    How did u lose? And was it in cash or tournaments? Because sadly when you play a lot on site beats do happen as its part of the game.Reload and start again fresher and have fun as its only a game if your playing small stakes.

    yep didnt think i did say i was a sky poker reg.... simple answer to your question google that will give you all the answers you are looking for and before you say it i am not being sarcastic you search up most fishiest poker sites and what not and you get a list of sites and vice versa.... but also if you are playing M/S eg 2p/4p you have to expect the bingo aspect as some of them are simply just learning or like the fact that they can play every hand and the max they will lose is £4

    If you're losing money on this site it's because you're a losing player (most players are) and has nothing to do with the site.

    If you want to stop being a losing player you have to work hard on your game. The best way to do this is to review strategy/hands (the clinic is a great place to do this), read other forums/articles and watch poker videos with commentary/analysis. There's plenty of stuff out there. Google and Youtube are your friends.

    All of this takes time and effort and is not easy. Like anything in life you might not succeed. You get out what you put in and you can never stop trying to improve your game (even if you're winning) otherwise you will get left behind.

    This is a genuine answer. It may not be what you want to hear (most players don't) but there it is.

    Best of luck at the tables.

     I do understand where you are coming from but I am not a stupid plyr, I play big hands strongly and do not bluff too often, i have always followed sky poker on tv and listened in on how u shoul play in certain situations, however, my problem lies with how often people hit one and two outers even before the river, it just seems that what ever you bet people call knowing they have a miniscule chance but with sky it does not seem miniscule?

    Yeah, poker's not easy and it's not fair either.

    So if you can't take those beats (and they can be horrendous I know), it's not the game for you.

    Btw, a losing player isn't necessarily a stupid player. In fact, a lot of losing players are very experienced, competent and understand many aspects of the game. They may (and often do) consider themselves 'good' players. This is their biggest mistake. They blame luck and/or whatever site they play on when they get outdrawn/lose.

    If you really want to succeed, you have to be totally focused and commited to improving every aspect of your game. (Even when you win).

    You say you play your big hands strongly and don't bluff too often. Are you possibly playing too tight? Or too rigid? Are you playing your big hands too strong and not listening to what your opponent is telling you or not controlling the size of the pot? (I have no idea - these are just example questions as a starting base for self-analysis).

    Winning consistently at poker has nothing to do with which hands you are dealt but rather when and how you use them. Sometimes you have to fold a full house and sometimes you have to call with king high, it all depends on the situation. The best players know when to throw away their aces and when to call with 7-2. The more you learn about and analyse the game, the easier these decisions become.

    I'm probably starting to ramble now so I'll stop. Hope this has helped in some way and best of luck.

    this site is an hit and hope site and always on the river always without fail

    no way does it compair with live   reasons


    1 online gets one riffle shuffle then dealt one after the other cos online dont feel the need for burnt cards


    2 live poker the cards are shuffled by the players unless there is a dealer dealt tourney.wether they circle shuffle in the middle of the table or in there hands, then at my local casino whoever the dealer is once shuffled by the player to the left is passed back to the dealer then the player to the right has choice wether to cut or not then the dealer deals two cards each then a betting round once betting gets round to dealer one cards gets put face down then three cards face up for flop then another betting round to dealer then one face down one face up for turn card then betting round to dealer then face down one face up for riverthen final betting round
    so hence the not need for burnt online does make a differance 

    so online poker is more like a bingo type game not the full biscuit

    I agree this theory is a bit weak but the randomness of the RNG is certainly debatable

    Got to say this doesnt really seem to make much sense to me bud.  Yeah a card is burned on each street - came about to deal with the issue of marked cards and mis demeaner shuffle/deals.

    I dont see what it really changes?

    right at the start of every tourney the cards should all be in order do u agree ?

    how long would u shuffle the cards in a live game ? ( if it wasnt dealer dealt )

    as for the burnt cards there is three cards taken out of the pack on every hand of streets


    simples really come on

    1. The reason cards are burnt live is to ensure a fair deal, which isn't necessary online as it's not a human shuffling the deck.

    2. A RNG can randomise a deck of cards to a greater extent than a human shuffle.

    Yes but its not hard to do a compehensive shuffle.  The burn cards are totally arbitrary, being equal to one another and cards undealt, remaining unknown and undeductable from known odds within any hand.
