Never thought I'd be a conspiracy theorist, but..

[RamGad]

I am a complete whore at Poker Stars. I only play the bonuses and cashout immediately after I clear the bonus. I honestly think that they have given up on me as a regular customer and set up the shuffler to suck me out to please the regulars. I am a 3bb / 100 regular at Party shorthanded and the shorthanded players at Stars seem even worse! Not sure where they get their reputation as TAGs. Anyway, the last three bonuses I have went to showdown 34% and have a SD% of 48% over 5000 hands. Never went through a streak that bad on Party. Although I admit the odds of them not being fair are probably < 2%, it's still a computer and a business run by greed, so I'll never be totally sure. Anybody else have this paranoia?

Just you and everyone else who loses at poker.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. I suggest buy an aluminum foil hat from my second cousin Eugene on Ebay. I'll give you his username if you pm me. It is guaranteed to block the secret microwaves and satellite signals Pokerstars is sending into your house. It also keeps away aliens and the CIA.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Responses I figured I'd get.

I am completely with you. I am very paranoid of online gambling sites.

Other things I am paranoid of:

- My house being hit by a meteor tommorrow
- That there are aliens living in the dirt below my house
- That I am just a big rat in a big cage, spinning a wheel
- that I really died 5 years ago, and this is just a long weird dream
- That the easter bunny and Santa are really KGB agents that just troll around the malls trying to pick up information for the COLD WAR

Anyone else have similiar paranoias?

[GrannyMae]

i think your game does not stack up at stars like it does at party. stars is a tough site to beat because there are better players there, not because of rigged software.

[Cleveland Guy]

Granny,

I was expecting more from you. This is almost a "real" reason.

[GrannyMae]

This is almost a "real" reason.

they impose a quota on me. 1 real answer per month or i gotta go.

How could anyone who has played at pokerstars say their deal is legit? Constant suckouts. Runner runner miracles. Sure there are better players, but that does not explain the suckouts and bad beats on the river. Lots of people call pokerstars, RIVERSTARS.

I won about 2 grand my first 2 weeks there and cashed out. I had an incredible run, followed by the worst string of beats imaginable. I uninstalled the software and never returned.

Also, lemme ask you guys this. Why is someone who makes this sort of complaint automatically a bad player? We as poker players do not control what cards come out. If someone is constantly getting rivered and sucked out on how can that make them a bad player? You can't always have the nuts.

Just sick and tired of seeing people degrade others just for posting their honest experience. Really shows how mature you people are.
