So stop commenting my posts in this thread what you already promised few days ago and accept the fact that there is a poker and there is a pokerstars poker.

To be honest your opinion on Stars doesn't matter to me. Hell you may even be right, I very much doubt it but it is possible.
What does aggravate me is your ridiculous habit of automatically saying that people who disagree with your opinion must be in the employ of the poker sites. It just shows a lack of maturity and an inability to have your position challenged. Basically you only want to interact with people that will agree with you.

Racism as well, just wow.
Careful with that. I can take the personal insults and slander, I have broad shoulders and to be honest I'm taking this as a joke, just a bit of fun but once you start with racist comments your crossing the line.
but he was talking about pokerstars so you just admitted working for them

I'm going to come clean, since I'm not that active on here any more and rarely play poker now days.
I *AM* an employee of Poker Stars. I had denied it every time somebody has called me on it. But it's true, I have had a deal with Poker Stars for extra rakeback each month, to shill the site on various poker forums. Since I no longer play there. I can tell you all the truth now.

I don't know if he's 'crossed' any lines,.... I figure he's walking ON the line,....or maybe rather a tight-rope wire...
Off to the right,...he's condemning my family as being Nazis, which couldn't be ANY further from the truth....and off to the left,...he's dumping on Jews...
To me,...he's just a grumpy ol' dude,...for whom I have plenty of forgiveness. After all,...how old is he....
Hey mascona,....while I'm here..... YEP...
I've included a BONUS joke today only.... 2 for the price of one...

When FTP reopened i started playing there and it was a good experience, but i get the same weird hands here and there. Now, maybe i am paranoid because it the same company now or there is a really something wrong with their software. One of the things i noticed is that if you have JJ or QQ, there will almost always be a king or an ace on the flop. I don't know, maybe i am bad player, but i played small stakes in casinos and it is totally different thing when it comes to flop.

So I'm sitting at a table the other day where one guy is just cleaning right up. He has a HUGE stack, raises huge preflop every time....then continues to bet big throughout every hand...
I say something about us all getting clobbered by this guy, and folks should stand up to him because he doesn't have the knutzzzzz EVERY hand....
Some other guy comments:
"Nothing you can do,....he's the 'designated' winner..."
Huh....???? 'Designated'.... Give me a break. PokerStars DOES NOT set the games up so one guy will win! Do folks actually believe this stuff...???

hahahahah a designated winner- have to admit that throughout my short poker career i have seen a few of these...really frightening thing to be on one table with those dudes, raise every hand, win every hand...doesn't matter what he holds, if he needs two outs- guess what...he gets them...doesn't matter if there is only one card left to be dealt...scary i'm telling u

Well there's a useful myth for you... The thing is, that not only the small stacks believe in it, but the big stack as well. This means he will raise far too big with a huge range, and everybody folds in fear.
This is an excellent opportunity to double up. Call/limp when you have a monster, and 3-bet light with good hands (bullies seem to respect 3-bets more than shoves, and will fold often, and see a call as weakness to be exploited in a later street).
