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.

I'm not sure if you understand poker. 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.
