Hello David,
Thank you for your email. I sincerely appreciate your concerns.
As difficult as it is David, it's important to refrain from taking bad
beats and streaks personally. There is truly nothing in our software that
would neither make your account win nor lose. As you know, poker is a long-
term game in which your results are wholly dependant upon the decisions
that you make along the way. Unfortunately, you will also have to endure
streaks like what you are experiencing right as well.
Rest assured, our shuffle is completely random, favoring or disfavoring no
player over any other. The computerized methods we use to shuffle the deck
are more than sufficient to ensure complete randomization of the cards, and
complete unpredictability of the cards to come. You can see the description
of these methods at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/security.html
In addition, we track all hands dealt daily to see if there is any
statistically significant variance.
In fact, we gave the source code to two independent auditors who
reviewed our shuffle algorithm and found it sound and random. You may
read the analyses of these auditors at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/rng_audit.html
We have dealt over 18,000,000,000 hands, and have freely given out real
money hand histories any time somebody has requested them. Not once has
anybody found any indication that our shuffle is not 100% random, and many
who have undertaken such studies have posted their findings to the
Internet. You may find just two of them here:

If you have further questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact
us.
I sincerely hope it turns around for you soon. Best of luck in the games.
Regards,
Larry
