"Spongy" software is tilting me...

In Response to "Spongy" software is tilting me...:

Well, my technical problems persist and it looks like I'll just play out my small bankroll and leave for stabler shores. Today the software behaved generally spongy on the 2p/4p table, I needed to press buttons often several times to get a response and it timed me out several times too. Once it timed me out on a BB, while having 'Auto Post Blind' ticked (as I always do!), real annoying because you then have to 'wait' the whole round AND pay an ante (of 2 p)! 5 minutes of waiting for the princely sum of 2 pence! Watching paint dry is more fun... (and cheaper!)   I've already complained here and there, as well as received small compensation from SkyPoker but there is no significant improvement...   And no cards for me tonight either, not a single Ace in about twenty hands... Held my own despite the problems, hovering around the 4 quid I'd brought. Finally, a heads up with my straight, and the river card made opponent a full house, all in on the river, £4.00 in the pot, off to 'JIMBOE'! A bad beat, to add insult to injury...   No, they either fix this thing or I'm OUT TA HERE ! No fun playing on half-tilt all the time... SkyPoker is rapidly becoming a case of 'fading beauty' to me.

Tried to play at a 2p/4p table again, just 10 mins ago: problems right from the off, even typing in the amount to bring to the table was touch and go with this dodgy Flash player.

 

A few hands played OK and I won one pot post-flop very early. Then it outed me on 10h 3h in very early position. I always call/raise all suited holes.

 

Then again on A 9 which as it turned out would have been a winner....

 

Then on a pair of Jacks...

 

So, yesterday it worked more or less but no cards came my way, today playable cards but 'computer says NO!'

 

Ridiculous to the umpteenth degree. SkyPoker did recently award me £5 of comp (and they have dutifully paid out the small starter bonuses). I think this would be a dream of a site, if it wasn't for the freakin' software!!!

 

I'm tempted to try and double my money once of a higher stakes table and then cut and run off to PokerHeaven or 888 but who says playing a higher cash game will not be equally like a mine field of unprovoked time-outs?

 

I also wanted to play a 'Double your money' but I'll be damned to risk 25 quid in these circumstances.

 

Certainly no one can accuse me of not having exercised patience: technical glitches can happen but this is habitual, not glitchy...

 

Does anybody have any suggestions?
