Time to go out on a limb. Foremost, I am not one to complain because I didn't win. Bad luck and bad beats occasionally happen to everyone that plays poker.

After playing tournaments the last 2 days I am concerned that all is not right at Pokerstars. I realize that it is the biggest and arguably the most reputable online poker room. But time after time hands end with near impossible odds.

For instance, in 2 different NLH tournaments today a player had the 4th card of a quad. Both times there were a total of 3 people playing the hand. The first time I had pocket jacks and get called all in by 3,8 offsuit. Quad 3's win the hand. The second time I had pocket aces and get called all in by 7,10 suited. Quad 7's win the hand. The examples go on and on (including several irregular bad beats during a HORSE tourney yesterday).

I wish I had the statistical knowledge and software to sceintifically analyze my play but I do not. After due consideration I have decided not to deposit any more at Pokerstars based on my experience the last 6 months.
