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.

hi, im new to this site (few weeks) and I deposited some cash and got my bankroll upto 600 pound, I then withdrew 300 and I was amazed on how many times I was getting beat and I had the remaining cash that I left on here just wiped away from players hitting there rivers, also I went through long stage not hitting anything,,, talk about the game changing, it changed that much I could taste it, let alone notice it. my dad told me its because im a new player and these sites always seem to give you a good win to get you hooked, I don't know how true that is. I also played the 10k bh tourney and was really looking forward to it, I got k 10 suited and flopped a 10 only to be beat by a flush on river then the next hand I get was ak clubs, I went all in on the button and someone called me with pocket queens and hit there quads, and that's another thing ive noticed on here, just how many players hit quads, just so unreal its beyond belief..i think someone ought to test the rng on this site properly because it just isn't poker, its just a piece of software to thieve off players and give a selective few the priority on this site. I know this may sound to you that im whining but I really do have a reason to.

Not at all!!
I see from sharkscope you've played 18 games since your first game on Jan 2nd 2014 but I can't see your winnings of £600, did you tear up the cash tables in the last 6 days to get your roll to £600?
But I totally agree with Harry shut the place down....just in case!
ps welcome to the site... and I suppose goodbye as well seeing as shutdown is imminent!

I did get my roll upto 649 pound to be precise, I did it in one night from depositing 30 pound.
and regarding sharkscope, the stats on those sites cannot be right because I too cannot see where I won 649 from a 30 pound deposit unless the site is behind.

did you win or finish very highly in a big tournament to get it up to that?
Enut complains of losing with quads twice in the ME amongst other things but his big cash soothed the anomalies; another complains that quads come out all too often (i myself once witnessed quads 5x in 7 hands and double quads in two of those-i stopped playing for a while because my calculator exploded when trying to work out the odds), those constant river beats and all too perfectly and regularly aligned flops for those left in the betting, the terrifying frequency of A's and K's (like the cyber dealer has a blackjack shoe with 6 decks to deal with) not to mention them facing off so often, the lucky if you're 60% with the best hand brigade cant fathom why they also get sucked out to a 1 or 2 outer, I used to watch the poker channel but stopped after 2 consecutive hands showed up a royal flush (my mind just melted when the two presenters looked like the Queen had just walked into the studio naked)!
I used to think online poker was an easy way to replicate the buzz I and friends used to get before the advent of home computers 20+ years ago but it didn't and has become a constant source of irritation and perplexing nonsense with regard to outcomes, variance and probability. Some sites have been linked to extortion and fraud, others money laundering and collusion and few if any can claim to be free of issues that reduce the game to a point of disrepute that requires constant damage limitation. Some sites, particularly the biggest, actually invest in their product without gimmicks 'first' to try and get the poker delivered as accurately as possible but not SKY. SKY is bothered about the take, the appearance and then somewhere down the line worries about whether anyone will actually debunk the myth that the RNG is completely random. ITS ABOUT AS RANDOM AS THE SUN RISING TOMORROW IN THE EAST but how will that make a difference to the gamblers, the movers and the shakers?
Well one day it might because those that are either smug or stupid that constantly back up a systematically failing product wont have the luxury of easy pickings and those that provide it might get their fingers burnt in the not too distant future. Poker has always been a hotbed for corrupt activity and their is nothing more corrupt in gaming than online gambling where sharks lay in wait for the novice, the gambler or the feckless. Thats the way it is and online just provides a slack product to promote that and SKY are only too happy to profit from any enterprise no matter how crooked. You only have to look at the ongoing trials of SKY journalists and the Murdochs evidence into out poltical enquiries to understand the depths of the barrel of s hit they lke to swim in.
Nothing lasts forever and the resident experts and sharks (not forgotten the stupid) will eventually run out of sarcastic abuse and move or be moved on! Its the law of probability- too many quads just aren't sustainable.

Nemesis doesn't have to defend himself, bless him. He's just clearly been caught in Sky Poker's devious trap of rewarding new players with big pots and wins, then cruelly taking it away once he has his feet under the table.

Its not unreasonable to voice a concern over the performance of the RNG - Numerous players have come to the conclusion that its not quite as random as others would have you believe. The Forum regulars will of course disagree adding a little light humour in any reply - which is of course very entertaining.
With regard to new players running well and then the site 'turns against them' could it be that when they are new no one has any reads on them. Give good players a few days or even hours and they may well have them sussed out, hence their 'win' rate soon disappears. Just a thought.

Somer ALL of your posts are about the rng being suspect, why do you continue to play on sky then?
Of course it's not unreasonable to question the rng but when a player with a 4 day old account questions it and only AFTER they lose some money it doesn't give their query much weight.
Strange that players don't question the rng after winning and only when they go on a bad run!

“Somer ALL of your posts are about the rng being suspect, why do you continue to play on sky then?”
I play on Sky because (for me) it offers very good value for money entertainment - regardless, of my views on the RNG. Inexpensive tournaments with a relatively low number of players can result in 2/3 hours of play for just a couple of pounds - and at times a small profit.
When playing online each player has certain objectives - mine is to be entertained (any profit is a bonus) Sky fulfils that objective.

Still makes no sense!! there are loads of sites that offer low buy in tournaments but you choose the one you think has dodgy software!
If I suspected Tesco of selling out of date fish, and I really fancied a nice piece of cod for dinner, then I'd go elsewhere for my fishy fix. Just saying. Posted by hhyftrftdr
