too many rivers
i am posting this in here before it gets moved by some mod.
I have noticed over the few days i have been back on sky that there are too many rivers that give the win for the chasing person/behind on turn...
i would list them, but as i play a few tables or tournys at the same time i dont want to take 8 hours to list them..
Now, this is where you get the regular people who say, show me, or but you will win in the long run..
I simply ask the question of others, do they think that there are too many wins from behind..
too many massive hands are getting beaten by rubbish. yesterday alone i had KK AA and QQ beaten on river 6 times after people had chased.. good 80-20 hands. now if i was winning the 80% i would not mind.. if i was winning the 80% i would be winning alot more cash..
this is where they say. show us/post ur hand history..
No one likse to lose(can everyone agree with that)..
But when you constantly lose with the better hand at certain points of a tournament, it seems like trends are happening.
is it me, am i the only one who sees these trends, am i the only one who can see when you go all-in pre flop, they turn their cards over, you know you are going to lose no matter what you have.
i am not bitter towards sky or any player on sky..
i play other sites more now, but that is not the point...
i have got use to the miracle 1 or 2 outers on the river, i take it now, i still think they are miracles, but that is my thinking...
now alot will come on and say, but you will win in the long run, you have not played enough hands. really? i have not seen this to be true, i have been involved in enough hands to see the leading hand does not hold as it should.
i am not saying in anyway that it is rigged. i am just stating my opinion that hands do not hold as they should and too many river cards change the outcome once the chips go in..
note. i must be a losing player as i am moaning.

You basically answer all your own questions so I am tempted to close the thread

Maybe you are just super unlucky?
ohh shock at the usual (be polite) people taking the mick ..
all about as predictable as the sky river...
enough said
reply to dohhhhh.. i play the team game...#
Worst hand wins in live poker as well, Fri night at Alea Leeds I won the tourney when my JT beat QT all in pre, Sat night I exited in level 2 when my AA was beaten by Q8 and Sun night I got it in good with A9 v KQ and he spiked K on turn.
Oh, i'm also a winning player on all sites i play on
The VERY first port of call when you're getting sucked out on and think you're getting your fair share of bad beats is your own play. You can do things better, whoever you are.
Read Rich Orford's blog, answers all the points in OP
IT'S FIXED
these 2 hands i played i knew the str8 was coming as soon as i saw the turn.. these hands were 2 out of 3 played in sequence. so i played 1 then folded then played the next.. i am amazed at the bull sh...
then another miracle..
i can stand the occasional beat.. but these are soo common.. i even saw set vs set and fh vs fh
my hh is from one game, i played 3 games and saw over 20 beats ... a bit of a joke when you consider there was only 1100 playing at the time.. not 50,000
Why are you still playing here if you really believe all this stuff you write?
P.S At least you are moaning in the right place on this thread rather than the tables.
I have a more obvious one that sky might make time to adjust in their software and that is why am i dealt a 3 in my hole cards sometimes as much as 75 percent of the time after i have just banked a small amount of cash??Why after i have just banked say twenty quid do i fail to hit any thing,and get dealt 10 3,7 3,9 3, k 3, 4,3 etc and i am garunteed to be donating my cash to other players untill the status quo is restored.Do i after banking 20 quid suddenly play different,do i losen up or become a nit,do i suddenly think 10 3 is a monster just because it is suited???Ans no i do not but here is the crux of the matter I do NOT win after banking money..My small win streak NEVER continues and yes i will openly admit i find that just a little bit fishy.
I have played sky poker for six years and i have noticed a few things,firstly action hands are far more common now than they were back then,Two outers are now met with SIGHS rather than table talk of OMG how lucky was that, and going in 95 percent ahead in three hands still does not garuntee you will win any of the hands.
If i have learnt anything in six years playing with sky it is this..No matter how far your are ahead if you have quads or even better never ever, ever, EVER, let someone see the sky river cheaply.The only one card that they can possibly win with is only 36/1 and its coming to a town near you a lot sooner than you think.
My view is sky is rigged but it's rigged against all of us, so in a way it's not rigged against any of us.
Never take it too seriously and do not play with money that you cannot afford to lose leave that to the PRO's.
GL at the tables and may your sets be met with straights, and your straights be met with flushes...mine of course.
That's what its got to do with the numbers playing on Sky.!! They need a new Washing Machine.?
As for getting dealt 3's all the time in my hole cards its just what i have noticed.This happens to ME no-one said it happens to anyone else and as for talking nonsense(not you Daveyzz) don't be so arrogant to assume you know anymore than anyone else. Just because you did not see someone win 7 times on the trot when going in behind does not mean that someone else did not some tables are unbeleivable at times.
I love the people who beleive just because they say its fine that somehow makes it fine.Saying something doesn't make it true, in the sameway telling me i am talking nonsense about getting 3's in my hole cards.Are you here are you looking at my screen are you somehow telepathic or have hacked sky's RNG, no so how do you know i am talking nonsense, you have so much less information than i have as the cards are actually on my screen.
I would love to say i keep getting an ace in my hole cards but i don't it's 3's and i conciously look for them now and at times i find it unbeleivable.
But thats just me...As i said i play cos i do not lose a great deal and it's entertaining and its value for money.
Still fail to understand why anyone who questions online poker is declared to be talking nonsense by people who's opinions seem somewhat more important than anyone elses.
I see what i see, i don't lie, i have no need to...who benefits not me, not you.It's a forum where people voice opinions.Mine is worth only as much as the next persons then again i realise this because i would rather embrace falability and accept i get things wrong as do others.
Heres one to ponder if most agree playing online roulette is a mugs game and well dodgy(seems to be agreed by lots of people) why does the algorytm used to determin random cards on poker have to be absolutely pure and beyond reproach.
If it was? why is it cloaked in so much mystery, so hard to get any information on, and quite frankly let down by other sites that have been proved to be somewhat suspect.
The only dumb thing is not to ask any questions at all and always assume you know more than everyone else.Now that would be dumb.
I play here, if i am unhappy i will stop playing, and no doubt come back when my unhappiness wears of.
Tis the way it is.
The reason we find it nonsense when you say you are dealt 3s all the time is because it is nonsensical. I am sure when you get something into your brain like that, then you are looking out for the 3 and take note of it but you do not take a mental note of all the other hands you are getting.
If you really do believe you get dealt 3 more than usuall then there is an easy way to check. Look in hand history and take note of how many hands over a certain period ( as long as possible) you were dealt a three compared to how many hands dealt.
Please if you can then provide us with the results and prove to us it is true i will give you my apologies.
