    There's quite a lot I dislike about some poker players in general, but the thing I dislike the most are ignorant, hypocritical poker players. Jimmy, I dont mean to be rude but I've read quite a few threads/posts by you these last few days and you make my head hurt with your ramblings. You have moaned about standard run outs etc. You think the site is a rake generator when the truth is they'll make their rake regardless. You are nothing but negative about the site and players yet still carry on playing those same players on the same site. 

    The icing on the cake for me was your reply about dym (long term winners) fold fold folding then shoving with AA. Maybe if you worked on your game a little and develop a strategy for said games you'll change your tune.

    ps: I'm not an employee of Sky and I dont have a fancy avatar and would say I'm very impartial.

    Come to conclusion - playing too many formats that are heavily luck based causes this problem.

    Today had AA beaten all in by K6, then 1010 beaten all in by 82 offsuit. You can't keep any edge with those.

    Too many all ins, too much luck is the simple truth for keeping an edge. Unfortunately many formats I play lead to all in situations, you can't turn them down can you?

    I don't really understand the bolded part, what games are you playing? Do you fully understand the odds and pot odds of situations?

    Why would you want K6 to fold when you have 99?

    Not really sure why it's difficult to understand my comment?
    Some formats lead to higher effects of luck in Poker.

    More shoves all in, etc?

    I could add an example to demonstrate it:

    The Russian R versions are the ones with the most luck element....and so on..

    I don't play those, but other formats are further or closer to it on here.

    Not especially a bad beat post, or a rigged post, but going round in circles with poker makes me always question the point. You play great get a little ahead, few bad beats back to even. Rinse and repeat over 100 games. Do it all again next 100 games - time is precious. Is Poker as precious? Really fecked off with bothering.

    Feel the same you win a little to lose a little more. can always tell once the cards are dealt if your not on often then you will lose to a player that is on more. the only reason i keep playing is the money i have put in. i enjoy playing but not all the time as i have another life.

    I agree.... please call 999 for me and investigate.

    Just to add a little example:

    Just played 3 sng's in short space of time - went all in each time, ahead for the win in each showdown, lost all 3.

    I know it's a small sample, but these runs make it pointless to try and gain an edge. They wreck the long run average, and that's all that counts in Poker.

    I know some players show an edge, but varience will always give some an edge and the majority none.
