My letter to Pokerstars

Gunslinger1988 · #1 09-21-2006, 07:43 PM

I have been a player on Pokerstars since you opened. I love your tournaments and have won WSOP seats and PCA seats on your site. I have also become friends with Dan Goldman and Rich Korbin over the past few years. I am a professional player for 10 years with two WSOP final table and numerous other results.

I hate to even write this letter because it sounds like sour grapes and paranoia, but I have concerns that your cards are not random. I have heard this from many fellow players ( the nickname some players use is riverstars). So I know I am not the only one. It seems to me that if two players are all-in on the flop in one of your tournaments, the turn card almost always gives the hand that is behind more outs. I also feel that the river card helps the hand that is behind way more often than the statistical probability.

I have no proof of this of course, since it would take a huge number of hands to verify my theory. I am sure that your response to my letter will cite your integrity page on your website, which I have read.

I am considering if I want to continue investing lage buy-ins to your tournaments with the concerns I have. It has become difficult for me to play when I am not sure the deal is fair. I hope you will forward this letter to management for a personal response

You have made 2 final tables in the World Series of Parcheesi? I am interested in the other results. Wow if you are that good at Parcheesi maybe one day you won't be such a donk and will become a Pro Poker player!

lollerskates indeed!

You know, getting the last seat in Burger King doesn't count as the final table [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He's got one part right for sure. The turn card completes the first part of a backdoor draw 95% of the time.
