ok i take that back, ive had a look at your stats and your in ok profit for the stakes you play. generally though the complainers are losers at the game.
Waggle I'm very sorry. I had no idea that I was upsetting you so much. You are, of course, absolutehall not bother you again. Posted by Jac35
Fair play, I love how the likes of James Hartigan etc bang on about the 'Friendly forum' and whats so great about sky is the 'community of people willing to help' Absolute BS.
Jac, how arrogant and ignorant your responses are is embarrassing.
The guy is making a general observation, which I for one agree with & as do a lot of other Sky players. I keep playing with Sky because I enjoy playing Poker, as a hobby with spare money each week but the site and RNG absolultely reeks!
Anyway all im saying is the guy makes a post about his opinions on Sky and once again all the Sky regs berate him, mock, take the mick, and the sarcastic answers are so childish - Just a bad community in general.

Your comments might be quite interesting were it not for the fact that you play on a site which you effectivly believe to be rigged. As a result I can only assume that you are a couple of sprouts short of the full Xmas lunch and therefore can safely be ignored. there are other sites you know.....

So, if I can 'safely be ignored' why have you just responded to me?!
I don't recall quoting the words the site is rigged either...

this forum is very friendly to be honest,often a few over heated debates on certian topics but thats life, only people that get a lot of stick are the headcases who claim the rng is dodgy, i actually find people who make these claims about the site to be quite ignorant in a way because they clearly just dont understand the game and are making no effort to try, they just want to slander the site.

I'm pretty new here and everyone has been really great and helpful with me.
I tend to think that people are people wherever you go. If you walked into a member's club and starting mouthing off about how the entire place is corrupt and that it's full of idiots (even if you were completely right)...well, you can't expect a great response can you?
I've only played just over 100 games here so I don't have enough results to say for sure - but I've received good beats and bad beats in that time. Neither has particularly stood out for me. Yesterday I got QQ cracked by AQ but had that balanced by a really lucky river card in another game.
It's possible that a person who gets a lot of bad beats could also be playing badly as well. For example if you play really passively, you can start with the best hand, but you're always giving people a chance to catch up. If you get your opponents to fold more often, you get less bad beats because you're removing variance from the equation.
I notice that the OP hasn't played a huge number of games here yet. Perhaps he has just been unlucky and is currently on the wrong side of variance, and if he played more games it would balance out over time. Or perhaps he is playing badly and would benefit from reviewing his overall strategy. Could be a combination of the two as well.

No rock, your quite friendly and can debate it seems in a mature manner rather than having to call people by their wrong like mis-spelling it and just general sarcasm purely because people are going agasint Sky Poker. Its friendly until someone says something about their beloved Sky, then comes the sarcasm and general poor attitude, where certain people think their better and clever.
I definitely understand the game I just feel disillusioned with the site, it constantly makes me scratch my head and thats when Im getting bad beat or if I am giving them! perhaps questioniong the RNG is off the mark, but now and again its just not right. surely I am entitled to this opinion, I have played on sky every week for over 10 years?
Sky aint been going anywhere near 10 years Mr Davies!
Quality thread though.
There are lots of sites out there that are much more 'fun' for recreational players, I don't know why you would chose sky, especially if you have doubts about way the cards are dealt.
Have a look around and try out some of the others. If you have genuine concerns about the fairness of this site I'm sure you wont look back.

lol, must be close to ten years?! not far off anyway.
Ye agreed Doh, I like Sky because of the software and can play in browser, but I am cooling off for a bit now and guna play with Titan in the new year.
Just keep Sky for sports betting, mind you they are the worst for prices too ;-).
I think another reason why a lot of regs get sick and tired of these the rng is fixed/rigged threads is that on some level it's insulting.
A lot of regulars on the forum have made decent profits/results over long periods which they feel they have worked hard to achieve through time spent on the tables and off the table learning to improve and when someone comes on claiming the site/rng is rigged or not accurate this detracts from this achievement somewhat IMO.
It's like saying your success has not been based on your skill but more down to a dodgy rng. Similar to when a team wins the league/cup but then detractors say it was only because the ref gave a dodgy penalty!

you remind me of a friend i have, allways plays in the games down the pub we have, and plays a little online ( he knows the rules of poker so this means hes a good player in his eyes) , anyway he plays terrible in the pub and i can see why he loses online, all i hear from him though is oh my aces allways get beat online, oh i allways get so unlucky online, its definatly rigged. is there any point in me trying to educate him??? no not really because they dont care enough to want to be educated they just want to look for an excuse as to why things dont go there way. ( not that im an expert or anything but ive won a few bob on here ) , they just think they have a right to win money without putting in any effort in. the same applies to the majority of people in dodgy rng camp!!! thats my last word anyway, hopefully one day you will understand!!!
just wondering if any1 else gets told the same lies from sky poker by the hands it puts out, totally unreal flops and bad calls from fishing players leads to a combination of aahhhhhhhhhhhss and grrrrrrrrrrss etc, and these players are just gambling to my mind, just calling flops and raises with any cards all the time and yes the odd "I fancy that" is ok we all do it but every hand I think not, you know sky has a vegas website for that. Posted by ROTTIE2010
Well if you are fed up with being called by rubbish players just gambling with bad hands maybe you should give Phil Ivey a ring and ask him for a game. In fact i think he's even got a site for it.
In all seriousness though Rottie,don,t you think that part of the issue is that you should be identifying these "fish" and taking advantage of their bad play before they get to outdraw you.
By the way sorry for getting to the party so late but i was swimming around in my usual pond getting caught by the fishermen!
Hearty congratulations to ROTTIE2010. 40+ replies to a "Sky poker is rigged" thread is a magnificent response.
My own opinion, everybody has hands/sessions/days/weeks(months if you're Lambert), where things go against them. It does sting a little, emotionally and financially. But for everybody who's running bad there must be somebody catching cards left, right and centre. The key is to attempt to play your hands optimally as often as possible. Calling 3bets with 8 5 off suit may occasionally win you a big pot but most of the time it will lose you medium ones. Everybody pays their money and takes their choice, let the crazy men gamble if they wanna!! Just please no more poker is rigged threads when they win......
Why is the assumption always that the hand was played poorly???
I have sat on many a table, realized the fish! got a premium and outplayed that fish to get all his chips in against my mosnter! (Well played not poorly played) OHH but hang on here comes the famous sky poker runner runner!
This happens far to much! maybe not for you sky forum regulars but for alot of us it happens over and over and over and over and over!! Sure as regular players we understand that it will happen, however when it happens more often than your hands holding, theres really not much left to blame other than sky

Quality pantomime.
