Losing Streak

[Mr.WeakTight]

yeah, it's rigged. just read their randomization algorithm. no one who's not in the know plays there anymore. they all play at those smaller sites which are much much better run. that's why you can never get a game on pokerstars. no players. except the cheaters.

I've been getting killed in poker lately, even at low stakes. Every time i get AK my opponant rivers a 3 outter, making 2 pair to my single pair. Every time i hit a set of jacks, my opponant rivers a set of queens. Every time i get a hand like KK my opponant has AA. None of my big draws will come in. I lose large pots with AK to J6 - he has a pair of jacks and my 12 outer doesn't work. It goes on and on. Do you have any suggestions as to how to handle this? I would think it would be almost impossible for this to be happening by chance, but who knows. Really, i think someone must be watching this and laughing at my frustration; it's really comical. I have to wonder if PokerStars is rigged.
Perhaps i should switch to a different poker site (or give poker up all-together). Any constructive suggestions - no taunts please.

At one point last month I had a 150 BB swing at 2/4 online. Live/online whatever you do its going to happen to you. Your not going to win every time you play. All you can do is limit how much you lose. Sounds like you need to take a break and pick up a psych book.

A. Move up, take a shot, run hotter than the sun.
B. Cash out remainder of roll, spend on hookers/blow
C. Kill yourself

By the sound of it, the way you describe your beats, it would appear so. Try emailing support. Usually works.
