The organisation that provides the rubber stamp for licence has no ongoing involvement in checking the veracity of software performance and furthermore it removes itself, by way of a disclaimer, from any future movement away from their original findings (whatever they may be). This basically means that the software running the RNG is not under any scrutiny whatsoever and its performance was only checked within original parameters (also open to misrepresentation of expected probability) to obtain a licence to operate. Is this beginning to smell fishy?
The solution is a robust body scrutinising and regulating or an independent assessment of software veracity. Chance of it happening- ZERO. Sky want to make money and they are a small fish in a big online pond and cant afford to run honest or the best and most accurate RNG software because they would lose custom. Thats why the large percentage of MTT's are bounty hunters, to encourage gambling and paper over the cracks in their software products.
@sky poker; happy for your proof to any of this being incorrect!!??
I have 1 question
are you referring to the same type of hands like what most others seem to put in the BBV?
if you are then what difference does the pot size make when sky has already got it's money from the entry fee of them MTT.
all them chips do that are in the pot during hands is go to whoever wins that hand sky poker doesn't get anything from it at all their money is from the entry fee simple as that.
if however it is cash tables well then most times you must be simply not holding a chip stack that is 100 BB or your just not charging them big simply make notes on them that they chase runner runner then if you see a heart on the turn and river which created that flush well you will know he could well hold the flush.
The evidence as it stands is largely anecdotal because full evidence cannot be gained but I think its rubbish to suggest that a large amount of complainants are only bitter, or worse, stupid! I witness crazy levels of variance on this site at every table seemingly and in every tournament, and as far as I am concerned its got to be deliberate and a safeguard/promoter that maintains the greatest possible profit for the poker site.
If the person calling your A's and others with 7-2, 10-6, etc, doesnt win enough of the time he's going to leave the site and i seem to suffer those types of beats from players that seem to have no regard for poker probability or statistical analysis whatsover? In the end you cant put it down to running bad when you are losing with consistency with the best hand as well as watching others suffering the same fate.
I for one agree with you udirtyrat.
First hand I was nearly 93% fav, hand 2 I was 81% fav, hand 3 I was 87% fav and last hand 72% (split 5%). Sat night was not a good night for me lol
my point - you couldn't really hope to get your money in on better spots than these but the probability that I win all 4 of these hands is only 47%. It's just variance!
You limping too much DAVEYZZ, playing out of position, not knowing when to fold, will not lay your kings down on a flop wetter than a fishes wet bits ?
There is no need to create "action hands" they happen all by themselves in poker - if it didn't it wouldn't make very good television!!
WRONG !!! Poker room is like small eco system (fishes/sharks thing), Poker rooms dont want money to leave this eco system, so the best way of doing it - make sure that money keep flowing between players (pay pay pay your rake). In other words they don't like if you win too much, because that means, that you will start cashing out . Second thing - if bad player is loosing all the time, he's not gona play and not make any deposits(why, if he can't win ?). So poker rooms try to keep balance - helping bad players to win some money, which they can loose later on a same room . Money flow from player to player makes sure that players will not stop playing and paying rake. Of course if you good and have a good BM - you can still be up after all those bad beats
