    Hi BIGGT

    I am sorry, but just like us tikay is unable to see any other players hand histories, there are two possabilities you could add you play your hand request in the Sky Poker T.V. Channel, Play my hand requests, or you could copy and paste the hand into the Poker Clinic you will I m sure get some good responses, please do not forget poker is a 7 card game, you could easily get beat on the 1st card as the last.

    i'm pretty new to poker, only been playering for about 5 months. i used to think poker was a game of luck, untill i read a couple of books and wow, sooooooooo much to learn!!!! i'm currently learning all the top 8 grouping poker hands and positional plays. hopefully soon will be moving onto trying to learn, work out and understand out percentages and pot odds. how do i know when i'm good enough to move up a level in cash games? should i be winning 50%/ 60% 70% of the time, or is it simply worked out on my bankroll?

    Hi shooter

    I personaly use the 5% rule, I will never risk more than 5% of my bankroll, or 2-3% in a MTT, i would suggets when you are beating the tables evey time on the level you are on, then step up a level, but dont be afraid to drop down again should you start losing.

    If your Aces are losing 9 times out of 10, something is clearly not right..........

    Show us the Hand Histories, please.

    Thats 2 hands izabel, which is entirely within the range of possibility, & perfectly normal by any standards, but you said "9 times out of 10" which would be, in my experience, at the very limits of possibility - assuming they were played conventionally. Please post the numbers of all 10 hands, & I'll have the boffins (I cannot access other players HH's) take a look.

    Thanks.

    It's not "Sky Poker" izabel, it's "Poker".

    I cannot see that hand, (or any hand), but don't forget to send me those 10 hands where you lost with Aces, & I'll send them up to Head Office for them to take a look for you.

    Well losing with Aces 11 times in 3 days, if you play enough poker, is quite normal.

    How many times did you win with them in those 3 days?

    How many times in those 3 days did you outdraw better hands?

    Hi BIGTT.

    I cannot access other players Hand Histories, so cannot comment, but please Post the History up here, or in the Poker Clinic, or describe the action, & I'd happily comment.

    It seems to be the fashion to blame Sky Poker for bad beats, but the reality is that it is the nature of poker, rather than Sky Poker. We could debate all day as to what % of poker is luck, or luck-based, but not a soul on earth could say there is no luck in poker, & luck or bad luck is an unpredictable thing.

    Did you know that recently, the highest court Switzerland ruled that poker is a game of luck, rather than skill? The better players have an edge, of course, but luck remains a high part of the game. 

    Showing me a single bad-beat in isolation does not prove anything, I'm afraid. There are underlying maths involved here, & the maths never fail, assuming the sample size is adequate.

    Our "suckouts", too, are exactly in mathematical ratio to our bad beats.

    In poker, more than any other "game", we must learn to roll with the punches, & accept the beats & suckouts with a shrug of our shoulders, because it was always so, & it will always remain so.

    Any Poker Site where there are not normal bad beats is cheating, & has rigged software. I don't believe any Online Room would be that dumb, because if a Poker Room wanted to fiddle it's Clients, there are far better ways.

    I hope your luck changes soon.

    mr Tikay, will you be playing any of the GUKPT festival in Luton and if yes, which events?
    Posted by bunnydas
    Hi bunny,

    Probably not, I like the 2 day Events very much, but it's unlikely I have any 2 consecutive days free. I'm also considering taking a bit of a break from playing Live poker at Luton.

    Good Luck if you play any of them.

    Hi Tikay, if you get a moment can you look at this thread here and if you think it's a worthwhile idea pass it on to someone who might be able to do something with it? Thanks, Aaron.
