Question What are we looking at....???

I'm unsure to the purpose of this post in this thread.....I may just be being thick so please enlighten me....?

1) Shouldn't this be in hand historys?

2) Quite simply one of the worst plays I've ever seen posted by the person who played it.....(Although I'm not sure I would have called the all-in with Js even if I did dominate you))

3) Not a great example from an approved member to be setting to newbie's who are just starting out in my opinion (that’s of course if holmesnmanny is you I'm presuming it is, if I'm wrong my bad & sorry).

4) I’m failing to see the point you’re making in the respect of PS being a scam?

5) Not funny and whine whine whine.......(thats me whining by the way).

Hi Holmesnmanning,

How about you:

-shrug off the bad beats (they happen to everyone..everyday. Know your odds and play correctly and you'll ride over those unlucky streaks)

-play more poker (all kinds) and gain more experience

-go down a few levels or practice with playchips(so you arent damaging your bankroll so much when you do lose)

It simply isnt true that pokerstars is scamming you. Since you are banned from the site, you have nothing further to worry about - go play somewhere else ( though I believe you won't find it easy to find a more player-friendly site than pokerstars out there- it's one of the best)

It's always going to be true that some people get a larger share of luck than others in their lives. Things will even out for you over time-if you play CORRECTLY and I believe that at lower levels, this is what you should strive to do, each and every hand you play.

If after some time, you are still convinced that things are rigged against you, then maybe you should try another hobby.

kind regards, 7letters

Well from what I have seen looking through the hand history your biggest problem at poker stars did not come from the "bad beats" but from the fact that you only seem to have two buttons to use. Either All in or fold so playing that way it is not really suprising that you get called down as you give the impression of being a loose player.

Also you said you never luck out what about the 4 card flush when you were all in with 55 against JJ.

Bottom line if you play good poker you can still lose but playing bad pojer you lose more often.

lol

it is not in the interest of any online site to be scamming anybody
there earn enough without scamming people
i think maybe you should not keep putting yourself all in this is poker and it is mostly luck although you can rejuice the risk by playing good odds hands
maybe you are getting to involve in dangerous hands and thinking you have to win because you have the nuts after the flop or big pair before flop
try playing a bit more tight and betting instead of putting yourself allin

doyle brunson brought up the point that he once saw phil helmuth lay down an open ended str8 flush draw in early position.a pocket pair is only 2 out of 7 cards.i am not however denying that pokerstars is crooked.

Lion, I don't understand what your point is.

Looking over ALL of your hands from what you provided. No wonder they banned you for spamming and whining. Your going all in preflop with substandard hands and expecting to win them all? Come on man, you're asking for it pushing in with coinflips. The only bad beat I saw was the trip 7's that busted your pocket Jacks. But hey, if you ever want to play poker.. EMAIL ME RIGHT AWAY!!!
