Of course pokers rigged.lol.

I love this.A lot of times i'm playing my B&M tournies i hear a fair number of the older guys bemoaning the internet.

Really serious,saying its fixed,or some giant conspiracy once you win a big amount you need to cash out immediately because the site will be out to get you and you'll be outdrawn more than normal.

Daft really but this thinking is probably far more common than you would think especially amongst older players.

I'm not sure if you are trying to tell us what old guys at b&m's say...or if you are repeating it, and agreeing with tehm

No,i'm not agreeing with them.

Of course poker is rigged.lol
Daft really but this is probably.......

The big stack does win like 90% of the time for real it is ridiculous. I Chopped the $3 +R last night too, so you can't really say that I'm whining. IT's like a fact, and it's ******ed, if the big stack has like 50 more BB's than you it's basically some kind of flaw in Stars software that you're gonna lose like 90% of the time and it doesn't ****ing matter how big of a favorite you are ever. No bull ****.

No way, whenever I've got the bigstack those shorties are ****ing immortal and then I get sucked out on by teh CL.
Like 91% of the time imo
You're doing it wrong, why give yourself such a short stack? BE the chip leader and reap the benefits.
I'll play you in a HU tourney where you ship me a 2-1 advantage and i bet quite a lot less than the buyin that you win.

Tytytytyty OP, I thot I was the only one!!

PM me and we can start a culb!

And Rek, NO LIMEYS allowed.

Those steps are the worst

you win by having a hand hold .

I apparently didnt learn that lesson today, despite more than doubling my roll in an mtt today....bah!

Easy. Don't play hands versus anyone who's in a hotseat. Don't play big hands like AA or KK, because PokerStars loves to make those hands lose. And call when a short stack goes in no matter what your hand is since you should win 90% of the time. It's Stars' way of keeping the tournament moving.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Poker Stars, but in fact that you are the one person on earth that Jesus doesn't love. Sorry for the inconvenience, motherf***er.

Over the past few weeks I've heard lots of "Jokerstars" and "Riverstars" when a player has gone into a hand as favorite and lost and it really gets on my tits!

Suggesting to the conspiracy theorists that they should try another site or just stop playing online doesn't tend to go down well.

Quit pushing so much when you are not a small stack if you don't have the nuts... You leave it to a coin toss a majority of the time when you could just work your way up in small increments. AK is still just 2 high cards and coullose to 72 in an all in situation. It's easy to feel that your hand deserves to win when the flop comes down and you miss it completely. Control your bet amounts when you raise ppreflop and postflop and know when to fold them.

everyone knows poker stars is rigged. play on a fair site like absolute or ultimate bet

He has nice hair.

O wait



I think it's due to this thread so thanks OP

wtf winning tourneys at Stars is easy imo you must be doing it wrong (jk)
Seriously though, the play in non-holdem tourneys is way worse than the play in holdem (I'm not very good at NLH tourneys but really people don't even know the basics of other games and just knowing those can give you a huge edge on the drove)
I busted out of a $6 plo8 rebuy (Party) in the second hour and it was still 7 or 8 to the flop. Sickening but yummy.

This helped a little

yes

how do u win...get ur hands in bad and hope for the miracle dealer help...happens more than u think imo!

sexy

I thought he'd fold TPNK. Bad play

Honestly I probably would have. But I can just hear his thoughts as this hand played out.

"I gots top pair! I calls!"

"Ohh! I makes my straight! Ship it!"

"Wha!?!.....oh"

It wasn't his day. He was killing until this



After this the winner of the hand (and second in chips) went on away and didn't return, finishing third He must have thought he'd lost.
Anyway, /hijack

Wow, holy bad play, Batman!

Actually I will try to let OPlive vicariously through my entire triumphant success and see if it works

oddrisk sits out from hand 167 on and gets third

Hand 200 I didn't see I had a boat

Lol im not gonna Lie.. I play alot of tournaments online and wether im on the short stack or Big stack

IT always seems like the short stack looses even if they got AA vs 7-3 offsuit

lol classic
