Mr McEnroe’s iconic utterance, became my Sky Poker stock in trade phrase, for the last three months,very bored with it, in a moment of spontaneous genius, came up with my own, ‘intellectual property rights to this phrase’ belong to me, it is available on a hour,day,week,month rental rate!!. Will post the new phrase below, before anyone feels the need, to go all Inspector Cousteau on me, don’t give a monkeys whotsit what ‘sharkscope’ says. Last time I looked, it made me laugh, (genuinely have not looked now) last time, it rated me a 60 rated player (no idea, and means zero to me) average stake £5.45?, be about right, as I only play here, but I do find myself asking if it is time to ‘get my hat and coat’ for the very last time. Why? with my tongue jammed firmly in my check, as far as this old boy knows ? sharkscope not privy to, home game stats! local game stats, that would not be ‘major enough’ to make The Hendon Mob database ? Unless, my one and only and best tournament lifetime cash (Aria) is on their? Played (and love) the game for 35 years. Might know a bit of maths? clerked for a rails bookmaker before I was 20,worked in the industry for ever, back in the Halcyon days, and way back, loved the all night card schools around China Town with all the ‘racing boys, even a few girls. What else, used to settle, piles of ‘junk bets’ manually, no O.T.T allowed,i.e each way equally divided goliath’s, two dead heats, three rule 4’s etc. zero tolerance to 1p out (by the savage that thought he was the boss(briefly !)In the No1 London money shop at the time, security used to collect in shoe boxes, but I digress.

Paragraphs are really useful when doing a large post and may mean that people can read the whole post.

Ha, thanks @mumsie
I am now able to read that.
It's just beyond my ability, my OCD & my attention span to read a whole wall of text without paragraphs. I guess it's a product of the digital age - don't think I've ever seen a text with paragraphs, although of course texts are usually quite short. Same with Skype & Slack messages, they seem to break all the rules we grew up to understand were correct.
Times, & how we write, are changing, but I'm stuck in the past I guess.....

you got to 'smile' keep smiling,and be lucky all.
According to The Universal law of elimination from Bounty Hunters , For every unfair elimination there is an equally unfair survival.
Say a Bounty Hunter ( not a rebuy) has 200 players.
199 of these players will have exit hands.
Sometimes they were favourites.
Sometimes they werent.
Sometimes its a flip.
Hi @misterpj
You keep mentioning - & even correcting - hand numbers, but players cannot access hand numbers unless they were involved in the hand, so it does not tell anyone anything.
Why not try uploading Hand Histories, as per the OP in this thread? (Below). Makes it much easier to visualise the hand.
https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/community/forums#/discussion/174035/unlucky-or-did-i-make-a-mistake
However,two hands,back to back,in the same little tourney,that would be rivered,back to back,as 72% fav,and 80% fav,any intelligent poker player,cannot argue,I did nothing wrong,and everything right, back to back,same torney,hand number 1322536047 and 1322536230,and for playing intelligent poker,rivered,twice in succession.There is only so much,skewed mathamatics,anyone can reasonably be expected to take.
Hi @misterpj
"Hand Number 1323153788"
As I (tried to) explain in my post further up this thread a few days ago, there is no point quoting Hand Numbers - nobody can see them.
You will need to show Hand Histories, as I suggested previously, like this;
