Is anyone else as disappointed as me with the number of bad beats on the river on this site. I cannot be the only one. And this is definitey not sour grapes

I have been playing on this site for 15months now, and i must have seen the same complaint every week, i am sure if you went back to the start of sky poker you would here the same thing,
now surly if it was the case that the hands or card were pre ordained and the river card was given to the big stack or the one who need to catch a card, then some thing would have been done, or investigated and the site would be no more, or no one would be playing.
all i can say is except this happens, its not nice but it does happen, just grit your teeth and start again it will level itself out.

however, they need to generate profit, so you give everyone 2 random cards, but they influence the flop to
generate play. say the flop is K 4 2, not great for anyone at first glance, BUT if you then make it Kd 4c 2c
you then have the possibility of top pair, straight draw, and flush draw.
this would at least encourage a bet with 2 callers, that way no matter what the next cards are, the RAKE has been increased. the turn and the river can then be random again,SO without saying who wins or loses, the site has increased the rake and maximised their profit.
ITS THE GENERATION OF PLAY the site can influence, NOT THE OUTCOME.
BAD BEATS will always happen, but its not rigged in the way people think, just that people are encouraged to bet/call/ raise after the flop.
AA/KK pre are dealt as 2 random cards, its still the flop that dictates whether there is any betting/caling.
so the site is not rigged , just the next time you see the flop, the site is influencing your decision,on
whether to play or not.
P.S. not all hands go to the river. Getting people to check down proves nothing because the whole point of poker is that people can catch up but you force them to pay a price to see the river which doesn't warrant the odds they're getting.
My two pennies worth.
i took my self of for months after to many bad beats, and only geting dealt mostly 2n5 3n6 2n4 3n5 all time then not calling then get a pair call get 3 of a kind go all in get beat by a run or flush ....ive come back played 3 tourneys and same again never seem to get decent cards like others!!!!
just keep playing and not worry. Iv played on most sites and get hammered where ever im playing.
its been happening to me for like 6 years now, but i just keep golng, knowing that my luck will change ( hopfully within the next 6 years anyway).
have fun.
