    Interesting discussion about 'apologising' after giving out a bad beating. Just had a situation in a game on another site where I called an all in preflop with a fair amount behind with AJ, turned out I was against Kings - Flop came spade spade spade, we both had one but unfortunately for me it was my jack. Ace of another suit came on the turn putting me ahead, river was a spade and he got a double up. Then the guy types sorry into the chat box!

    As I said to him - You were ahead when the money went in! What order the cards come out in doesn't make any difference

So again, i look forward to being part of the forum and taking your chips at the earliest opportunity :)

    Great Table that, eh? I got a little lucky that night.

    Cotmanhay, a nice place to live? Err, yes. That's "nice" in inverted commas, I guess.....

    I'm still "next door" in Ilkeston, (Shipley, if I wanna sound posh), having escaped from London 30 years ago. Oddly, I now spend 5 or more nights a week in London. Full circle & all that.

    In Response to Re: NEW POSTERS:
    Hi acesover8s if i get very lucky in a hand i do apologise to the other player. Sure, I am glad I won the hand and wouldnt want to change the outcome, so strictly speaking I am not sorry, but I dont think typing "sorry" is hypocritical. I think most players on here understand that when someone says sorry after dishing out a bad beat, they are really saying "unlucky, i was way behind and got lucky" but the word sorry is a pretty economic way of doing so. I dont think the use of the word sorry should be taken quite so literally. Ray

    Hi Buisty

    as per my response to margate below i don't really mind when people say sorry, the dealer at the blackpool g casino did when he told me to give the money back though lol
    Lol say sorry for being a luck box if you like Margate, i just wanted an excuse to use the phrases "if your that sorry give the money back" and "you pays your money you takes your chance", so few opportunities present themselves where i can slip these corkers into everyday conversation :)

    In Response to Re: NEW POSTERS : i know where you are coming from but as long as we are offering a poker service some will say how we are rigged, fixed etc. all we can do is shuffle them over to area 51.

    As a new player at Sky Poker, I have in the main found the forums and other players friendly and helpful. 

    In the forum, there has been some really good chat and as a newbie to the site, a lot of good advice from more experienced players. For that I thank you.

    I do tend to use the chat function during games, but found very little chat going on. When that is the case, I tend to switch away from it and start tralling through other sites or the forum.   If I get lucky I say so. Will sigh or lol if the situation warrants it, but have found that very few people respond.  When you split a pot because you are both sitting with a starting hand of QQ, as was the case recently in a tournament, it was a delight for a positive response to my lol.

    It was really pleasing to see my "friend" reach the final table and I was hoping that it would be the two of us to play off. It wasn't. My point is it made the experience of playing more fun, friendly and an enjoyable experience.

    Please talk more in games.

    hi aces

    thanks for your reply. i hadnt heard that response you got from the dealer at the casino and it is kind of funny.  like you say, he probably says it every night! 

    Its probably worth remembering that there are enough poor comments made by players in the chat box at times, that a sorry is a nice change.

    BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION I AGREE THAT POST SHOULD BE ANSWERED CURTIOUSLY, THINK THE THREAD YOU ARE REFERING TO MAYBE THE SKY POKER IS FIXED ONE (NOW IN AREA 51) BY TUCKER.
    I MUST ADMIT MY ANSWERS MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SARCASTIC BUT IF YOU WANT TO START A DISCUSSION BY SAYING THIS SITE IS FIXED OFFERING UP SOME RANDOM FIGURE TO BACK IT UP, YOU SHOULD EXPECT A LITTLE SCEPTACISM IN REPLYS.
    I ENJOY READING PEOPLE OPINION ON HOW HANDS WERE PLAYED AS THERE ARE ALWAY SO MANY OPINIONS BUT IF YOUR GOING TO COME ON AND RANT LIKE A PR*T YOU DESERVE TO HAVE THAT FACT YOU ARE A PR*T POINTED OUT TO YOU

    I am also a player who will say sorry in the chatbox if I give someone a bad beat.
    I am happy to win the pot but I do feel sorry for the player who went in miles ahaed and then got beat.

    I also agree with the original post about new members of the forum.
    Posts do go off the first page and the person asking the question obviously want an answer.

    WASNT TRYING TO BE ABUSIVE IVE POSTED OPINIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE POINTED OUT TO ME ARE STUPID AND IVE GONE AWAY THOUGH ABOUT IT AND REALISED THEY WERE STUPID, MY POINT WAS THAT YOU CANT SUGAR COAT EVERY ANSWER JUST TO KEEP PEOPLE HAPPY.

    Hi badboy

    I think we all make comments at times that we later regret or realise are ill-judged, or "stupid", and like you say, you have done so yourself.  But that doesnt make you stupid, and the same should apply to others.  You do not need to sugar coat replies, but disagree in a civil and respectful manner, and the other person is more likely to consider your point of view.

    On the whole I agree with you T.  Unfortunately YOU always wait until Im trying to play a hand to decide to talk to me!  lol

    I spend so much time trying to type a reply in a reasonable form of text that I usually miss what is happening!

    The other problem I have with typing the comments is there are always pauses and such as the game is progressing the hand and it keeps causing typos - the letters can't keep up with my typing.  It ends up reading as gibberish.  (No change to normal though)

    the thing is Apollo, when you recieve a bad beat the last thing you want to hear is sorry. It would be much better to say unlucky and get on with the game. Personnally i'm never sorry when that happens as its part and parcel of the game.
    I've just had 2 bad beats, but hey ho thats poker, next game please.
