I've noticed a couple interesting trends lately on PokerStars. First, if you have QA and are actually lucky enough to have it hit on the flop (a rarity on PokerStars), then someone else is sure to have a better hand. My friend and I have actually started folding it pre-flop because it always loses and it's been working out well. I've played it a few times recently just to see what would happen and each time I hit I've had someone dominated only to watch them suck out on the river. Second, if you're holding QQ, you may as well lay it down even if you hit trips, because someone will have you beat 100% of the time. I can't tell you how many times I've had QQ busted by someone who stayed in the hand with terrible hole cards and won on the river - usually runner runner.

Another strange thing I've noticed is in tournament play. When short stacks move in, if they're called by one of the bigger stacks at the table then they almost always double up (roughly 90%), regardless of what they hold. This has about a 50% chance of happening to you, the human player, but if you really do hold a good hand (AA, KK), then you can have a good laugh as everyone folds to you 100% of the time.

This might not be THE way they bias the games but it is 1 way and with millions at stake and a felon for an owner in Costa Rica…….

So true. Do you all really trust some company based in Costa Rica? Even if PokerStars was one day proven to be the rigged bullshit that it is, I absolutely guarantee that the assholes behind it would face no reprimand whatsoever. IT'S COSTA RICA.

Gamble your money the smart way - stick with brick and mortar. Don't let these assholes that run this rigged poker site get another penny of your hard-earned money.
