    If you want my honest answer, NO , i started on Ladbokes and it was infamous for rivering people(far worse than on any other site.
    Ive also dabled with Pokerstars and it was just as bad there so in the end. ITS POKER.
    When youve had 3 to 5 months of outdraws and bad calls winning then come back and moan, as you have to remember if you are outdraw you were ahead every time.

    everyone is on the payroll except you, sorry.

    But seriously, the people who are complaining about this are the people that don't understand, or accept varience. Accepting this fact helps with dealing with bad beats.

    This is a bit harsh Eizey.
    I dont work at Sky, i'm not, as you say up their bum, and i dont think it helps when you dont like someones reply, to get shirty and accuse people of things.
    From no on i'll do my best to stay away from your posts, even if they have any valid points.
    Thanks for that m8

    I watch about four live poker shows a week on TV and what I see there is no different to what I see online.

    Hi eizey,

    Well I AM, sort of, on the Sky Poker payroll, wearing various hats. I am also a regular Player on the Site, with my own Account. I can expand on both those statements if you wish.

    But I am not, up, err, anyone's orifice, & I have no need to be.

    If you want to debate this matter, I'd be very happy to engage with you, & have that debate, as long as it's done in a sensible & adult manner.

    I'm ready when you are.

    Take care now.

    Tsk,good point well made but ruined by random misuse of capitals.
    Please read "Poker for Dummies" and "Grammar for Dummies" then try again.
    Thanks for taking the time to contribute though.

    If you don’t think the cards dealt are random then what do you believe influences what cards come on the flop, turn and river?  Previous betting patterns?  Or does the software just pick a player at the table and makes sure he/she always wins irrespective of the actions of the other players at the table?

     

    You need to ask yourself why would Sky want to influence the outcome of a hand or tournament.  What do they get out of it?  Sky make their money from their money from the buy in fees.  Once they have their money why do they care who wins the game?  Surely it’s in Sky’s (and all other poker sites) best interest to use fair software otherwise as soon as players suspect a site is rigged they will desert the site.  Fewer players = less income for Sky.  It just doesn’t make sense.
