After giving PokerStars the benefit of the doubt for so long, I'm beginning to wonder

if the software is severely flawed.  It appears as if hands are playing out like internet blackjack lately.  Normally, I don't even remotely care to hear people's exaggerated sob stories, but the regularity of losing results defies math logic. 

 

I go to Card Player to check the statistics, so I assure you that my numbers are accurate.  And lately, when I get all my chips in the middle with an higher pockets, I am getting crushed!  Also, I'll flop high 2 pair or a set (then have all my chips in the middle) only to have someone catch a runner, runner miracle straight or flush when I'm about a 92%-8% favorite.

 

Now I've played long enough to know that bad beats are a part of the game.  Hell, I even sucked out with a lower pair when I was desperate and all-in.  But for me to CONSISTENTLY lose hands in the last 2 or 3 days where I'm no worse than an 80% favorite to win, has me questioning the validity of their software. 

 

Even if I lost half these hands, I wouldn't be typing about it.  But I'd say 7 of the last 8 times I've had a dominant hand and played it perfectly, I've ended up either severely crippled or on the rail.  

 

I've seen crazier beats in live play, but just not so many in such a short time frame.  And obviously, it's time for me to consider giving up internet poker for awhile.  Comments are welcome.   

The last 2 days I've noticed playing nl, if you don't have a straight,flush,boat just fold. I couldn't believe how many were flopping out, maybe it was just the tables i was at but it was just crazy, i stopped playing and just watched for a while and was shocked at the frequency they were coming out 6-7 hands in a row.

get real poker stars is rigged.  Every hand is a bad beat.  It is

a miracle if you are not one of the "insiders" to win a key hand.

 

I have been playing there for a few months now and have not

won the key hand, no matter how big a favorite you are.  Forget

about raising before the flop.  You will lose every time.

from my experiences at poker stars and all online poker for

that matter.  If the situation looks too good, beware.  If you

have aces before the flop and are getting alot of action.  You

are going to lose a big pot.  You can count on it.  Or the other

classic, top set vs a flush draw.  you will lose that one every time

also.
