    Getting back to the original point though...... How on Earth can it be RIGGED? The Betting and Gaming Commission regulate and oversee it all. I'm sure they will have their people watching, playing, and investigating regularly to make sure everything is above board, and I know companies like SKYBET can't afford for anything whatsoever to be found to be out of order. Imagine having to pay everyone back like the PPI scandal !!!

    Sounds like a case of Sour Grapes from someone who has suffered at the hands of a better player/or someone who just got lucky, and if you don't believe that people get lucky, just read the fantastic posts from the UKPC that TiKay and the Team are doing up there.

    just got knocked out of tourney ,had 5's pre, flop 556, happy birthday how do I get chips into the pot i'm thinking. No need to worry someone leads out for 270 I flat, turn 6 leads out again for half his chips I instantly put them all in figuring they have a 6, (they have) call for all their chips , river another 6. Fixed god knows but nearly put the computer screen in

    Let's stick to the facts, please, it is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, as you can see by looking at the very bottom of this page.

    QQ vs KK vs AA all in pre, and someone also passed JJ pre. QQ won and he covered, big stack always wins.

    played again last night in cash game 04/08 I don't usually play cash but thought I would play a little after getting knocked out of tourney early.Had someone raising big every hand or going all in pre flop, calling or re raising anyone who dared to raise first. Find myself looking down at aces (happy days) he raises as expected, I would normally reraise or flat here depending if I have history with the person but decide to go all in for £8 something expecting him to call based on what I had witnessed before, he duly calls for his £5.80 left, turns over A4 (now really happy days) flop k59 all over I think, turn 2, river 3. Rigged? god knows but it seems to be happening all to regular where a rag ace always seems to win, is sky rewarding bad calls (players) in order to keep them playing? I keep playing because overall i'm a winning player, im aware you are going to have some bad beats but sometimes its does your head in. I would like to play at a higher level on sky but its these hands that stop me

    Well live poker is regulated by the Panama Gambling Outfit, so that doesn't surprise me.

    Just played the 6.45 tourney kings in the big blind, under the gun doubles the blind (blinds 15/30) 2 callers and round to me , I made it 280 to thin field out, utg goes all in one of the other callers goes all in both have around their starting stacks as we only 12 mins into comp, I immediately call UTG ak ,other person 8's flop AJ8 ,I end up 3rd. Fully understand the AK push but at what stage would anyone think their 8's where in front with a big raise followed by an all in. Rigged don't think so but am really starting to think there is something wrong

    There's an element to poker what is called 'luck' ;-)

    It's like what happens for the people who win £35,000,000 on the lotto. It's not rigged and there isn't "something wrong".

    maybe but everyone on the lottery has same starting chance about 45 million to one ? but poker different I think, yes you need a lot of luck but if someone puts a big raise in another comes over the top all in if you have 8's and still got your starting stack early in comp are you trying to tell me you are expecting to win, you are risking your tourney on 2 outs

    Hi Bert,

    So what exactly do you think it is, if you accept it is not "rigged"?

    Some players want to gamble early, to get a stack or bust.

    Pocket 8's man does not HAVE to be on a 2 outer, far from it. If both the other two villains have A-K, pocket 8's man is a 55% favourite to win the 3 way coup.

    If you are going to try to understand why some players appear to do the craziest things, then you need to grasp that they always have, still do, & always will do thinks which seem inexplicable to others. Thank goodness. 


    For the record, in this EXACT coup, & ignoring suits, here are the pre flop odds;

    A-K - 29.74%

    K-K - 49.91%

    8-8 - 19.65%
          

    So you were only 50% to win the hand.

    So, roughly speaking, how often should a 50% chance win? Half the time. And so it will lose half the time.

    Now turn that into tossing a coin, a 50-50 coin flip. If you call heads & it comes down tails would it really surprise you much? 

    Those were your odds - 50%. You had a coin flip.
