I'm going to say it. Pokerstars.

Pokerstars. Said it again. Absolutely ridiculous site. The site that first trained me on how unreal online poker is. For months I played in their big money game with 5000 players. And for months, heck years, I watched my table playing soooo slowly and dozens of other tables with players scooting off to big chip stacks.

I don't care if Chris Moneymaker landed a WSOP seat and won the big one playing here. It is soooo obviously not for real. If you decide to get in the big money game, do what I did. Don't play. Observe other tables. Watch the lightning speed, the world class secretary chit chat, call all in on a pair of kings and lose.

I did that tonight. Pocket kings lost twice to bad beats in the same game. Even after I folded K9 of hearts with a three heart flush that would have lost to Ace high heart flush. Playing, sane and rational poker I would have called and lost it. I didn't, so then the kings came up.

I went all in and lost, the next tourney also had me with a pair of kings. Total separation from the last tow tourneys two kings was less than ten hands. Yeah, right.

Had to go all in because I was just dumbfounded that again I've caught pocket kings, again. And didn't care if I lost. Go ahead and cheat me. Well, this time they didn't. And I went on to take first.

The problem is the Kings. Poker sites love giving kings. When you want to bad beat a good player with bogus hands, give'em kings. One Ace is all it takes to kill them.

The internet speak on online poker really disturbs me. Universally it defends that it's for real.
No frigging way. Why should they play for real rake in the normal casino chips when they can push the magic button and take all your money?
