Hi all

As you know we've been working hard on the new Sky Poker software.

Once this is fully live on all types of gameplay, we'll be looking at developing it further with things such as timebank, antes etc up for consideration.

However, those aside, if you had to choose first from the two things below. Which do you think would appeal to you (and other poker players) the most?

    Not particularly interested in either of them to be honest, but as I don't have (and have no intention to get) a tablet, I've voted for the other one

    I also have no interest in either so I voted for Tablet Version which may well bring more players to the site.

    Is 'fast fold' poker like what that other site from across the pond trademarked a few years ago?

    Really need to be accessible on tablets. Tonnes of would be recreational players would play on a tablet,  they are prolly the fastest growing platform for browsing and app-gaming.  Even my dad bought one to play champ manager on

    As is, skypoker is completely inaccessible to millions of people who browse 'room to room'  on tablets.  Even this forum has features unavailable on android tabs. Eg this poll which I cant view as it wont display on my tablet, also private messages. An android app wont be used by the multitabling sharks on here but it will sure as anything help keep their games running.

    Cheers,

    Tablet for me. Tablets are outselling laptops and PCs and I can see it bringing so many recreational players in just sat in front of the TV on an evening playing a table or two on Sky Poker as well.

    no interest in any of them.

    if fast fold was introduced it could well take away even more of the skill element from online poker because now not only is the visual element of the game gone but also the general image of a table and ourself. if players were changing tables  all the time it may lead to even more excuses why people want HUDs.

    Yeah, never played on a tablet, but as far as the two options go, that gets my vote.

    For the life of me I can't see how you can get the tables displayed properly on a paracetamol but it gets my vote.

    Iv had a revolutionary idea instead of playing through tablet what about playing through TV.

    I am sure it would be a site that was fun to play and would have lots of sustainable growth as it would attract lots of recreational players spending money on poker. Then it turn attracting more regs.

    What you reckon?

    Very funny. As you very well know we did this some time ago and although it was quite popular in it's infancy, it be came less and less used and wasn't being played much at all - which was one of the reasons for closing it.

    You've mentioned this a few times (we have noticed!) but honestly, there were less people playing it than you think. The number of people interested in playing on their tablet is far more than want to play using their remote control on TV.

    And actually, you might not realise this but with our new software (and the way we are developing it) it will work on any device with a suitable browser in future. With smart TVs growing, its increasingly included on modern TVs so that 'market' will very likely come back.

    Voted for the Tablet, although I suspect by the time Sky get round to this upgrade tablets will be obsolete.

    Not familiar with the term "Fast Fold Poker".
    What is it?
    Where  can I experience it?
