***New Software Freerolls on Tuesday 8th October**
Hi Everyone,
Cash games have been available on the new software for a few months and today we are running some freerolls which will be the first tournaments to run using the new software as a trial.
The first tournament is in the lobby called '£50 New Freeroll' and capped at 50 players.
We'll post up the rest of the schedule on here a little later.
There are fairly small player caps today, this will increase over the coming days and weeks.
We do not currently support Internet Explorer 8 in the new software, IE8 users who register for this tournament will still be able to launch these tournaments in the old software if they wish.
best wishes
Adam

gg me lol
Firstly i didn't cash 9/50 so that can be looked at lol.
On a serious note, there are issues, old lobby still in use, when viewing another table from same mtt (old table graphics show up, not new graphics).
You capped the 2nd freeroll to 50, then changed to 100 at last minute.
Hand history should have it's own tab elsewhere instead of under the game info tab (this would be very useful, esp if having chat left up, instead of having to keep pressing different tabs to see this info).
No timebank still in use on sky poker.
And lastly still no speech bubbles, or an option to ignore another players chat.
Other then these little problems, new graphics work great and gl all at the tables too.
Only thing I've noticed so far is that the preflop pre-set betting buttons dont work 2BB and 3BB were greyed out, 4BB was lit up but clicking it did nothing. The All-in button seems to be the only one that works.
I'm sure it does this on the current software but doesn't seem to on this one... it would be nice if when you click in the bet amount box to type in your own bet, the current amount should automatically be highlighted so that you can just overtype your bet, and not have to highlight it yourself
I.E. the old software would say, how many runners are left, where you are currently placed out of the remaining players. Personally I think this info should be there no matter what size videw you're in.
I lost KK v AJ aipf and then lost AQ v KT aipf, what's that all about?
Bust now, so can't give more feedback but all the above was what I spotted in 25 mins.
One thing different to the cash tables is the info on the "Game Info" tab. Hand history needs to be moved onto its own tab if possible and the facts and figures being a very spindly white font on blue (again) are very difficult to read, Make them dark on white please.
When in later levels, the bet slider used to increase in multiples of the small blind I beloeve. Now it increases only in increments of 20 chips which makes it a lot slower to slide it to a reasonable raise.

- The avatars are poor quality (blurry) as are the Routlette/Blackjack/LiveDeal buttons on the right hand side of the screen.
- I could not get the tournament lobby up when clicking the lobby button in the software. Nothing would happen.
I have to say, I didn't see a significant improvement to be honest. It's different, but not nessessarily better - it does seem like change for change sake? Sure there are a few more stats, but apart from that there is little enhancement. Having said that, I do realise that Sky have their reasons - maybe they posted them elsewhere and I didn't come across them. I'm not saying the new style is bad, but I'm not sure the benefits ae worth all the work?
Second game; annoying that keeps closing the chatbox to go back to the cashier all the time.
New softawre same old bad beats!!!!
Gl all in these freerolls, yes freerolls. (ooops now rebuys and add-ons)
Firstly as pointed out before the continual changing of the tab to cashier is extremely annoying and undesirable.
Secondly Everytime i got moved to a new table i was being dealt a hand but my bet buttons were replaced by a message saying waiting to join table and i had to close and reboot the table each time
The 4pm freeroll had 225 runners and 450,000 chips in play, pay out is therefore as per below
We'll get these credited shortly
