Doomswitch? Part 4
 

I am posting some hands from the past 2 days first to vent my frustration and second to state my opinion that Pokerstars is rigged. I am sure I will be flamed and people will say I can’t beat poker and I don’t understand variance. I have poker tracker, and I have logged 140,000 hands; I am also a 6 figure winner in that time. I understand no amount of hand histories or ‘bad beats’ are proof. For me these hands in 2 days time is enough to throw up my hands and say something is wrong. Basically I think there is a point where they just don’t let you win anymore.

Good Luck

This hand was NOT stud/8 and he had been in this game for 1 hour so he didn't think it was stud/8 either

You appear to be paying off a lot on the river.

Re: Doomswitch? Part 4
 

This is seven-card stud.

This strikes me as being a non sequitur.

Re: Doomswitch? Part 4
 

You played this hand in a trappy/aggressive manner with a paired door. Your hand has been over-represented as a result, yet your opponent has come along for the ride, paying Big Bets to do so. You cannot beat any hand that would raise the river in such a case, so the river must be C/C.

C/C is safer than B/C buy less profitable imo, unless I think he has only a flush draw. I thought he had some weaker made hand that once it called 5th was likely going to pay the river. Checking the river lets him check behind hands weaker than K's up that would have called a river bet. As it was he had a runner runner draw to a straight and no pair.

Re: Doomswitch? Part 4
 

Well, if he paired one of his cards then he could beat your board. He at least deserves some credit for trying.

It would certainly seem strange for him to be sitting in a game for an hour without realizing it was stud high and not 8 or better, but it's more strange for him to make this totally brain dead call down thinking it was stud high, even after playing for an hour. Also, his play of the other streets looks like he thought he was playing stud 8 or better.
