    Why pick on pokerstars - all sites are rigged.
    those that think otherwise are naive or employed by the site to counter your view.

    Pokerstars certainly isnt rigged. I play most of my volume on there but i do think you get some serious outdraws on Sky Poker  than on any other site. You need to play a lot of volume for these things to work out accuratly and although i dont play much on ere, i think the being outdrawn shouldnt matter as the majority of players are fish/donk/bingo players

    What I never get is this....

    Let's assume Sky have rigged it for some reason that AA v KK only wins 60% of the time rather than about 80% (as an example). Then we're all in the same boat anyway, we'll lose AA v KK more than we should, but we'll win KK v AA more than we should too.

    Unless you you Sky have randomly hand picked certain players to win which is just silly.

    So basically, even if the odds were off slightly (Which I personally think is nonsense), we're all subject to the same odds, so ultimately  just like in any form of poker, you take away all the coolers, all the bad beats blah blah cos we'll all get the same amount over time and you're left with the winning players being the ones that make the best decisions.

    I've run terribly there lately, including an ongoing 18 month downswing in MTTs, but I don't think it's rigged.

    its just sheer volume on pokerstars....and there's always callers with bad hands that fill...so many callers sometimes that all two card hands become of equal strength....I play on it a lot under another user name...and usually find that patience offers the best rewards....and I have had some more than decent wins and place...sometimes 3 or four times in a week.....but though I grumble and moan about the volume of bad beats on sky.....it's still and will remain my preferred site....pokerstars tournaments last far too long
