Posted by bibxxx

 I have been rivered on many sites....and live games, and hit the one outer on the river 

to scoop the pot many times...it happens to us all , and we all do it.

    The software on Sky poker is not any worse, and often better than other sites, what it is 

 ahead of the game in is customer service, and letting you have a good moan !

   Sky also is good with rakeback / freerolls and forum support , i say just hang in ,

 take notes who rivered you...and dish out some karma .

On monday one site saw me consistantly rivered leavng me $2 down, The next day I avoided getting rivered and made profit of  $6.

A few rivered hands can create a loss short term but you'll not get many long term and should make a profit as long as you are putting your chips in correctly

notice how theres always someone saying it no worse and bad bad beats are normal.in consecutive tournaments saturday i lost 6 all in races. when ahead every time preflop to be rivered ever time. just real bad luck i suppose but when aa loses to 10 j the qq loses to a2 the kk loses to kq and so on if it random dealings at one point does it go past badluck? but  qq vs a2 ok we all know ace hits but 6 times to be rivered not beaten on flop but every time the river . does make you think. of course the other problem is complain or moan and people just think it sour grapes

I do not like calling a poker site a joke as I choose to play here.

What I do not understand is why I am not allowed to win a hand as if any game I enter the percentages are against me from either winning a hand or even a compteition.

It feels as SkyPoker is excempting my entry fee and saying thankyou but you have no chance of anything.

It is easier for me to bet on the horses than betting on a hand that I have no chance of winning.

Hands that are dealt to the table, are favouring players who possibly have good accounts with funds standing and not withdrawn.

Your dealing of hands appear with what I call teaser cards, where I am sitting with two cards of the same suit or possibly for a run and the comminutity cards dealt with a flop of two of the same suit I am sitting with or with two cards for a run and this will sit like this through the game. 

I have tried dealing cards like this at home and numerous times I have never found four like you do with your random deals.

River cards as been highlighted always comes to a hand that is still being played, this is not appeared once or twice but continous. 

Fair play is not taking place and random cards are being dealt to players who either have the most chips or what I have witness and done, being first all in.

First all in players hold advantage is unbeliveable, cards randomly come to them, which is shocking.

A friend of mine was watching on and I had two pair and a run could be had and I quickly mentioned to him the ace will be the river for the run and this appeared, he looked at me with shock, I said this happens more times than we have had hot dinners.

Poker should be played fair and not be cheated by, the players that are taking part are all being cheated and what we all should do is take our leave and not play, this will not happen as you at Skypoker and other sites know would not happen. 

Because if players did leave, these sites would panic and look more serious at their random dealing cards 

Come on Skybet be the first to look at your tables and random card set up as the software looks to be corrupt and needs to be looked at.

As for me I be back in another game hoping the switch can be flicked for a chance of winning, even though my account does not read full with pennies but I do deposit enough.

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't chasing me.

I've been unlucky and got rivered....I've also been lucky and rivered other players. Winning at Poker is not just about an individual hand or indeed a game - it is about how you manage your Poker playing overall. You lost here - can you counter the loss there or will it lead to more loss? Is this type of game right for me or will I do better in a different game?

As far as the cards are concerned, I think we all get our share of lucky draws and bad beats. You know what they say - it's how you deal with it all that matters.

fliddyfish

what makes it even of a a joke is the number of people who cant even contemplate the fact that maybe possible or just perhaps the random hands arent that random. how many times does the joke player go all in with anything and hits to knock out the aa you see it plenty of times where one player has 5 times more than anyon else at table and 5 bounties not because he has better cards but because he willing to go go all in preflop with q 7 os yes a hand that could win , but when it has happened four times in a row does this not seem improbable? then after a couple more times doubtful? well does it begin to seem dubious? sadly for some people it never will.

this is the only bit i agree with the rest is , well what can i say  thats nice , nah , utter tosh

HI mate i feel your pain, it can feel that the site is fixed and that the cards always run against you.  I have had a terrible run of cards for so long that it is now normal.  But why would they fix it? They don't have anything to gain and everything to lose.  I think it is just the same on other sites and real life.  You just have to dig deep and keep trying to improve your game. I won 1 out of 8 £50ish pots yesterday and i was a 70-30 fav or better in each 1.

