"sky always rewards bingo playing morons"
" When will sky realize that their regime of rewarding bad play,plus as if by magic,the donk always hitting that one and only card they need to beat you, will only result in people going elsewhere to play". " Bit like the T.V. programmes,plenty of other companys out there, who, by the way, reward their good customers,not donk money off them to give to some moronic, no talent bingo player" " Come to youre sences sky while you still have a couple of thousand regular players".

Not sure you should be quite so rude about your opponents, Mr Dexter.
It just appears that way to you - everyone knows that the cards are completely random.
Systems have been checked as recently as 2009.
believe me ive played on a lot of sites and sky i must say is one of the fairest due to fact everyone cant use programs and bots to help their play
I hope you take him up on his offer. You don't sound like you are enjoying your poker much, so it makes no sense to carry on as you are. Play better, make your poker £ go further, & you'll realise what a wonderful game poker can be. Wonderful but frustrating, perplexing, fair, unfair, trying, exasparating, rewarding, bemusing & amusing, all at once. Not many games test our character in the way poker does.
Thanks DrRunGood
Nice sample size and examples btw, completely plausible.
I don't think you would, I know you better than that.
When we see "I lost 9 times out of 10" I generally take it with a pinch of salt. What most people mean is "it seems like I lose 9 out of 10". Selective memory does that to us.
But variance is a mischievious little blighter, especially when in one of her foul moods.
Losing 9 out of 10 usually includes quite a few flips. 6? 7? Then we may lose to underpairs 1 or 2 times in 10. Nothing remarkable there.
Now let's look at it a different way.
I play a lot of PLO8 DYM's. This is the lowest variance format available. No game has less variance.
Let's assume I do not have an edge, but I'm no worse than most other players at this format.
What are the chances of me losing 9 of these out of 10?
Pretty unlikely, I'd say.
But my stats tell me I have lost 9 in a row several times.
In fact, my biggest losing streak is 13 (THIRTEEN) games.
Effectively, given the assumed relative ability as above, that's 13 flips in a row.
Variance is quite a thing.
I feel like i have more 'weird' hands on sky than other sites and sometimes i wonder if it has some algorithm to generate 'entertaining' hands although it would have to be a pretty impressive algorithm to factor in the stuff some people call and raise with
i'm not suggesting i think sky isn't legit and i've had some 'weird' hands in my favour to, it just feel like a greater frequency of bad beats on sky but that may be due to the greater range of hands people seem to play
of course, if you keep getting your money in with the best hand, you will receive more bad beats and you give, but that's a good thing (in a roundabout way)
Well that ^ proves it, Sky is absolutely bent because you lost a hand.
Never, in my 5 years of playing poker, have I seen top pair done over by runner runner cards. Shocking. Get on the blower to the authorities Codex, you've unearthed something that could shake the online poker industry to its core.
what im saying is hands like this happen too often, both in and out of my favour
Welcome to the madhouse.
