So... you folded 31 junk hands then went all in with A 10 and lost. Your sample size is 32 hands in one tournament. And you think the site is rigged. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I get the same hands in tourneys on Pokerstars, especially in the free rolls. It's been nothing but crap for me. If I check and fold until I get something good to play, the blinds eat me up. So on the few occasions when I do get something halfway decent, I decide to play and get nothing on the flop. Not even a draw of any kind.

I just finished a free roll with the same results. My chip stack was down to 500 (shortest stack), and with 7 or 8 people calling preflop every hand and winning with crap, I decided to go all in with KK to keep them out, hoping to get 1 or 2 calls. It was a desperate attempt to get my chip stack back up. I got called by AK, A on the river and I was out. I finished 4195 out of 9000. Other people were playing crap and hitting the flop all the time. My crap never hit anything, unless you count the fan LOL. One guy was going all in every 3 hands and when somebody called he was winning with stuff like 8-4 and 6-3 and beating pocket J or K or A.

I also noticed that when I first sign in to play I usually get good cards a lot and that's when I'm most successful, but the longer I play the more crap cards I get and it's impossible to do anything but fold every hand. I'll play the $1 multitable sit and go's and the $1 10 person double or nothings and do ok at first. I can make the final table or at least come close about 20-30% of the time in the multitables and finish in the top 5 in the double or nothings, which is all you need. But the longer I play, I can't even finish 5th in the 10 person double or nothing tourneys and the multitables are a waste of time. I can't do anything when I get trash cards all the time. I can't bluff every hand.

This seems to be a daily thing for me.

How do people manage to keep winning on that site? I know I'm not a great poker player, I'm still learning the game, but even I know the best players can't do much with cards like that all the time. I love playing and trying to learn poker, but what can i do?

I also ran into the thing with the table closing as soon as it got down to me and one other player and I ended up the winner. That was when I first joined the site and didn't know what was going on. I figured the other person was disconnected or something (but it didn't say he was disconnected or sitting out). But later on I ended up in the final 2 with disconnected or sitting out (I don't remember which it was) players twice. I figured the table would close and I would be the winner like my first experience. I was wrong. I had to sit there and play and bet while the other player automatically folded every hand until he had no more chips left. THEN I was the winner. WTF? lol

I love poker but this just seems strange LOL.

That was hilarious. Thank you OP.

Also...in some tournament players can make a deal where they split the money if they both agree on it. I'm not sure if stars does that as well as I rarely play large tournies there anymore...so that might explain your well thought out bot theory.

Sorry...but these rigged stories from new posters/players gets a bit silly/old sometimes.
