pokerstars is the best online poker site out there but the beats are sometimes too hard to believe. AA loses at least 40% of the time on the site and some say thats just poker but others disagree saying that the site is "rigged". Its just not realistic to see an AA fullhouse lose to quad 7's on the river. What are the odds of your opponent catching that case 7 ya know? But its not only about Aces. Every player has their day, and every player gets murdered sometimes, but the site's interface and gameplay are amazing and Pokerstars is where the money is at.

I play Pokerstars a lot. I have heard this argument for 2 days lingering on the site. It is not the interface, the site has a lot of action. The more people play the more bad beats there will be it's the law of average's. That case 7 hits only one or two percent of the time but that is with everyset not just when it is against a bigger set. So you have to factor that in to the pecentage the site plays thousands of hands per minute and it is just one out of several hundred thousand per day so the odds of it hitting per day is high just sucks when it is vs you. Another thing I've heard is that there are too many flushes. I feel that it is due to players playing for the flushes if every 2 suited cards comes looking for a flush there will be more flushes dealt. I play UB and Pokerstars regularly and I feel both are major sites with top notch services. I give the edge to Pokerstars with the easy to order from FPP Store and the ability to get an administrator to a tournament to chop up the payouts.:)

The microlimits on Stars are extremely easy. Do you honestly believe the site is rigged? :rolleyes: Catching a fourth 7 is possible, and therefore it will happen. In fact, it happened to me in a live PLO game, so yes, those things happen. Part of the reason people get sucked out on Stars is because the players are bad, but that is a good thing! You will win more in the long run!

Your right about one thing, that pokerstars is the best internet poker site out there, but pocket aces doesnt lose 40% of the time. it probably loses about 1 time out of every 3 or 4 hands so thats 25-30%.. which it usually does in reagular game.. i dont know what ur talken about full house gettin beat by 4 of a kinds, because that would be sick but that doenst happen often.

I've played a few sites, and my order of preference is...

1. pokerstars - best interface, best customer service, great selection of games, and plenty of online tournaments.

2. Full Tilt- I like it mostly for the razz and low buy in MTT's and the bonuses are nice too.

3. Party- Very loose games, great selection of games, customer service isn't as good as the others, and I hate the interface.

4 Pacific- Never much cared for it, played it a few times, and decided I didn't like it very well.

Haven't tried many of the other sites.

I've been playing UB for about a year now.. I hate random tables. I'm a sng person I don't know why. I'll join a table here and there but for the most part I love sng's I made 50 dollars off the 5$'s I had left in my account on UB, it's an excellent site. Planet poker is great if you enjoy 5card. I enjoy those two the most but you can catch me on pokerhost at times, noble at night during thier sng's. I always manage to win the omaha sng's.

i think different

ive been playing on pokerstars for 3 years now and ive had pocket aces quite a few times and they have only lost about 6 times...thats about 15% of how many times i have had them on there so 40% i think is wrong

Poker's Tards (poker Stars) is the best in my opinion too but FullTilt or Paradise is nice if you want something a little more low-key, with less players, which tends to mean more solid players overall. They're tough on Paradise.

i play on poker stars and they do have quite a few advantages, especially all the wsop satellites but the bad beats kill me ....kk vs aa vs qq is not an unlikely site so dont be afraid to fold your high pockets because someone probly hashigher pockets...my friends have good things to say about UB but just for a warning they did have some problem with betting on the superbowl...UB didnt give them all the money that was covered by the point spread but they eventually got it...
