And Jac 35 for his general thread and his Paul "the spot" Jackson comment in particular.

Just don't mention the frog. Well noone else did. They are very tasty though.

And don't panic Harry, we don't seem to be friends :-(

wynne1938 - for his persistance on the DYM Challenge

IrishRose · September 2014

From the Aussie09 thread - hope it's ok just to repost it?

I'd like to thank Aussie09 for all his posts re the possible jackpot aswell. It's always fun to see if there's any names of possibles that you'd like to rail and encourage. He puts a lot of time into it and doesn't deserve any flack for it. That reminds me - think I'll go nominate him for TOTP if you can nominate for threads rather than individual posts?

aussie for his jackpot thread

Murkleman · September 2014

Hello. I am a professional poker player both offline and online. I play the vast majority of my poker on 'pokerstars' and have made more than 2 million pounds in my life earnings from playing low and high stakes poker. Recently, I deposited money into a skybet account to bet on a few football games. After winning a couple of easy bets, I saw the ad for 'sky poker', so I went to play on it. What I have experienced is an absolute disgrace. Within 3 hands, I had a 'J9' offsuit, and flopped a straight. I betted a small amount and then was raised by a suspicious looking player with many chips, who would always call no matter what. (Of course, all players look suspicious on this site as sky poker fills everyones' profile pictures up with a default icon... this is to hide the fact that this site has extremely low traffic; meaning that there are very few players on it. So anyway, after I was raised, I went all in with my straight: and the guy calls (surprise surprise)... with a K6 offsuit. The guy went all in with top pair?? That's fair enough as he might of thought I was bluffing. But then..... on the turn comes a king. He now has 3 of a kind, but I'm still winning as I have a straight. So, what comes on the river? ANOTHER KING. The last king in the deck has came out to give him four of a kind. This is so so so unlikely. Especially as I have just sat down at the table. Then, a couple hands later, I have a pair of queens. There is only one player left to call so I move 'all-in'. The player then calls with a K4 offsuit. Long story short he gets a pair of kings on the river. These two amazingly unlikely hands are possible in poker, but amazingly was within 5 minutes of me sitting at the table, and about 3 hands after each other. I lost 5 pound, which is nothing, but I was so amazed by this that I stayed at the table to watch the 'bot' player. I spent the rest of the night watching people play. None of the gameplay looked natural, people were not taking the normal time needed for decisions etc. He was calling after the flop with weak hands like '96 offsuit' and making 3 of a kind on the turn AND the river. Also, Honestly, I'm not a bad loser because I only lost 5 pound lol I'm a millionaire, but all I'm saying is DO NOT TRUST A SITE WITH HARDLY ANY PLAYERS. ESPECIALLY THIS ONE. Ever wondered why nobody ever talks on your table? They're not real players. I have also played on many many poker sites and have never felt like this before (888poker, partypoker, full tilt etc)... feels like I'm playing a computer. It just feels like sky poker are trying to recover the money I won on skybet from betting on sports. Also, I think most of the corrupt play is after the flop, the turn and the river seem to be so unlikely that it is mathematically improbable, and that is baring in mind that more hands are played online than offline. Believe me I know what I'm talking about. If you want to play poker then play elsewhere. This site does not randomly generate cards like they should. FACT.

Most of which is redundant? You think I'm making this up? I've made over 2 million playing poker so why would I lie.

Slipwater · September 2014

It is redundant because the vast majority of your post - once you get beyond the weeds of your prose - is incorrect and skewed by small samples and an extremely poor understanding of what constitutes the term unlikely.

If u have made 2mil why are u complaining about bad beats.

I would be lying on a beach somwhere not worrying about poker, very hard to believe.

Murkleman · September 2014

What a fool. You must work for sky poker. Why are you sitting here saying I have a poor understanding? 2 million pound mate. That's my understanding of poker. You say I have a poor understanding but dont supply evidence. I dont understand the term unlikely?.......... making trips on the river- UNLIKELY, making quads on the river- UNLIKELY. making trips on the turn after calling with a pair of 9s- UNLIKELY. I'm not saying theyre really unlikely, but the ODDS ARE AGAINST THESE HANDS. If you dont agree that these hands are at all unlikely then you are bias for sky poker. Anybody else reading this knows what I'm saying.

Also, if you dont think its rigged, why are you replying to all of my posts and not playing?? Hmm. Odd.

Very hard to believe? HAHA? Really? Many poker players around the world go insane about corrupt play or bad beats because of their passion for the game. Like me. You're saying it's 'very hard to believe'? lol. wow. Are you serious?

1) I do not work for Sky.
2) You do have a poor understanding of terminology (and certainly of language).
3) Making trips on the turn is not unlikely.
4) I am not playing because I'm watching a movie.

As a profesional poker player with 2 million in earnings, would you care to tell me your real name, or would you prefer to stay hidden behind your alias.

You got him to split his diatribe into two paragraphs.

Thats one paragraph for each million (in pounds) richer he is than you or I.

We can see who is winning this battle...