I felt hard done by and gutted.  The other players were even comenting how bad it was after the first load of beats.  It happens, I'm waiting for the run good bit Hang in there.  I have lost for the last 3 months now, if i lose in March as well i will try another site.  

I like the players and the site is ok, there are lots of glitches in the software but it is the only site I play on so i dont have anything to compare it to.

Last night in my tourney the chips were dissaperaring off the table, if you shoved the amount and chips disappered, there were people railing because it was a big tourney and was down to 2 tables and they were laughing at the glitches. It wasn't great.... it was the mini avenger £700 first place so quite serious money. I didn't write to sky about it as i have written to them on lots of occasions about software problems and they always fob you off...... I don't want them to get annoyed with me.

good luck

It is impossible for anyone to cheat online!! All the hand history is recorded so even people colluding would get found out and all their previous hand history would be visable. Online is the safest way to play poker in the world!

Don't talk to me about bad beats i've had a stream of them recently on sky.

Certainly feels like it's rigged sometimes, but they will tell you till they are blue in the face that it isn't so what can you do but believe it isn't, so it must be your damned bad luck. We have all been there. Just play within your means and try to get better, no matter what people say it is gambling, Don't over estimnate skill, it isn't much of an edge but nonetheless it is an edge i'd rate an edge at about a piddling 1%. Just try and stay positive. Poker is a sick sick game like no other.

*Epic bad beat face. Youtube is full of live bb, sick sick sick things happen to good people.

PkDevil

I have seen some very bad beats in live tournament play so it's not just online. It may feel like it because you are playing more hands overall. But yeah, some of the live beats are pretty epic and you should check them out on youtube and other places.

I agree i have had too many bad beats with cards that you would just not play.. this isnt the only site but i deffo will not be depositing not for a while anyway

F1N63RS

I have played on Sky for a number of years and had plenty of bad beats

What no one ever does though is come on a forum and tell you about all the times they get it in ahead and actually win

Wouldn't that be a dull thread though??

dmw

sky doesn't favour anyone, but software is certainly set up to deal action hands. low straight v high straight, straight v flushes, 2 pair v trips, all sorts! flops to get 2 or more people interested. Action hands to get people involved in the hand and eventually for someone to be knocked out, who ever it may be. All we hope is we are on the right end of it, at least some of the time.

unknown_username

In cash on here today i had set beat by set ,set beat by river flush and KK beat twice by 4s BUT i continued with pateince and got most back and got lucky when my JJ beat aces so im basically saying it happens because its a game of statistics and variance..

No.

Poker by it's very nature is an action game. Sky don't need to do anything to this. For all the times you see set over set or flush over flush (or whatever) you forget about the previous 20 times that a single raise has taken the blinds or a cbet has won a pot with no drama whatsoever.

If you think it's anything other than random, then more fool you for playing here.

believe that and you will believe anything

It's the days like I've had today that get you - been doing ok until today, but today it's been impossible - getting my cards in 3 tournaments in a row ahead for both of the big stacks only to get outdrawn three times in a row finished me (that was after a horrendous run rest of the day too!).

My set beaten by pair all in flop

My straight beaten by their flush draw all in on turn

My higher set beaten by the lower set all in flop

(my last 3 sngs today - all with full stacks not SSs in on these hands)

Smaller games, played about 20 including cash and flush draws all in beaten me 10 times today on river!

Bad beats hurt, but runs of bad beats certainly hurt much more. Well furked off. Well not wanting poker right now, whats the point...............

swanstu

Addendum: just finally managed to luckbox my way to a sng win (while on tilt)

So it is swings and roundabouts, just they make you sick at times.

I think a big part of the problem mentally and emotionlly for a lot of players is that they don't really understand the true nature of variance in NLHE.  They think they do, but they don't.

For your own sanity I really would take the time to do some research around the subject it will help you to understand the real 'game' that you're playing.
