ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
I have noticed as of late there seems to be a theme of bad beats and bad players winning and more and more people saying the same thing. Cold runs and just amazingly shocking cards coming down. I would like to stay positive and think this is just a run of bad luck but im starting to think there is more to it!!
For the last week but mainly last couple of days and definately today the cards coming down have been absolutely ridiculous.
For example:
I was just knocked out of the open after holding pocket Ks and hitting another K on the flop to make my set. only an A on the board which is no worry uless they are holding pocket As or AK. Player raises i re-raise they call. then turn comes a 6 i think. 2 hearts on the board so i decide to push for all my chips and I get called with A10 hearts just have to dodge the heart. GUESS WHAT.......... HEART I LOSE.
Now i dont blame the player as he had outs and hit his top pair and thought he was ahead. Hey thats poker I hear you say!! this is just one story in a slaughter of beats today game after game after game after game. ive had full houses beat, st8s on the flop beat, sets and trips beat, AA beat by J 10s, KK beat by 95, QQ beat by J5 the hands ive stated are all hands ive held that have been beat today not mentioning others of the same calibur, Premium hands being beat by suck outs when im betting ahead and NOT SLOW PLAYING.
Its got so bad i have had to reload my bank roll too many times and now im scared to even play a game. The Luck eliment in this game seems to outweigh the skill eliment id have more chance of being struck by lightning than winning with the best hand it seems.
Im sure there will be comments about how i might be playing the hands wrong or stop moaning we all get bad beats. Well if you are thinking that you cant be getting it as bad as me. I have to air my thoughts on this because i would like to know why its this bad and if it continues im very close to Leaving Sky as a poker site and i dont want to do that because of its great community and contributions.
I ask sky to see why this is happening and im sure you will lose customers if it continues and to check out the sofware that deals these hands. Check out my exit hands sky and see if you think its natural and i bet you see the story im telling.
I wish all good luck and dont want to come across as a moaner but when something feels wrong im gonna talk about it.
Im going to have a go in the velocity and ill let you know what happens there im pretty sure its going to happen there LETS SEE

Hope you get over your bad run soon (as long as it aint against me!!)
Have the weekend off from playing online make the most of the sun and get down the beach do some surfing bbq etc.
BTW if you play fight night round 4 on the legacy mode you will see that all computer software is against you!!
Chin up mate.

Again thanks for the support thats what i like about this forum your all fab and the reason i have stayed. GL
but w/e OMG I lost with a set who cares no one
the people complaining about rigged sites and bad beats have no idea about the statistics of poker.
if you even understand the concept of variance then you will know that fast paced tournies increase the variance by a huge amount.
stick to DYMs or low stakes sit and go's if your BR is that low...I would imagine that your main problem is that you are playing too high for your roll.
Its also my right to put my point across about this as its been also noted by other players recently and the fact that you trust the system to work ok is very gullible nothing is full proof in cyber space. I love poker and have learnt a lot over the years and can take bad beats on the chin and deal with it, but to happen this often goes against the odds and ruins the game for good players.
Your are entitled to your opinion but i suggest you read the post correctly and understand this is not a bankroll issue even though it has effected it. Its my money and i dont like to throw it away but thats not the issue here.
LOL i knew you would get people just looking at it from one view and not the story i am trying to tell here. I hope you have been getting great hands m8ty but id also like to see how you would be thinking if you were in my shoes lately.
just av a couple of days off thn come back stronger gl
LOL ok well I would try and give you advice but a) you are too stupid to take it and b) you don't desverve it.
You say you are a good player yet pick out very, very specific example of you losing hands.
I have played poker nearly every day for 6 years; I have played millions of hands and have millions of these hands tracked via Poker Tracker. I am a member of 2plus2, the worlds biggest poker forum, and there has never been an instance of any poker site to have a Random Number Generator that has been found to be rigged.
Before you keep ranting like a mad man just think of the millions and millions of possible hands per poker hand and then think of how small your tilt induced sample of 'OMFG its so rigged SKY want my £1 rake so so bad' is.
People like you are the reason why people like me find poker so profitable. So blinded by the short term that you start playing even worse than you currently do.
PF pot is 600...this is dead money.
As you only have 600 behind if he puts you AI then he is getting 2/1 on his money.
With 68 vs a random hand with overcards it is 60/40.
So in basic temrs he is paying 33pc for 40pc equity.
As you have let yourself get that shortstacked in a high speed tournie then you clearly don't undersntand that maths so therefore he also has some fold equity as donks like you will fold stuff like 72 here.
His play is correct and one I would make 100% of the time.
You got it in ahead and lost a 60/40...big deal...the fact it came on the river is no consequence to the overall equity assigned to each hand PF.
When people get beat they need to vent.
You will not see someone on here start a thread OMG I JUST RIVERED SOMEONE I FEEL SO BAD COS I THINK I ONLY WON COS ITS RIGGED or HAHAHA MY AA BEAT KK AIPF WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What games do you usually play tho sir and what limits?
