The laws of probability state that an Ace will not come on the flop 50% over a long enough sample, that is a fact. So if Sky's software is not completely random and does not align with true randomness, then you must be saying it's rigged.
Unless you're just saying that basically, during your DYMs, you 'ran bad' and the A came on the flop 50% of time? If that is what you're saying, then I believe you (although there's always some selective memory in these spots) that this happened but to change your game because of it is a mistake. I can tell you that the other night I got it in preflop in cash with AA v JJ and lost, but that's never gonna stop me getting AA in pre.
i was simply giving my opinion on something that i'd noticed during my recent challenge.
i think that some of the things that i have mentioned have possibly been taken the wrong way,which is a shame.
i only came to this post to offer my opinion on a certain hand that had been played,where that player was asking/seeking some advice,which i gave, and to the best of my ability.
i did not come here looking or seeking an argument with anyone.
if i have offended anyone,then i am sorry,and apologise.
clearly we have a difference of opinion here and that probably won't change.
i think it best if we leave it now and move on.
yours sincerely

ps;no hard feelings,i hope
My thought were if i bet fold here it leaves me with a slightly less than 8 bb stack. Can we not check acept we will be bluffed a cetain % of the time but as we are oop let it go still surviving in the torunament with a larger stack?
especially after my previous post,but i will,
i was simply making my opinion known and that was,again, whenever a player had KK an Ace 'seemed' to flop 'about' 50% of the time.
i am not going to get into any debate concerning the rng as it is clearly a 'taboo' subject here at sky poker.
also,changing my game was not 'a mistake'as you put it,quite the contrary in fact,it was a factor in my winning of a thousand pounds,oh... ok,£500 then lols
that's all Paul

i'll try and answer 1 thing at a time here,
firstly thank you for thanking me.
yes,if we min raise we are in some danger of getting multiple callers.
but you need to weigh up what is the best line to take here.
if, and let's not go there again, lol, you see an Ace on the flop,it doesn't really matter if you are 3 way or more or heads up with just 1 player,you don't like it,and fear the worst.
you were right not to bet then fold as your stack isn't big enough for that.
yes,of course you can check allowing your opponent the opportunity to possibly bluff you, but if you had made some even little bet there,then they could have possibly been your 750 chips.
that is why only betting 100 pre-flop instead of the 300 that you bet,and then betting the turn yourself would be a better line to take,as you would have still only lost the same chips.
yes DYM is all about surviving but you also need to be more aggressive when you decide to play a hand.

It would be like me advising someone to call a shove with 58o because the last 5 times I've done it, I've won. Obviously an extreme example, but past results have zero bearing on what is or is not a +EV move
give up
depends how you play DYM's but 3x is ok imo
if you opening more than lower to 2.2
@Dev - It always feels like when you hold a pair, overcards - like an ace come more often than they do
Just how our brains work ) "Grrrrrrrrrrr always an ace on flop when I have KK !"
Like saying when i HOLD 88 a 9 always hits the flop 50% of the time
because if you feel this way about an ace then you have to think about all the other cards that must also hit the flop 50% of the time
If you beleive this theory then if you run the maths on all the cards hitting the flop 50% of the time, then it's just not possible
stay chilled Dev )
+ it is very possbiel over a smaller enough volume that the Ace will flop 50% of the time )
So Dev could be very corect in his recent findings )
