The sky is falling

Bit of an update on the skypoker situation. Not entirely surprisingly, in pursuit of a rapid multiple spin-up I have given back my gains. As anticipated, this is because I tried to short-cut the process. I feel highly confident that a patient approach would be a sure-fire winner.

I have discovered one new problem. Because the standard of play is so bad, one finds oneself starting to play badly oneself, especially in respect of playing poor hole cards and chasing draws.

The right approach, clearly, is to stick to patient, sound poker and then - surely - it's just a matter of time for the money to roll in. The problem with that is two-fold. Firstly, as we said, the play is really slow which makes it more difficult to be patient. Secondly, I find playing with such bad players rather corrosive so I'm not sure I really want to stick around on the site even if I'm right that it is a winning proposition.

On the other hand, as I am saying it is such easy money, I feel obliged to show a profit before moving on. I guess I'll probably settle for banking a small profit and then leave well alone.
