Subject: poker stars and bad beats

I had forgotten just how bad the beats are at PS. I am still slightly
ahead at the site and I dont play poker for the money but WOW are the
beats just brutal. I watched hand after hand of really bad beats by
other players and then when on the bubble, I got mine. If you really
believe that PS is like a live dealer game then you have not played much
live poker. Crying a little but at the stakes I play even a poor man
like me will not go broke soon.

The beats are brutal, but I see them less than 50 % of the show downs, so
I don't see them as 'jokerstars' any more.
What sticks in my mind is how consistently crappy my starting cards are.

I just deleted the software from my computer. 2 solid days of getting
smoked in sngs by 4 card straights, flushes, and river 2 outers. Not
one cash in 2 days ( I was chip leader with 4 players left 3 times) was
too much for me.

How is this possible? Is Minus 200 trolling? Minus 200 has been
around since the inception of internet poker and definitely knows how
to play. I remember when he was living in a Yugo, connecting to
PokerPages through the payphone at the gas station and doing ok in the
tourneys there. I think PokerStars must really be rigged. I wasn't
sure before but Minus 200 isn't some moron. He's a playah.

not a very good player and not one that believes on line is fixed. I
just think the carding is FAR different than live dealer poker. I may
be down in my tournament play $40-$50 but slightly up in Omaha8 play
where I play so tight that two table plus a side computer game keeps me
from going crazy with boredom
By the way - I never played at Poker Pages - I did play at Pokerspot &
Paradise. I am one of the few players that collected some money from
Poker Spot although when they closed I had $960 in my account
