This idiot had 6... SIX.. ANTI-OUTS to escape total domination, and hits. This happens constantly at pokerstars.

A personal word to Pokerstars management: you can find this hand, you know who I am. Tell Terrance the programmer to get my FKING name off the HITLIST asap. My patience is at an end.

The number of people willing to call a reraise with KQ is
scary I agree, but we have to deal with it.

don't play poker anymore...you don't have the stomach for it.

He clearly made a play for you (a bluff) and whether out of ignorance or out of stupidity you called a massive reraise...he should have had at least A high and then he would have been able to shut you down legitimately but he was trying to bluff you, and most good players would have laid it down...but not you.

As it was, you were no more then a 3-1 favorite. You don't like playing 3-1 draws, then I suggest you get out of poker.

Jeez louise....you'd think no one ever lost a 3-1 draw before...I've had AA snapped off by KK in real life and on the internet....big news clip...you get run down in real life too...ask Phil Hellmuth who had the exact same thing happen to him at this year's WSOP

he made a play from the big blind late in the tourney, you foolishly called with a drawing hand, and you discuss his outs?? he was all-in!! for a rigged shuffle conspiracy poster, i must say you are presenting an example that is pretty lame.

He clearly has no understanding of probability, math, or poker. I want him in my game, even if he does think it's a conspiracy every time he gets beat by someone playing almost as stupid as him.

...to all of you who said the things I might have (but didn't in my role as PokerStars PR flak).

Alternatively of course the programming could be rigged so that AA never gets beat and that the hand in front before the flop always wins on the river.

I like the point about them calling a massive reraise with a drawing hand - anyone would have though their initial raise was with AA. Try getting pocket aces cracked a few times then come back, though we still wont listen /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
