Best seat on Sky Poker? Top right, obv.

Tikay10

For years, the best Tin Hat post I ever saw was the poor lad who wrote;

The pause before the river card is dealt is because the software is searching for the card to beat me.


Excellent, on so many levels. But yesterday, I was perusing Sky Poker reviews on TrustPilot, which is always good fun, & I spotted this beaut.


There is something happening on this site the people who sit on the top right corner always make a good start then dominate.

Just think about that for a moment. Superb.

If you have two outs on the turn, make the call, you will hit about 75% of the time.

Sky Poker is a site where you need to get to the river

not to mention fact that when I fold bad hands I ALWAYS (no joke - I've been keeping track) I ALWAYS hit.

Slightlyyyyy off topic, but I'd never trust anyone who sits anywhere but the bottom right seat on a Sky table

If you have just suffered a bad beat, go all in on the next hand, you will win around 80% of the time regardless of your cards

Reading that stuff it's easy to forget that the minimum age to play Online Poker is 18.

I know online poker has boomed recently but I didn’t know quite the extent

You’ve now got so many employees that they play every single mtt and win against the poor unsuspecting souls.

Clearly it can’t be Sam who’s coaching them. I’ve seen him play

Poker mirrors life Tikay.

Seeing events unfold around us and overseas, it's easy to forget the minimum age to vote, is also 18.

I agree with this one though ;-)

Our friend has probably not worked out that every player can, in effect, choose to sit top right...

I'll be bemoaning the fact tomorrow that top right is a rubbish seat, it must only work for the good players.
So expect a major rant in the morning 😉

Top left always for me

Now i know where i’m going wrong

Just changed seating position, from bottom right to top right, will run a 100 tourney sample on this, results to follow anything to get out of downswing considered ...

Changing your preferred seating position is a really fishy mentality to have and has no impact on how you run. Everybody knows that changing your table avatar is the only reasonable solution.

Hot o Meter was taken off the site so no-one knew their hand strength.

I knew there was a reason why my pocket kings kept being cracked! Bring back the hot o meter I say! It would warn me in advance to just fold them immediately!

After the last week or so I would agree with most of the early comments. I am obviously sitting in the wrong seat, the best seat is any of the other around my table, the pause before it delivers the fatal bad beat river tilts the **** out of me. I frequently fold then hit, in fact the only time I hit is when I've folded.

I can't prove the 'if you have two outs call and you'll hit', as I don't call and 'if you have just suffered a bad beat go all in the next hand and you'll win 80% of the time', I was going to try that last night when I had just suffered a bad beat and then got dealt AA in the big blind, I couldn't in the end as everyone folded.

Here's hoping the next week will be better.

The only thing thats worse is sitting in the death seat thats lost every bounty that sat there
