Default Pokerstars is rigged

Does anyonelse feel that Pokerstars is rigged? The flops are not random, the turns entice betting and the river ALWAYS falls as the winning hand. I have seen this on play money tables the most and tourneies, and i have observed real money tables. They can say they hav random deals, shuffles and community cards but i feel that is a utter lie... I had Qd - 9h and the flop was Qs- 6c - 7d
turn was 9c and the river was Jd so my 1 oppenent had 8-10d suited adn won with straight. This was the similar patteren on many of the hands that iplayed and watched. The turn enticed me to bet big b/c i high 2 pair and then he pulls out a river card? Anyone else feel that Pokerstars is not a random game.....Please give me feedback

It's not rigged. You may just suck at poker.

Let's face it. When you get bad beats in person, it sucks but you can accept it. When you get bad beats on the computer, there will always be something in the back of your mind that says it is rigged because it is on a computer. I do not play on the computer anymore because it is too addicting and I will never trust it 100%.

only possible benefit of that would be to increase the rake. the more action there is, the higher of a rake they can take. thats the only thing that i could possibly see for a reason, but dont misconstrue my comment, im not saying i believe the game is rigged, only that this could be a possible reason as to why it is.

If you're so bad that you don't understand he beat you on the turn, then I have absolutely zero faith in your ability to determine whether their deal is rigged or not.

a good friend of mine is playing 100/200 at pokerstars (not naming him since i know he wants to be as anonymous as can be, online as well as on forums) and he is a BIG winning player (talking about 5 digits/month yes sirree) and hes suspecting the same thing. That statistically the underdog wins too often, counted over thousands and thousands of hands. I do not know a thing about this so im just quoting, and probably the original poster here cant take a bad beat (if this even counts as one), but it isn't totally impossible imo because of the reasons stated above. All i know for sure is, that humankind has been known for stranger scamming urges,once they get those big dollarsigns in their eyes...
