Just a few hands I'll run by you.

I'm still in the tournament, I'll post more as I see them, but has anyone seen rediculous hands like these? (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.

Stop.....collaborate and listen....MaxSt's back with this brand new edition....stop talkin', bout conspiracy theory....talkin' like that shines upon you queerly. Will it ever stop, I don't know....log off the site, and you'll know.....to the extreme don't play poker like a beginner, take a few beats but in the end you'd be a winner.

i just jizzed

Wata gangsta.

oh snap max just ripped off some good shit! love it!

good one max.

op: this happens live too, lots of beats against me last night in home game. [aa<k9o, a9s<a7o allinpre], it just seems crazy because you play alot of hands online and the play is faster

I can't even deal with how lol this is...
