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.
