2 people having pairs!!!! none random dealing

edited May 2010 in Poker Chat
Ive held on for about 2 months now but now im fed up.

is there anyone else out there who when they get a pair they know that someone else has one. 8 times out of 10 i get a pair and low and behold i make a big bet and some one calls and yes they have a pair too. Whay do they do this, i reckon it must be to get us out quicker going all in so we have to enter more games. its far to frequent for it to be chance. i have two friends who agree totally with me. does any one else experience this.
 im ready to leave sky poker as the dealing of cards is not random!!!!!

    Yeah in my opinion that is what is wrong with poker! When I have a pair, nobody should have anything!



    Like you say mate, complete non-randomness. Like just now, I have a pair of 4s and make a big bet, then look what happens. The next person makes a bet obviously they have a pair!




    Sky need to sort this out and give us pairs 1 at a time like should happen when they are random.

    give the guy a break, we have all gone through bad times playing online poker when it feels like the cards are just set up to go against you. Lets be constructive and take a thought for a min why this guy is saying this. Hes oviously on a losing streak and prob needs some proper guidence to how to sort this problem out. I know there are people who take the micky outa people who say its rigged or not random but to him it prob feels like it is. Ive been there and im sure some of you have at somepoint. Anyways we need more details of what hands he is playing and why he thinks he is being beat by so many pairs.

    top 10 tips for pairs:

    1. Are they Big Pairs or small pairs or medium sized pairs?
    2. Is it a big bet, medium bet or small bet?
    3. Are you going all in with your pairs?
    4. Are you folding any pairs?
    5. Do you have a pair?
    6. after an allin do you need to change a pair?
    7. The animals went on 2 by 2 in pairs?
    8. have you got a loverly pair?
    9. www.pairusup.com if your lonely and want to see a pair?
    10. What do pairs grow on?

    come on guys put your heads together on this one as 2 (pair) heads is better than 1

    But seriously if you want people to respond rather than saying its fixed put on how your getting beat so we can help you with your play im sure they dont mean it and would be happy to give you any advice if you need it :)

    Was doing some reading on this subject recently (Wikipedia) and it surprised me at how high the odds of someone else having a better starting pair than yours are...

    The following table shows the probability that before the flop another player has a larger pocket pair when there are one to nine other players in the hand.

    larger pair when holding

    Not sure if this helps. But it's interesting none the less...

    If your opponent only has 1 pair, you shouldn't have many problems trying to make him fold.......

    Its 2p against 2p, set over set, flush over flush you wanna be worried about !!!
