    just had 10s beaten by 3s - all in pre flop. 3 hit on turn. they didn't even think about it. immediate call.
    they must have known what was coming!
    oh well, on to the next game.

    In Response to Re: joke : It is my belief that sky D0 in fact have this built in 'donkey detector' an example of this is last nights 9.25pm 146 runner bounty hunter.I won the said tourny beating yorkie74 h/u so 144 donkeys were eliminated by the 'donkey detector'.This is surely proof beyond all doubt that this device exists as the rng left in the 2 most skillful players to fight it out h/u.

     Nice one Debdobs, maybe they are testing one for the new download version, they certainly did'nt have one when Lucky was playing. I am quite surprised by the entry of 144 donkeys out of 146 players though, looks like Luckies problem is far worse than we first thought---  I wonder if the donkey detector randomly chooses which donkeys make it to the cash when there are only two skillful players?--- Maybe there are detectable levels of donkeyness, then only skillful donkeys would get to the final table--- Nice win Debs--- donka whoppa!!

    im intrigued,how does it detect which skillful player wins,i suppose its down to the luck of the cards :)

    Well Stokefc, it seems to me that the donkey detector would'nt affect the outcome of a hand that is played by two skillful players, so yes, I suppose pure luck would take over in this rare situation

     Jesus!!--- Thats a very complacent attitude you have there Walesboy, I would have gone flopwit loopy altogether. I think these donkeys should be reported to customer care mate, I have already reported Phil12uk, and I will report anyone else that is missed by the donkey detector too!!

    I agree wholeheartedly Angel draws, its all very nice and cosy blaming the game of poker when these bad beats happen, but who does that help eh?--- Anyone ever seen that world class player Phil Helmuth blaming the game of poker, eh? --- eh?---- well?----- I did once see Chris "jesus" ferguson blaming the game and not the player, but thats because he probably really is Jesus, as I have suspected for quite some time now

    Thanks Greg, it is very reassuring to find that a top class player like yourself has seen the light and come round, in some degree, to the general consensus of opinion on this subject. I do realise that Lucky complaining about a simple 50/50 hand going against him may have sounded a bit silly at first, and even a second glance at the thread may not have revealed the true nature of Luckys complaint, but detailed scrutiny of the thread, and deep reflection upon it's merits, has given rise to a new understanding of why we (as skillful players) win in the long term, and why donkeys win in the short term, and why it is not fair that these donkeys win against superior interlect and skill on a regular basis. Lucky has put this situation into perspective for us, and I for one, thank him for this insight--- I have begun a systematic and indepth research of the subject Greg, and believe it or not, typing "donkey poker" into my search engine yields over one million results!!--- so I think we should all be very grateful that Lucky has brought this issue to our attention, and in future, we should not be so quick to dismiss a thread as silly, just because it's content suggests that it is.

    Thanks very much Debs

     This thread has just been bumped for the benefit of several disconcerted players that seem to be wondering what exactly is going on when they make a raise that deserves respect, but gets called by a less than premium hand.

     The phenomenon known widely as "donkey poker" has always presented a challenge to "proper poker" players, even the great Tikay himself has fallen victim to the wide calling range of the aforementioned creative speculators on more than one occasion, indeed Richard Orford has been known to secure Tikays exit from a tournament. Recent developments demand that this challenge must be met with renewed vigour on Sky poker, and to this end, I have thrown open the floor to suggestions on how to counteract the "donkey effect"

     One question that may throw some light on the subject can be answered by the statistics department at Sky, and I hereby call for their help on this matter--- The question is-- What percentage of new players on the site are actually recruited by advertisements on the Sky Bingo section of the website?--- It may also be useful to know what percentage of new players begin their experience with Sky on the slot machines at Sky vegas?

                                       Thank you in anticipation of a prompt response

    What can I say - happens all the time!
    And, I know I shouldn't say it as you'll put me on the detector list, I've even been known to completely misread a hand and win with a 2 outer or so. I know! The shame of it!

    Complacent attitude?! Me! Well, I am on my third laptop and it has lasted two weeks now! I suppose I've calmed down a bit or it could be I'm just too tired at the moment with the kids being ill.

    Seriously (!?), I do get really really annoyed (edited!) but once I've been a way from the tables a bit, I think what's the point? I've made a note and will hopefully get them next time.

    Please don't report me! Pppppplllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeee!!!!!
