    There is nothing wrong with asking questions but also there is nothing wrong with saying when those questions are stupid. 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.

    Fair enough Jonjo but as said i reckon they are 75 percent of the time not all the time and if i could post the whole hand history for a 330 timed game i would as this is what i play.sadly opening up every hand and posting it takes a lot of time.And inevitably people would acuse me of only selecting hands with a 3 in them.As said in my post i now look for them all the time i will see if i can post the hands just as a bit of eveidence ok.

    i am not saying you are lying snorky when you say you lost after withdrawing.........just that you didnt lose because you withdrew....


    why would any site make you lose just because you withdraw £20....?

    am getting dizzy...

    or deja vuey....

    cicular....

    been here before...lots.

    Jonjo makes valid point.

    From what I understand bigal beats the game overall?

    Agree that if we are playing with little confidence then perhaps we oughntnt to be playing

    hands that YOU play and participate in

    it doesn't matter if you are playing in a local casino with 4 tables running, Sky witth 500 table running or a larger site with 5000 tables running.

    variance doesn't know this and treats you equally.

    if you google online poker RnG etc etc you WILL find these kind of complaints about EVERY single poker site.  I was once at a live game, and some guy said to me yeah well I used to play on ABC poker and it was SOOO RIGGED....now I play on XYZ poker and its def a fair site.  Not realising that the sites he was talking about ran on the same network, used the same software, ran the same tournaments etc etc.  

    also when you get an idea like this in your head you start seeing these 'patterns' everywhere because you are looking for them.  much like the guy who said after he withdraws he then gets dealt containing a 3 in them.  

    you then start to talk about your ideas with 'like minded' people and come to this part of the forum...so therefore oh SOOO many people agree with me it must be true.  Well I dunno how many active posters there are on Area 51...20/30/50 maybe?  But I do know that in the last 3 months there were 60 THOUSAND uniquie active players on Sky Poker.  

    these kind of ideas and theories and thoughs are rare in online poker.  sometimes people say things like F I X in the chat box but thats in the heat of the moment and they don't believe it...otherwise they wouldn't continue to play.

    sorry if I appear like I'm attacking you personally, I'm not.  I find these strong held views quite insulting actually.  i have made my living from poker during the last couple of years.  I grinded it out on things like 5.50 MTTs and some DYMs and low stakes cash levels.  

    And there are DOZENS of people on Sky Poker who have a similar story to mine, and these kind of views/conspiracy theories just make it look like there isn't skill involved and that people like me/Sam1986/Runnitsrann/Jakally/TommyD/Offshoot/Pryce6/Launder/Nutter5932/DanTB10/Browndog (and the list could go on and on) are just lucky and have run golden accounts.

    Theres more to life than poker tho and if you really do honestly believe these things then it might be best for you to take a step back for a while.  It's not healthy to get so worked up/stressed out over a game.

    i actually take offence at the fact that you can not read my whole post..  where i stated i have nothing against sky, any player or in anyway say it is rigged.. 


    i asked a question and got the usual suspects ..    in the way of variance..  as you state hand you are involved in.  then i can not wait to run good.. 

    good luck at the tables ryan and run good

    Bigal please explain ? You say you have not said it is rigged but too many hands get beaten on the river than they should . Surely this is saying it is rigged .
    You have nothing against SKY but you are writing on an open forum and on the tables that good hands are getting beaten more than they should.
    I have personally been on a table with you when i think someone had KK against 88 and the 8 came on the river and you said "Typical SKY" . This is saying SKY planned to put the 8 on the river.
    You can not have it both ways saying "I like SKY "and "I am not saying it is rigged "and then come out with the comments you do. 
     
     I have read your opening post entirely and it is not about varience , it is acusing SKY of making losing hands win on the river more than would be normal.

    Now I don't know what to do please help.Won last night and boosted my BR by 40 quid and would like to withdraw this to take my kids on an all expenses paid trip to KFC. However i know if i withdraw the 40 quid i will then be dealt threes in every hand untill next wednesday.(AS PROOF just played the 330 timed got dealt 33 and got knocked out) Now i haven't even withdrawn the cash yet ..just the thought of doing so has caused threes to appear and my playing style to completely change.

    Any sugguestions? How do i withdraw my funds without setting of the unlucky trigger??

    Withdraw the money, deposit on a new site, take advantage of the "new player run good", get your win, and move to the next site, and so on.

    There's loads of sites, if you keep investing wisely and remain disciplined the possibilities are endless.

    Congratz on ur win btw :)

    The biggest worry in that post is the fact that you let your kids eat at KFC.

    Withdraw the money,take your kids to KFC and close your account.
    Because if you can't afford to take your kids for something to eat
    without winning at poker you shouldn't really be wasting what money
    you do have playing poker in the first place.
                                                    Hope this helps:)

    I think your making Huge assumptions about how much i like my kids and how much i like poker. If i get a heads up that social services are on their way i will just cover them in cooking oil, put them out in the sun for a while and say i adopted them from Somalia.They look quite healthy that way ha ha.

    Or more honestly they bleed me dry, dress and eat better than I do and have prevented me in the last six years form ever playing more than micro stakes. But hey you don't have kids to become rich and my sharkscope sais i am holding my own.

    Snorky.(top bits a joke BTW have nothing against somalis No doubt someone will take offence) :)

    The site is not rigged.  I play a lot on pokerstars, today was my first day back after about a 5 yr break from sky poker, I hate the software! It's not been improved in this time, neither has the players.

    Pokerstars has a lot more donks due to the traffic, but with poker online, you play more hands than you do live. If you played that many hands live you would see the same effect, but you don't so until someone canprove online poker is rigged I fail to grasp that idea & concept and will continue to try battle the donks and get ahead.

    Oasisno1 on stars, come for a game and see the difference!
