Doomswitch? Part 6 Last one!

[JackDuckSooted]

***Andy sorry if 6 posts is too many I could have put them all in 1 but I thought policy was 1 per hand.

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

Eh, maybe this beat is just to standard to post but this was the last straw for me. If you've read all my posts thanks for sharing my pain!

[CUonCRUISE]

I play mtt on every site and noone has bad beat me over and over like Pokerstars. The higher the buyin the worse the beats.

[Gobias Ind.]

I was right about to post the [censored] sick retarded outdraws in EACH and EVERY Stud WCOOP Qualifier played today. Stars is just so [censored] rigged. I don't care what anyone says about FTP, playing across 4 sites for 3 years, I haven't run nearly as bad on any other site as I do on goddam Stars!!!


Please do not circumvent the profanity filter.

pretty good BB/100 for playing that high a VPIP...do you play short-handed a lot? also is that 60K hands at each site?

[HOWMANY]

Fold hand 4 on the river, fold hand 5 on 6th street. The 1/2 Stud Hi on Stars always looks like an awful game with the same 2-4 people playing and a terrible ante size.

A total of about 60 000 hands. It's the Hi/Lo part that makes VPIP that high, not much SH. The point was, nevertheless -that I lose on PS, nowhere else.

[betgo]

You are really making multiple bad beat posts. I guess since it is from high stakes it is more acceptable.

I would reraise the raise from the 2 with a 3 on 3rd. Your reraise represents a concealed big pair, but could be a lot of things. The 2 will won't fold that quickly if you reraise unless he just is on an ante steal or has a very weak hand like 227 or 2KQ.

Yes those BB/100 numbers are great! If you're playing 20-40 or bigger and winning 3-4 BB/100 you're great. About the VPIP #'s I have ALOT more than 60k hands on several sites I don't so how your hi-lo VPIP should be higher than your high. In fact it is clearly correct to play less hands at hi lo, mine is a full 10% smaller. GL

Folding hand 4 on the river is a typical 2+2 tough fold advice. We could discuss this some more but imo in general making laydowns in 7 stud on the river at bigger games is not a good idea. There so just so many standard check call and bet call lines on the river. There really is no getting around it. Once you put 2 bets in on 5 in a dinky pot and bet 6th and 7th and fold. Its clear to the thinking plays at the table that you had 3 2's or K's up and you just folded it for 1 more bet on the river. Its not so smart encourage some of the better(or reckless) players to take shots. Also players sick enough to call a ck raise from an open pair with no pair no draw are usually sick enough to river raise bluff often enough.

About hand 5 I think the call is correct not very many hands that call 2 bets from a J and a K have a J for a straight. He could have a flush it just didn't feel like a flush to me at the time though it could have been. Btw he was bluffing but rivered the dead J.
