The flop came QJX. | | |

Yeah that was the one... the funniest part of that tourny was he had A TON of chips going into the final table (so many more than everyone else it was just silly) and got beat down a number of times with monster hands and bad flops. Right before the hand in question he lost an all in which left him with a 1000 chip LOL... then his KK was beat down twice on the flop  | | |

Yea, ever since that hand i have always thought Hoyt Corkins was a donk for putting all his chipsin to win the blinds with 87 and then getting quads against D'Agostino's 10s. | | |

I know that when you are dealt KK you will only run into AA 1 in 24 times. Throw in the QQ and I don't know what you have there.
Ya see, I'm not crazy. There is something rotten in... Well, wherever Poker Stars is located...

E | I doubt that there is something rotten where PokerStars is located, but all i know is that the best players can win a lot on that site so if they can win then i can win. | | |

E | Something rotten? How many times have you seen that? We just quoted you a time it happened in the final 4 people of a very big televised event | | |

Holy conspiracy theory Batman,
i just checked my Poker Tracker for PS and here's mky breakdown for all the types of hands:
High Card = 19.85%
One Pair = 44.12%
Two Pair = 20.34%
Three of a Kind = 5.88%
Straight = 3.68%
Flush = 2.94%
Full House = 2.70%
4 of a kind = 0.49%
And my number one hand dealt is 5/3o. These seem like pretty reasonable percentages to me, kinda similar to the exact hand rankings as well. Can anyone provide any statistical evidence (min. 3000 hands) that shows a deviation from these stats on Poker Stars? | | |

i'm not really blaming pokerstars per se. instead, i am blaming the inordinate amount of terrible players that have filtered their way into the site. it has reached the point there that instead of just having to face one or two clueless players at each table, there are four or five of these players at every table, and i just am not good enough to play against these guys. i love pokerstars, but i just can not handle half a table of idiots everywhere i go there. i am taking a break from pokerstars, and playing elsewhere for the time being. pokerstars is by far the best poker site, and their offerings of mtt's can not be touched. however, i just can not compete with an opponent capping off the flop with 7-high, then catching running two pair. | | |

I don't know why nobody plays there because i love it. | | |
