im new to sky poker but ive played on other sites. It always seems that the chip leader has an unfair advantage when the cards are dealt. they seem to hit more than other players is it just me or is there a bias on the tables, or could it be a bias to a particular seat. Posted by bludreid11
yep i agree with you the chip leaders do seem to hit and bust the shorter stack just had a hand k8 in bb sm b called flop k 8 6 rainbow sb checked i bet the pot sb raised i pushed with top 2 he calls with kq thats ok then hits runner runner for a q high flush happens all the time on sky love some body just to work the odds out on most of my busting hands i think it wrong and something wrong with software maybe gl on here
hi all, this is my 1st post, i would like some advice please, i was playing in a casino on holiday in alicante, last night, saturday, it was a multi table 50 euro freeze out, with a 20 euro bounty. 83 runners 10 seater. starting stack 10,000 chips. i have safely navigated my way to the last hand before the 1st break were the blinds were now 150-300 i have 11,000 chips. my plan to fold my A-7 of clubs and return with a just below average chip stack went pearshaped when utg raised to 1000, folded all the way around to the small blind who made up the call, so to me in the bb. 700 into 2300 3way i will have a look, i am not looking for an ace i want clubs. flop 3 6 9 two clubs. pfr bets 1000 i put him on a lower flush draw or he has missed ? sb folds, i min raise to 2000 hoping A. for a fold or B. a call, then i think i am right ? he jams all in.if i fold now, after the break i would then come back with 20 bigs. decision time ! the rest of my 8000 chips to win 24,000 or fold. I called, he shows a set of 9s. i miss, gutted. going back with over 24k would have set me up nicely but i thought all the way through i was getting the odds. WAS THIS PLAY CORRECT ? i thought just calling his bet would be wrong, as when i missed i might chase a river and be left really crippled.
i look forward to your replies. kind regards terry.
ps i thought about jamming myself instead of re-raising, but i thought it looked too obvious.
also. sorry, i should mention that the pfr was on a stack of 12.500. so he was in my situation really win or out !!
As a complete novice, only playing my first hand of holdem 12 weeks ago, could you explain the concept of the bounty hunter games to me and can you tell me what the phrase "three bet" means. Thank you.

I'd be interested in your feedback on this hand from the 4k turbo last night it was down to the final 2 tables blinds 4k/8k, most stacks were between 45k and 80k though table chip leader was 120k I was in the small blind with 5 5 utg +1 shoved for 51k. Passed round to me I had 67k and decided to pass. My reasoning was that whilst I would have shoved with no other bet I was at best in a race and at worst a 4/1 dog against a higher pair. BB shoved for remainder of his stack. The anaylist on tv gave me a bit of a slagging for folding though I obviously disagreed. As it happens BB had pocket 9s, UTG+1 had Q 10 suited. The flop was 7,6,10 rainbow the turn 3 river q.
I would like to hear peoples opinion of was it the correct fold regardless of result

All I can find is a list of hands that I have been involved in amount of money in the pot and who won it. Could you please tell me where I can get full hand histories please?

Ive found this a lot in sit n gos. Its amazing how many times when the cards flip and you have a hand absolutely mashed and or dominated ie ak vs aj etc and the chip leader will hit and knock you out ive seen it a million times. I wonder whether theres an algarythm written in the programmes to get these tournaments ended so players start a new sit n go hence more registration money for the website. This makes great business sense for all poker running companies

Played a "Family & Friends" game the other day and i had bottom pair but had a good read on the other player....
He raised on the river and i called
I asked him if he had hit the board he said he had hit a pair of tens (higher than my pair)
I mucked my hand and then he showed Ace High
I know usually as i mucked he wins the pot, but does it make a difference that he called the incorrect hand or no difference at all
Many Thanks
reading about people moaning about bad beats Reminds me of me lol
