Sky poker is a good site. It is not rigged. People who say it is rigged are stupid. The hand histories are saved for ever. It makes no difference to sky who wins it just deals the hands and takes its rake. If you get a run of bad luck tht what it is, luck. If you run good then fair play to you. There are lots of ways to cheat in real life at poker. Online the only possible way to cheat is by colluding with other players. Sky protect us from that. If anyone is playing suspiciously you can get sky to check their hand history with any other players. Please would people who play for a short period of time stop bad mouthing the site. If you lose your money and you had the best hand each time then that is hard luck. Nothing else. Try again and suck it up. It is so wrong to bad mouth a site like these idiots do. It is people doing this that will get poker sites taken off line. Play with money that you can afford to lose. If someone pulls out on you in your car on the way home from work and you crash your car you dont blame the company who made your car. Don't blame sky for the run of the cards. Posted by fi33er
Jesus Christ - I know it's tilting when you get crucified by the RNG, but that's Poker. Sometimes you just need to God mode to win. If you get tilted, I recommend taking maybe three days break then coming back.
On line poker is not rigged, it’s the same for everyone, if you think it’s rigged Don’t Play it’s **** SIMPLES!!!!!!
These threads are BS - the more skilled you get the less rigged it will become, get skilled the **** up and stop **** moaning, if you spent as much time on learning the game than you do on making **** posts like this you would start to enjoy poker and MAKE MONEY!!!
So I've been having some mad bad luck recently. The two hands I explain here are just the last two but it's been a while of mad hands. I firmly believe any two cards can win, that's a fact. My problem is the way I've been losing. Some people believe in any pockets and go in but having had A K twice in a row same suit. Hit trips the first time and lost to a full house. Fair enough but at the same time I wasn't surprised that happened. The very next hand just was too much. I got nut flush on the flop at this point me and someone with pocket two's were all in. I feared a full house again but of course no full house the river completed quads. Not saying it's rigger but there is definetely a system where they can predict what comes next purely out of historic hands. I'm playing the 1k free roll. While I'm playing in gonna print screen some hands. I expect a lot of 1 card flushes that will kill you on the river...I guess I'm trying to say ranges and other details almost don't matter. P.S. sky poker is killing my love affair with poker lol. Whoever's down for private games let's play. I got the full kit!

I'm intrigued by this bit. What is the system, and who are "they"?
The voices in his head
When I say they, i literally mean seasoned sky poker players....I finished 107th out 600+ last night and I called some hands that I definitely wouldn't purely because on sky these kind of hands win...of course it didn't happen every hand but don'tbe scared to chase one card flushes even if you need runner runner

Poker is many things, but 1 of the things it is involves maths.
AK v A10 is (roughly, depending on whether either suited etc) a 70-30 favourite. Will it always win?-of course not. It will win roughly 70% of the time and lose (roughly) 30% of the time.
To win a tournament you are going to have to be lucky. As an example, if you have 2 AK v A10 all-ins, you will actually go out slightly more often than not (70% x 70% equals 49%).
You may still be in if you have A10 v AK twice. However, the chances drop considerably-(30% x 30% equals a 9% chance).
You will go out in the majority of tournaments even if you play every hand optimally. That is both the beauty and the curse of the game. Sometimes, due to both the money already in and the extra chips if you hit, it is correct to play when you are behind. You shouldn't be "scared" to chase things but you need correct pot odds to do so. That has nothing to do with any "system" other than odds. It is no different to a horse race where a horse is in reality a 5-1 shot but you are getting 10-1.

.. and if you can't deal with that mentally, then forget poker and stick to this card game
In Response to Re: Sky Poker is Rigged!!! : Your so right Tikay,Ive seen some terrible thing around the card rooms over the years.People dealing off the bottom etc, we even caught a player with his hand in the pot one night,and he was a respected player around the local casinos.Makes some people do strange things this game. Posted by blackace23
Does strange things to their minds, too.
Sky Poker have dealt 1,137,145,495 (that's 1.14 billion) hands - so that's 1.14 billion pieces of evidence, 1.14 billion chances to find one single piece of evidence of malpractice. And nobody ever has. Not one.
Try & put that into perspective. If it were 1.14 billion miles, that'd be like London to Cornwall & back. Twice.
Of course, the same nonsense is peddled about every online poker site. Over at 'Stars, they have dealt over 100 billion hands. And they get 100 times more suggestions that something is dodgy. And yet nobody has ever come up with a single shred of credible evidence.
Live poker is immeasurably more likely to involve malpractice, as we all know. I could write a book on the stunts I have seen pulled in Live poker.
Maybe not a book but a few examples would be interesting
