pokerstars is a absolute joke

[lollipop]

There are definately bad beats at PokerStars - I attribute mainly to inexperienced players who call/check/raise with ANY two cards, no matter where they are sitting in the hand. The pre-flop all-ins are ridculous. I know AA, KK, QQ are all great starting hands, but with a huge pre-flop bet, someone is gonna call just to be a 'donkey'. I've seen too many hands to count that were awful, and I was thankful not to be in the hand. There is a lot of pushing/shoving at the tables at PokerStars, but I have learned to watch for these type players when they try to take that game to the real world. They are really easy to pick off at a cash game -- so I use PokerStars as a place to practice my 'donkey spotting skills' - more than a place to 'make money.
