New Sky Poker Tables on Tournaments and SNGs
Hi Everybody,
Today we have released our Brand New Sky Poker tables that have been available on Cash Games finally on Tournaments and Sit and Gos.
All games Sky Poker offer whether it's a Omaha Hi-Lo Sit and Go or the upcoming £20,000 Super Roller this Sunday can be played on the new software.
We hope you all enjoy the new tables which we have been working to build around feedback that you have given from the "Feedback Area" in the forum which will remain open if anyone would like to post a comment.
Please leave a comment below telling us what you think of the new software, it will be much appreciated.
Cheers everybody,
Sky Peter.

How many themes will be made available?
When will this new classic mini view theme be available to use?
It is new and different so feels awkward but deliberately closing it and using the old tables just means you'll never get used to it until the point where you have no choice.
NEW
Old
Leaving feedback on the new software doesn't seem to have been much use either, over the last three months there's been numerous suggestions, indications of problems etc, constructive commets etc. but the only thing that seems to have changed over all that time is the fixing of the player notes bug.
Is there no way players could have a choice which table they want too play on? Like is done with the mtts and cash tables?
Also why is there nothing telling you when a player is sat out/sat back in as this can be a very important factor in dyms especially when down too the last 4?
Lets not forget that the new software is just the starting block of greater things to come.
Old versus New.........
OLD Software
Is generic and unable to withstand continuous development.
It has at times been cumbersome & suffered continuous technical issues
It's years behind it's competitors
Whats to like about the New Software
It's a more reliable platform.
It should (For the main part) run faster than the old software.
It is able to sustain rapid & continuous development to suit everyone's tastes.
It will be able to have customisable themes & colours in the near future.
It will be able to have customisable table layouts in the near.
Re-sizable Tables
Auto Top Ups
And much much more
In contrast, the old software is unable to be developed with many of these new features and we need a software that is able to grow & develop with the growing client database & our current needs.
Of course, from the beginning it will not be to everyone's taste, that is already clear to see, however, like everything new, we have to give it time to develop into its full potential.
With this new software will come many more exciting developments & additions in the future.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but at least this gives us the building blocks to make it happen.
IMO the OLD software is a bag of spanners in comparison and whilst I still like to use my old spanners from time to time, my adjustable spanner is much more versatile.
Another point as I have a preferred table size between standard and mini will the software remember this setting or will I have to adjust size manually?
Oh and another thing it's all a bit boring being just variations of blue. Some colour options wouldn't go amiss e.g. table and backgound. Overall impression nearly there but not quite.
and by the amount of people complaining sky will take note which is proved by this post from sky.

And also i like a lot of others don,t really care whether sky is behind or ahead of its competitors.as if i did i would play on those sites not sky
As someone who multi-tables, I was shocked and confused when the new tables popped up yesterday! I seemed to spend more time getting used to the table layout and graphics rather than focusing on playing poker - luckilly I still ended in profit but I didn't feel comfortable at all yesterday.
One request, is there an option to make the comments sticky (on a players name) more noticeable please? Also the timer appears to go a lot fast when it's your turn to act and I preferred radio buttons to the block buttons for actions.
Your hand description in the middle of the table scrolls betwen high hand and low hand. There seems to be plenty of space for both to be displayed at the same time, so can this be fixed please?
The current blind level and time to next level is a) far too tiny and b) being in blue on a blue background, very difficult for me to read. I even had to ask someone else to read it out to me at one point last night (Is this breaking the one player to a hand rule?!?!?!) and in the end when I started to get a little tired I gave on my session an hour or two earlier than I would have because of the difficulty of reading this vital information.
+1
Gives me eye strain trying to read the new tables because everything is so small and faint.
Can't be that difficult to change a few colours so that is more of a contrast between table & background.
The font size of chips that are bet need to be slightly bigger.
Thanks
