    In Response to Re: Apologies and variance. : They're mainly directed at people who think the site is rigged, however when one of these posts come up you and all the regs just go and mock them instead of convincing them it's legit. Go check every single rigged thread on bbv which you have posted and you'll realise what I'm talking about, it's like you get kicks from people leaving the site. I'm sorry but he's made it harder for himself and all the other regs by being a good sport and creating a guide, I know he's a good player but the times I've been far ahead and he's smashed the flop/turn/river is unreal, so glad to see his sky run good has rubbed off finally.

    You're probably right people could do more to convince people the site isn't rigged but the problem is how can anyone do that?

    You'll probably also find a lot of these regs at some point did try to convince one of these "sky rigged" posters that the site isn't rigged but the poster never wants to listen to reason or anything else for that matter and are generally just spoiling for a fight.  They want to blame the site and nothing else. Right or wrong this is why people mock!

    You on the other hand have come on to mock someone who is apologizing for any offence he may have caused and to say he's on a bad run of results.

    ps this thread shows plenty of people trying to convince the poster he's wrong https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?action=show_static&page=poker_community_forums&plckForumPage=ForumDiscussion&plckDiscussionId=Cat%3a57795ac2-1793-4377-b4cf-e124b0f555f4Forum%3acdf513a4-4811-44dd-b210-c66d9e48e878Discussion%3a9b8a6dec-9803-419d-b142-6c6d2514358b

    This is a forum, am I not allowed to get my point across? Even if I typed it like every other reg does and say something along the lines of... "I'm sorry 'JC' about the run bad news, but tbh you've had your run good for too long now and I'm sorry about that but it's just poker" it will still come across the same way.

    But my way just gets to the point as me and a few others have witnessed his invincibility when it comes to winning flips/4:1's etc and personally I'm glad to see it's finally caught up with him; even if I do come across as a n0b.

    I know there are a lot of poor/recreational players here, and maybe even the regs aren't great, but I don't understand why 'grinders' still play dyms on here.

    The rake is a lot higher than elsewhere, which when you have small edges to begin with, is a killer.

    I'm not sure the poorer standard of opposition compensates for the high rake?

    Everything that's positive about the site, doesn't really apply to dyms imo.

    For mtt/cash players, you can put up with, and overcome the 'lolrake' and the poor software, and to some extent the lack of action.

    But in dyms, I'm not sure u can?

    Rly dnt get why they're so popular here!!!!

    He's played over 30,000 games - that was some heater he was on!!

    I've just tried to scope you to see how many games you've played and there's no record of you EVER having played on skypoker - so how has he outdrawn you so many times? do you use different aliases?

    Hi M, 
    I FEEL FOR YOU! Yours was one of the first guides I read when I joined Sky & as a former team-mate I've always adnired your skill!   However, like Do7H has said I'm really surprised you still play DYM's?   It could be work related?  I've seen you go fairly deep lately in MTT's?  I'm sure U read GaryQ's thread?  He, like you, is going through the mother of all variance atm!  BUT he's not complaining because he knows over time that he is a winning player.  

    GL

    I've said he's a good player, although 5% ROI isn't very impressive... Even after 30k games

    Shall we start again?
    Can we agree to disagree on your wording in your first post?

    Moving on. Genuinely interested in your comment that 5% isn't impressive. I've always been under the impression that 5%+ is classed as impressive at Dyms.
    Similar to you I used to play the Dyms on stars and stopped when they moved to the 50/50s. I think that as well as guides maybe helping people improve their games, with less sites now offering Dyms, decent players have moved to play on Sky.

    I am really curious having also scoped you. You've never played on here. How has the op inflicted bests on you?

    jd was making out 5% is amazing, when it's pretty standard for most regs.

    Maybe the wording was a bit bad yeah, but the way he runs against me and a few other people it's good seeing that everyone is on the same level of variance, as this guy runs like gold

    Pretty sure I made no comment either way on his roi!! Although I'm also pretty sure the amount of players who play dym's who have more than a 5% roi is quite a small group!

    I simply made out that running like gold for 30k games is hard to believe. In fact it just isn't possible.

    Still interested how you've been out drawn by him when you have zero stats on sharkscope?!!

    Why would I make it up? Just because I don't have any sharkscope stats, common sense...

    under what alias did you play him?
  • Jac35Jac35 Member Posts: 6,492

    So you've played against him on Sky.
    Your username doesn't show up on Sharkscope as having played any games.
    You have been perusing the forum for some time but never posted up until today.
    Oddly, you seem quite bitter towards some of the "regs"

    Think I may possibly be able to work out what's going on. Obviously, I wouldn't accuse you of anything as I may well be wrong and there's a perfectly plausible explanation.

    Tbf, with 10% rake, you gotta be winning 55 out of every 100 games just to break even! Having a 5% ROI for DYMs on here, especially over such a massive sample, is very impressive imo.

    Thanks for the kind words/support guys, there are some really fantastic people here. Makes me want to get back involved with the community a bit more having kind of lost touch.

    Just re DYMs in general, I'm pretty much a part-time player these days (if that) and if I can still pick up a few quid at the end of the month I'm pretty happy, that's why I continue with them. I'll also be playing MTTs as I enjoy them too.

    Don't know what to say about rungoodplz, I've obviously put some beats on you one way or another, sorry about that, I haven't got any problems with anybody though.

    Run well everybody :-)

    There's no need to apologise because strictly speaking you haven't put beats on anybody, the poker godettes have.

    Keep well, JC!
