souz***1 wins 7,519 with Pair of Kings   
danc***2 wins 7,519 with Pair of Kings   
***SHOW DOWN***
souz***1 wins 5,175 with Pair of Kings   
danc***2 wins 5,175 with Pair of Kings  
avfcalex finished 55 out of 108 players.

Bearing in mind someone on chat explained how they'd thrown away the king of diamonds, which for the brainy of you out there will add up to PRECISELY ONE OUT.

Now. I don't deserve to win anything with AJ vs AK/AK. However, all I do know is I am the slight favourite to HIT my card. Just that I did. But SKY wasn't having any of it. Oh no.. this guy is short stacked, we can't possibly let him get back into this tournament and have 10k stack now because that means we're losing money because we want him onto another table as quick as possible so we can get more rake out of him! What shall we do.. hmmm

Wait! I've got a fantastic idea! We'll pop out these guys ONE outer on the river! Oh yes, wonderful.. the river, that really ruffles players feathers. Let's do it. Let's forget the legitmacy and legality of online poker, forget our random number carefully designed computer algorithm and then we can make this a split pot and get another player out of this tournament pronto!

Hey listen. Yeah I'm annoyed. Yeah this has been happening to me for months.. years. Yes I am on a REALLY bad run right this second. But seriously.. don't these types of hands make you question how legit online poker really is?

    I think when our level of frustration reaches this point bud the only answer is to take a break, even to stop perhaps.  If a persons mind is made up that online is rigged - or cant be beat for whichever reason - then surely it is time to stop?

    Only thing I will say is that one outers do happen.  Sky's RNG must generate 10,000's perhaps (100,000's) hands a day, so we are going to see this kind of thing.

    I am not justifying your bad experience or rationalising it away, its just a devils advocate statement.

    My level of frustration got so high I quit online.  Partly as I dont fully trust it, but equally I'm just a much better player live.  But have been much happier since.  I think when you get to the point your at it would be wise to selfexclude for awhile.  This goes for a fair few of the frequent flyers in here.

    Most weeks someone wins the lottery.

    That's like hitting 6 consecuative 1 outers. 

    Lottery aint rigged. 

    If you want a constructive comment, your call is questionable facing 2 all ins from much bigger stacks. Can't see the blinds though so it might be ok.

    You will lose this hand most of the time. dw about it. #Standard
