Thought I'd play a bit on pokerstars as I have money on an account there that just sits idle (I never play on there... aside from occassional CC games). Played a bit of 5NL-6max 'for fun' last night & was kinda shocked at how bad the play was there (comparatively speaking...ie. fulltilt.... big difference!!).
I used to play some sngs on Stars when I first began playing online, ran with ok ROI of +15% but then had a 21game no itm downswing with one brutal beat after another, which turned me off of playing on there (yah... we like bad players... right? lol).
Thought I'd give a few SNG's a shot today (what was I thinking?).
Here's a couple of hands that played out...... ctheflop takes it down btw, lol.
villain (ctheflop - 68.8/12.5/0.9 ColdCall-100%, FoldSB-0%, FoldBB-0%)

skillzzzz... (one of his better played hands actually)

OP,

This is an anomaly to his game -- see here:

Cheers,
docStats

Umm well you gave a link to the wrong guy. Guys name is ctheflop53, may or may not be a multi accounter, and the stats really aren't much different but here http://www.pokerprolabs.com/ctheflop53/pokerstars.aspx .

As for Pokerstars having "worse" players in the SnGs then Full Tilt I really find that laughable, as I see the same horrible players on both sites.

And may I ask how you copied the hand history for that hand once you were out?
