how do u guys win at pokerstars?

[automat]

i m really starting to hate pokerstars. i mean, i ve won 2 mtt over there, but since then theres been nothing but bad beats. i can do whatever i want, i just wont win. i ve never had such a mass of bad beats on any other site. last example: i played the double shootout to the sunday million, picked up AA on the button, the co raises all-in and i KNOW i cant call because i wont win this no matter what he has. needless to say, he wins with trip queen. two hands later, i push all-in from the small blind and lose a 10 to 1 - shot on the river. only two hand histories, but its been like that for weeks. i push with jj from the button, braindead monkey calls with 53o, of course he gets his str8 on the river. havent won aces in about 4 weeks or so.

i dont claim i m a very good player. i know, i m not. but i m just getting pissed at losing each and every 4 to 1 or 10 to 1 - shot. whatever it is, the sick beat seems unevitable.

maybe its shorterm (only switched to stars in january, played at prima with none ot that for about a year), but i really think about quitting stars.

i know how ridiculous this may sound to some or most of you. but maybe theres some others who have certain sites they just cant win at?

[whipsaw]

holy [censored] you raised < 4bb and you expected a big stack to not call with T8s? lawl. and what did you edit?

[durkahdurkah]

lol

so rigged

btw it seems like you don't like variance, in which case playing donkaments is pretty dumb, and playing the DSO satellites is even dumber

[automat]

nothing wrong with his call obv. just sucks to lose it in such a sick way.

[capone0]

Stop getting outdrawn, obviously.

[Mrage]

Solution is simple, you need a pattern mapper.

[ikestoys]

happens 1 in about 11... no sympathies

[faded]

the only people that win at stars are the people that get their money in way way behind. so, try that.
