Default My switch to PokerStars in a nutshell:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
7 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is UTG+1 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $1</font>, Hero calls, 5 folds.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($2.35, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($2.35, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $1</font>, Hero calls.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($4.35, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $6.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $23</font>, UTG calls.

Results:
Final pot: $50.35

Hero: shows [7s 7c] (four of a kind, Sevens)
UTG: shows [Qd Qh] (four of a kind, Queens)

Third 1-outter in the past 5 days. Endless 2-outters on the turn and river after big bets. It never ends. 2 weeks of bad beats, and running bad.

2 years of playing, and I've never experienced anything like this. 5k hands today...-$100

Guess I can't beat these PS games. Wish Party had a doomswitch so I could have practiced for this the last couple years.

Well, my rent payment will start incurring late fees in 3 days...and after the last couple of weeks, it looks like I'm going to be pretty damn late.

LOL...Over 2 weeks, I haven't made a dollar. That's more than 50k hands.

Sorry, but I haven't experienced a 50k hand breakeven streak in 2 years, was not anywhere near prepared for it.

Just so happened it all happened the moment I switched to PS.
