Open shoving 22 UTG? Weird
Snapping by AA? Standard

Then 22 winning with a straight?

I could understand if the dude was tilted or losing but he wasnt, was full stacked and hadnt lost any hands while sat at my table. The open shove makes me very suspcious indeed.

Thoughts? Cant just be another standard day on Stars surely?

You know I didn't believe it was rigged until I saw this post. I am now totally convinced it is and am going to withdraw all my money.

wld think that with your laggyish game it should be nearer 3 to force nitty players off the small pots?  What are ur AF figures down the streets?

From HEM
Flop Agg - 35.9
Turn Agg - 29.1
River Agg - 32.7

I probably have leaks galore, wouldn't know how to go about plugging them tbh.

I once misclicked with 10, 2 and hit a full house. All in against A's and J's

you prob would benefit from betting the flop a lot more and the turn a bit more.  It looks like you are only betting when you have a hand (assuming that these stats indicate you are only making aggresive actions ~1/3 of the time)

[SuuPRlim]

PLAY LESS HANDS.

grrr
lol

I'm not sure about betting when I've only got a hand but I guess the stats don't lie, I always have a v.high CBet % when I raise so I doubt my aggression factor is low because of lack of betting flop.

And I know dude, but it's hard to get VPIP/PFR down when you've played 9000 hands almost at that level, it's not going to instantly drop, last 4 sessions have been betterish though, 28/17, 30/20, 21/12 19/13. Working on it bud, went broke too which didnt help either.

The overwhelming evidence you've presented indicates that pokerstars is pretty rigged.
