In Response to Re: the reason people get annoyed and leave sky poker. : 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%. Posted by MereNovice
Yep I noticed this was in October .............. just after most beaches have shut down for the winter ............... and what do the donkeys do on their winter break? ......... play skypoker win loads with nuthin and then stay on site coz their bad play is so well rewarded
Hi Toby , yes it is unusual to get pocket pairs three hands in a row but thats poker . But I have to be critical of the way you played the hands. 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 Posted by penguin7
So when I raised my AK pre flop and flopped trip K's my all-in of 3000+ should be enuff to tell a "player" i'm playin a hand .............. so when a donk calls with nuthin but 3 hearts then drops 2 more on turn and river ........ what u suppose to think then?

Limping in that short stacked with J3 is pretty horrible regardless of what happened afterwards.

To be honest I dont think limping in when you have just 450 chips left is a good idea. With that few chips its either push all in or fold. If you do push all in there is a chance that the other players will fold and you get to take down the blinds and look for the next position to push.

To be fair, the player probably thought he had had any 3, any seven, any spade, or, at a push, even any 8 to win the hand ie up to 18 outs after the flop, so not totally bad play, depends also what your table image was and whata kind of tourney. To call your all in on a pot worth approx 1450 he had to put in 925 chips meaning he had to think he had a 38% chance of winning the hand. If he was calculating his outs it would have meant he had a 39.4% chance of winning the hand so mathematically correct. GL on the tables
