I had always thought this topic was pure BS until now. Because I have fallen victim to
Pokerstars pure BS. Anyways heres my story.
For the past few weeks I had changed my strategy after reading a few Poker books and started utilize some of the strategy. I was doing really well and eventually was up $3,000 from playing $100 to $200 Heads up Matches as well as $25 to $78 6 player matches. My wife had asked me if I can withdraw some of the money and buy her something with it. So I said sure, anyways I decided to withdraw $1000 of my winnings and figures I'll leave the other 2 grand for in there for now. and Guess what happens!!! since I withdrew the $1000, I had suddenly went on the worst bad luck streak I have ever seen in poker or anything else for that matter. when I first started losing I thought, okay a few bad beats, no problem, its a part of poker. Then when it continued happening and I was down to $1000 I thought okay something seem to be fishy. So I started keeping my bad beats statistics. I kept the stats of every situation since were I was ahead going into the river, and guess what. I have currently lost in 11 straight times when I'm ahead going into the river and my opponent just happened to magically catch the card that he needs. I have also lost and overall 27 of the last 33 times when I'm ahead going into the river. Not to mention my opponent just always catch miracle cards for some reason. Most of these times they have maybe a 5% chance of catching the cards. I have also lost since then 5 times when my opponents were dominated after the flop and they needed runner runner to get the lucky win and they get it. Now I know bad luck and bad beats are part of poker but I have not seen anything remotely close to this in real life. It's like there was a handicap put on me all the sudden and I can't win any important pots no matter how good my hand is because my opponents will always catch their miracle cards on the river or even runner runners. And of course is it really a coincidence that it just happens right after I withdrew some of my winnings. I shouldve listened to some of you and just withdrew it all. I think I'm done with
Pokerstars, its a complete Joke!!! Anyone know any other good sites.
