Big Stack Power (tourney)

BAD BEAT/GOOD BEAT

I'm getting more and more certain that there's something about being the big stack that allows you to win unfairly on PokerStars. I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like I'm always noticing that as long as you have more chips, you'll win the hand.

This first example is when I decided to call the all-in re-raise from a smaller stack. It was close to 3-to-2 pre-flop and I ended-up being the favorite on the flop.



The next example is when I was on the other side of the bad beat. What makes this beat worse is that it was a gutshot straight and my opponent was just a 16% underdog (with just seven outs) while in the previous hand, I was a 33% dog.
