    Miracle river akin to the virgin Mary getting miraculously pregnant?

    Or was that 6 less of a miracle?

    A miracle is usually defined as something with AT LEAST 1 in a million chance of happening. This is like a 1 in 11. Not a miracle in my books.

    When the money went in on the turn he had 3 outs with 1 card to come so lets say 2% per out, (6%)

    So about 1 in 17 chance, or about as close to a miricle as you get in poker.


    Guy going crazy with 45 all the way and hits a 1 in 17 chance (6%) gut shot. 


    It's not poker, it's sky poker, this site rolls out miricle 2 & 3 outers on the river like no other site

    "It's not poker, it's sky poker, this site rolls out miricle 2 & 3 outers on the river like no other site"

    so it wasnt a 1-in-17 in that case.

    if the site delivers more 2 + 3 outers then you should exploit that by calling more with gutshots and backdoor flush draws. seems like a money spinner to me if you are confident the RNG is rigged.

    let us know how you get on.

    Do you have some credible evidence to prove that, Mr Salazar?

    1. it's not a mirical then is it. as 50/50's happen half the time.

    2. you should keep this secret to yourself and simply shovel money in whenever you have a gutshot on the river, as it's 50/50 right? easy game.

    let us know how you get on.

    same goes to anyone thinking the bigstack always wins.

    1 fold AA if you are a shortstack

    2 call with any two if you are a bigstack.

    easy exploit and easy money, right?

    have the courage of your convictions.

    Only a few years experience playing on here. It's a shame really as i like the site, I like that it's in the UK and in pounds and I like the quick and easy banking system. The software used to be poor but now even that's improved. My only gripe about this site is the amount of 2 and 3 outers it seems to put out.

    Anyway, i've said my piece and arguing about it on here is not going to make any difference to a hand that ended yesterday, I either have to put up with it or look into other sites and looking into other sites is what I'm doing as a type this.

    Be careful. You don't want to choose a site that is rigged so this (the above) doesn't happen.

    why would you leave a site where you have spotted an exploitable flaw in the shuffling alogrythm?

    just call with 2 outers and print money.

    this should be the easiest site in the world for you to make money on.

    i think that, deep down, you simply dont believe what you are saying. if you did you would be happy to clean up on the site:  all games, all formats, all stakes.

    No, it's a 1 in 11. I calculated it rather than make a wild guess. Opponent had the four sixes as outs, not just 3. We know 7 of the cards that means there is 45 cards left, of which 4 of them are sixes. 4/45*100 = 8.9%. Rounded up to 9% and that's roughly a 1 in 11 chance. 

    The closest thing to a miracle in poker in a single hand is when you get it in on the flop with the opponent needing perfect runner runner. (1/45*1/44)X100 = 0.05%. 9% is far from a miracle.

    I played a fairly big live torney a while back
    I had 10's and on a 10 6 6 flop I was quite pleased when we got the chips in the middle. 
    He had 5's and I was out the door after the river.
    I know this is nothing next to your beat Salz but that one did sting a little.

    Suggest you do not play live. That's obv rigged too.

    I love how people fail to recognise that online poker is much quicker than live poker and henceforth more "bad beats" or 1 in 17 chances come in than you would expect to see in live poker play during a "session". 

    All you can do is acknowledge you got the money in good, you lost and that if that hand was replayed 10 times over you would win 9/10, and then move on.

    Wow, I've seen some turnips on here but this is dynamite. You are actively seeking a new poker site because someone effectively jammed their stack with 4 outs and got there on the river?

    You do realise to look for a new site after ^ is the ultimate contradiction in poker? Literally running away from value. Wpwp. 

    No of course you don't realise, you're a turnip.

    Good luck elsewhere, something tells me you need it.

    Hi Salazar

    I see that you have been on Sky for nearly 5 years. If that is the worst bad beat you have had in that time then you have run very, very well. Good luck in your search for a site where bad beats never happen. I think you will have a long, long search.
