    I feel your pain, Today has been "unbelievable" in the words of Chris Kamara.  This is just one example where all the tactics and good play just count for nothing and its really hard to take.  Now I don't blame the villian at all, I would make the call here but this was the second time today my QQ was done by TT hitting 10 on the turn.  (I'm not gonna go through all the hand histories to prove my point but please take my word for it).

    I even flopped a set of 10's in an earlier MTT (unknown to me the villian here flopped a set of 9's) the chips went all in only for him to hit quads on the turn.  Again the villian made a play that anyone would - so no grudges there.

    All the respected players on the site will tell you to keep playing the same way and you'll soon be back on track but the talk on the site about it being "typical sky poker" seems to stick when the one in a million card hits, and hits, and hits....

    I will use whatever is left in the account and will be taking a break from sky poker.  whether that improves my luck or not remains to be seen, but it will hopefully show me that these bad beats happen everywhere.  Maybe just less so....

    do these players really think that this is the only site that has a lot of bad beats after being on several sites before sky eg pokerstars ,fulltilt and pacific it all averages out the same its the nature of the game at least with sky and its great community  you can get to know the players and learn from the better ones also the banter between players is far more interesting than the american sites.
