Discuss.

Can of worms open, even the Mayor turned out. Smashing!

There is a specific answer I am lookind for, the first to say it wins a tin of spam (to be held forever in my custody and no visiting rights).

    Firstly that is incorrect.

    Secondly it is not even a logical answer

    Thirdly I doubt you even know what a box is, let alone are capable of thinking outside of one. (Thats a hint)

    Not funny, and most definitely not clever.

    Close thread please mods.

    Sky Poker has a solid focus on recreational players rather than grinding internet wizzes generating more rake than you can shake a stick at.  Now as in general, but not as a rule, recreational players are playing as a hobby, for fun & enjoyment and as such may make a certain percentage more incorrect decisions than in some other pro-centric places.  As such while the percentage chances and results of long odds will remain constant, the pure number of long odd shots coming in will be higher.  This is not down to software or anything sinister, just if the 80/20s happen more then in a pure count the 20% shot will be recorded more, as will the 80% shot.

    Hope that explains it.

    Cliffs for above.

    No.

    Not going to close this yet but people better stop any rudeness immediately.  The finger is hovering over the button.

    It's 6 handed which means you see more hands in less time so there's a perception that you see more beats.

    Added to this the player base is very much recreational based so you see a higher percentage of players perhaps who are prepared to chase very thin draws so naturally you see some of these getting there.

    Simples innit!

    Simples when you are spoon fed.

    You clearly did not consider this theory before, hence your "Yawn post"
