    Before questioning your ability perhaps consider: Can these cards be truly described as random?

    you will get more people saying the rng is dodgy for the simple fact that there are a hell of a lot more long term losers in poker than long term winners. some losers accept it and do all they can to improve there game, others choose to take the easy option and blame the rng.

    Some also (winners and losers) are unable to recognise the bleed’ in obvious.

    my answer to THEROCK573  is as follows... my account on sky has always been in the black, I don't win massively but I do win... you won't see me playing cash games on sky because I don't trust it one inch just bh's purely because I enjoy them... its my opinion, i'm entitled to it.. your entitled to yours

    Im going out of tournaments all the time like this... Its catch 22 as you obvs want him to call you with 10 9 its just pretty sick how many times they hit vs you!

    Im pretty open minded when it comes to is it rigged or not? When people say 'how would it benefit Sky' Well in cash bigger pots = bigger rake and with tournaments/sit & go's the quicker one is finished the quicker you join a new one!

    Who know tho?? Its one of them...

    Cash - If the AA holds v T9 they get exactly the same rake as if the T9 wins. The pot size is the same regardless of who wins.

    MTTs - If the AA holds v T9, it wouldn't speed it up anymore than if the T9 won.... unless of course the AA is the shorter stack but then comes the whole arguement 'the short stack always wins' which doesn't work otherwise every MTT would be going from now until the end of time cos the big stack would never win.
  • edited August 2013
    Cash - Premium hands like AA create bigger pots imo = bigger rake

    MTTs - Same thing with these, AA and premium hands create more chips going in

    Im not for one minute saying this is what happens its just a theory, i see both sides of the fixed/not fixed argument

    Sky Betting and Gaming's RNG is audited by the 3rd party company Technical Systems Testing (TST), who are global experts in the analysis of RNG's used for online gaming purposes. TST are approved by our regulator, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, to conduct compliance testing.

    For more information on TST and their credentials please click here:

    TST conducted an audit of Sky Betting and Gaming in September 2009. Their results confirmed that our RNG is completely fair, random and unpredictable, within the degrees of freedom used for statistical analysis
     there you go its been tested recently (4years ago lol)

    I agree - its very reassuring.
    Prior to this information I was a little suspect at the AAAKK - QQQQ10 - 99988 - AKQJ10 - ETC not to mention the endless pairs on the flop/and of course the winning river card….. But now, I am confident its all completely random.
