| Title: | Sky Poker - Manipulation or Cynicism? | 3 out of 3 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| If your one of the Sky Team members then your quids in, also if your new to the site you tend to start off on a winning streak....that will not last long. Even when you know who the Sky Team players are when you ask them on chat 'are they part of Sky Poker' they refuse to answer? Shouldn't be embarrassed about that but maybe the number of times they hit the big pot cards. New players to the high stakes don't last long. Is it possible to manipulate the winning percentage for certain players or am I being cynical? If they can do it for gaming machines then who knows? Maybe they can manipulate the losing percentage to fleece and get rid of the players that bemoan this awful site? (Like me!) | |

| Title: | sky's bots | 6 out of 6 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| There is something rather fishy going on sky poker. On several tables (micro to low stakes) there are "players" who can not be found, when one tries using the search feature on the poker client. Now check this, when i contact the live support and asked them why i couldn't find "some of these players(a.k.a Badcall, T0d19 and other which i can't recall now), the system administrator could NOT find them in the system data base. I pointed where they played exactly and afterwards i started to get redirected on chating with executives. Those guys assured me that they will look into it, but will not inform me "whats going on" because it was a matter of security. Nothing changed the next few weeks, those guys continued playing, no regulations were met on what-so-ever. I think somebody's working with the regulators big time. | |

| Don't know if it's fixed but sure is fishy. Never seen so many bad players making bad calls and always seem to hit. Try to ask why they make these flat calls looking for miracle cards and they never answer. Seems SKY haven't created a bot that can talk.. | |

| Title: | I'm divided | 1 out of 1 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I've been on Sky Poker for about 2-3 years and used to play when I needed a break from Pokerstars. Have been regular on there for last 3 months or so.
I'm thankfully a winning player on there. However much I enjoy the site I agree with so many negative points on here.
I have found when I make a withdrawal I tend not to cash for sometime afterwards.
The site lags so often and there is never a problem with my Internet connection. When I call Sky to complain they always blame my connection or computer. At times I have been so far behind the action due to this lag that I have blinded out of tourneys!
When I'm big stack, especially in bounty hunter tourneys I make so many bad calls as it feels like 9/10 times the software favours the big stack and finds a way for you to come from behind! When approaching the final table this is even more of an occurrence as they want the tourney to play out!
Never shove with a small pair on final table as a big stack will call and you will lose! Is reall that simple.
Also so many regs that I'm sure Sky favour these players. | |

| Title: | Rigged ing | 11 out of 11 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| I've been analysing sky for more than 10,000 hands (MMT) and over 7,000 hands (cash games) to establish whether the dealt hole cards and bad beats are correlated with the accepted statistics of both random draw (hole cards) and likely win odds for sklansky group 1 dealt hole cards versus actual wins with group 1 cards (bad beats) on the site.
By new year's day (2013) - i had established a very significant sample of data which show a higher bad beat scenario than would be statsitcially viable. The difference was significant enough that winning with the sklansky group 1 cards when dealt could be considered equal to losing with the same cards. This can be considered an outlier in correlation terms.
In dealt hole cards, sky dealt so significantly lower valued cards and combinations of cards that their RNG could be questioned (over those sample data).
However, the situation suddenly changed on new year's day when i made the mistake of commenting on the flaws in the RNG algorithm during a tournament in the chat box to another player. Within 3 hands, and for the next 250 hands my data showed a complete reversal with a very very high average dealt hole card value and 100% hit on the board (even with group 2 cards). That's a 100% hit in 250 hands where every hand hit a match on the board. Also - there were zero bad beats for any of my hands. In the last hand of the tournament in heads up, my opponent's A high hand was bad beat by my K high hand.
I also played cash tables and heads up cash tables and had exactly the same high value dealt hole cards and zero bad beats. Almost as if a switch had been flicked.
I'm testing the data because I believe the algorithm they are using has a manual intervention capability or a skew to certain types of play/player.
I write algorithms for a living and I like to query the integrity of other algorithms. If a poker site like sky which is geared to maximum profit (7.5% and 10% rake which is actually very high comparatively) wants to make sure the algorithm contributes significantly to the profit them:
>> It must be close to random but it must favour the reckless play because this gets more money in the rake.
>> It must punish tight play and encourage loose play by restricting the hole card value to tight players thereby forcing them to be more aggressive with lower value cards.
>> It must have a high bad beat ratio because this encourages more inexperienced players to go all in with lesser cards thereby generating more rake, and kills good tight players because they don't contribute enough t
Does the sky poker algorithm do any of that? Not sure yet... If you were the boss of that poker site, and your salary was directly correlated to the profitability of the business - would you skew it? Probably not. Would anyone?
As i type - i just got bad beat QQ v 99 - knocked out to a loose player in the final stages of a bounty hunter. Come on sky, keep those bad beats coming because i feel a day of reckoning is coming... | |

| Title: | COLLUSION RIFE ON SKY | 2 out of 2 readers found this review helpful | |
| |
| A few days ago I posted a review on here about collusion on sky poker. I stated how it was being done but did not name names only pointing out that the reason it was happening was mainly due to sky's "community" which has bought about more communication between players via social media and thus some team members are using it to work together on tables..... sky requested people remove team names from under there table alias. Other players are now unaware they can be playing against 2 o 3 players from one team.....
I'm curious as to why pokerscout did't put up my last post unless they're afraid of a law suit or in sky's back pocket... | |

| Title: | badbeats | 3 out of 3 readers found this review helpful | |

| Sky poker has some of the worst players i have ever seen on a poker site (sure some of them are not real). If you are playing on a table with a sky favourite player and you are not well known - kiss your money goodbye because you will lose every time. Software is atrocious. The programme is compered by idiots who will say how good the sky poker players are (if they are part of the team) and say how bad someone else is who makes the same move. - Sky player raises under the gun with 2 5 off its a brilliant move - anyone else does it they are a donkey. All presenters have little or no knowledge at all about the game, cannot find some players that suggests the y are 'bots' and the site is rigged. Get the same cards hand after hand so many times it cannot be random. | |

| Play enough and it becomes clear they are all obviously rigged as are most gambling houses, have to be but I quite enjoy trying to beat the software. Of course I end up losing, trick is to take your profit and turn your back and move on. When they want your money the ratio of bad beats becomes way too high and dramatic for it to be governed by random, however I'm sure some professionals don't suffer the same attention. | |
