    Withdraw a little before you reach that part of your bankroll l, then it won’t be fixed!

    OP the problem (and consequently great thing) about poker is the luck factor that tricks our brain into remembering the times we got unlucky and convincing ourselves that's why we aren't winning, rather than through any of our own misunderstanding.

    In my humble opinion, both of those hands are full of fundamental errors in your strategy, which I guess make their way into more of your game than just these two hands. Focus on getting better and improving as a player and with some discipline the bankroll will follow :)

    It would be fixed if 93 never ever beat AA.

    Why is it fixed? Why would they fix it? That last hand you've posted, explain why that would be fixed, the site doesn't care who wins the hand.

    That's the reason the site is fixed? Because you lose? Nothing to do with 10x raising AQ then shoving on a jack high flop? Cos if that's your general style of play then it's no wonder you lose it all.

    It's a tough one. I know for a fact there are a number of players who, over the long-run, are consistently making thousands in profits from Sky's low/micro stakes cash games. I guess this leaves one of two possible options...

    1. Sky Poker is rigged but only for certain players. The programmers of the software have developed a highly complex algorithm which allows them to decide in advance who will be allowed to be profitable in the long-term and build a bankroll. Perhaps the person in charge of this is a Man Utd fan and they took umbrage at your choice of screen name?

    2. Sky doesn't care who wins or loses as they get their cut of rake regardless. The software isn't rigged in favour of certain players and those who are long-term winners are employing a superior strategy compared to their losing opponents.

    It's up to you to decide which of these is the more likely and where best to focus your time/energy.

    Good luck :)

    Hey Carl

    Can you post some of the hands where you called , was way behind and suddenly you end up winning?

    We all win some outrageous pots with a river card that beggars belief it actually hits...conversely

    I think you need to consider playing another site...btw I'm a red but even I don't subscribe to the redscum conspiracy theory!

    Too many of these threads pop up. I think a nice idea would be to just people completely and utterly honest with people.

    The reason you think it's rigged and you can't get past the micros is simply - you are not good enough. It's also possible that you're too stupid to grasp this.

    I agree I wasn’t really expecting it from Carl, it’s normally the one time posters that make these threads.

    I agree with Kapow tbh,

    As others have said, I didn't expect a thread like this from you. You're on a bad run and it's easy to blame the site rather than have a look at your game.

    Do you put any study in away from the tables? There is a tonne of free content on you tube etc. The more effort you put in away from the tables the better your long term results will be. Or you can blame the site and carry on as you are, it's your money.

    I get what your saying about not being able to get above a certain bankroll, I've been there myself often.

    I have more success building from say £15 to £100 than from say £150 to £500.
    And greater success dropping from £200 to £70 than losing from £23 to bust.

    I've managed to narrow down what's going on and why I seem to be limiting myself.

    I play different depending on how my previous session went, I don't mean to.

    Around 5 days ago, I had an amazing session, up around £40 at 0.02/0.04.

    Lots of my pairs hit trips and I got paid, I barrels AK every street on missed boards to get folds on rivers, I got paid and hitting became standard. Bad play rewarded. I'm hitting boards when I shove too.

    Next day, different story, nothing hits and I'm sucked out on so often it's got me laughing out loud.

    I'm even playing different, " if I just call one more street,I'm bound to hit"

    I'm losing so badly , my brains gone numb and I can't remember if I'm supposed to cbet here.


    I'll badly quote Jonathan Little.

    ' Most players don't understand variance, sometimes you'll run do hot you never knew it could be do good, sometimes you run so bad you never knew it could be so bad and then it gets worse'

    Generally though, I play better poker when my bankroll is limited and awful poker when my bankroll is deeper, I seem to think I'm a better player after a winning session and I plug my leaks after a bad session.
