Default PokerStars is Robbing me of my Aces! LOW CONTENT

Of the 12,161 hands at various levels of 6 handed play, I've only received Pocket Aces 44 times, instead of the avg of 55.
And, to make matters worse: I only won with them 68% of the time.
At least I'm avg 5.08 BBs/100, playing 1 table at a time and writing books on opponent's play.

Sorry I took up you time, but I had to vent.

They save the aces for the RIVER.

LOL, sometimes I call them RIVERstars!

Wow, I had to check my own stats after I saw yours...

24,258 hands... AA 119 times, 88.24 win%

I'm either running good at aces or I never fold them. Too bad I suck at poker, 0.51BB/100 hands makes soda a poor player. But, 6-9 tables makes that number slightly more tolerable.

Update!!
Got AA 2 times since my OP.
Both times on the Button; 6 way
Both times everyone folded to me.
Both times the Blinds folded to my open/raise.

Presto held up though when I flopped a Set and all you needed on the River for a Str8 was a 7.

Where is the enjoyment in playing 6-9 6 player tables at once?
I would think that's not really "poker" but more like "automated probability reasoning."

Yeah, this is a pretty accurate statement. It is challenging, just in a different way.

Primarily, I enjoy the lower variance this style of play offers me. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
