Cheat?? but what for??
When i first posted on the forum a couple of years ago i ranted that i thought i had been cheated.
I was roundly ticked off by Tikay and a few others but more importantly was asked why did i think that Sky would cheat against me specifically and was also taught about variance and given advice.
I was very grateful for this good advice and i still don't get mad about so called 'bad beats' or being beaten on the river. As a result i might not be brilliant at poker but i dont ever play on tilt and am very patient waiting for my chances.
When i play a live game i get just as many stuffings on the river and a few bad beats. However there are things that happen more often on here and i can't deny it.
1...The small stack near the end of tournys of any kind gets roasted with 'beyond belief' bad beats imo.
2...The flop goes down instantly but the next 2 cards take an eternity to come down sometimes as if 'selecting' what it wants.
Earlier today i got these hole cards on the trot J4, J4, J3, J6...also not long ago i got four hole pairs in 5 hands.
I think i would be radged if i thought that sky picked on me cos there is no reason but i think the complete randomness of the cards is so severely flawed that it looks like a con sometimes and is not true to live play randomness at all.
