    Alea Leeds last night cash game in half an hour

    I saw 3  1 outers on the river take down huge pots including one that cost Sian a pot of about £80

    This is "live" poker

    I have played on FT, PS, PKR and others and Sky is no different, you get bad beats and 1 outers on all of them including live poker.

    Agreed Dave i get them live as well, been a while since i went to an alea casino there isnt any close to me, the one in notts had marble stairs which i thought were a bit ott lol

    Back to the outdraws its not bad beats that i have the problem with, the way the theory goes is that a rigged rng would deal players very similar hands ie set v over set, full house v better full house ect ect basically cooler type hands so the all the chips go in the middle and thus creating more rake, another positive would be that these hands would make better tv

    KKarlos - Your absolutely right you do have the right to your opinion, but in fairness others have a right to rubbish that opinion when it is incorrect or based on half truths and unsound theory, especially if you post it in a public forum for others to debate. If the only people that replied to your posts were those that agreed with your opinion then it's not really a debate is it?

    I respect your right to comment as i hope you respect mine, as for as the notion that SKY Bet is a differing company from BskyB...... Well of course it is but do you think public perception will see it that way? If sky fixed things as you assume and this were ever to get out (as invariably these things do) then that is the reputation of the parent company at risk not just SKY bet, reputation isn't a point of law it's a point of perception and if one arm does something the Whole entity takes the rap.

    Contrary to popular belief Murdoch does not own sky.

    39% is owned by News Corporation, 45% of News Corporation is owned by Murdoch,so he has a minority interest in a company that has a minority interest in Sky.

    In Response to Is Sky Poker taking the Mickey out of most of its players???:
    Are there any players out there who make money on their other sites but find beat after beat on sky???  Are there players who keep flopping a set and getting done by an over set????  are there players who turn a full house and the other guy has 4 of a kind??? Maybe its just me but i dont think so, any site with a whole forum area for this sort of thing tells a story, just like some sites that have bad beat jackpots, if you get 4 of a kind 7's or better and get beat omg thats crazy, but a few sites have them, i would settle for the best hand holding up for a change, i stick up for sky poker most of the time but this run takes the p i s s, what i am winning on FT and PS i loose  on here!
    Posted by KKarlos93
    Here seemed random to me. However PS !?!  I dropped that as soon as i picked it up. I dunno man. Not getting sucked into a debate on random again. I know what i know. All sites are NOT the same even tho they are ALL random. Find the place that's right for you i guess ? But you know that already ?
    It's human nature right, to do what's best for you ?
    Can we stop this thread now ?
    Please :/

    Never played on FT and I don't think I will. I'm slightly put off buy the 620+ page thread on their forum claiming that 'the site is rigged'... ;-)

    I thought ft was reasonable. only played 100k tho, ps is clearly bonkers. i can't believe people moan about sky. they've not tried hard enough to find out poker is sick anyway, but sicker elsewhere. i give up. this goes on forever. i like you tho noseybonk because you exhibit reason. therefore you are normal. Winner thanx :) And as everyone knows  Can't Understand Normal Thinking is a definitive term that is as longlasting as humanity itself.

    Hmmm.....cant imagine their are any shareholders with a bigger perecentage...!!!

    also

    15 June 2010, News Corp made a takeover bid of BSkyB, wishing to gain the remaining 61% of the shares owned by other shareholders at 700p per share, however, this was rejected. BSkyB demanded that an offer of more than 800p per share would better value the company, meaning that News Corp would have to find an extra £1bn. If a deal is reached between the two companies, regulatory approval will be needed by either the European Commission, Business Secretary Vince Cable or from the Office of Fair Trading.[5]

    You never get bored ? You have to eventually .Can't you expend your efforts in a more constructive direction ? The only thing that will change is your perception towards the game. Like my gf tells me everyday, just get over yourself ! but hey women are like that sometimes. wonder why ?  :)    sick world ain't it ? durrrrrrrrrrrr
