In Response to Re: New Sky Poker Tables on Tournaments and SNGs : I had this in the £12 semi for the 9pm game Could see my hole cards maybe every 2 or 3 hands - complete pain in the ....... Posted by IrishRose
exactly the same for me hole cards not visible most of the time hopeless
In Response to Re: New Sky Poker Tables on Tournaments and SNGs : +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 Posted by VespaPX
In full size some of the writing is way too small. There's bound to be severe eye strain especially if multi tabling. I'd be very interested to hear eyemans view (for those who don't know hes an optician). Oddly enough if you play in min view everything is much more readable.
Am not liking the new format, too big, why do the cards need to be so big. I think sky also lose the professionalism. make it look babyish. NOT A FAN!!!
I've just played one of the £300 freerolls alongside another MTT, and when you reduce the window size so the format changes (to what I assume is going to be termed the new "mini view" the blind level information disappears completely.
i am registered blind and could play ok in mini veiw on the old graphics I now find it almost impossible to see to play I use an ipad to play How do you make the table into mini? The contrast is so poor and there is too much difference in sizes I dont like the new cards either I have never used another site because i could see the tables ok on sky and have noticed while watching tv, that the graphics are just as awful on other sites but i may have to go searching
had my first real go on the tables tonight. 4 tabled mtt's all on mini view. Apart from losing 3 70/30 flips they played pretty well for me lol
Minor issues:
-Hand history could be easier accessed (have it on main table screen). -The tab that shows were you are in tournament (cant remember name of it) could be better - can you not make text smaller to squeeze more of it in so you don't have to scroll. -Not keen on position of bets by players on left and right (I think this is reason people are finding it hard to follow) -chips graphics a bit rubbish. -away player needs to be more obvious -players bounty value looks a bit rubbish too. -players name and stack size text should stand out a little bit more -colours in general could do with tweaking (as i said on another post too many blues)
Other than that I thought they played fine and I had no problem following the action. If only lady luck had been on my side.........
I have been out checking the competition, should I need to jump ship.
Bet Fred - NO
WSOP - NO
888 - NO
PARTY POKER YES YES YES lovely and relaxed once again as I lose but at least I enjoyed it, which I do not on the new style that Sky have forced onto us.
So I will play cash only from now on and tournies elsewhere until the cash tables on Sky go the same way as the MTT's at which point I will play all games elsewhere.
Kind regards to anyone from Sky following these threads, been a good site for quite a while but all good things come to an end at some point and you have brought about your own downfall
Awful, keeps disconnecting and im getting blinded out while away. Complained to helpdesk, offered £5 token but not what I lost as they had no evidence, even though you can see from my hand histories I was blinded out. DISGRACEFUL!!!
