After playing in a lot of the PokerStar Facebook freerolls, and observing many hands, I have noticed that Bigger Stacks appear to put bad beats on the shorter stacks than vice versa. And the Bad Beats can be really bad like runner runner inside straight flush to beat the nut full house. Yes this is purely anecdotal. I have been on both sides of the beats, with the big stacks and the short stacks. ---

question for the crowd. i’ve got a ticket to the second round tomorrow that i doubt i will be able to use. can i trasfer or give it away to someone? and i don’t even know if this is allowed but i could also provide my log in stuff and someone could access it that way. ---

never fracking mind. mensa helped me figure it out. thanks. but with the amount of chips i have given him on thursday nights he probably felt guilty. although i kind of sincerely doubt it was much guilt. ---
