Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
I expect you have all been there!
Ya in a turney...or sit and go....ya short stacked....And this is what happens!
You are dilivered ....9-9 or 10-10 or J-J or Q-Q...
Ya in a situation....where you dont really have a choice...but to go all in!
Only to find another player...has been dilivered K-K or A-A or A-K suited!
Flop comes always with the over card that favours the other hand even if its not as powerfull as your hand! Why is this...?????
Ill tell you why i think think this happens...well pretty much know why it happens!
These are poket cards are what i call the "CARROT or SUCKER" cards!
" DANGLING THE CARROTS YOU SUCKER"
They are deliberatly deat to encourage you to bet...and its prob your big blind anyway!....This is that the softwhare wants to eliminate players asap...and this is and opportunity to do just that!...Mean while the softwhare is giggling away to its self knowing ya going to be stiched up!...Now sometimes the softwhare just hasnt got the cards to do that so waht happens is..."SPLIT POT"...And now its just given you a stay of execution!...Its happened to me several times!
And while we are on about cards ...Can any of you answer this question!
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 1ST CLASS PROFFESIONAL LIVE DEALER....AND AN ELECTRONIC DEALER...
I already know the answer to this question....and if you can get it right ....You sort of blow the lid off online poker!
I would be intrested in what you have to say ...and you answers!...
Frank!

Frank, no online software is sophisticated enough to do what you suggest. Poker, whether online or live is completely random. There is no way any poker site software can make a small stack pick up 1010 and the chipleader get dealt KK, or can predict that any particular player will play any particular hand.
A live professional dealer is virtually no different from an online dealer. However, an online deal is better really and more "pure"because there is no chance of a card getting stuck during a shuffle, or a series of cards not being separated properly.
These conspiracy theories are just so daft. It does not benefit the site to eliminate players. There is no need for any human to manipulate anything through software because the poker gods and lady luck are experts at this already.
AND YOUR WRONG....IM RIGHT....
ONLINE POKER SOFTWHARE IS COMPLEX AND SOPHISTICATED STUFF...A RELATIVE OF MINE ...WORKS FOR A SOFTWHARE COMPANY THAT HAS WRITTEN ONLINE POKER SOFTWHARE! I FEEL I KNOW BETTER THAN YOU ...
YOU GOT THE QUESTION WRONG BUD!
TYR AGAIN!
I TOLD YOU I KNOE THE ANSWER ...dopey!
I think I love you fr4nkie boy.
You're the best fr4nkie xx
I AM THE KEYBOARD KING....THE KEYBOARD WARRIOR! DO NOT **** WITH THE KEYBOARD KING!
I READ THIS ON HERE AWHILE BACK,
COMMONSENSE REALLY INIT !
First: 20/5/2009
Last: 6/8/2009
As stated elsehwere our software is fully independently tested (by industry-leading experts) and we're regulated by the AGCC - however maybe there's little point to going over this again.
So - we thought we'd provide a dedicated area for our conspiracy theorists to get things off their chest, maybe feel better and still continue to play on our site!
I'll leave you with a wee thought...
Q. What does the random number generator in our poker software actually do?
A. It shuffles (very effectively) 52 cards once per hand - and once only
That's all really.
For example - if there are 6 people seated at the table - the software shuffles the cards - then deals 2 cards per player and the three flop cards.
Which players then fold, call or bet is irrelevent - the turn card is the same card that was next in the deck from the original shuffle. In this example it would be the 16th card (given the numbers seated at the table before the hand was dealt).
The same applies to the river card - it is the card that is next in the deck from the original shuffle. In this example the river card would be the 17th card in the deck from the original shuffle.
So the question is - with only one shuffle per hand and no randomisation between the flop, turn and river cards being dealt - plus no prior knowledge (how could we?) of which players will fold - bluff, slow play etc - how do we still manage to produce all these bad beats?
Answers on a postcard...
You also answered things i dint ask!
1st
ANY SOFTWHARE ..be it poker softwhare or any other softwhare...runs only by INSTRUCTION....this listing of instructions is not finite! Poker softwhare has only so much intruction to work And only needs so much intruction to work!
2nd
When did you last see a LIVE DEALER with umptine other dealers around him/her ...INSTUCTING the main dealer what to do now and what to do next!
3rd
In order to perform ANY THING NEAR true random number you will need a super computor thats at LEAST 512bit! Now that has to be decrunched down to 32bit so that mellons like us can play on line poker on our 32 bit computors! A 512bit computor would cost a small fortune!
4th
DEALING...A live dealer DOES NOT KNOW what cards he/she has dilivered and to what player! WHERAS an electronic dealer NEEDS to know this information...ITS ESSENTIAL otherwisei might get KK hearts...or i my get Kheart and another player may get K hearts! So the softwhare/rng needs to know information that a LIVE dealer dosnt!....Now if the electronic dealer knows who has what ,,...the the flop...turn and river cards can be ajusted in antone favour! This does not mean the softwhare is bent...but this is why i struggle to deposit ....THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED BEFORE WE START!
5
TOURNAMENTS...In a live tournament ...say 700 seats ....it can take DAYS to complete a tournament! US online players dont have DAYS to play ....but we do have HOURS...The softwhare engineers KNOW this so the softwhare is coded accordinly!....Why is it that tournaments ...always finnish in 4-5 hours! Simple ...WE do have that amount of time to play! ...So ...the softwhare HAS to boot out players asap ...! And timing is important in that part of online poker! 4-5 hours in every tournament IS NOT RANDOM IN ITS SELF ...other wise some tournaments would go on and on and on! This would BORE folk into not playing online poker at all....The bosses know this!
6
FOLDING..... Yes folding is important...and sometimes you gasp when the flop comes down in you favour! BUT HOWEVER ..Once a player has folded the softwhare is no longer intrested in that player ...so can quickly feed another!
