    It is just bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat. Dont say it will even its self out because it dont. 1 good day 5 bad one's, bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat after bad beat. Nothing but a con and a fix.

    If you REALLY believe that then why continue to play here? I just got busted out of a BH by a joker calling my 4xBB raise with Q9 and then hitting a straight on the flop against my AJ when the board was jack high. It hurts and its annoying but its poker.

    There are so many stories of similar bad beats in both live poker and other sites. Its not just this site, its not just the next site, its not just online poker, its not just live poker. Its just poker. Thats the way of the game - accept it and play but, if you cant accept it, then you are better off playing a non luck related game.

    thats the thing its not poker? like live poker is not that predictable,sky pokers software is the same as vegas rigged software, look the many times 44 hits set and ak beats pair not 50 / 50, like this site i play on now its much easyer 2 hit flush draws? skypoker u rarley hit flush draws only the runner runner,kk is cursed on sky

    I'll be very honest with you Bossbox, I'm sick to the back teeth of people who come on whinging all the time.
    It's very simple in my eyes. IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GO TO ANOTHER SITE, OR SHUT UP AND ACCEPT IT.
    We all suffer these type of runs but most of us dont make a fuss about it as there is nothing you can do about it.

    Wow, thought i had a hard luck story to tell,  AA 19 times and only winning twice??

    Bit out of love with poker after my recent bad beat.  Dealt KK and then the button goes all in with 1000 chips (blinds are 50/25).  Called it as I had doubled up.  Someone else goes all in with 900 chips.  The button had A 8 and the villan had 7 9 hearts????  Yup a flush on the river for 9 7.  Grrrr. 

    Annoyed, yes!  However can't say the site is fixed or a con.

    MR mbro if people are whinging about it all the time dont you think there COULD be some truth in it? Just remember no smoke without fire. I would also like to make another point just for you, don't tell me to shut up there's a good chap. The community is for getting things of your chest for all people and not just for people who THINK they are something special. If you are fed up to the back teeth with reading about whingeing all the time i have simple solution for you, DONT COME ON HERE, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT.

    Guys, shall we quit with the personal abuse, before the Mods get on the case? Calling fellow Members "idiots" ain't gonna be well received upstairs, & it's just a game, poker.

    I actually drove this - the picture was taken at Old Oak Common Shed. It's a 2-6-2 Tank Engine - as you can clearly see - & we used to cal them "tunner wunners". I don't really know why.

    Weaher's been nice today, too. Grass needs cutting, though.

    Let me guess all this happened after you cashed out?What happens is sky have employed a gremlin who works in the office his job is to scan who wins and cashes out then when this is done, his job is to switch the doomswitch button on and then the player will not win a hand ever again ;-)

    Nice train TK, reminds me of some my dad had on his hornby sets.

    The forum is to air all views pro or cons any subject but abusing players is out of order. This is a game of cards, not life and death.

    We ALL suffer bad beats, if you want to air them then fair enough, but no need to be abusive in the process.

    Personally I am learning to laugh off annoying beats - talking about them and thinking about them just makes me want to tilt more.

    This community has become very friendly and since the success in Vegas I would like to think it will grow and get more successful. Imagine the SPUKT tour in the future now we all chat together :)

    Thanks for all your hard work in Vegas TK, we ALL appreciated it.

    To be fair I dont play much on here but all poker is the same, live, other sites, home games.....

    In the long run are bad beats not good? It means you are going in ahead and they other guys needs to get lucky. Maths state that people will not always get lucky, therefore, you become a winning player in the long run.

    Also re your comment on tracking hands dont you need a sample size of like 20k hands for analysis to be meaningfull??

    What a great paragraph that is, & how true.

    The next SPUKT Day will be wicked, now that we sort of "know each other" via the Forum. And if there is not another SPUKT soon - & I have no idea one way or another - we'll organise one privately, one weekend, somewhere. We'll have a nice little Tourney, some Heads-Up matches (Teams?), a quiz, a 5-a-side footie Tourney, Karaoke, demonstrate our Train Sets, la de da.

    Actually, that sounds like an idea to me.....

    I can take swings and rounabouts but it happens time after time and dont say it will even it self out because it doesn't. I seem to go in, in front and ALWAYS yes always get out drawn. Mickjenn1 has said if you are going in in front you are doing something right, yep to true always lose. This is why i said at the start, bad beat, after bad beat, after bad beat. FH 3 times in 5 games beaten by quads is a bit much, i have NEVER heard of that in a live game but bet your bottom doller someone will have, just wait and see.
