Pokerstars, too lucky?

[Alienware]

H people, i'm not a good poker player at all, just a novice who keeps himself busy with a Sit&Go between an in-play event and another on BF. I consider my level as "trying to get decent", nothing more. So far i've always played on BF Poker being spanked big time, honest. Well, a few hours ago i've opened an account on pokerstars and i've played 3 Sit&Go: one time 1st and two times 2nd. Too good to be real...i've to say that my opponents were quite pathetic so far but i've noticed an inusual high level of luck on my side...almost every flop was good news for me. It's a bit suspect, damn. I am wondering if there is something like a "new comer bias" or something like that. I'm just too paranoid or ...? A/W

Re: Pokerstars, too lucky? Just had a thought: When you have been playing at a site for ages maybe you become too comfortable and start playing , as it were, automatically. Bad habits will slip in and your standard of play may well deteriorate as you become more and more blase and start multi tabling to boot. Join a new site and it is all so different...your attention is re-doubled and, for the first few games at least, you will be playing your top notch best poker. There have often been threads alleging a bias towards new players...this doesn't make sense really. People will say it is to get you hooked on that particular site by letting you have a quick short term profit. But what then for the site's regular players? Surely they would abandon ship immediately when they realise new players are being deliberately dealt better hands? No! There's no fix going on here. It's just that you are playing with the utmost concentration each time you join a new site. Makes sense to me.
