I have always believed that the software used by Pokerstars is honest and reliable, I have been the victim of some real bad beats and suck-outs, only yesterday I got it all in good with pocket 7/7 and was called by 7/3 suited Diamonds, guess who made the flush?
Yes you guessed right the 7/3 made a diamond flush. Now I don't really know what the percentages would be but I am pretty sure I was Favorite going to the flop.
But that's Poker, in an all-in situation any 2 cards can win, it just depends on if you want to gamble, Obviously he felt lucky and went with his gut, I later on made a straight with Jack/5 off and trebled up my meager stack of 3 BB to 9 BB after shoving with it.
Live games always happen at a slower pace and as such, you do not see that many bad beats and suck-outs, but they do happen and probably with the same frequency. I have been witness to many all-in shoves with Pocket Aces, and then see them crushed by a smaller pocket pair hitting trips, It happens! I have sometimes been the Victim and the Villain in those situations.
If you don't like being the victim of these situations then I would suggest you take up another pastime, because no matter what form of poker you play, you will always find these events happening to you. That's Life, That's Poker.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
