Stars is rigged for different 2 different reasons.

1. In a cash game table closes in middle of hand and 5 hours latter my money is still sitting at table.

2. In a tourny with decent chip stack, nod out for a few minutes, somehow get booted and when I attempt to log in cannot because system thinks I am still logged in. Send message marked urgent to support, no response for 35 minutes, just in time for me to be knocked out. Claimed hanging login.

Love the bs

Again, you making the statement does not make it reality.

That doesn't matter because as long as you are successful in your reality, who really cares if your assessment of who I am is anywhere near reality right?

It is your version of Disneyland so go ahead and cast me as one of the ghosts in the haunted mansion and I will cast you as Mickey Mouse. What the heck, lets cast Yarbles as Goofy and Wiki as Donald Duck!

So I put in my first good session in a long while today - just over 2100 hands.

A couple of interesting stats, maybe someone can confirm
how rigged my deal was...

I hit quads once.
Was dealt AA 3x and profited a whopping 5bb's
Got KK 6x but managed to show a loss of roughly 14bb's, despite being pretty far ahead a couple of times when the money went in.
I STILL managed to finish up about 11bb's/100.
I haven't deposited in AGES, but perhaps their marketing team saw I haven't played much in ages.

So, Goldern Account or rigged for fish? Be honest, I can take it. But you have to explain your reasoning how it helps the site make more money by letting me win "more than I'm supposed to." Of course I think I win about as much as I'm supposed to, but I'm willing to listen to alternate theories.

Not that I am totally convinced that the big sites are rigging the deal, but if something was happening over your sample at that site, it could be that there is a need to throw you bigger starting hands to get you and your style committed more often so they can leach a little equity off of you back to the fishies to keep them paying rake? This would probably have to have a limit on it so you dont find the evidence in the reports you run.

Now the question is...how could they hide this in the stats when the site goes through its audits. I'll bet there is a way to do it, but I cant figure it out...

I think they had a couple of chimpanzee's with baseball bats ready to hit the shuffling machine if it jammed up. They didn't need that happening on the first day...

I know this is a small sample, but do you think that you ran below expectation? You said that you were way ahead with KK several times and lost. If something was going on and they decided to leak a little equity out of you to a weaker player, could it have happened right there?

edit: I am assuming that you are showing a positive ROI over your larger sample? If not, then the large hands were thrown to you to give you a plus on the handicapping? I just seems difficult to determine without more info. I can see why someone like Spade would get frustrated with some of the rigtardigans.
