RiverStars? You can't be serious Penguinfan.

I cancelled my account at Party just before they put in all the new software, blackjack, etc... Their customer service is fucking pitiful and I'm tired of dealing with Indians that can't speak english worth a damn. Sure they have the largest fish tank on the net, but Stars will surpass them soon enough. As somebody mentioned earlier, Stars is marketing their site way better than Party Poker. Stars has actual poker players endorsing their site on their commercials. The commercials for Party Poker are supposed to be funny, but I think they make Party look like a joke.

You know sports betting, I give you that. But believing "RiverStars" is the same as believing online poker is rigged, the cashout curse, "doom" switch, etc... You should know better than that.

See post #8 and #12:

What I believe doesn't matter, what I know is I have been sucked out on at Stars more often than the numbers can possibly justify and it doesn't happen to that degree elsewhere.

I am sure it's just me, Stars is just unlucky for me so I dont' play there anymore. I once busted out of 12 straight SNG's with the better hand when the cards were turned over. 12 IN A ROW

Rigged, probably not. Bad luck for me, absolutly.

ive been keeping notebooks on approx 99% of my tourney game since april this year.

ive had at least 3 stretches where ive lost 12-14 tourneys straight on pure bad beats post-flop.

2 of these on stars, last one just this last week.

thats poker. nothing to do with any site being less/more 'lucky', let alone 'rigged' in any way, or anything such. simply, due to the sheer number of hands being played at any given time on such a big online site as stars/party/etc, not to mention loose/dumb moves/calls by fish, statistically such strings of bad luck are absolutely possible, if not to be expected often.
