Shit like this happens all the time! The hand is designed for 1 reason! to get both players chips into the middle, that way 1 player is gone. Pokerstars can't make any more money from you unless they get you out of 1 tourny to have you enter another. Also it seem these BB hands are always junk hands that you think could not possibly hit the other player, but it does. My last 3 shootout tournys ended this way.
1st tourny: 45s in SB (call) flop comes 547, being the short stack I push only to get called by 47 and the turn hits another 7
2nd tourny: K9 in BB (check) flop comes Q29 I bet get called turn K again I push only to see he has 10 J
3rd tourny: K7 in BB (check) flop comes K78 I go all-in get called by SUPRISE! K8
There are many more hands like this, and it happens so often, i usally tell myself out loud hear comes the 9 or whatever card the other guy needs to make that miraculas str8 on the river.
I sent emails to Pokerstars, and I get the same ole "you see more hands online". I also said that the calls I see people make a blind monkey wouldn't make. there response was if the bad palyers always folded the tourny would go on forever. That tells me that it seems like they encourage bad play. Well I have $4 left when it's gone, so am I!! |
I agree and have been accumulating information to prove your above theory.
When you end up short for any reason, beware of your BB that's all I can say. I don't care if you get AQ, AK, AA, pp, anything, you better know that if you get in the hand you are going down to a deep stack. If you get any good starting hands and the deepstack is on their BB, you can predict that they will call your all in or raise and will have the nuts hit the board in their favor.
This cannot be coincidence. This cannot be random. This cannot be based on luck. There is definately something fishy going on at the ps site.
I have sat through a whole game without being able to play a hand because the cards were so bad or the flops continually missed causing me to short stack and then going out with a premium hand to the deep stacks rags. I have gone a whole game with no cards above a 10, no pp, nothing until the final hand where I get a pp or
AK and go out to the deep stack.
I know there is something in their software that can be adjusted and can be fixed to favor. Anything is possible when it comes to software.
Whoever tested ps software is either wrong or the alternative.
PS may be a big company now, but they are not above the law whether it be moral or otherwise.
