Noticed a lot of weird stuff going on with Russian and eastern European players on stars ....I'm not one to throw the rigged card about easily but I've noticed some strange things happening . Was wondering if its just me or have other players noticed it

I think it's a confluence of factors.First, good players don't play the type of hands that require unlikely things to happen for the hand to win. Second, at the moment a lot of the Russian and East European players are new to poker and by definition those players are not very good. Put those together and it is easy to get the impression that The Russian and East European players are getting a lot of lucky draws to bet win hands.

Hmm well put...but still I don't think 2 weeks of getting beat with the best hand crucial stages is normal and especially when they seem to be hitting one or two outers almost every time. Its just a bit too strange what's happened to me I can't believe its down to luck

I thought 888 was bad but pokerstars makes 888 look like the Vatican.
------------ Noticed when I'm getting to crucial stages in a tournament I'm being bummed with some of the worst cards ever and runner runner miracle to get beat....I'll give h an example I was deep in a tourney few days ago and I got dealt aces .....I raises over 10 times bb just to make sure the donks get out the way had one Russian caller flop comes A 4 8 (rainbow) I bets and guy shoves and yes got about same chops as me ...turn 4 river 4 ....I was like wtf

Bah don't even bother. Its poker. Only thiing you want to have is big enough bankroll - around 50 BI's at any given time for a limit. Also, if youre running bad, it wouldn't hurt to drop down a bit.
MTTs are a special poker animal. Variance there is super growse and there's not much anyone can do. I'd recommend to try and play smaller fields, and also some MTT sngs so it passes by.
What limits were you reffering to? (just don't say freerolls or < $3 MTTs)
Also, don't worry about Russians or any other weak players. They're either drunk, gambling for fun or/and have no clue about the game whatsoever.

Posted by djpremier: why would they make all the russians/eastern european players win the tournaments?? how would that make any more for them?
Only explenation for that would be if its rigged and the Russian players are not real just bots...winning bots playing for pokerstars raking in all the
People please read this correct...i said IF its rigged...not saying it is..
I think... he had A4, you set and 98.2%the pot yours, you got really unlucky, he had more chips and position though. To win that pot (at that time, blah blah) could of all in-ed early or check and huge raised, not all AA's win, sucks, lol, poker tho.
Good luck bro.
p.s. Zero calling, minimum playing until FT, catch some cards, do nothing foolish.

I just think the Russian players are the super users and they use the fact that they are the most stupid players on the planet to cover up why they put so many bad beats on good players. Look I remember when phill hellmuth was on YouTube claiming these sites make millions on pounds so why would they cheat or rig the site he was laughing at ppl for saying any site would rig or cheat ...few weeks later the ultimate bet site he was sponsored by was found out to be cheating every fker on there .....where's theres money and gambling there's greed and if there's a way of cheating players out of 100s of millions of dollars it will be done, if your stupid enough to think anything different then keep wasting your time and money on pokerstars. Its not like a give a rats ass about you or your money
------------ He had king 4 not ace 4 ....I don't give to shits if u believe me or not like I said keep playing on there no skin of my nose ..... good luck matey

I have had real bad beats live and online, poker! Crucial is when it hurts, it is the bits you remember, the lucky turn, when you were big stack on the table, and added 25% to your stack is forgotten, play good poker live or on reputable sites and in the long run you will win at one or both, we will see... we will all see.

Well said and I agree with you.... I still think there's something dodgy going on....only time will tell
------------ If I don't get my money in when I'm at worst 4-1 to win the hand then I shouldn't be playing ...but when I do I'm getting beat over 50% of the time.... so you tell me how that figures

I haven't been playing for the last 5 days, so i haven't noticed anything. And you're the first person i'm hearing talking about this. But if something wrong, you also don't say what it is... it's only with players from those countries you refered?
i might have to report you to pokerstars because that obviously isn't right 
you will need to let us know if you make it a full 7 day week with a profit every day then we will all know that you got a working cheat program LOL
