My 2 pence worth, is that there arent that many mtt's on the site I like to play. That said, I simply dont play them.
I love the deep stack games, plenty of play. Would sky consider running a deep stack game every so often on the TV tables?
It is true that the tv tables fast become a lottery, the facts stand for that, but as pointed out, dont play them.
About the standard of play, there is no doubt that there are a lot more fish here than most other sites and the other sites that come close are ones that have a betting site attached. That said, there are a lot of sharks on here now because of that and my ROI as certainly dropped lately because of it.
Block513 maybe the loose players are just better than you? Poker is a game of skill. I don't believe in luck I believe in variance. Personally speaking, if I can put a player on AA/KK or something which they regard as a big hand, I will call 3x BB bets with 72o if I can.
The reason being, when I miss I can fold, when I hit I can not only take their whole stack but they will believe I am a weak player and proceed to hand over more money.
Ivanovic play nice and don't bait the nice fishies!
If you dont know these people why take that sort of attitude, as all you are doing is name calling and falling below the standard.
If you have a point to make, sir, then i'm sure you can make it without any personal attacks on fellow players.
NOW ALL SMILE & BE HAPPY !!! GOOD LUCK ALL !!!!
You have no right whatsoever to abuse any Sky Poker players, particularly those as loyal as AceBarry, Kirstii, & Greg, & I suggest you refrain.
I have only recently noticed this thread, and to be honest i dont think that the nightly opens and and tv tourneys offer good value for money and so therefore i personally choose not to play them. this is only my opinion, but many other people obviously enjoy these formats and therefore play them. no one is right or wrong!!!! the fact that it is getting personal is pathetic!!!! each to there own and i persoanally think its a good thing for the site that different ppl enjoy different games.
Sky Poker offer Tourneys to suit a wide range of Tastes. They have regular, scheduled Tourneys with structures from 1 minute/500 chips up to 15 minutes/5,000 Chips. The latter is gainng popularity rapidly, but right now, most Sky Poker players prefer the rapid structures.
Very often, 700 players - the maximum - enter the 9pm fast-paced Open or BH. Clearly, they must enjoy it. Those who prefer a more sedate structure are catered for in slow-clock Deepstacks, which run every single Hour, 24/7.
So there is something for everyone, & the Poster who suggested Sky only have fast structures might do well to look again.
I unreservedly apologise for my recent attack on barry,kirsty and greg.I was bang out of order.
I must accept my punishment
I do agree with DON and felt they just rubbished him,but once again i was bang out of order and apologise
I second that, well done Fella.
Let's move on.
I did use the "Report Abuse" Facility, but I hope the Mods will now aceept that it was out of character, & that'll be the end of that.
One final point... one of the earlier posts smirked at the level of play on this site being below par... how could you ever complain? You look to play against weaker opponents to make money. Im sick of people moaning because they cant win money and then suggesting it is rigged etc... its a game of probability, utilise that and you will become a long term winner.
Yes, it is a bit galling to hear all the conspiracy & "it's rigged" stuff, but it's a cross Sky Poker have to bear.
Hey-ho!
Hi tikay, I would like to say thank you for sticking up for us earlier in this thread, I must admit I hadnt read it until today, I will thank you when I next rail you.
I AM HAPPY RICH IF ALLRIGHT lol
Tace care m8
I really don't understand why anyone would make such comments, especially to folks like Greg, Kirstii, & yourself, so I was not best pleased.
The guy has now issued an unreserved apology, & I think that was the decent, & right, thing to do, so I hope we can all now move on togeher, holding hands & things.
Not so sure about the holding hands part tikay...
Bad runs happen as well as the good ones...you just dont notice or complain when you are running good!
Out of all the games on Sky the BH is the one I much prefer because even if you don't make the money you still can make the money. No longer am I sweating to make the final 60 or so depending on the comp - in the BH I might get some money back and still go out early.
Each to his own but I love the BH. As for Sky poker being rigged....would the person who must be winning all the time step down and give us all a go? Oh - word tells me the winners are different each time....so it's not just me that gets the outdraws and bad beats then? Who would have thought... ;-)
Wonderful to see you here.
Why?
Because I cannot think of a single (sensible) reason why Sky Poker would wish to have rigged software. (Think "motive").
Can you?
Two guys got it all-in on this Flop.
4h, 2h, 2d
One had Ah-Kh. (so nut flush draw, & two overs).
The other guy had 4d, 4c - so he'd flopped the Nut House!
The Turn was a King, the River was another King, so the guy who flopped the boat got busted.
But they were both grown-ups, & understand that's how poker works, so there was no "it's rigged" suggestions, the 4-4 man just said "yikes", & that was that.
It was a Live Game.
Thanks

Good post TK
I just think some people on here must be playing above their bankroll level or possibly they overrate their poker ability and think they should automatically win everytime they go in ahead.
Sure have a little bit of a 'mardy' or w/e after a bad beat, I know I like to say things like 'omg' or something similar, but then after a brief break, on to the next game. If you take it too badly then your going to go into games believing you'll lose and if you do that, theres no hope for you.
The sensible ones of us on here whether we play the 25p SnG's or nosebleed cash stakes (that's 95% of us) all know that all sites are much of a muchness when it comes to bad beats/outdraws. SKY is no different and the majority of us accept the fact that we're going to get a bad run from time to time.
I don't really know what motivates the likes of Don-thingy or long doodah, all I know is that there views and actions are divisive and annoying. Henceforth if they can't be engaged in reasonable dialogue without abuse surfacing then the best this to do is to ignore them altogether.
They will hopefully then realise that their puerile rants are pointless and they'll go away and annoy somebody else.
I am all for debate and reasoned argument which is what being part of this forum is all about, that and taking the micky out of Tikay and Richard (nothing personal there guys!) and just generally having fun. If I can make a few quid in the meantime all well and good but I'm not going to beat myself or anyone else up about it.
Sure, I'll moan from time to time and say naughty words such as "oh dear" from time to time but that's life!
Here endeth the sermon.......
