hey sky poker crew,i challenge anyone to prove that the cards on here are as real as playin live..the last 3 weeks ive recorded my hands by phone with interest as unusual things seemed to be happening to me with great hands,and guess what?it has just kept happening.Multiple times ive been aggressive with top pairs ie-AA..KK..JJ..been called at least 20 times with 63 suited or rubbish suited cards like that and have been done 95 percent of time..FACT...this just dusnt happen..odds prove that..if no one bleves odds prove that then deal them hands deliberately at home and see for yaself how many times 63 or similar suited wins,i can assure u it wont be as many times as it is on here..even the amount of online players is well down on here in my eyes...i wonder why...happy bingo ....any similar feelings pleez respond..i work hard for my money and at least bexpect a fair game of poker...hope u all feel the same...lata

you post a bad beat and i will post a hand where someone calls with rubbish and misses.there are thousands of hands played every hour with every combo so someone is going to get unlucky alot of the time...
hands.
there is a great article in the latest pkr free mag all about luck....
The gist of it is you are either lucky or unlucky and either way it wont balance out until you have played long enough for the odds to kick in.
I have been lucky for 3 years but at the moment cant hit a barn door and elsadog has said he had a great year in 2005 (i think) and now he is getting back on the good side of varience and storming the mtt's
I would say its because he is a great player and great players always come good in the end(but im not sure he agrees with this theory).
gl,dave...
ps if you are spinning $100 up to 2k easily elsewhere i know where i would be playing :0
others calling all in with A2 when 2 others are all in for 2k only to hit raggy A on river yet again and again..
if there is one thing to learn, u know that an A is coming somewhere, i think there seem to be atleast 24 aces in the sky decks since when ever they need an A to win it always comes especially when it is raggy A againt top hands KK QQ JJ and they call with A2 or other BS raggy A
Dave re that thread in where you asked for evidence of my AA beats. Bigal was involved in one of them I believe
i have gone in with good hands and been beaten by lesser and absolute rubbish. i can appriciate getting beaten by the better hands, but when you lose constantly with the better hands it can be annoying.. i will hold my hands up and say nice hand when they show a good pair, but when they call BIG raises with rubbish and chase it down the street fishing for one card and hitting it on the river, that i dislike.. As i dont fish often for cards(cos they never seem to come even 15 to go at) i will never get the equalling effect this has...
as for the bad callers who always seem to hit. u know that runner runner wins r coming as soon as u see their cards after flop, or u get done on river.. 1 of only 2 cards to come..
it is the rng that decides who is going to win, what hand will win. not which person will win...
the hand is predtermined, not who gets it and not how is comes out, it is if you play that winning hand..
3 hands from last night
1st hand in tourny i have q/10 raise pre then flop the straight bet flop then push on turn guy who won got runner runner fh.
next a sit and go.....5 mins in i push full stack 5k with aj bb calls with j4
flop is 4 8 4 goodbye me!(i did rip into him tbf)
last s@g all in with qq v 99 9 on turn.
3 beats 3 games and all live.
your right it happens a lot but hand for hand i believe it is he same live.
You were posting on another thread about how monitoring hands for a few weeks assured you everything was fine. Which is it?
in this case i was talking about luck and how if you are lucky/unlucky the odds are it will not "even out" over a small sample of hands.
the thread you are refering to was how i percieved the amount of times a "top" hand held up over a couple of months playing(5 hours a night 6 nights a week)
So in that instance you had a few weeks of data and you felt it backed up the RNG. Yet to dispel somones argument you claim to need 500,000 hands of data for luck to even out. Hmmmmmmmmm
I said the hands seemed to be holding up the % of times that they should after a few weeks of charting them.
that is not backing up the rng and also has nothing to do with varience/luck.
my point on luck was that you may be an lucky player and win lots of games early on in you poker life but you will then not get unlucky for years because to even itself out you have to play thousands of hands....
Therefore the original statement is not a double negative ( despite it's appearance ) because the constituents of the statement are noncontradictory.
my argument was that luck and probability are different, so one last attempt...........you can be a lucky player and hit one outers etc for months/years and it will never turn around unless you play for years and years and the odds have a chance to even out.
