: farewell pokerstars...
 

I just started playing on Stars and have a 39% ROI after 11 games so there may be some truth in your noob statement.

Guess I'll find out.

raven, withdraw now as its your only chance at actually profiting
