A lot of folk say the standard of play is often tough on 'stars but I like the site, the software and the availability of games. Rarely play anywhere else (also having a Mac kinda limits my choices)

OMG...Pokerstars is going to do your head in, your going to find suckout after suckout, so amazing you will think the site is rigged, it isn't of course, it is just amazing dammed awful variance that even God decided to fcuk it off and play live games against the devil as he cheats less.

You going to start thinking the rng is flawed, it isnt, its just so randomly random that even randomness is less random there.

You will start observing and recognising each player as a freakin' retard who you play against, they are, but never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

To win at pokerstars you are going to have to play alot of games, i mean alot, and if you want to make any money at it forget it there, it is impossible.

The beats there are bad, bad, bad, put your money into another online casino and not ft either.

I'd rather be lucky than good there as skill will get you absolutely, irrefutably, pathalogically, fundamentally, psychoanalytically ...nowhere.

You could have a charmed life, play with a rabbits foot up your ass, find a lucky penny every day, you could have won the lottery 8 times in a row, but to build a roll at pokerstars is near on impossible.

The dudes on pokerstars are based on the isle of white and dont give a sh-it.

In 1 year tell me how you get on, if you've not been admitted by then.

Good luck.

If its that bad, then isnt the optimum strategy to dump every single premium hand you get and play every "bad" one.

BE THE SUCKOUT.

Easy. imo.

It makes me laugh when people talk about suckouts and so on at 'Stars. I don't know why people moan about the place - perhaps its because its the biggest

You ever played on stars? I guess not, ever experienced extreme variance as stars readily 'gifts' out day in day out, i guess not... then be my guest sign up to stars and deposit £500 and see if you can double it within a year.

You have got about as much chance of me meeting you in a Thai bar dressed as a lady and blowing you off and you not realising I am a bloke. And by the way that is nooooo chance.

You could just play Razz on stars instead.

The cash games are so uber soft its insane. I swear most people think they are playing 7 card stud!!

Anyway after that comment Mr Lucas i sense a challenge coming on!!!

I think I could make £500 no sweat just playing $5 STTs......I just dont fancy being blown off by a lady boy as a reward

Its pretty much the only site I play on, and i never see the bizarre card behaviour that you refer to...no more than any other site or live anyway.
