Not sure if this is just a bad beat story or a warning to online players you can decide that one.
Just over 2 months ago I made a complaint about one of Primas poker managers. Ever since my luck on the site took a downturn which was so blatant I began taking records of hands the results are frightening.
Out of 1000 hands I lost 79% of time. Here is an example of my record with the premium hands.
AA x 14 - Won 6 Lost 8
High pair KK QQ JJ 10 10 x 67 Won 27 Lost 40
AK AQ AJ A10 x 112 Won 45 Lost 67
I have been playing poker for a good few years and I have one several tournements and reached many final tables so i'm not a bad player or a bad loser and until all this started happening I would have recommended Prima to anyone, but after this started happening I have really began to wonder how random or fair the site is.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

I'll give you the short version:
- 1000 hands is nothing.
- There is nothing odd about your experience. It isn't even unlikely.
- People experience stuff like this at all sites.
- Running bad is part of poker.
- I run worse than you over my last 3000 hands.
- 3000 hands is nothing either.
- Discussions about rigged poker sites is not very popular on most poker forums. Often it is seen more as a token of the accusator's lack of experience with poker swings.
I could also give you a lengthy psychological theory explaining how the biological components of your brain will experience standard deviations in statistics as remarkable thought they are not, but I won't, because you would probably find it boring.

Tame, I would be really interested in hearing this. Honestly.

How come you didn't quit as soon as your AA lost once??? AA NEVERS LOSES! IT IS STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!
