Pokerstars is a scam

....and your point is?

bad beats happen a lot on internet poker?

your probably right.

best,

donvic

Alrighty, just curious about this one then:

Its poker, if you think its rigged then why not stop playing?

I just read "MOST" of your posts and I'd have to say your accusations seemed pretty unfounded to me......Why would you post hands that you wasn't even in.......?????

So your Ks got cracked by Qs "like that’s never happened before.....Nice 14x the big raise by the way".......you went all in with your Pocket 5s and took it down and you 9s got out kicked all which could easily happen when your kicker is lower than your set cards it all seems pretty normal poker stuff to me.

I can only surmise that you have only been playing online poker a short while or you have only played at this particular poker site.....that you haven't played live poker before, these are the only reasons I feel that you would believe that this site is "ripping you off"

Sub Note: the only reason you get more bad beats online is because you play more games trust me you get the same bad beats and outdraws happening "LIVE".

Please try to keep the posting of hand histories relevant i.e.: we don't need to know about hands that you fold pre-flop....this is a help and support forum not an unfounded accusations forum....!! Thanks

You just seem like a bitter player that doesn't truly understand the game of poker. Please don't take any of my comments as offensive because I don't intend for any of them to be, but you have no reason to complain. Yes, sometimes you lose in poker. You know what, it happens to everyone. Most of the hands you posted were far from bad beats. Usually, you were behind most if not all of the way. The hands you did have "bad beats" on were usually played very poorly by yourself. If you think PokerStars has anything to do with it, you're completely wrong. I've been playing there for over a year, and while I do have bad beats semi-often, I am still very much a winning player there. They are one of the largest and most credible sites in the world. There is no way that they would be implementing any sort of "scam" just to rip you off for a few bucks.

Any given tourney you play in has a 3 to 1 ratio of fish to solid players. unfortunately you will suffer through more than your fair share of bad beats because you can't make them fold, and you can't bluff them. If you check on how they finish in the tournys, they usually don't cash for much if at all. The better player will survive over the long haul an make some money. P atients and good play will make you some money....not going on tilt.

My apologies if my post came across a bit harsh (I've just read it back) I wasn't intentionally meaning to be rude.

I just felt rather strongly regarding the accusations as I like this site (it’s in my top 3) and I felt your post took up an awful lot of space, my time to read it and didn't really have a lot to say.

However I could have expressed my feelings better.

So sorry.....My Bad!

My theory is a poker site with million dollar poker players sponsoring them doesn't need to take your money. For them a set up a program to create bad beats is foolish it's hard to run an Internet site with security issues at hand. There's no such thing as bad beats just bad players. Not saying you did anything wrong .....just theory

I try not to do this to often but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one Gator dude. There are such things as bad beats, you have your quad aces beat by a str8 flush regardless of what level of play your at "Thats a bad beat"....!!!

"Bad players" Blame the cards (like they care ), other players or anything else for that matter other than themselves, of course....!!!! lol

You'er a loser it's plain and simple. If you enter ten tourneys and play well in all how many do you think you will win. One, at the most two. Some really conservative aggressive experienced players may finish in the money 4 times. Every poker player every day suffers bad beats. Sometimes the bad beat is the fault of the player for incorrectly betting the hand. Sometimes it is the fault of the player for staying in the wrong hand. Mostly though it is the random fall of the cards in a game called poker. Why do you think that so many have been killed over gambling? ( there are a few cheaters) Mostly it is anger like yours brought about by the random fall of the cards. I get extremely angry every time I lose a big hand either because of my bad play or the random fall of the cards and I hate this game of hold em but what do I do play another hand and bad beat someone else. I give others as many bad beats as they give me and it's not me or them but the cards. Grow up, Pokerstars does not care who wins they just want their rake. I used to play in a weekly home game 20 yrs ago and I can state for a fact that two of the men there were card cheats but you know what I won every single week.
