what not to complain about!!!!!

the amount of times a flush hits the flop
tag team players on dym games dumping chips to keep each other in the game
to many times someone calls with rubbish but hit runner runner
people who call ins of over 2000 with lowest off suit cards possible but just happen straights or full houses

so many weird things happening on this site over last few months

and i dont want any div replies to say stop moaning etc, as those people are always the the ones with large bankrolls or are always on form in their own minds

and i do quite well for my level and not at a loss in any way shape or form

just a rant through observation as of recent

    Mumsie, in a post with no capital letters or punctuation, that's the worst you could find? Shame on you!

    Don't start a 'div' thread and you'll get no 'div' replies

    Bad beats are all part of the game. We all remember the bad beats and forget the suckouts.
    If you cannot cope with bad beats, you should play something else-have you considered chariot racing?

    I can't believe the five exclamation marks have gone unnoticed.

    You know who you are.

    I'm pretty experienced in the online poker world and have played several million hands on multiple different sites/networks over the years. Since making my first deposit on Sky earlier this year I have experienced more bad beats and suckouts than I ever did elsewhere - and I genuinely couldn't be happier about this! 

    The reason for this is simple. When I'm sticking all my chips in the middle I am dearly hoping to be called by a worse hand than mine. On Sky, the frequency with which I get looked up with by a worse hand is much greater than I find elsewhere. Because I'm getting called more frequently on the whole, I am therefore getting in a greater total number of situations where I have a hand which is a 70%+ favourite to win. As a result of this, I will naturally experience a larger total number of bad beats. It's just the nature of the beast that the bad beats stay longer in the memory than all those time you got it in good and held.

    All these bad beats are the reason I find Sky such a good site to play on. It's the time when I'm no longer experiencing them that I shall start to worry!

    If we're going for pedantry, it's worth noting that it's "it's" not "its"
