Text from Sky Re UKOPS
Nice of Sky to text me about the UKOPS Starting on Sunday, But unfortunately i will be playing poker on 888 as i win there and don't get sucked out on the river when i have my money in good against a Sky regular. All the time i think yes sucked him in only to get out drawn on the river.
But thats ok, i know i'm not doing much wrong as i have evaluated my recent play on sky compared to 888 and being totally honest the difference is not worth talking about, only i win on 888 and the traffic is by far bigger.
Am i moaning??? I suppose a little moan is justified i think!
I Know when i first started on Sky i was a poor player, but got lucky and had some good cashes, so i feel my reputation is tarnished as players have notes on me, as a weak player, which was true 16months ago, I have tightened up and watch 861 regular to improve my game, and i have improved a lot, although i do feel there is a lot of disrespect towards me and my play still, don't get me wrong i do want these players to make speculative calls and bluffs but it is getting to regular now i get out drawn all of the time, eg. AK mid position i raise 5x after 1 limper ends up seeing a flop 3 way,(wtf) flop was AsKh5c as i had just over a pot bet i jammed only to get called by J7 turn Qh river 10d but this is not just one incident, it happens now on a regular basis.
Ok i only remember the bad beats etc, well that is all i have to remember on Sky because it doesn't seem to be getting any better and the luck element seems far more likely on Sky.
All in all i still like playing on Sky, god knows why even when i can't luck box a win at the mo, i did fancy trying to sat into some of the UKOPS Bounty Hunters but i think i will probably give it a miss, this will be so dissapointing to the players who always out draw me lol, but tuff guys i'm winning on 888 so there i will be for the near future.
I wonder why i got that Text, mmmmm!! easy money you think, well no thanks i'm getting a nice roll on 888 so why blow it on Sky.
Bet this gets moved to area 51 lol, or even deleted as i dared to name another site lmao.
Anyway good luck to all in the Ukops, you may see me but i doubt it.

2) You want people to think you are a bad player.
3) The luck element is more likely on Sky? So does that mean as well as getting really unlucky sometimes, you also get really lucky sometimes too, like we all do?
4) I imagine everyone who has entered their mobile number and not ticked that they don't want marketing jive got it. I know me and my girlfriend both got it abuot an hour or two ago.
If you took the time to read the whole post you may have understood
No matter, you don't matter.
P.s I did take time to read your whole post and I will never get those 30 seconds back again.
The sort of people who make these posts are long term losers, but rather than admit they have glaring weaknesses in their game, they look for any excuse to blame their losses on such as 'the site is rigged'.
So generally they believe they are better than they are, and 'deserve' to win, when frankly the people who win the most long term are the people who spend the most time playing against players that are worse than them.
IMO, and further to what Lambert has said, it appears that some people are too quick to question and blame the RNG/the site for their losses and bad beats rather than question their own game first.
I don't think he meant a loser, in the negative sense, just in the sense of having lost more money than they've won, and that's certainly what I meant.
Also, without knowing someone it's too hard/impossible to ever say if somone is a losing player or not by looking on Sharkscope because alot of good players win lots of cash tables which is not tracked anywhere.
The point is still valid, that a lot of people who moan are losing players who rather than blame their own lack of skill, look for something else to blame. There are still moaners who make profit (I can think of a well known ex-forum reg like this) and no-ones view is invalid.
The problem is, when you're on a losing run, as you will be if you're a losing player, it's easy to have blinkers on and assume loads of hands are coolers, when really you could/should have got away, or cry about all the times when you walk KK into AA, but never keep track of the times you shove TT and get called by 99 etc etc.
Alot of the people on here who moan about losing, will openly admit they are serial depositors who lose and know they need to improve (when they aint moaning about bad luck).
How often do you see the people who consistently win having big rants about bad luck? Or are they just lucky all the time?
Your example will happen every once in a while. If you playing within your BR you should just laugh when it happens and for all your bad beats , and if your getting it in front be pleasesd with the satisfaction that you played it the right way.
Variance are obvouisly against you at the moment and they will change no matter what site you play on. Not sure for how long, but stick to well within your BR and learn to ride them out

"stick up for the sites", yet very far fetched is the actual truths about how these sites actuallt treat thier players , ...They have sponsered players who are molloycoddled or are
on another term have the "face that fits" analogy...like a real nice cosy kind of "family" ..
What was it that they were running in faltham at any rate was this another of skys backhand i mean backend offices??
Tell my why does also JamesLjames fold 5 bet air with nothing in major ukops final main event to ajw1976 and then go on to win tourney .!!?? Im sure If I put in half my stack and then fold I would lose due to my absolute stupidity in trying to bluff someone...
Tell reason why they banned ajw1976 for being a winning player and cashing in all events /games .??
What is the real secret behind running the game at skypoker anyway?? Is the site actually paying out mega jackpots to real players in the bingo section or on the slot machine section or casino games section?.
I think they purposely give the money "hightiered" cash amounts the to players who are either A bankrolled and regular online players like julian im the pro thew and im sponsered but i havent won anything since my last ept ,or they just let the money flow continously but obviously its all monitored......
Key word is monitored.!!! remeber that when they install "iesnare on your computer guys!....
big shout out to harvey and the other boys who are currently banned on sky , gl all...
Btw last time i cashed in the primo, bubbled the highroller ,came 9th in ukops ,won sky spt luton ticket ,cashed several morte big online sky events ...still thier loss i supose when they ban players for nothing and requesting ip address details of thier parents and go behind players backs like that when the player is obvs not under age makes u question what is it they are upto no goood.....still they lose me as a player so sad really ,I put a lot of volume into sky and thats how they reward a decent player like me......so fing sad these people.
