    Ashley,

    At least your not claiming sky is rigged (or are you?)

    Have you thought about this...

    How often when you get lucky on the river do you sit there and think about it/ have it playing on your mind for the next minutes/hours/days? Pretty much never I'd guess.

    How often when you get unlucky on the river do you sit and think about it/ have it playing on your mind for the next minutes/ hours/days? Probably quite alot?


    You remember the bad beats you recieve more than the ones you give, and it can feel like you are unlucky, or make you feel like the site is rigged etc.

    It may be that you are in a bad run at the moment, but it all evens out eventually.

    I feel like I run bad quite alot, but people tell me I'm a luckbox. pretty sure its neither though.

    Think about the amout of hands you are playing. 
    U will encounter more beats like this online.  Compared too live play.

    How many times have u came from behind too win a hand.

    why is the same names are at the deep stages or FTs at mtt.swith 300+ runners

    does sky favour these players.. or are they very good at online play.

    although do I hear other sites will never drop a river card if u are ahead at the time.

    Did you here the one about the Flopped quads getting outdrawn to runner runner quads in the UKPC LIVE event at nottingham? Geeze.....and they say online poker is flawed lol.

    I woulda been crying in my chicken goulash (or curry)....whatever it is they have at these live events.

    I also saw AA v KK v 1010 (tens held) go figure :)


    We have to accept many things in poker (Live or Online) and one of the most important things to remember is.........If it can happen......it will.

    I was on the eventuall winners table early on in the UKPC.
    He got most of his chips in on a 56A 10 board with 1010 against older guys AA.
    River 10.
    Live poker is fixed.

    Your playing on a software and just like any software there is a certain amount of things that go on that u might think gees thats rigged,if u play a fruit machine, roulette in the bookies u know u are playing against the odds and imo its the same in poker because we call for the odds if u get lucky its down to the software not your play,poker gods smiled on u another day it would they wont,and yes of course its rigged but thats the whole idea,its there to create action but its not rigged in anyones favour.

    Poor old Chillie. I think I know what he's trying to say, it's kind of what I think when I read these threads. Anytime I type it though it never really reads right. Basically it's the game of Poker itself that is designed to create action and excitement, the sites just a platform for us to play.

    Totally agree....absolute tosh.
    If it's rigged for action how comes most of the moans on here are on the lines of"I shoved 40bbs and he called with 64 off and rivered me! Boo hoo?"

    It seems half the people think its fixed against them and the others think its a truly random game.
    Personally i think you are all wrong. There is no way anyone would run a site that is fixed to benefit certain players and its ridiculous to say otherwise,
    However analayse your hands and see how many times you get quads, Full Houses Straights and Flushes and you can see that there is clearly an intention to make the game more exciting than random real life poker. You still have the same chance as all the other players but its not truly random and i dont believe the site has ever claimed that their RNG is exactly the same as a random draw.

    I have played on here for two years, and probably had five sets of quads in that time.

    Never understood the whole "rigged" argument. However, for the sake of argument, let's say it is.

    If you have discovered that the system is rigged, why not use it to your advantage?

    If the original post was true: "WHENEVER YOU GET A HAND AND THE UNDERDOG BETS BIG IT WILL ALL BUT MOST TIMES DELIVER HIS CARD ON THE RIVER"

    Then you should be betting big on the river whenever you think you're behind, and you will hit your card on the river "ALL BUT MOST TIMES" - problem solved. Maybe try doing this for a little while and see how it works out for you - let us know how you get on! :-)
