Fun with Pokerstars support

Ok so heres the background on this situation that has risen. I have been having the worst run of bad beats in the past 3 days ive ever had AND i just got my chat revoked for 6 months for calling Lee Jones...the guy who runs pokerstars poker room...a cock sucker. So pokerstars support is really quick to respond and they really take their jobs waaaaaaaay too seriously for my taste. So i got pissed off about these bad beats and emailed support telling them that they are the reason my chat got revoked for putting bad beats on me and causing me to swear at the table and that i was going to proceed to email them every bad beat that i come across until my chat gets turned back on. For those of you who dont know they will not turn my chat back on til 6 months on the dot no if's and's or but's about it. So this makes for a very interesting game now and it gives me a smile to turn to. So heres how the game has went so far.

And finally after sending in 8 more bad beat hand histories from 4 toiurnies that i was playing and yes these 8 bad beats happened in less than an hour. They finally reply with this.

Hello Kyle

And again this situation happens all the time during live and online games. It's poker, no hand is 100% going to win, especially preflop, sometimes the underdog wins. To be a great Poker Play you really need to learn to handle bad beats like the pro's do.

There is also no need to email us every time you lose a hand. If your serious about this game you will lose as the favorite on many occassions, sometimes you may go on huge losing streaks and other times you will be the one sucking out and winning pots as the underdog.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

John

So we'll have to see with what they come up with tomorrow...sooner or later theyll get sick of me and stop replying or turn my chat back on or something.
