Pokerstars Auditors
 
I sent an email to the auditors of Pokerstars. I asked them why KK goes up against AA so many times more than is statistically valid.
In my words, their response was: Pokerstars treats everyone fairly, but that does not mean that they don’t equally try to mess with everyone.
In a full ring game, what other ways could Pokerstars try to maximize their profit—besides putting AA against KK on purpose?

Silly, everyone know it's Full Tilt that's rigged.

I know the subject is not in the perfect forum, but I thought the answers might be different in different games; I was just interested in how PokerStars would form a strategy against full ring.

I think stars said the truth. I'm pretty sure every time I've been mugged by a dog on the river, I've also mugged someone else at some point when I'm a dog (though I don't do it with retarded cards like J6off against my AK on a KA6 board, and hit the magic 6 on the river - mine are more KK against AA, and I hit the K on the river)

How would Stars know if you are the type to go broke with KK vs. AA? There would be no way for them to be able to determine the outcome of a hand based on players' tendencies. I might go broke with it but someone who is really weak might lose way less and actually fold.

I actually have one. It is on Business Valuations (I am a CPA). I thought it would not be appropriate for the forum—but if you really want it. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
