Is that just bad luck? |
In the realm of real life, that would be beyond bad luck - it'd be terrible luck. However, in the realm of
PokerStars, that's definitely not bad luck... it's just how they script their hands. Just curious, how did your opponent play his hands both times? I'm guessing he played dogshit hands with which he called a raise pre-flop, knowing well-ahead of time that he'd hit something miraculous (they always do). I wouldn't be surprised if they do let donkeys win miraculous hands like that for the sole purpose of keeping them around. Honestly, I've noticed that a lot (if not all) of the players who hit ridiculous hands like that are losing badly on sharkscope.
Also, if you'll read my previous posts in this thread, I talk about
PokerStars possibly putting computer-controlled bots into their SnGs. What I've found strange recently is that each person I've suspected to be a bot has the same trend in sharkscope - they either win $0 or are in the top 9, every single time. I've been doing some math regarding the maximum possible payout potential in SnGs if
PokerStars uses bots and it's really pretty astonishing. I'll post that a little bit later once I get it fine-tuned.
