Maybe you could start by saing WHICH site you are talking about? you´re asking other to name sites, but remain very "mysterious" about the one you´re talking about...

I don't believe any site has more bad beats or action hands than any other. I think when people have a bad experience of one site, it can be put down to variance. You can't expect to get each hand the same number of times on each site. If you play each for just a month you're bound to be more lucky on one site than another.
Having said that, I think I have been the least lucky on party poker. I heard a theory in this forum that kind of explains why this could be. Party offers casino software as well as poker and therefore attracts more gamblers. Party poker seems to have more donks and gamblers, which may result in more swingy results. It's just a theory.

Im with awood88, all the same. You, as said above, might find some sites have bigger swings than outhers, but its mailny due to the casino, then there is PKR, wich does now have a casino, but most players are there just for fun and tend to be bad players. For me id say PKR, even tho I did walk away with good profit, I never knew what to expect when I sat down, but now the french are gone so it might be diffrent now...also might go back when they lunch that new software..so not so horrid to scare me away

I agree, I think it differs with different people, I dont think there is one site which does more badbeats in general for everybody

Umm I`ve played at pokerstars full tilt partypoker and I`ve spoted that the weakest players are on partypoker. Playing there is the most profitable for me ( I play HU SNG`s and 10handed SNG`s) ... Of course bad beats happen, and u can do nothing about it... Though talking about MTT`s the best one for me is full tilt, because there I`ve made the most cash in MTT`s, but lost a bunch at sng`s. Pokerstars is neutral for me... No big cashes, but no losses too, though my winnings graph is going up

FYI pkr has had the casino from the beginning, and theyve recently added betting site also. And french are still at tables, but thats pretty ok, while playing cash. In tourneys its another headache with them lol.
What worries me is that playing cash its slow, but when they upgrade now in present future, there will be 8 tables, so this problem will also be solved.

it is the same where ever you play. if you are in a bad time you wont hit the cards. but i agree with you about pokerstars, it is really hard to win there, always beaten on river and it doesnt matter what cards the opponent have.
