I can just picture it now...

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

The PRESIDENT of PokerStars sleeps soundly in bed next to his wife.

A red phone on the nightstand RINGS.

The President wakes up immediately and grabs the phone.

PRESIDENT
Talk to me.

POKERSTARS EMPLOYEE (O.S.)
We have a Code Blue, sir.

PRESIDENT
Code Blue?! One of our players is on to us??

POKERSTARS EMPLOYEE (O.S.)
Yes, sir. Player #3948710984012. He sent us an email saying our site is rigged. Apparently he lost twice with bullets and his flush got broken by a straight flush.

PRESIDENT
Damn it! I thought we rewrote the programs to be less obvious than that? I'm surprised only one player caught on!

POKERSTARS EMPLOYEE (O.S.)
What do we do?

PRESIDENT
What do you think you idiot? Give him status 13AC. Let him win with 7-4 offsuit, 6-2 suited. Any two cards, this guy wins.

POKERSTARS EMPLOYEE (O.S.)
But sir, he will win literally hundreds of dollars!

PRESIDENT
I know, but if this is what it takes then it's what it takes.

POKERSTARS EMPLOYEE (O.S.)
I'll get right on it.

The President hangs up the phone.

His wife stirs and rolls over.

WIFE
What's wrong dear?

PRESIDENT
Nothing honey. Just a close call. Go back to sleep. All is right with the world now.

[/ QUOTE ]

POTY. I need to become status 13AC.

I guess just a coincidence that as soon as I complained I started to get the cards. Just makes you think.

A hallmark of stupidity is assigning meaning to coincidences. Not that you're stupid, or anything, but it just makes you think.

A few weeks ago the wife was away for the weekend so I played alot of tourneys on Pokerstars. I was on the worst run/beat beats that you could imagine.

I thought you were about 14 years old, but you have a wife. So you must be older, sigh.
Long story short, no one cares about bad beat stories... EVER - even your close friends and loved ones don't want to hear them - and certainly a bunch of strangers looking to discuss actual poker strategy do not want to listen you whine about bad beats -

try looking around the forum for a couple of weeks before you start posting a lot - I'm still fairly new and am still in the settling in phase on these boards - there is a lot to be learned by just reading - there is nothing to be learned by spamming dumbass bad beat and conspiracy posts on the forum

This kind of stuff makes you wonder if we should have IQ tests for new posters.

A) losing to a str8 on a board of 789TJ should happen to you if you are possibly going to call with middle pair there.
B) your flush was probably lost to 4 cards to a str8 flush on the board and you couldnt get rid of your lone As (ex 789Ts)
C) if you think that you are getting sucked out on and it's fixed our boy Danny Nguyen from this week's WPT event gives us hope that there are just alot of live ones like him on the internet who fall in love with the prospects of an inside str8 draw.
C) You killed your argument once you said you were drunk enough to not remember what you wrote to PokerStars

Mike

You're totally right, this other day, I was playing on pokerstars, and I took the most ridiculous bad beat ever. I had pocket kings,... and an ace came on the flop! WTF is that? Rigged I tell you, Rigged!
