Re: Which Site?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] He's played on Stars occasionally, but seems to dislike the frequency of the bad beats so he's searching for a new site. [/ QUOTE ] I have had a surprising bad luck streak on Stars for about 14 months. I'm sure it's just variance though. Or maybe not. I think your friend is right to look elsewhere. [/ QUOTE ] Actually I've changed my mind. Everyone how reads this should stay the hell away from stars especially if you play 3/6 or 5/10 6m.

Re: Which Site?
I probably should chime in here. I am indeed "the friend", and my big beef with stars is that I think the quality of play there is by far worse than anywhere else. Ive played at party, stars, royal vegas, and pokerroom. I like the options stars gives you, but I think all these newbies see the advertisements on espn and what not, and qucikly jump to stars. My problem with stars isnt the poker-initiated bad beats, its the pricks who call preflop with j-7 offsuit after I quintuple the big blind with KK, and then get beat. Thats my main problem, but I've since moved to full tilt, and I haven't had much problems yet.

I'm sure the people playing 1000NL on stars aren't calling many raises with J7o. You should do great.

BTW, I am not trying to be condescending. If you want to take it that way, so be it.

You should be looking to play with the weakest opposition possible. Yes, it opens the possibility for more bad beats, but over the long run you win the most when the ability gap between you and your opponents is the greatest. If you pounded with KK against J7, you did the right thing. Whether you won the pot or not doesn't matter. BTW, Stars has a reputation of having players that are somewhat tougher than at Party or anywhere else.
