When you gotta go you gotta go

Played in the 4k tonight...

I've been staying away because I've been useless on Sky for months now. But tonight I thought I'll give it a go. I managed to bluff my way up to a reasonable stack having only hit one flop in the first hour. Then the poker gods decided it was time for me to go. I hit a J flush but pulled out only to see the other guy with a K flush. Tournament saved there then.

Next hand I hit trip 6's and pull out to see trip 6's with a bigger kicker. Tournament saved again there.

Next hand I steal the blinds.

Next hand I hit trip Aces and lost most of my stack to a bigger kicker.

Next hand, I'm short stacked and my AJ meets AK....end of tournament.

As I said when your fated to go you gotta go.

So, no change there then. I will now remove myself to another place for a bit longer.

I'm actually playing quite well elswhere....I even cashed in 15th place in a HiLo Omaha 900 runner tournament this week.....and that's a minor miracle.

    if you mean another site, i wouldnt bother.. its poker mate. regardless of which site you are on its the same game..

    i have been with sky for nearly 3 years now and have tried other sites... i always come back.. sky is the best for me.. when you play for fun like i do, you cannot beat the live channel on 865 + the banter on the forum.. you dont get this from any other site..

    you will be back.. mark my words :)

    see you soon

    I hope to see you soon Alan.

    It appears more and more respected players are leaving the site.

    Razorkev went earlier today and TBH I am having an elongated break from the tables and the forum, but for entirely different reasons.

    This too, will be my last post for a while.

    Hi Al  ..well I dont really know  what  to  say, I know your a good player  and Live even better , I have trouble sometimes with online poker, mainly because i dont concentrate on the game what with, the dog writing on a sports forum and dinner, all going on in the evening..   So maybe play less and be more selective of where  and when you play ?
      
    Glk mate and dont be a stranger here !!.. enjoy xmas and Happy New Year

    Hi Dav,

    My reasons for leaving this site, and in turn, the forums have nothing to do with the cards.

    'but for entirely different reasons.' as I posted originally.

    I have never had an issue with my poker, nor indeed the integrity of the RCG or other players for that matter. They pay their fees, they can play how they want. I am leaving with more than I ever deposited.

    However, there are other private issues I have no wish to discuss here, just to say, it is with much sadness that tonight I have withdrawn my balance.

    Sky poker needs to look after it's own more.

    I just feel my rake is best given elsewhere.

    I just wish everyone, including the new bloggers the best of luck, and hope they get treated better than I have.

    Hi Hale, Naturally we hate to see any players leave the site, but while a break is often a good thing; as in Elsadog's post, I'm concerned to hear that you might have concerns outside of the norm. 

    We pride outselves on going the extra mile for our customers and if you wanted to drop me a PM or an email - des.duffy@bskyb.com, I'd be happy to look into any concerns you might have.

    Regards,

    Des.

    Thanks for your concern Des, However I have messaged Rich yesterday with my problems.

    To date, I have yet to receive the courtesy of a reply. I have no wish to go over old ground again, but you are more than welcome to speak with Rich if you wish to know my grievances.

    I've just played an Omaha mtt for 20 minutes. My best made hand in that time was a pair of 4's. So that's at least 40 hands with 9 cards to make up a hand and all I had was a pair of 4's as a made hand. My final hand I hit the straight only for the river to give the other guy the boat. It doesn't get much better than this.
