Pokerstars dealing

[dougwatts]

Hey Folks,

I have been questioning this for some time, finally decided to ask a forum to see what other people think. I play mainly on pokerstars, I play a high volume when I play as well (anywhere from 1k to 3k cash hands in one session). I honestly feel like the dealing algorithm is off on pokerstars. For example, tonight, I have only played 249 hands -- I have had pocket jacks 5 times, kings once, aces once, and queens once. Ive also had AK suited and off suited, QA multiple times. I tend to play tight on pokerstars because even though I get these hands PF, I find my self in losing situation more often than not to garbage hands.

My question for the forum is, does anyone else have questions about pokerstars dealing system. It the flop turn and river seem to spit out winning hands for garbage PF hands and it also seems to spit out a high number of top ranking PF hands that result in getting sucked out on more often than not. Does the poker math not seem off?

I also play on partypoker, 888, and GG poker, I find their dealing systems to be much more aligned with the mathematics to poker odds.

Let me know what yall think

Cheers

you are 100% right. Pokerstars since Covid hit has been awful. Aces hit almost every flop. Quads hit frequently and the worst hand preflop wins the all in almost always, and it's almost always on the river. People know this and play garbage hands. The garbage hands usually hit and it's pathetic. I hope and pray once poker rooms open that they lose a ton of players because the change since Covid has been huge. It's pretty obvious they have changed their programming for more action and it's turned their site into Bingo not Poker.

Play a 6 handed sit and go or a bounty tournament and tell me how many aces hit the boards out of 10 hands. I bet at least 7 of 10 hands you see an ace on the board.
