Default Never playing on PS again -- I already know I'm a degen

Ok so fuck PS, for realz. It might not be a downsing I'm experiencing anymore, I might not just be able to run well or win on this site. Not saying it's rigged or anything, but I do think it's very possible to just run terrible on a site. And Stars is that site for me.

I'm sitting in my college library bored off my ass from studying for Economics, I threw $15 into PS with my debit card to just fuck around.

OBVIOUSLY, I win a $12 45-man turbo for $155 or whatever (either 54 or 55). OBVIOUSLY. So I say fuck it, I'd only be losing $15 and can't even cash out for 2 days anyway.

So I fire up 2 $55 SNGs. First one, I'm down to about 950 at the 75/150 level. I get 44 in the CO and push. I get 2 callers. JTo and AJo. A on the river OBVIOUSLY.

So in the second one, this bullshit proceeds to happen. If there was ever someone doomswitched on Stars, it's me.

Also, I thought the play was supposed to be better at these levels?

These hands are within 5 of each other.

*********************

Now I have never once accused a site of being rigged. I chalk it all up to variance. But I just find it hilarious that I put in $25 or $30, win $150+ (you've seen the threads, guys) then proceed to get my ass handed to me by the POKERSTARS DOOMSWITCH OF DEATH.

I'm jumping back into FTP when I "officially" come back with a bankroll in the middle of the summer. I understand I pretty much bring this all on myself by depositing small ass amounts and then playing underrolled. I understand that so save the lectures. But the thing is, this doomswitch has been bending me over for the last month and a half even when I did have a bankroll. I dropped 22 straight BIs (you've seen those threads too)

So I'll be coming back in the middle of the summer with $600 and I'll be on FTP and UB. I'm going to multi-table the $11s and sign up for rakeback under both sites. I was thinking of coming back and playing ring but honestly, while the money might be there, ring bores the shit out of me.

And for the first time I'm addressing the problem. Because I'll keep going back to PS knowing it's there and I can deposit small and fuck around. I SAY NO MORE!

YOURE DEADLY SERIOUS.
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT POKERSTARS THO.
1day the truth will come out. I think they could easly mess with players chances of winning quite easily. but proving it would be near impossible.
