No you never said it was rigged, although that is not clear in your post. Your post actually speaks to a very important principle that most players don't pay enough attention to.

State of mind.

If you feel you are running bad, you shouldn't play. In your case, you feel you will run bad at stars forever, so although you probably realize that this is not true, the fact that you "feel" that way means you shouldn't play there.

I try to discipline myself to never play when I am feeling negative for whatever reason. I still do once in a while but I definitely have my worst results when I play when I know I am not in a good mental frame of mind. It's a little easier for me to stick to this since poker is my part-time job, not full-time.

So, if you "feel" you are unlucky at Stars, it doesn't matter that there is no sound basis for this feeling. This negative "stigma" that you have attached to playing at Stars will definitely cause you to make bad decisions that will cost you money there.

Hopefully you feel more comfortable playing at Party. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
