As i posted earlier it could be that pokerstars info runs through a port on the internet that at one time was known to have a virus. Zone alarm will pick this up as a high risk every time, even if it has been cleaned out. That is the likely explanation.

OK. I see. You were dealt a card that appeared on the flop in the same hand, and you did not save the hand history. I fully understand.

I myself was dealt AA 183 times in a row, and, a miracle, every single one of these hands was busted by 76 off. Hand histories to prove - I did not want to waste space, so I deleted all of them. But you trust me, of course. Why would I lie - I love this site.

If you are using the free Zonealarm you can get the IP address where the connection attempt originated and run a whois search to find out the domain it came from (if you have the Pro version of Zonealarm, this feature is already enabled). Get the IP and go to www.arin.net and enter a whois search (top left on page) and you get complete domain ownership info. If it appears the attempts are coming from pokerstar's servers this mystery is (probably) solved.

Thanks Jedi and nutz, I didn't start this thread to bash ANY site. We see too much of that already. I will do as you suggest nutz and try and trace the IP's. I will do this in the next couple of days and report back. Are either one of you able to understand the information I get from Zonealarm in case I'm not? Also what I thought was really weird was that a GREAT % of the attempts came when I was playing 2/4 PL Omaha, but not 1/2 limit. I did this on purpose at the same sight yet such a big difference. That is what stunned me. If it had been consistent at Pokerstars no matter which game then I probably wouldn't have even posted this. I am definitely not one of the "net conspiracy kooks". Just trying to understand why.

How about I send you the 20,000 hands and u find em?

Send them to me at the following address:

monsterpoker@spamhole.com

within the next 24 hours and I will find this hand and post here.

Sorry, but I have to take your arithmetic to task. It would only require playing 120 hands/hour (which is feasible playing two tables) for 8 hours a day for 21 days.

Isn't anybody going to laugh at this incredibly funny joke?

I mean come on - try getting dealt 7-2 offsuit 100 times and losing every single time to A-A, now that is what I call a bad beat.

David, sure just post some of the alerts up here and I'll be happy to try and figure them out if you like.

Red Light Syndrome.

Pure and simple.

You're imagining the patterns.
