    The guy in the 2nd hand obviously liked "two jack off"....... suit

     Yeh i speak to a mate on MSN who plays on here, he has lost his last 7 DYM games, and he has been all in ahead in 6 of them... My advice was take a break or play through it, depends on how much its affecting you, but personally i take a break

    Been having exactly the same problem on DYM's 2,3 outers, runner-runner flushes, Str8's. Worst one I had KK raised, got reraised all in guy has 99, before I raise I say here comes the outdraw and rightly so the 9 hits flop. I almost expect it these days.

    Also this will be moved to Area 51 shortly I feel.

    Theres an old saying in poker, "If you dont like what your getting , then change what your doing" ??

    maybe it means change your style,   glk

    I've played on Sky for over 2 years and in that time I've seen the play on the site improve, but in the last week or so the play has really gone down hill, some of the calls that I've seen have amazed me. I have also noticed that the amount of new players on sky has gone up in the last couple of weeks so maybe this is why.

    Good Luck At The Tables

    The Bounty Hunter style that Sky promoted so readily is well and truly inherent in a great deal of the players now - they have to go all in as they have not been educated in how to fold and find better spots.  Its gonna get better too as the best suggestion for something the site to promote is a 1 chip game and all in or fold!!! And we wonder why the deepstack quality tournies have dwindling numbers.............

    I have seen a lot of this recently, I firmly believe that the standard of play on Sky has degenerated and I wonder if it is due to the increased BH tournaments and 1 minute roulettes.

    I do find the standard of play in the Orfordable deep stack is top notch and no silly re-raises with rubbish, I second the advice to take a break but maybe play the Orfordable tomorrow and let your poker skills do the talking without too much worry of silly play.

    I think Scotty was being sarcastic.
    Dont think he actually meant real offence.
