"This is why I'm tired of this site. Every time the dominated hand hits".

The mind plays tricks on us. It's not EVERY time, is it? Sometimes it just feels that way though.

"Tired of this site". Do you think that these things only happen on Sky Poker? "Tired of poker" probably describes it better.

As long as you play poker, & wherever you play poker (Online or Live) these things will ALWAYS happen.

Tourney number one of the night...flopped set over set. Apparently this happens around once every 12.6k hands.

Of course it will always happen Tony. Variance, right?

Turns out over the last week it's not every time a dominated hand has sucked out. I've won 42% of those spots, where going into them I've had about 70% equity.

Would love to get hold of a bigger sample size, to see the extent to which it's my mind playing tricks. Is it possible to get my hand hsitory from say the last year?

Second tourney of the night...get it in with 88% equity and one card to come.

Sure, 12% of the time he'll spike. Doesnt feel like 12% of the time though.

First hand in my first tourney of the night. Maybe I could've ripped it in pre with 10bb. But recent experience suggests if I do I run into QJ off who spikes a Q on the turn or river. Or by someone calling with J6 and amking trips by the river. Tonight, to mix things up, I get looked up by the BB who wants to defend against an UTG raise, out of position with 83. 8 fcuking 3. And the unlikeliest of flops soon sees my 86% equity pre soon vanish to being a 27% dog.

This week...winning just 37% of the spots where I get it in with 70% equity. Finding myself the wrong side of a 1 in 12,000 hand set over set cooler. Losing the spots I find myself in with +85% equity pre. Running bad? Doesnt even begin to cover it...

Jac35 · April 26

It could be rigged against you.
Or you could be very poor at poker.

Probs one of the two.

bongo69 · April 28

Yeah, maybe.

I got it in 8 times in a week in dominating spots with 70% equity. And won 3 of them. I got it in with 88% equity and he spiked a 12% river. I got it in with a set to be up against a better set (a one in 12,000 hand spot). Last tiourney of the night tonight this...

...another 20% suck out.

Aside from one highly improbable spot where I was miles behind, I'm getting it in miles ahead and losing the maority of those spots.

But would love to get some coaching from you about how you'd have played these spots differently.

So many hands in this thread are butchered by hero and villain.

Like WTF is this?

This player constantly plays anything, like anything should be illegal for SKY to accept it's money. Clearly not well

@radzer02 , try and work a little on your own game and improve by 1% day to day. this might work wonders

This will not help others games, but when u see what u can improve, u will welcome their mistakes long term.

Tikay10 · May 18

Only in poker do we see players complain about opponents who play badly.

bongo69 · May 20

Only in poker do players who play badly win so often.
