I had the same gripe with pokerstars but honestly you just have to take the bad beats. I do hate the phrase "thats poker" but its true. Pokerstars seems to screw you over more often but in all honesty it just isnt. As juiceeQ says theres so much more poker going on online theres bound to be more suckouts and bad beats.

Yes, they are random events. And yes, it happens everywhere, even in live play. The fact that it seems to happen more in online poker is that there is a much higher olume of hands played per hour than you would see live. There is no grand Poker Stars conspiracy that they're out to get you for no good reason. But remember this: "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you."

Bad beats on Poker Stars are not just random events. You have moronic players who go all in with low pairs or on a face card and you get screwed by the river. Today I had an Ace high flush on the flop and runner runner 4s come up and I'm beat by someone with 9 4 off suit who gets a full house. Another one today was someone goes all in with king jack off suit and I have Ace king suited and this guy is a maniac better with nothing most of the time and I lose to a jack on the river. I watched some of the pros play on poker stars and seen them suckout on the river more than 50% of the time.
