    Congratulations you've posted 5 times om here in different threads and managed to be boring and boorish in each post. Do me a favour and if you cant be either funny, informative or original stick to just one thread so I can avoid your inane drivel.

    Thanks

    Well of course they do. Only a complete imbecile would fold before the river knowing they had a 90% chance of hitting on the river, as you say.

    Great thread this!

    Since I read it I have adjusted my play and started calling when I know I must be behind and the river comes to my rescue. This time next year @broonies we'll be millionaires.

    I'd have kept the 90% thing to myself, but now it's 'out there' ... fill ya boots :)

    Strange how us run of the mill players notice these things happening time and time again ! Yet the Sky employees will never accept it ! Time to move to 888 Poker and see what they come up with ............

    Rivers are sound on 888
    You never lose on there if you’re ahead on the turn

    That's probably a wise move. Once you lose trust in the integrity of an Online Gaming site, it's probably better to move on to fresh pastures. 888 don't have a Forum though, so you'll not be able to go on it & suggest their site is somehow improper, &, by extension, their Staff are corrupt.

    The river site would be a bit of a shot name for a poker site?

    a few hand examples proof nothing variances happen. unfortunately Sky poker do not allow you to save over 500 hands and do not allow the use of trackers which means obtaining a sample large enough to show statistically significant variance from expected results would be impossible.

    What I can say though is I have made several grand from this site.
    Whilst my strategies are not perfect and do have flaws i need to work on improving, I still have been a consistent winner. none of my strategies or game plans have been based on believing in some form of rig or flawed algorithm it has just been based on standard poker theory and noticing a few weakness in my oppenants and been able to recognise when they spot weakness in me and how to adapt to their play backs and playback against their playbacks.

    sure there have been times where i run bad and I have wondered about a rig or wondered if I would ever win again but I fought on through these periods and showed results long term.

    you just have to work on the flaws in your game and once you become a winning player volume will counter the bad luck periods.
