What WOULD they say if this happened on Sky Poker?

Tikay10

This happened yesterday at Brighton in a £500 Tournament.

I played for 9 hours, so, being Live, would have seen maybe 250 hands. In that time I also saw Quads four times, 2 straight flushes, & house over house 4 times. 

And not ONE player threw a hissy fit, complained, moaned, threw a strop, said they were never coming back, "enough is enough", or said "bye".

If it had happened on here then the server would've crashed due to the conspircy theorists saying that sky had robbed them! lol such a cooler.

Lol would happen when Rich gets back, so we all know whos fault it is

NoseyBonk

That's a James Bond hand for sure!

It must be a fix. The pocket A's held up, Doesn't happen here.
The toys would be flying out off the pram in every dirrection.
Saw Quads twice in one sit n go the other day.
Any two cards can win in this wonderful game.

Yeah that couldnt possibly be a Sky hand, because the river would be a 6 :-) ... ha ha only messing

My prediction below :-)

Part 1 players would all start separate threads on the genral forum moaning about being rigged.

Part 2 the sky forum mods would then transfer over to area 51.

Part 3 the players would then be giving each other a virtual *high 5* stating they knew the site was rigged.

Part 4 us experienced players who use proper bankroll managment and understand variance will post that to them.

Live poker is rigged i tells ya

Seriously though, that's colder than the arctic circle on a cold winter's day. As Austin Powers would say, "that's very ouch baby"

Nice hand. Flopped set over set over set is just one of those things that happen every once in a while.  I'm off to a cash game, good luck and hope to play with you guys again.  It was a pleasure.

Lol, I didn't see the aces in the top left corner until the third time I looked at it and was wondering what the fuss was all about.

Pretty sick.

It coudn't have happened on Sky tho cos I'm assuming u were playing 10 handed and that just doesn't happen on here

I've never believed that there is anything funny going on, but people DO have seriously bad beats and moreso online when there are more hands to play per hour.

The last three MTTs I've gone out:
1. Anjie had KK against my aces and hit a K on the river.
2. Unknown villain needed to hit a 6 on the river and hit it.
3. Another villain had J7o, I had K9, flop was K92 rainbow - turn and river were 8 and T.

All three were terrible beats. In only one of them could I say the villain played well or anywhere near properly (that was Anjie who did play it well and had me covered). After playing on this site for about four years, I've posted two consecutive months of losses for the first time.

I'm not moaning 'fix' or anything like that, I'm just on a dreadful run. At times like this, which happen to all of us, people do get emotive. It's too dismissive to label everyone who lets off a bit of steam as a 'whinger'.

Ok, its not that relevant to the thread, but darn it I'm gonna say it anyway as I'm feeling quite giddy.  I have that deck of cards shown in the photo! Use them for my home games, very nice they are too.

Generally good post but a lot of people's idea of "letting off steam" is to scream "it's fixed" or "I'm never playing on this site again". That's not very realistic or mature. It also doesn't generally seem to stop them playing again the next night.

Four years is VERY impressive since the site only started in February 2007, I believe. ;-)
