thats right consecutive....
Comments
1st hand is a race, you can have no complaint here. 2nd hand you have 3's and he' has Jacks??? you should lose and you do, again you can have no complaint about losing with 3's against jacks can you? 3rd hand you lose by Call, Call, Check, Check - You can complain about this but only to yourself.... You found the raise button for AQ so where was it When your sitting on the Cowboys???
Last hand was bad play by them that they then got lucky with -
By The Way.... Who Has Left????
look at the odds of getting these hands in a row...
one might get the impression it was making you lose...
as in why didnt the other guy bet the river with his straight??
maybe you need to be nice to sky rich and he will give you hands like this.............................;)
look odds on pocket pair are 16-1
odds on kk are 110 -1
odds on aa are 220-1
so odds on these three hands alone in succession are 1 in 387,200
thats before we even go into the results....
love to you all
Why would you think that you are twice as likely to get KK as AA???
With regard to people leaving, people from Sky Poker have said several times that they have more people joining and playing. From my own figures, last October (when the 200 millionth hand was played) about 260,000 hands a day were played on Sky Poker; currently 285,000 hands a day are played. That's an increase of about 10%.
The reason people leave sky poker, just like ANY of the other poker sites is because :-
When they lose money - they blame everything/everyone else except themselves (thats called human nature), its the software, its playing against donks, its a fix, the list is endless. Apart from three factors we all have an equal chance of winning - 1) the players skill level, 2)the players mental attitude to downswings, and 3) luck
Its how we adapt our play to the first one, change our mindset to the second one, and how we must realise that no matter how good your hole cards are, your never really that far away from getting beat, thats what players forget, they think if they get QQ,KK,AA,AK they are going to win a pot load of money, but as we know (and if you dont, you had better learn fast) that just isn't the case.
The best bit of advice i can give is - always play with the attitude that if you lose your buy in it doesnt matter, if it does, then you are playing beyond your means and thats when losses hurt, and most importantly of all - play for enjoyment, if you aint enjoying it, then dont play.
am not at all bothered about the losing,merely pointing out that 320,000 to 1 shots all day are a bit above the norm....
how many times have you had a pocket pair three hands in a row?

looney how come access to this users statistics have been disabled?
With the AQ your bet of 60 after the flop into a 130 pot was so weak it said nothing and invited a flat call.particularly as he had checked to you. A cbet has to be close to potsize to be effective. Then you gave the pot up by checking.
With the 33 you made no attempt to win the pot, so you cant be surprised that you didnt.
The KK, by simply calling from the small blind it showed you were happy to play the hand against 3 opponents, any ace on the flop and you were out of there anyway. When the flop came up with 2 clubs (and the 7 5) you faced a minimum bet and flat call, which showed that both were likely to be on draws. Surely you need to protect your hand there with a substantial raise ? After the turn the damage was done as you could obviously see the danger, but you still let it be checked down without asking the question, so he hit on the river for free.
With the AA you made a reasonable raise preflop,and were perhaps unlucky not to take it down there and then. Your cbet was again on the low side but was enough to ask the question. Then you ignored the answer given by his proper reraise and shoved ! I suppose excuseable because it was a BH.
Tony
you are correct in all that you said,but i was looking at this scientifically and wanted to see the results,on a normal day i would have raised with the kk,but i chose to see the hand playout.....if you had been at the table,you would have seen why......and yes also the aa was bad call,not one i would have normally made,but i wanted to see if the cards would have followed the ealier pattern and the only way to do that was call....and normally anyone with AA i call with two pairs on the flop usually wins with pair
being drawn on turn and river....ie k k ....lol...
thanks.....
good luck at vegas......

another classic...
The mind is a funny thing and only ever seems to remember when we lose and not the hands we win. Concentrate on playing your hands correctly, you will still get outdrawn, it's a Mathematical certainty that this will happen, but in the long run this will be out weighed by the times your hand will hold up against inferior holdings (played correctly and not allowing 4 people to see the flop, turn & river to get lucky).
Your "Test" is very one sided if your looking at this scientifically, where are the hands that you have won with? unless you haven't won a hand since this thread started?
These threads always hint at the same "It's Rigged" type statement (and before you mount your high horse i know you haven't come out and said that but honestly what else could this be getting at?), And I always ask the same question of those that post them................WHY?
Why would sky risk reputation and a perfectly well running business to be caught up in a betting scandal. This would tarnish the entire companies reputation, cost them God knows how much in revenue, force their players to find alternative sites and all for............ Nothing....... Does that sound sane to you?
If you personally win or lose a hand it makes no difference to sky, rake is rake and they make the same amount of money if you win as they do if your oppo wins. Where is the benefit?
