    Your being teased and given advice not abused. I highlighted your contribution in calling players A HOLEs not very nice.

    EssexPhil has a whole host of examples, still feels its all 'part of the game'... its part of the online game..... it still amuses me that in the Whole of the SPT Glasgow last year, the only bad beat hands that were posted were all in preflops where a pair beat a bigger pair by making trips and an AK got beaten by AJ by a jack hitting...

    Where were all the trips getting beaten by backdoor straights and the like??? Where were the underpairs all in preflops, that made backdoor flushes or straights? These are the constant things we see online, not one to be seen at SPT Glasgow!

    Its quite clearly the manner of the badbeat which is so so blatantly different online. The manner of them. Designed to excite for those who like that sort of thing. IE the bulk of new players stumbling in from the online casino.....

    Lets consider the player who does not accept what he is seeing; He feels cheated at times, he feels disappointed that hes wanting to play poker but is having to play this enhanced version. He wants to encourage change and wants sites to take on board his and many others feelings. He sometimes feels angry towards what he knows is not quite right and speaks out.

    This is the player such as GOODWAN, myself and the many others who comment on here.

    Now lets consider those who think its random. I cant think of a single reason to why they should feel the need to show any aggression in their replies... they have not lost money, they dont feel cheated, they dont feel disappointed, they have no connection to the site whatsoever .... so what fuels their responses to this quite incredible level?

    Do u want to have a go at this EssexPhil... what fuels youre aggressive backing of online poker?

    When you sign up to Sky Poker you agree to terms & conditions we all do, so you can bleat Huff & Puff or suck it up. The RNG is what it is love it or hate it.
    Your on a Agenda to save a Coal Pit......

    im just wondering why they aggressively defend something that is something of a 50/50 debate, when there is no emotion connected to it like those who feel disappointed with what they see......

    We clearly have a different idea as to what is, or is not, "aggressive".

    I, and others on here, do not accuse you of deliberately lying. Or, for that matter, being an a-hole.

    The owners of Sky Poker are worth about £23 Billion. That is £23,000,000,000.00. They make money in a variety of ways. Through setting odds on a variety of events. And setting them, perfectly legitimately, to make a profit.

    Online poker works differently to most other sports betting. In that they take a cut of the stake money, and leave the players to fight over the rest.

    It's not impossible to manipulate the market. By some sort of "enhanced" version. The thing is, in order to make a few quid, they would have to risk £23 Billion.

    Which would be a spectacularly stupid gamble. From a Company that has grown to £23 Billion by avoiding making stupid gambles. And to think otherwise is tiresome. Any self-respecting conspiracy theorist would regard that as too fantastic to be true.

    You are playing real poker. With all its triumphs, trials and frustrations. Simple as that.

    And if you don't like that, then don't play.

    just to add to this point , for me its probably pretty close to fact , that sitting at an event in person you are trying to play your best poker , everyone is watching you and you care more to beat the competitors , where's online it is just numbers on a screen and people are at home maybe concentration levels are a bit up and down depending whats going on around you e.t.c thats why you may see more turns rivers and what comes with that is more random outcomes ?

    I would not ever say there is 'more random outcomes' online, in fact i would describe it as 'more standard outcomes'.... an avalanche more of wholly predictable standard outcomes

    You play more hands on line in a day than you would in 20 live games, for example. You’re going to see more beats each day than you would live. Doesn’t make this disproportionate.

    What gets me is that the people moaning STILL come back for more. It’s almost sadistic? More pain please, cheat me out of my money… I mean, wtf?

    Someone is brave enough to put up what they see every few days, on this forum. Many, many, do not.

    Alot of people need to seek help.... for what exactly? Not being to able to accept seeing an avalanche of unrelenting unusual hands and to be able to keep quiet?

    bbmike is one of these people who gets quite aggressive defending things that he knows himself, is questionable.... and deeper down absolutely knows the score.... odd stuff

    First sensible thing that you've ever written.
    @bbMike is a real vicious bastardd.
