Fixed Limit

Monday1294

Anyone else want sky to host some fixed limit games such as FLHoldem and FLO8 ?

could someone that votes no explain why they are against it ? how can it be a bad idea ? it more than likely would attract more/new customers to the site .

Morning Mr Monday.

In the UK these days, FL poker is of very low interest, & would attract minimal traffic.

It may return on Sky Poker one day, (it used to be offered, but was culled due to lack of interest), but personally, I believe the Business will have other & better, more commercially savvy priorities, before looking again at re-introducing Fixed Limit.

Ooh, MRS Monday, my sincere apologies. I shall accept your "Friend Request" with alacrity!

We all have different likes & dislikes, so yes, I hope it returns one day. I'm a bit of a PLO8 addict, which is another minority-interest game, so I have to scratch around to get a game, but I guess thats half the fun.

Gotta be said, the folks who play PLO8 are a really odd bunch. I fit in nicely.

Ha! You know I'm right though.

We play a weird game where the pots often get split in half, & in the Low half, there are no flushes, sets, pairs or full houses. How weird is that?

Outdraws? You've never seen the like, & yet most PLO8 players accept them stoically, & just move onto the next hand.
 
In poker, they are far & way the people I most enjoy playing with.

We are like those poor fisherman, who sit on river banks for hours on end, freezing cold & soaking wet, trying to use their intelligence to outwit what many think are the dumbest living things on the planet - fish. Them there fish must be brighter than most think.....

Funny world when you look at it sideways, eh?

Truthfully, not for a very long time imo, no.

The online poker landscape changes so fast, what with new software, Tablet compatibility, "fast poker" all to be considered & maybe developed, & those "minority interest" games attracting less than 1% of global poker liquidity. It just makes little sense to divert valuable resource to such things.

I cut my poker teeth on FL HE - mainly because it was the first poker book I read and I was on a European site where it was really popular.

There was FL on here but never had any volume - believe me I tried.

I now play mainly NL STTs, like the odd punt at NL MTTs although I do enjoy trying out PLO and PLO8

dissappointing but i can completely understand why . thanks for the replies

Tikay10

Thanks Mrs Monday, for being so understanding.

There is always a reason for everything if you scratch below the surface.

Now don't be a stanger, right?
