    Trying to build your bankroll is impossible when you have the kind ridiclous outdraws such as: AA losing to 7's AK losing to AQ AJ losing to A2 10's losing to 6's K10 losing to 6's when someone calls on a flop of J10J it wipes a large part of the bankroll, losing that successive 50-50's is normal but this kind of farce is unreal and is against all odds and probablities, would love to see Skys 'Random' card Generator!! I would challenge anyone to ever build a bankroll when this happens as often as it does. Its not RANDOM

    5 conclusive hands that prove that the RNG isn't actually random.

    Close the site down. Can't believe I've wasted 2 years of my life on Sky Poker. You owe me 2 years, Sky....

    I started on the site with £20 about 4-5 years ago and didn't deposit again, and I've got a fair bit more than £20 now.

    Not going to comment on the chips leader always wins, cus well that is just a retarded statement, and wrong of course. Feel free to remember you bad beats only though.

    You also demonstrate a massive lack of understanding of MTT's if y ou think that controls the speed they end. You'll find tournaments will end in a fairly uniform time frame because of the blind levels. Has nothing to do with who wins what pot and when. So if you had a full 5000 palyer tournament and ran it 100 times the ending time would not be significantly different on them.

    The sites gain little in forcing a faster end time, and it is not needed when the blinds increase do that plenty fine enough.

    As for playing another site and being up there and down here. Err, well if you playing tournaments they are massively prone to variance due to the luck factor in them. To suggest a site is rigged against you is dumb as all heck. They gain nothing by forcing a playing to go broke by rigging the game against them. My guess is either your game got better or you just been luckier so far at the new site.

    Playing with 50 buy ins for a living is just totally rediclous. Typically when a player starts off playing full time they will have at least 18 months living expenses and at least 250 buy ins at a level where their hourly rate is the highest.

    Also anything under nl100£ than it will probably be a struggle to carve a living out of poker.

    Players from countries like Romania,Bulgaria,Ukraine etc etc will have a better chance at making a living due to the low cost of living, thats why many English Pros will head to countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Costa reca etc etc for long periods of time. Typically they will be in groups sharing the rent, bills etc.

    Anyone trying to make a living from the game here in the UK will always struggle, unless they're making 40k+ a year.
