I have played PStars for years. At first I thought I was just paying my dues to learn how to be a better player. But I started to have sucess at other sites whereas it was one bad beat after another on this site. But I love the number of playes and game varieties on PStars. Well, in the last 7 days I lost over 10 all in confrontations where I was a solid favorite:
7 times - odds of winning (70/30)....AQ for example, versus A-rag
3 times- odds of winning (80/20)....KK versus 44
I lost every one of these hands. In a row.
The immediate response to my analysis I would guess would be that the sample size is just too small. But if you consider the odds of losing this many confrontations in a row - I get .000000524 as a chance of this happening. The odds of getting struck by lightning are .0000025. So my only conclusion here is something is really wrong at PStars.
Does anyone have statisical data to back up this note? I would be interested and welcome in seeing anyone to punch holes in this analysis.
Thanks

Either you are exaggerating, which I would put my money on, or you are just very unfortunate. I have been winning online for many years and of all the sites, pokerstars is the most trustworthy. I have had more sucess there than any other website. Trust me Ive had some sick stuff happen to me and taken some nasty beats, but when you play 20 tourneys a day, it all evens out in the long run.
