Pokerstars "AA/KK" specialized report?

[jaydoggie]

one day my friend sent me a spreadsheet of him losing with AA 9 of 9 times in a day. he told me he emailed pokerstars and asked if he could have all the hand histories of the times he was dealt AA, but they sent him the hand histories in some spreadsheet form. so months later i ask them for a history of the times ive had KQ in sngs to show my friend that i dont often play that hand in the early goings of the lowest limit sngs. pokerstars told me

"The pocket aces and pocket kings report we have is actually a specialized, specific report we use. Unfortunately we do not have similar reports for other starting hands."

it's 6AM my brain isnt functioning at a high rate, what purposes would pokerstars have a specific report of AA/KK?

My guess would be it's the hand combinations most requested by players, and thus, they set up a form for easy access.

It's mostly for bad beat responses - when players mail in complaining that their big hands never hold up etc, we can simply mail them this report and they can see for themselves that they're just remembering the times they lose, not the times they win.

It's also good for displaying variance - "if we look at the run from hand A to hand B, we can see 3 wins from 10. Yet if we look at hand C to hand D, there are ten straight wins".

It's probably also used to help catch people playing as a team where one of the players might build the pot up with KK then fold preflop because of his friends AA.

prolly cuz they get lots of emails from whiners complaing that their AA lost so many times that its rigged.

I assumed the report dealt with hands where there was an AA and a KK dealt. A hand where KK was folded preflop would probably raise a red flag. So I believe my post was correct and did not need to be FYP'd.
