RNG on PokerStars

[jimitilt]

I play mostly on Poker Stars and lately I have been playing a lot of SNG's; anyone else been seeing a lot of 4th st and river drawouts where specifically the winning hand hits his two out pair of 3's...?

YES!!!!!

It happens over and over and over!!!!!


(actually, this is how I won my seat to the WSOP...heads-up in a double-shootout my 33 spikes a set on river to cripple my opponent who had 88. Stars is so rigged)

that's why they call it RiverStars.

All online poker is rigged. Unfortunately, live poker is controlled by the Lesbian Orthodontist Cartel under the supervision of Ducks (And Evil) Unlimited.

Irrefutable proof that not only poker stars but internet poker in it's entirety is rigged. Its a good thing that some of us have access to reliable pattern mappers.

Ah, the doubters. Online poker is not rigged. You just happen to be experiencing a period where the 2 outters are hitting. The problem is that when they don't hit, you aren't totalling up all those times. You are just happy to be winning, and likely tooting your own horn at how well you play.

Its the problem with peopel overplaying their pocket pairs. See my post HERE for an explanation of the effect.

No, but I've noticed 9s coming on the river. Recently I had all-in AQ lose to A9 when a 9 came on the river and all-in KQ lose to K9 when a 9 came on the river.

I conclude that Stars is run by a Gordie Howe fan.

I should also note that I tried to make 33 my 'lucky' hand since then...and it has been a big-time loser for me...even on Stars.

They sucked me in..and now they are making me pay out the wazoo for my 33 affection.

Take it to the Psychology forum! This guy is trying to help us see what's really going on.

Thanks OP, I withdrew all my money from Stars.
