get a fkn grip sky
wish someone from sky would look back at my hand history for the last 2 months, and see the sht i have been losing to especially in tourniment.. why anyone would shove 44 or q9 out of position but sky seems to reward them more often than not.
honestly the amount of time i have had people shove in front of me with psh when i,m holding AA OR KK QQ OR JJ and i lose all the fkn time.. its dishearting and really am starting to go off sky after playing on it nearly every day for years.. think its time for a change.. really sick of this pish random my fkn as s yous D*&ks

A few years ago , I used to play Bridge, competition Bridge. I reached a high standard.
Because i played a lot and I read a lot of bridge books, I got good at it. The two went together. Reading and playing.
As I was climbing the bridge ladder and finishing near the tops of events quite often, I was being noticed and getting invited into new partnerships with better players.
When I started with a new partner and we discussed strategies playing styles and ironed out any differences in our bidding/ styles etc..we would normally win a few events , and then the good runs would taper off . It would happen often. An initial high, then lows would come.
I read up on what we could be doing wrong and it boiled down to this...
In a new partnership , we both didn't want to let the other player down, so we would be disciplined and focused at first , then after a while. Complacency would creep in, and bad habits that were beneath the surface would re-surface.
I see this happening with my poker, after I cash out any amount, I ALWAYS hit a down swing, its not a poker site hitting a doom switch, Its my thinking thats changed and my playing attitude.
Its my attitude that's changed, instead of being as focused as I was with my initial deposit , I'm a bit lackadaisical and expect the monies to come flooding in, and they never do.
And, I ignore the face that my roll got so high in the first place because I sucked out at a stake that was far too high for me anyway.
I'd be quite interested if someone could explain to me how this so-called "cashout curse" actually works in practice.
Let's be honest, Sky Poker's software works fine, & is fit for purpose, but it's hardly the most sophisticated, state of the art bit of kit out there, is it? (They don't even have antes yet).
So how exactly does it work, explain to me what Sky Poker do when someone cashes out, what sort of button do they press, what bit of code do they change?
For your first clue, there is zero linkage between Account Management & the poker software.
So what are we suggesting Sky Poker (or any other online poker site, because the myth exists equally on all sites) do when someone cashes out to change the outcome of poker hands of one specific account? Does it do something automatically, or does a little man have to do it manually every time a player cashes out?
Must be a neat bit of software, that.
It really does fascinate me how people think this "cashout curse" is somehow the fault of the poker site. I've seen it suggested 10,000 times or more, but not once has anyone tried to explain how it actually works, what the mechanics are. Because they can't, of course. It seems players can say what they like, with no proof or logic, but of course the Sites dare not reply in kind. One way street, & all that. It's bang wrong. IMO, obv.
Could it also be the fact that people sometimes cash out and stop playing for awhile so they become "ring rusty"?
