Yes we go way back and as much as his opinion is welcome it is slightly comprimised in a discussion such as this due to his status as a member of TSP so really is on a hiding to nothing
one true statement in his post was that yes at 7.77 he was an incredible fish.
Just a quick post.
I spend almost all of my time looking for the type of player who you say this site benefits ( eg: those who put their cash in with the worst hands and seem to hit one outers etc ) and believe me it dosnt benefit them long term.
Although it does happens alot of the time it also dosnt happen more of the time and for the last 4 years i have made a good living by following such players. I am in profit over £5k in this month alone and most of it is from following such players on stakes from £20nl up to £300nl and although i have had times where the outdraws seem to be impossible the fact remains that in the long run if you get your money in when the odds are in your favour you will win in the end.
I dont think that the outdraws here are any worse than anywhere else ive played but thats only my opinion.
Good luck
as i have stated there will be plenty of people who disagree with my thread posts,but as I and a few others have said that 4 years ago this place was a goldmine so the question i ask you and everyone else is whats happened in the last 4 years for it not to be so today? have the players got better? In my opionion from the calls/raises/and shoves im seeing they have got worse so why is it taking me 3 or 4 weeks to make what i used to make weekly? Maybe my game has got worse i hope not but its possible. maybe ive broken a mirror and got 7 years bad luck or Maybe Just Maybe the enhancement of hands has increased to reward stupendously ridiculous plays. I think we all know which theory I subscribe to.
I agree with you whole heartedly in the long run a good player wins far more than the donk but the question is how long do you want this run to last for me personally I'd like the run to be close to the true odds of each individual hand and i dont think im getting anywhere near that and that is all im asking for not only for myself but for everyone.
I hope you contine to make money and enjoy your poker and long may it continue.
thanks again and if you get as much enjoyment out of playing here as i have over the years.
thanks mate.
im sorry you and people like Dohhhh feel im sitting here shouting rubbish your answer is simple get someone of importance from the sky software team to post how wrong i am It really is that simple. I will gladly shut up and leave everyone to their own devices should this be the case.
I believe in what ive said because i heard it with my own ears and feel the fellow posters to this thread feel some semblance of truth to my claims if not wholly convinced.
i wish you all the luck and enjoyment with your poker.
My only comment is that his view should be respected - by all.
ps. I'm glad to see that so far his view has been questioned with the respect it deserves.
i agree with you that there is no real difference in the number of players, both on the site, and making "speculative" calls, but the increase in the 1 and 2 outers makes this seem so!
i enjoy playing here, all i ask is a realistic chance, a return to the old sky!
good luck to you elsewhere mate

However This paticualar thread and moreover the last two comments on it have annoyed me to such a degree I feel I must comment.
I've re read every post over and over and at NO point does this player claim the site is fixed in anyones favour other than the operators through a rinse and retain policy.
Sky poker and all subsidary companies are businesses and as such are out to make as much money as possible.
If you read a posts on Eyemans FOOLs IF you think online poker is rigged blog kimble doesnt seem to be saying anything different than some of the posts there. The ones that i find very striking in refernce to this thread is Stien and donemidosh's post on eyemans blog.
From the way I've interpreted this thread so far is he's saying things need looking at, no more no less.
Maybe his claims are unsubstantiated but I beleive hes challenged anyone in the know to deny them.
If it were my business and someone was making these claim and NAMING employees I would want to refute it even if only to aleviate the fears of my current custom.
There appear to be many people who at least partially accept this mans opinion Rightly or Wrongly.
I feel the last 2 posts have been based on rantings of previous sky poker is fixed ranters and not on the basis of this players
excellent points.
Nowhere does he say hes blaming anyone for his mistakes,the point he raises is that hes not making mistakes.
Above all I believe he has acted with dignity throughout and doesnt deserve to be treated with the derision some other posters with theories have been and in some cases rightly so.
Wether hes right or wrong after reading the way he has stated his case I believe this site will be poorer for the loss of someone who clearly loves the game and behaved with grace in the face of doubters and appears to be doing this for the benefit of others.
Best of Luck to you Kimble. If what you say is correct you will need it.
Kimble has acted in the best possible way and although i dont agree with his views i definatley dont think anyone should be speaking to him in anyway other than the way he has spoken to us.
His views are his views and even if i dont subscribe to his way of thinking it dosnt mean that somewhere down the line that he might be proved right and i and the majority of posters on here are the ones who are wrong.
I wish him all the luck in the world and even though i dont go along with his way of thinking i think he should be applauded for his attempts to bring something he feels isnt right into the public view.
Best of luck Kimble.

I agree with your points but still think he deserves respect. Even if he is bitter (and in all honesty i dont think its that what brought kimble here ) etc etc, it is still clear to see that he is a polite person and is only asking for answers so should be treated the same way he has treated us. He seems a very polite and genuine guy who obviously believes in the points he is raising here and just because i and some others dont agree i dont see that as a reason to be nasty thats all.
Its nice to be nice my friend.
Best of luck.
Best of luck. Jenny.x.
I'm shocked by your attitude Black mass. Have enjoyed your posts in the past and the banter.
But you have clearly misinterpreted something, your posts are hugely out of line: not excusing it in any case. I cant see where its come from
I deeply resent the notion that I'm a liar,as far as I can see no one so far other than Black Mass has labelled me as such.
I am many things but I'm no liar and find it staggering and quite frankly down right insulting. I have backed my FACTS with names and given all the information I can. How anyone can call me a liar when no one other than myself and OSCAR privvy to a conversation is totally ridiculous and isnt worthy of further comment.
Scotty is someone I have believed in and backed from PRIVATE conversations since the early days or maybe i imagined it anyway im sure black mass has hacked my phone and will tell you what was said or at least a made up version of events like he has so far.
I will never slate Scotty as his love for this game and site and more importantly for all of YOU means hes a man after my own heart and i wont turn on my own.
Yes I phoned sky ranting that day as ive said at that time this game was my living and if i didnt win we didnt pay rent or eat so after a bad run which in all probabilty was in that instance caused by word of the week Variance.
I wanted out but after that conversation with and I'll say his name again OSCAR it was clear that all i would be swapping is one enhanced site for another so i stayed. So yes I blew my top that day i was under pressure and wanted someone to blame.
For those of you who have treated me with respect and kindness and i dont just mean on this thread,I mean since i first sat at 2p/4p/all the way up to £1/£2 i thankyou from the bottom of my heart,and for those of you I have shared banter with and at times made me cry with laughter those memorys will stay longer than any memory of a bad beat.
Marcus I hope your health is well and you continue to play and conduct yourself in the manner you do as your a credit to the site.
elsadog thanks for the pm and i appreciate the effort mate.
Just so you know and to clear up any confusion I stopped playing for a living not because I couldnt adapt or take the beats because believe you me in a pure game I will sit and stack anyone you sit opposite of me. I stopped playing for a living because i was diagnosed with a terminal illness in sept 2007 and the hours i spent playing this game and the money i won meant my time was spent better doing other things and that and that reason alone is the ONLY reason I stopped.
I dont have time to waste playing a game that Barely resembles the game I love and i certainly dont have time to waste justifying the truth to people like DOHHH and MASS so ill leave you all to it.
Goodbye,Goodluck and Thankyou.
