      There is a thing to remember about bad beats, firstly it is not the site because they have nothing to gain one way or the other. Bad beats happen for one of 3 reasons

    1) Bad luck-  KK beating AA for example
    2) Bad play by us- slow playing or giving odds for opponent to hit miracle cards
    3) Bad play by our opponent

       In the case of 1 there is nothing that can be done about it , it just happens.
       In the case of 2 we should re examine our own game to see if there are leaks in it.
       In the case of 3 we should encourage this more often because these are overall losing plays and we want them.Short term they can hurt but in the long run we will beat the players who make these bad calls.

      I must admit that i myself have suffered many a bad beat and have also dished some out as well. I could easily list the ones i have received but probably could not list any that i have dished out such is the nature of the human psyche.

      To receive a bad beat you must get your money in ahead and if you keep doing that you will be a winning player.

    Blaming bad beats on sky and it being fixed is just something bad players hide behind. More often than not the person who says its rigged is a losing player, maybe we should encourage them and then just take all their money without a bad beat, see what they say to that!!

    Watching WSOP on sky couple of nights ago, heads up chip leader pocket aces 2nd place with K 10 off, flop hits king pushes all in, hits two pair on river, aces cracked.

    It happens yes it frustrating but it happens.


    The area 51 part of this post as it was shown on sky was it fixed????????????????

    I'm pretty sure that I saw Tikay fiddling with the RNG in the background.
