(The first one was a bad beat I'm venting about)

Not really a tournament play question is it? This looks like it belongs in the bad beats forum.As for the first hand, hitting the flush draw really wasn't that bad a beat. He is basically 1:1 with AA on the flop, 3:1 dog on the turn, and considering how much he had stuffed into the pot on the flop versus how much he had left he was basically 100% pot committed. In fact if he wanted to call that bet he should've just all-inned.Also I think claims that sites "favor" certain kinds of stacks or players is outrageous from a technical perspective. You can't favor one short stack without favoring them all- can you imagine what designing an algorithm to do that would be like, and the implications it would have on play?

Yes, pokerstars favours the short stack.
