    Quite right Gav.

    Just because you're paranoid? Don't mean Sky aren't after you. Murdoch's in league with Google. That's all I can say before my life becomes endangered ;-)

    explanty!!!

    Machka is the grandmaster of all mods.

    I'm on your side explanty. But don't be surprised if I mysteriously disappear by the morning. I'm too old and Sky have sussed out that I know what they know explanty. Keep this fire burning. Don't let my death be for nothing.

    exxxxpllllannntttyyyyyy! Don't let this be in vain. Arrgghhhhhhh, Tikay, I, I loved...

    Well, Rumbling in this thread tonight. So I will add my thoughts here. I love Sky Poker and the general layout the community feel everything. However, it just does not matter how big a favourite you go into a hand, you always get outdrawn in big pots, or that is just my experience anyway.

    Just now, at a cash table 20p/40p blinds i come with £11, work myself up to £66. I am on the button and get pocket 10s, raise to £2, small blind and big blind both call. Flop comes down Kc, 10d, 5c.

    I bet £3, small blind raised to £10. I re-raise to £30, small blind shoves all in. I quickly think to myself, well if he's got pocket kings fair play to him that's just unlucky, he could have a flush draw but I can't lay this down. I call so its a £132 pot.

    Small blind turns over Ace, King. No flush draw at all.

    Turn As,

    River Ac.

    Now to say I was left speachless was an understatement. Firstly it's awful play to go back in over the top a second time with a pair of kings when you been raised pre-flop, continuation bet, re-raised but then to reward that bad play with Ace, Ace as the two runner cards is just too fishy.

    I would like to reitterate, I don't claim to be an amazing player and I know that Poker is just based on probability but since last Friday it just seems that no hand holds up to bad play. Pretty much in a deck of cards their was 5 cards to hit on the turn and then 4 on the river, hitting 1 on either the turn or river would have been a miracle let alone 2. Fed up of no matter how well you play on this site nothing holds up. 

    Plus I also got a parking ticket today, brilliant!

    Sky is brilliant.

    Sky rules.

    What have they done to me.... Zap!!!!

    Machka isn't a mod, nor is Dohhhhh. No chance. Phil2UK wins all the time coincidentally. Tikay and Orford bubbling all the time isn't a smoke screen.

    But wait a minut.... Zap!!!!

    Sky is brilliant.

    Skkkyyyyyyyy.

    4:45am, I'm going to call it a night now. It is only Poker, but at the end of the day sometimes you feel like the whole world is against you. If people make Royal Flushs then i guess people are gonna be just as lucky to hit a gut shot 1 in a million shot against me for £130!

    Hope the next time I'm on here I am not coming across as a moaner!

    Well, as long as they're quick with any increased level of shuffling. I don't want to be sat waiting around for the dealer all the time.

    Maybe if each table had two dealers....with one sat at the side shuffling away getting ready for the next hand. This seemed to work well on the Durr challenge recently. Sky just need to employ some better dealers. Some of them can be both nice and efficient. The ones we've got now are obviously not doing the job right.

    I've never had much luck with AK. Now I know why.

    The problem is.- Too many Sky dealers are drunk most of the time.

    i have never had so many ak , aq etc and only got small cards out on flop turn and river. beat on aa kk  on nearly every hand, this is not realistic , if you play normal cards this does not happen on so many occurences, you need to sort out the dealing

    You're lucky, you can actually play the games you enter!!!
    When it takes 1hr 30 to get onto your table, you've been blinded out, maybe played A hand before being "disconnected!", that is THE reason skypoker is rubbish!!!!!!!!

    SKYPOKER! CAN YOU PLEASE SORT THIS FECKIN' SITE OUT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! 
    EITHER MAKE IT DOWNLOADABLE OR SORT OUT THE SOFTWARE AND SERVER SO IT CAN HANDLE THE TRAFFIC!!!!!
    I AM SO SICK OF WASTING MY TIME "TRYING" TO GET ON THE FLIPPIN' TABLES!!!
    POKERSTARS AND FULLTILT CAN DO IT,WHY NOT SKY?????????

    Replying to the first thread if ur ace kings always get taken down play low cards! U cant expect to win if ur holding and ace king at the start of the hand, ur odds are better but not by much!! And the chances of ur aces and kings coming down on the flop are the same online as live there are still 52 cards! If u play low stakes tho ppl will constantly call hoping for flushes or draws so that myt be where its going wrong for ya!

    been there done that they just dont care m8ty simples, there is no rule to say u cant tell your cards b4 the hand is over but they say if u do u can be chat banned if there isnt a rule then how can u be chat banned doesnt make sense, and they say it is against the ettiqutte so is in fact a rule work that one out
