Hi m8, i've been on a loosing streak for about 3 months, and know nothing goes your way, so while still in profit had a bit of time out. But still loged in a watched a few games low stakes, high stakes, bh, anything, and then on fri thought i would try again felt confident and finaly won a few hands, then 2 hours into the torni my internet went down, tilt time again. But at the back of my mind i knew it was turning, so on sat, entered another torni, finnshed 2nd made a mistake hu but hay no ones perfect. Have a break come back when you feel right, confidence is a big thing in poker. Good luck. Posted by tomo_efc
Hey man thanks for your encouragment, i did take a break and came back with a fresh approach and came 19th in that 10k Bh the other day. would of won it but made a mistake and got punished haha. Good luck to you and thanks again.
ok the hand example you posted with the qj leds me to think you are not a proftable player.... In future tournaments calculate you M which is Stack size diveded by (Big bling + small blind) in this exact examply your M is 7.77 whenever your M is below 10 you are in a shove / fold situation when you are at 5 your range needs to widen greatly & at 2 its any two will do time.

If we have the mindset that we are making no mistakes and its down to "these bad players" that we are not winning then its a massive flaw in our game and its an excuse about why we aren't winning! We cannot stop making opponents making bad calls. Now, lets think about that sentence, we DO NOT want to stop them making these calls. We want our opponents to make mistakes. If our opponent gets lucky then that's part of the game, we just need to put in enough volume for the variance to even out. Spend more time working on your game and working on how to get a big stack so that you can lose a flip or two and still be in the tournament and less on how your opponents are playing bad/getting lucky. There are a number of flaws in your logic regarding your exit hand. Posts hands in the clinic and people can help you. Posted by MattBates
Yeah man, you are right in what your are saying. I just needed a break and to ride the storm of bad beats. Thanks for your post
hi new to the forums as never really been much of a chatty person but to put it into perspective i started on sky poker about 3 years ago now and im not much of a depositer and i dont win much either but i try to not let this bother me as that causes tilt but since i started playing poker i have gone round nearly all the ipoker sites microgaming sites pokerstars full tilt you name it if its well known ive played there and put little deposits on every site so i can honestly tell you that im sorry m8 its not skypoker this sort of thing happens on every online site and if given enough time (i think the ratio is 1:4 online hrs:casino hrs) you would see this happen live as well the main fact is that as a poker player you do have to accept these things and just move onto the next hand
when i was just starting i was exactly the same and after 3 years of reading books watching videos and trolling through poker forums online im only about break even which isnt great but once again not that bothered as i love the game eventually it does turn round best of luck in the future
i have to agree with you....i am a good player(not being bigheaded etc).
ive been playing cards/poker for over 30 years...live and internet...
also have had very good results in both except for sky....i win the odd tourny here and there mainly by playing the opposite of what i should lol.....my sharkscope is terrible...my win % flip ( aa v ??) etc is 3/10...
if im all in i will be winning at the time...i understand my flopped nut straight will lose to runna runna flush sometimes which is ok...we all want those callers but its the callers again and again that call with 93os and flop trips etc..........i love playing on sky due to the uk side of it but i have never run so bad in the 4 or 5 years of playing on the site...wsop poker site is the same...i played a tourny on there awhile ago and folded all good hands aa/kk/qq/ak etc etc etc....some of the time i would of won but later in the tourny those hands would of lost big pots against hands that shoulf not even be in it....i won the tourny by playing things like 64,58,73 etc etc etc....its a computer program so it has bugs but i will beat it lol even if it takes another 4/5 years gl on the tables all

Hi Cardu - sorry, but this isnt correct.
The Random Number Generator (RNG) that decides the cards is independently audited and verified. Therefore, to say there are 'bugs' would be incorrect.
All it does is effectively generate cards, randomly.

So in summary you play great but its the different sites fault?

In Response to Re: Bad players rewarded!! : Hi Cardu - sorry, but this isnt correct. The Random Number Generator (RNG) that decides the cards is independently audited and verified.

Also, I get the impression (from what I've picked up from this forum over many years) is people who are unfamiliar with computing, and especially computer programming, think that a poker card shuffling routine is a very sophisticated piece of software requiring immense programming skill and hardware processing power, when it's actually quite simple to code.
i have a point here and its is that yes i have seen certain hands repeat and to add to the conspiracy (Mua ha ha ha) i always wondered if the hands were the same but we were just sitting at different seats to the perspective of the hand being dealt so we receive two different starting cards but the hand is actually the same
have never noticed this on sky poker though it was on 888
just another spanner for the conspiracy theorists in the forum lol
