Why would they do that?
This is why: there are 80,000,000,000000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,,000,000,000,000 possible shuffles from a 'real' deck of cards and sky software cannot get anywhere near that with their RNG product. That means that 'all expected probability is 'skewed' and the best they can claim is that it is 'random', whatever that is supposed to mean?
Sky poker forum a friendly community? Bunch of moronic sycophants pi55ing up each others backs and telling each other its raining. Metaphorically speaking of course!
100 posts in BB&V would surely be a record?
Anyway here's my tuppence worth. I for one have been through some tough variance in the last few weeks and have, as a result, been quite 'active' in the chat box! Never abusing other players but certainly bemoaning my luck. How many of you for example can boast of going out of the main event with QUADS..... TWICE! The last one being all in pre with KK called by AQ and the board runs out AAAxx! And yes I got fed up with being hit by 2 and 3 outers and runner runner outdraws.
Remember if you get your chips in good EVERY time , you are going to get some bad beats.
Anyway yesterday seemed to be going the same way and I went out of 3 tourneys in quick succession to bad beats. I nearly turned off the computer but put £3 into one of the high roller all in sats and WON it! I was actually sorely tempted to deregister and cash the £110 as I was running soo bad. However I decided to play it and after limping along with a small stack for most of the tourney then managed to cash. Not only that but then final tabled ending up 6th for a profit of about £1,200. I didn't run brilliantly but did win one hand with A 10 v A K and had overpairs all in pre 4 times in the money which ALL held! I eventually went out to Solack (who went on to win it, congratulations, very, very well played) who rivered his ace BUT had gone in ahead with A4 against my KJ so it wasnt even a bad beat.
Sorry it's a long post I know but the moral is you have to take the bad spells in order to appreciate the good times.

Tonight get KK in BB with blinds 50/100. Dealer has roughly 2000 chips. I have around 1850. Dealer raises to 200. I reraise to 500. He calls. Flop comes down 3,5,7 (rainbow). He checks. I go all in (actually putting him on AA at this stage but (commited) and he calls. 4,4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Turn? I could even stomach a 4!!!! But no a 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how much money would you lose at poker if you played like that over a period of time? and can you think of the last time you played live and anybody played like that?!!!
my dad told me its because im a new player and these sites always seem to give you a good win to get you hooked, I don't know how true that is.
I also played the 10k bh tourney and was really looking forward to it, I got k 10 suited and flopped a 10 only to be beat by a flush on river then the next hand I get was ak clubs, I went all in on the button and someone called me with pocket queens and hit there quads, and that's another thing ive noticed on here, just how many players hit quads, just so unreal its beyond belief..i think someone ought to test the rng on this site properly because it just isn't poker, its just a piece of software to thieve off players and give a selective few the priority on this site. I know this may sound to you that im whining but I really do have a reason to.
I see from sharkscope you've played 18 games since your first game on Jan 2nd 2014 but I can't see your winnings of £600, did you tear up the cash tables in the last 6 days to get your roll to £600?
But I totally agree with Harry shut the place down....just in case!
ps welcome to the site... and I suppose goodbye as well seeing as shutdown is imminent!
and regarding sharkscope, the stats on those sites cannot be right because I too cannot see where I won 649 from a 30 pound deposit unless the site is behind.
I used to think online poker was an easy way to replicate the buzz I and friends used to get before the advent of home computers 20+ years ago but it didn't and has become a constant source of irritation and perplexing nonsense with regard to outcomes, variance and probability. Some sites have been linked to extortion and fraud, others money laundering and collusion and few if any can claim to be free of issues that reduce the game to a point of disrepute that requires constant damage limitation. Some sites, particularly the biggest, actually invest in their product without gimmicks 'first' to try and get the poker delivered as accurately as possible but not SKY. SKY is bothered about the take, the appearance and then somewhere down the line worries about whether anyone will actually debunk the myth that the RNG is completely random. ITS ABOUT AS RANDOM AS THE SUN RISING TOMORROW IN THE EAST but how will that make a difference to the gamblers, the movers and the shakers?
Well one day it might because those that are either smug or stupid that constantly back up a systematically failing product wont have the luxury of easy pickings and those that provide it might get their fingers burnt in the not too distant future. Poker has always been a hotbed for corrupt activity and their is nothing more corrupt in gaming than online gambling where sharks lay in wait for the novice, the gambler or the feckless. Thats the way it is and online just provides a slack product to promote that and SKY are only too happy to profit from any enterprise no matter how crooked. You only have to look at the ongoing trials of SKY journalists and the Murdochs evidence into out poltical enquiries to understand the depths of the barrel of s hit they lke to swim in.
Nothing lasts forever and the resident experts and sharks (not forgotten the stupid) will eventually run out of sarcastic abuse and move or be moved on! Its the law of probability- too many quads just aren't sustainable.
