Why Do The Gobby Ones Get All The Luck
Have you ever noticed that when someone on your table has a gob the size of the Mersey Tunnel they seem to get a run of cards with so many flop hits, and odd 2 pairs that ir's not funny?
Playing cash last night with a player on the table who send a saint insane. Blabber blabber blabber in the chat box for hours, calling out each player individually and insulting them. This is probably to put the table on tilt.
For the most part i don't try and rise to this sort of stuff but to make matters worse SHE (and i over state that because with the insults coming from this player if she is a woman she's the type with a 5 o'clock shaddow, hands like shovels and an adams apple) has a railer on with her that will not sit and put there money on the table but is parroting every insult form their player and generally winding every body up.
Bad enough to put up with this but the deck just keeps smashing this HE/SHE in the face. 7 2 played to a 4 x bb raise and hits 2 pair. 7 2 suited again played to a raise and called down pot sized bets on a flush draw, 4 6 off played to a 7..... yes thats 7 x bb raise and flops a straight against a massive over pair.... I S**T you not i've never seen luck like it while managing to rile an entire table. In the end i had to come off the table as i'd stacked to an unbelievable flops after a horendous call and knew this was not going to be my night. Unfortunatly the accumulation of chips for this player and HIS/Her Railer seemed to validate their poor treatment of all others at the table and spur them on to more insults. Sometimes this game really rewards the unworthy!
so my advice is this... if you sit at a table where some one is insulting and annoying telling you that COD told her you were this or you were that (i at first thought this was some oddball reference to GOD but turns out it wasn't lol) then leave !!! quickly, even if you play well the deck will smack her and that will make it all the more annoying

2. Turn chat off
3. Reload and take all their money, its only a matter of time
Im sorry to hear about your experience at the tables last night, if you feel that you and other players were insulted or any bad language was used against you then please get in contact with our customer care team either at help@skybet.com or on the instant chat at the side of your screen we will look into this matter for you.
kind regards,

In example: the vilain is in the BB with 4 5 off - im in the cut off with pocket Q's. I make the 7 x bb raise and she calls. flop comes 2 3 6 and she bets the pot. Now she has already done this 4 or 5 times with ace high and she would also do this with a flush draw or just a pair (the 2 3 or 6 not even an over pair).
I can't just raise because no matter how many questions i ask she will keep calling to the river and her luck has run so well that she consistantly pulls off 2 pair.
I want to close the hand here or put her luck to the test and let her call for her stack. My true read here is A 6 because she has called a big raise but doesn't need that much to do it (one high card is generally enough) and then betting the flop heavy makes me think she's connected but doesn't want it calling. Top pair top kicker seems reasonable enough (well not that im calling pre flop with that but it seems to fit her pattern).
The money goes in and low and behold it's a flopped str8 with 4 5 off lol. This is a single example of the way she played ALL NIGHT and seemed to run so good that solid play just could not neutralise the run of cards.
I think, both Flash, and Mod6 are correct, if anyone is being abusive on the tables, they need reporting, as you are probably aware, most of the community here at Sky Poker is absolutley fantastic, it just a minority who think that can spoil it, we need to show them they cant, unfortuantely, I gave had a couple of occasions where it has been necessary to report people.
Good luck on the tables
As a question though, I tried to search this player this morning as i'm planning on going back without the chat box on lol. When i put their name into the find player box it says no player found? now they existed last night but can't be found by the site today? Is there a way to hide from the find player feature or would it mean that the account no longer exists if the site can't find the log on?
I ask because theres was a thought that this player was somebody else multi accounting and that their original account had been banned?
Do They Still Exist or Will I Never Get My Money Back? lol
try it a few times, sometines it doesn't always register
Although, I would never recommend going after this player immediately. If you are not in the right frame of mind and he/she gets a few pots out of you, then this really will put you on tilt.
Just keep an eye out, if you find him, watch his table for a while and join in a position to his/her left so you can easily fold the rags but punish the loose calls.
As I understand it, a player can opt not to be found by "player search", however, I would have thought that if you know which tables they play at you should be able to find those tables and open the lobby to find out if they are there.
I wouldn't mind but for all the insults the last time this player was at a table i was on she stacked off and left after telling the world how bad they were. 1 good run sure does make some people feel like gods lol
It's a LIGHT HEARTED game that's meant to be social and fun. Ok their is money on the line but we were hardly playing £100 - £200 heads up. There are plenty of chat boxes full with sarcasim and good hearted banter or leg pulling on here which is one of the things i enjoy about the site so i'm affraid i'll just have to put up with the rude to enjoy what is normally a great community. I Think I play on just about every Major Site and i think the community sense of Sky is actually it's main selling point. If i wanted to choose a site with decent software, high GTD tourneys, Satalites to Major events there are plenty out there to choose from (and to a certain extent I do) but i return here time and again for the community feel that i just don't thin kcan be found with any other site
Cheers Guys, Comments appreciated and Frustations eased
Also thanks to Cliokid whose comment mysteriously dissapeared lol
Glad to be of help, just in regards to cliokids post, one of our forum house rules is to not to make a post naming any other player as could be deemed as a personal attack so i had to remove that post.
thanks for being understanding,
rich.
