Pokerstars is a programming ripoff, intended to favor the underdog

I guess after bitching to support and getting chat banned for a month, they fled sorry for me. My last $10. I turned into $180.
Now I have to keep playing.

I wish you could buy equity/insurance. I;d be a millionaire in one day.

If you could buy river insurance for the best hand on pokerstars you could retire in a month, hands down that site is programmed to river people. You can play poker all year in real life and not get the river outdraws you get in a week on pokerstars.

If you go all in on the turn and dude has any outs prepare to have your account taxed.

i played at a site the other day for thesportsbook.com
very first hand i played there the 5 cards were akqj10 of spades so everyone hit the royal
2 hands later i was dealt q9 spades and the flop comes 10,8,k spades so i floped a straight flush
10 minites later 4 to a royal came and the guy to my left hit it
so approx 10 minutes of playing i saw 2 royals and 1 straight flush,
not saying its rigged or not but wow thats some pretty high odds

the odds of that happening is unreal, I have never seen a royal flush in real play my whole life
