Default Typical Pokerstars???

I normally don't vent, but when I watch my BB/100 go from 1.25 to 0.5 between 100k hands to 125k hands, I get sick to my stomach.

I have done tons of analysis and the only thing I can say is that the suckouts that are happening to me on pokerstars are disgusting and happening regularly. Here is a typical hand - and I do mean typical - as of late.

AQ on the button, I raise and get reraised by the big, I just call. Flop is AQ7 unsuited. We go 4 bets. Turn is a J and he check raises me. I'm pretty sure he has AJ, and we go 4 bets again. River card J, I can see it coming to, after whats been going on for the last week. Anyways, I call and he's got what I think he has AJ. I can handle beats like this no problem, in fact Ilove them as sick as that sounds. But I can't handle them when they occur regularly in a span of 25k hands.

Not gonna use the angle that online is rigged, but it does seem that when I make a score such as cashing in for 10k at the Bahamas or approaching super nova status or about to cahout 100,000 FPPs for cash, I fall into a black hole that doesn't seem to end.

What do you guys think?

I don't believe it's rigged but I feel your pain as it happens to me all the time too. It happens live too though. The other night I lost $1400 in one hand to a 2 outter on the river.

Great great post. It's refreshing to hear someone rant about their bad luck for a change. Keep up the downswing so you'll have more fascinating posts like this one.

Thanks again for the illuminating insight into one man's struggle. It's almost epic, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it deeply touched my life, and will have a profound impact on all my future endeavors.

Your biggest fan,

Mick

No, it's not like anything miraculous happened. Thats poker you should expect it going in that these miracle 3% chances happen, but you know what theres still a chance.

I HAD THE SAME EXACT HAND !!!!!

Except it was AQ vs AT. Runner-Runner Ts. I too only called the river after getting it capped all the way.

Oh, yeah, and it wasn't at PokerStars, it was at a B&M casino.

TOTALLY RIGGED!!!!!!1
