Default Do you play at Pokerstars, you may want to read.

Couple of things.

1. It has been discovered that PS source code is being freely shared by the free source community. Very bad news for PS.

2. Does anyone have a similar issue while playing at PS.

I am a tournament player and do not play in regular games due to the collusion that is occurring online. I have played over 300 tournaments in the last 6 weeks alone on PS. I can average 10 to 15 games over a 15 hour period. These are all tournaments with atleast 500 or more players. I finish in the top 100 90% of my games, so this is not an issue about not being able to win.

Some striking coincedences.

Being beat AA to 777 6 times in a row.
Being beat KK to AAA 5 times in a row.

Seeing over 500 4 or 5 board flushes. That's 2 to 3 per game (I have never seen so many in all my card room years).

Being moved into non-productive seats while certain other players do not move and can just play without any skill. Non-productive meaning that you may have to fold 25 to 50 or more hands in order to find your winners.
One example was a game where 247 hands were delt, 26 saw flop 7 were played of which 6 were winners. I finished 8th out of 749.
290+ of my games were like this only 4 gave me a hot seat but as soon as I won big it moved me into one of those non-prductive seats and it will leave me their til someone loses or til it blinds me out while the big winners don't move. (I have my stats) It can make a good player go sour fast and BS would have outed me.
I have also noticed when I fold good pockets that are losers the software starts kickin me out and I am not sure if my style is setting off flags and thinking that this person could not possible pick only his winners, WELL PS THEY CAN. It really screws with my intuition when I am on but their dum software is tossing you, this needs re-evaluateing.
I average 1 winning hand out of every 12 to 25 hands and one solid winning game (top 1%) out of every 10 or more games.
The freerolls give me just the opposite and only the free rolls, if I play against a person that only plays free rolls it just lets me kill em then. It will give me 4 to 6 of every 10 hands and only the freerolls.

I am not sure if your VPP,FPP,balance and overall history have anything to do with your card average but if I play against well established players they average way more winning hands vs. if I play less established players it will then give me the advantage. This happens every time and I mean everytime.

There is a distinct pattern from their software that is blantly obvious and from being in the software industry at one point it has all the flags of a predetermined program.
Why wouldn't you want to appease your high rollers by making your less valued players pay for it?

I am not trying to slam them. I like the site and the prizes. I have taken into consideration the fact someone has to lose and you will have games that are just dead but should every game be this way in such a noticeable pattern. You may have dead hands but a dead seat that just keeps throwing losers to throw you out one way or another isn't fair and truly not random and I know everyone has seen those exact seats that it keeps sending people to and keeps giving the same losing cards and really no matter who get's in it you'll lose. I am not sure why the big dogs don't get them or as much?

Please take the time to evaluate your games and compare to see if there are any smiliarities. I have had too many coincedences since playing at PS and if you have had similar experiences post a thread.

Since I am not a high roller the program allows me to do well at .10-cent, 1.00 and 3,00 games. If I play larger games it positively outs me and this is done by comparing hands from all the games.
