    Beleive it or not your actually wrong.

    For one every hand is random!

    And for 2 i've been rivered so sickly about 3 times as much than Sky Poker on Full Tilt.

    Try not committing so much, remember every pre flop hand is easily beatable.  It aint Sky or online it happens as much live as well specially in the rebuy stages.

    hi
    I may be being a bit dumb here but if both opponents had AQ, then there are only 2 aces and 2 queens to come, so the odds on them hitting are reduced, making you favourite pre flop, i think 60/40 but i may be wrong.

    Translation: A lot of my mates don't know how to play online poker and I'm now starting to realise I can't either.

    If u had been the guy with AQ u'd have been wishing an A or Q to come. It's poker and it happens. Brush yourself off and move on.

    Hi Shenny, no I'm most certainly not, however I'm willing to bet you my bankroll that playing on Sky is FAR safer and more reliable than playing live.

    Also, the dynamics of playing live and online are completely different. I also know some players who don't "trust" online poker. They just can't adjust their play or outlook to suit online play. Until they do, they'll keep crying "fix".

    Best of luck in your future play.

    money went in when the hands were at 50/50

    you lost a coinflip, doesnt matter where the ace comes, if the moneys all in then it doesnt matter where the ace comes

    The odds of you losing in that exact sitaution are 35%.

    In other words you will lose 1 in 3 times this occurs.

    This has nothing to do with sky poker being rigged.

    It is just simple maths.

    Yes I know in this scenario there are only 2 aces and queens to come but my point is, what some people think are horrendous beats are 30% to happen - one player referred to it as a miracle the other day - not quite up there with turning water into wine in my opinion ;-)
