Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!

Confused.Poker.com

This is the only Forum to get constructive answers. I Think?? Anyway here goes, I am really having a bad time one sky cannot qualify in a sat. my sit n go game seems to have gone to pot, Cash Well!! wont play it not while im loosing. I know everyone goes through this and its part of the poker Package, but wait!! Explain this. Ive won 6 $5 sit n go's running, made three MTT 360+ Runners, final Tables in 4 Days 3rd, 6th, 9th amounting to $450, and Qualified via three sats in 4 days to a $10,000 main event tomorrow. Obviously its on another site, But i like sky, why do i keep comming back??

On Sharkscope my ROI on sky is not good, yet on PKR, 888, & Titan im in profit, yet my ability rating on Sky is Higher than All of them.

I always said to myself i prefer 6 max yet stats seem to say otherwise. I have looked at my game and Hands, and yes! i have made mistakes, risky calls etc. But the real question is why is there such a variance between different sites.????????????????? and why is may game so bad on SKY.

    Maybe you are playing the wrong hands at key moments fella,

    8 5 suited UTG +1 will inevitebly give you straight/ st flush/ flush or set.

    A risky call is when you go all in with AA KK following a raise from oppo with 9 2os pre, who calls you everytime, you`ll be dead on the turn.

    Try and play your hands a bit more carefully and you`ll be ok!!!!

    Gl, hope this helps.

    I dont think thats what he's asking bud.

    Formats aside, its a pretty reasonable question.  Why would you suffer a higher degree of variance from one site to the other.  In principle you shouldnt.

    Devils advocate hat on though:  Variance isnt isolated.  We can statistically suffer the majority of our variance in different sites, based solely on its nature.  It doesnt have to be evenly spread from one site to another.  An argument could be made that you run well on alternates DUE to you suffering the bulk of your negative variance in one site, thus experiencing more neutral and positive variance elswhere by definition.

    Thats just devils advocate though.  I dont really know as I tend to play on one site exclusively, other than branded  guarentees.

    Another factor can be bet sizing bars and timebanks.  Example being that on numerous sites we can bet in radically different auto amounts than we can on sky.  These things will naturally effect the flow of the game in terms of draws and out.  when 3x becomes 2.2x as standard its cheaper to draw or improve based on deflated pot size.

    As said devils advoate :p.  But realisticaly speaking our variance should be spread evenly over most of the player spectrum

    Thanks, but why would i be playing wrong hands at the wrong time only on 1 site, i think my play is pretty std, and 85 utg+1 is a fold to me everytime unless massive chip leader, even then it depends on table and players.
    But why such Variance between sites.???

    could be the other sites the players are worse and this site the standard compared to the othersites is just different or better. my stats on stars isnt great on scope but i continualy go deep in the big tornys and cash but never the big amounts. I play smaller stakes on other sites also and a lot more sats. Dosnt mean im worse or better on a perticular site just depends on what tornys your buying into and how many runners. You might wiin 6 stt in a row but you can do that on here and you can also not do that on there depends how lucky you are. Luck or bad luck dosnt look at each other and think well your doing good on that site so im not gonna let you do well on another odds are its just the varience, quality of players and number of runners that determine things not the site its self.

    also scope will put down sats as a loss so if you play a lot make the main events by getting through and lose your stats will show you as losing the main event not the sat. So stats on sharkscope can be decieving.

    Thanks, Maybe your right. Anyway will stay away from sky i think for a few weeks, may as well play were im running good.

    assuming the RNG for the different sites are similar, it has got to be the different type of players on the different sites hasn't it?
    not sure as I don't play on any other yet, but my brother has done for a while and has remarked that the way the players play is different.
