Hi, after many years of card playing at school and college,i decided to have a pop on the world famous POKERSTARS,I thought big brand name,lots of professionals,ill give it a go.
At first everything went well,all the usual hands won,made some final tables,even won a couple of low (22 dollar) MTT s ,and at one stage was really looking good at ranking 1,100 out of 652,000 in world...but strangely i did think how come i have only been playing a month and im ranked that high?
I played in sunday million through satelite qualifier,and all was going well until at 1100 place ( money at 1080) i was dealt ACE ACE,the flop came ACE KING KING,i checked and player 2 went all in,two player s folded,and I (thinking my luck was definately in) called.
This pot was well over 1,500,000 in chips and would have made a great base to make it well into the money.Anyway cards go over He has QUEEN QUEEN,i am laughing......Turn QUEEN,River QUEEN........I am looking at my screen ,thinking it is some sort of joke...what is that? i have never seen such a hand...so in my anger i write a letter to pokerstars support asking what the f... was going on? and i get a reply saying basically once in 1980 this happened in the wsop and that because they deal 1,000,000 hands every day ( cant remember exact figure) you should expect bad beats....and you might get a months worth in a day because the game is so much faster online...
I though ok,maybe,is possible once in a while...so i decided to start filming my playing...and calculate the odds.....OMG it got so bad that i started making YOUTUBE videos about these bad beats SEARCH DJBLACKEYE if you want to see....
UNBELIEVEABLE
i played one day a month,and i had enough bad beats to make a video every month until i stopped...Also i thought id have a moan at cardchat.com where i ran into A man called with screen name STU UNGER ( real man by this name is poker legend-deceased)whose sole purpose in life seems to be ridiculing people who say pokerstars is fixed...and after a few posts including some of my youtube videos i was banned...no reason..just banned...
Now back to the mathematics,i can actually now prove it is a fix...and if you watch my youtube videos especially the one titled THE FIX,you will see that no matter what happens you will lose if it wants you to...
It is a shame that Poker for all its sins has been violated in this way.
