last month went out the primo in 15th. 5ish big blinds left and all in with aq v a5 pre flop they hit the 5. just had my stack decapitated guy all in with in aq, i called with ak he hit trip' q's. SOMEBODY tell me how that's luck evening out. One less sky poker customer. NEVER AGAIN!

Two hands are not a big enough sample to talk about luck evening out.  You're just on a bad run, shake it off and get back on that horse

those were just 2 examples where we both had no hand an odds were in my favour. been happening all the way through that time. no word of a lie my 2 flushes w' suited hole cards tonight got done by f houses. i may aswell play roulette, bye bye sky

you say it yourself , ODDS were in your favour. THis just represents most likely option not the actual outcome. Over hundreds of thousands of hands you will have runs in your favour and against it. It's part of poker im affraid. We would all like to win every time the odds are working in our favour but this is just not the way of things with this game im afraid

You're using quite a small sample size though, DOHHHHHH

The odds of you losing both of these hands is only 15/1.

6.25% of the time it WILL happen.

Here is a quick list of odds of losing with AK v AQ (or any other 75/25 situation);

1 - 3/1

2 - 15/1

3 - 63/1

4 - 255/1

5 - 1023/1

10 - 1,048,576/1

I can understand being upset if you lose 5+ of these 75/25 hands but losing 2 in a row will happen 1 in 16 times, just be glad you got your money in a favourite, 93.75% of the time, you would have won one of them and still been in. If you keep getting yourself into these situations, you will win in the long term.
