People in general over value their hands and expect to win because they had aces or kings or whatever……go grab a copy of “kill everyone” and look at the percentage time aces actually win when all hands are played out, it’s something like 30%…… sure v a random hand heads up ur chance might be 85% but those 15 other times will feel mighty personal if they result in an exit to 45s or 27o……
Imo the early rounds of a tourney are much tougher to navigate now compared to say four or five years ago….. I dunno what stakes you play, if micro it could also be that you are facing a bunch of fun players, 3 of them sat at your table makes life very difficult because someone always gets lucky.
And if you honestly feel the way you do, how can you say @Tikay10 is the only good thing left, considering he fronts and promotes the thing you are getting all worked up over…..that would make him a baddie in my book, lucky for @Tikay10 i read a different book haha
Maybe you just need a wee break from it, playing all tilted only ends one way.
I recently messed up a value hand where I flatted tt in late position C/o. To try and trap UTG but button also flats. My first mistake flop is KT3 spade FD. UTG bets out I flat again. 2nd mistake. Button calls T is Qspades again I flat UTG another mistake. And river brings Offsuit Jack. I don’t have value anymore so I have to fold when button shoves. I messed this hand from start to finish and had to fold. And I have no one to blame but myself.
So good luck with future ventures
All right, let's assume it is rigged. It's rigged for you to lose. My question is: why?
Why does Sky Poker want you to lose and the other person to win? I feel your pain. We all do. Last night I lost with pocket aces all in pre flop against KQ off, and the board flushed me out. Was I annoyed? Absolutely. But to have the audacity to think that your skill and insight into the game is so great that someone is up there in Sky Poker Headquarters ready to push the button when you get too close to the winning line... well, that's just absurd.
Again. Why?
Here is Sky's "Matrix". Suppose it's an MTT. And 100 players pay £10 + £1 to enter.
Sky takes the 100 x £1. That's how they make their money.
Flutter (the Owners of various betting and poker sites, including Sky, Paddy Power, Betfair and Stars) is worth £Billions. Why would they risk losing £Billions, and/or being fined £hundreds of millions, to run a crooked operation?
When they make money legitimately.
Bad players get lucky sometimes. Weaker hands win sometimes. If they did not, no-one would play.
I would say I dont envy his job but then I sure would like to get paid what he does, I dunno what he gets paid but I read he posted he gets paid well and I have never said that about any job I have done.
Its like the circle of live but the circle of poker there will always be those that cry rigged and then others will always take their place.
Cheating in gambling has been around since the dawn of gambling, and there have been cases famous ones of people cheating in poker. So it helps to always be vigilant however, you need to find evidence and despite so many people in the past crying rigged about sky poker like they do for any site I have ever come across, no one has ever gathered any proper evidence.
The amount of times that i have predicted that one of their cards is going to be drawn or that when there's a pocket pair at the table the majority of the time it is not the only pocket pair at the table and i have actually folding a high pocket pair sometimes because of having this knowledge which is sad that it makes me do that.
i have had pocket 3 and i am not a pro poker player but i am better than i was when i first started playing and i know about A and a weak kicker and low pocket pairs for example pocket 3. Amateur's just play an A with any card, low pocket pairs and anything suited or connect. Even pocket 3 is a pocket pair it can be beat by a pair of 4, 5, 6, 7 ect on the turn, flop and river so i folded pocket 3 in one hand and a 3 came on the flop or the turn i can't remember.
With my knowledge i should be winning more games than i am. if you SharkScope me it is terrible.
Then there's full house VS full house and straight vs straight which again i know happens in real life but online it is not random, real life it is just unlucky.
i finished 7th out of 92 players in a Freeroll tournament on 24 November 2024 which is a good result and won £1.04p .
i finished 47th out of 216 players in a Freeroll tournament on 23 November 2024 and even though i didn't win any money i am happy with finishing better than over 150 players.
The majority of the time it is the rig system that gets me. it got me a few times yesterday. Yes i make mistakes and bad decisions but i would win lots of money if the cards were just dealt by a random card generator.
Yes, they do.
I say I get well paid because I'm very much a glass half-full person, & the sun always shines in my life.
I probably DO get well paid for what I do, but it's all about how we perceive our lot in life. I've only had 4 jobs in my life, the first lasted 5 years, the next 13 years, then a 25 year stint until I (very briefly) attempted to retire, then 18 years here, & in my mind - & probably in reality - I believe I was well paid in all of them.
We all get dealt much the same cards in life, we just play them differently. Not digging you out, but you are all doom & gloom, I'm the exact opposite, I wake up smiling, look forward to whatever is in store each day, & go to bed smiling. Rinse repeat.
Also, if you had very little money you would not wake up smiling and go to bed smiling. Life is horrible and boring without money.
Life presents all sorts of challenges, we just have to deal with them. Here in the UK it's about as toasty as it gets - imagine living in, say, Gaza, or Beirut... It's all relative.
and yes i have thought about females who live in the middle east and other parts of the world who have worse things happen to them than what i have had happen to me.
Sky Poker is ultimately owned by Flutter plc who are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
As of November 23, 2024, the market cap of Flutter Entertainment Plc (FLTR) was $37.97 billion
That's billions, not millions.
They are the world's largest Gambling Business, & operate in at least 4 Continents - Europe, North America, South America & Australasia.
Theo own, literally, scores of businesses which in turn have hundreds of products, mainly Sports Betting, National Lotteries, Slots, Bingo, Online Casinos, Poker (including PokerStars) etc.
Of all those hundreds of businesses & subsidiaries, I'd guess - & it is a guess, I admit - that Sky Poker is far & away the smallest.
Do you really think Flutter would risk everything by getting involved in jiggery-pokery in their smallest Business Unit? It's unthinkable.
In the near 18 years Sky Poker has operated, it has dealt ~1.8 billion hands. That's 1.8 billion pieces of evidence. And nobody has ever produced one credible scrap of evidence of any malpractice by the Business. "Aces lost to Jacks" is not, I must tell you, evidence of anything except normality.
So, if you or anyone else has evidence - proper, credible evidence, not "my Aces got beat" - feel free to post accordingly. Until then, my view is that it's very wrong to point the finger of dishonesty at the Business or it's Staff. It would of course mean most of the Staff are corrupt too.
If you think Sky Poker is not kosher, I'm struggling to understand why you play here. There are hundreds of other Online Poker Sites, yet you choose one you think is not legit?
As to those poor folks in the Middle East, I do accept that it affects some males & females disproportionality, but really I'm just thinking of civilians generally, all of them. Over 43,000 civilians have been killed in Gaza in 13 months. That's 14 times more than the number who perished on 9/11.
