    There is not much for anyone to understand, I was hoping for some kind of sage advice like as played  I was only going to get called by aces (at worse queens or AK which isn't very many combinations) after going all for a full stack with kings in a 2p/4p micro game.

    Haha

    So nice to see that the guy has come to the conclusion that the site is rigged based on one hand!  

    My advise to you Sir - watch some you tube on EPT / Any main event and you will see how unfair poker can be!!

    PS - would you of posted the hand if you KKK won and beat the AA??

    I don't think I'd ever recover from having a flopped FH beaten on the river.

    the best hand won like it should do. AA is better than KK.

    clwons like yourself usually would be posting hands where it was F-A Q Q T-K and R-K

    go back and watch them pigs fly.

    +1 k8 i think the regular posters need to show some respect to others we arent all amazing at poker and no all the stats posting sarcastic comments doesnt help so i would like to say just show a little more respect for people who post things.

    People are allowed to moan but when someone says something completely stupud/absurd in real life we will often make 'light fun' of them. So why should it be any different on a forum? If someone posts here and is genuinely confused and thinks they always lose I will explain variance etc to them but when someone just opens with "who says online poker isn't rigged?" and posts a hand where they get outdrawn then they should expect some sarcastic responses.

    Although there's a difference between a sarcastic response and just an insult (craig calling him a clown) - which there is really no need for.

    Its easy for people to resort to abuse sat behind their username from the safety of their computer. You see it all the time in the chat box. Best just ignored.

    The thing is there is a difference between sarcism (which I still don't agree with as it will stop people posting in future for advice ect) and downright belittling people! Im sure you would of never called him a clown face to face you small man! I have been known for a rant in the chatbox when I first started out, purely through tilt but I have ALWAYS apolagised as its wrong!

    Yeah.

    In a recent episode of Cronicnation Street Liz called Peter "a jellyfish". Now that's serious, much more so than 'clown'!

    Firstly, you got the wrong man :)
    It wasn't Ivan who called him a clown. It was Craig and it was clearly not good. Craig's been on the receiving end of it before and I went after the guy who was insulting him. It's a shame Craig let himself down with this one.
    You may be referring to me? When you say we shouldn't be sarcastic. You might well be right but in all fairness it gets a little boring when people come on here and after losing one hand, claim the site is fixed. The original poster wasn't seeking advice on how to play, he was making a statement that simply isn't true.

    People can either come looking for genuine help, or make ridiculous sweeping generalisations that don't have an ounce of truth.

    The former will be met with helpful responses, the latter will be not.

    As a past ranter I have to say that the sarcastic comments was the first step to me taking a long hard look at myself and realise what I was doing was childish and made not one iota difference to my game!

    If people like this OP start a discussion just slatting the operating system then surely a funny sarcastic response is the just response?  I agree - abuse is very different and if nothing polite to say then say nothing - but some posts (I wrote a fair few myself) are just trying to put a nrgative stigma on Sky - so if regular members want to stick up for them I say fair play if done in the correct way.

    Igy, have you ever, you know, actually played a game on Sky poker before? As in, sit down at a table with tournament or cash chips and been dealt into a few hands?

    Curiosity.

    I'm not sure what the point of a BBV forum is if people who post threads just get called idiots (clowns). Also if cash Hold'em was all about who has the best preflop hand then there wouldn't be much point in the game.
