Sky is getting irrational bad publicity.

  Do a search on Google for "Sky Poker Reviews".
 The 1st result I get is from Poker Scout . Sky gets a rating of 1.8/10. The top comments are ridiculous, mainly about bad beats, but they have lots of likes. The last pages have good new comments but too many dislikes too be seen, i'v just been through and liked the ones I agree with, and made my review. I'd love to see Sky booming, so hopefully we can help out here..
 Cheers..

     You'll find that the majority of reviews on poker scout for all sites are not good.
    Not so much reviews as more a place for people to moan about bad beats.

    'virtually every other hand played on this site is won by a flush or full house'
    'Tournaments: poor choice and very much focused on turbo blind structures '
    'Forum: it is a community of Donks'

    As the great man Robert Heinlein said - "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."

     haha, just had a look, I didn't think of looking at other sites on there. It's all the same, 1.8/10 isn't actualy that bad compared to some of them on there. 

     I cant believe that is the 1st site that comes up on google tho, it's such bad publicity. I bet the majority of new players would come through google normally.

    Every single site is the same on there.  Same total nutters posting the same nonsense about every site.

    Bad losers who have no idea about poker at all.  You will often see them claim 'I'm a good player, have won $100k on XYZ and now I've played 10 MTTs on this site and I can't win a flip it must be rigged'.

    Just hilarious.  Fun for the entertainment value sometimes.  Those kind of people and their thought processes are what are gonna keep the games good for years to come.

    On Page One alone, the following comments were made.....

    The biggest scams pokersite!!!


    I am 100 % certain ********** is corrupt. Corrupted by hackers to create a result for the hackers to win. Can you imagine , our hard earned money is going into the pockets of some insidious criminals who sit back and smile about how easy it is to take the fools money.

    This site is rigged for bad beats

    ********** DESTROYED MY FATHER LIFE


    ********** is a FCKN JOKE!

    **********, as most people call it now is such a scam, it's scary

    Guys, take my advice, this site is purly rigged, they keep on ripping u off all the time, they give u a little to drag u like a dog to the bone, then they grab on ur money whol the time.

    this RNG is the most rigged programm on earth,



    What site were those comments about? PokerStars. So I don't think too many rational thinking individuals will be troubled too much by these "Reviews".

    Good job he does not play Omaha.

    Haha, this thread is cracking me up :D

    What doesn't make sense is; let's assume that a poker site is in fact rigged by hackers for their own accounts to make money. If that was possible on one site then it would be the case on all sites, so why does the person complaining bother playing online poker at all?

    The thing that really gets me is when someone in the chatbox complains with "OMG, why did you call a re-raise with 72off, idiot player". At that point I always pipe up and say "it's their money, they can do what they like". Then they respond telling me how bad I am at poker .. even if that was true, it's a completely separate argument, I did not once state I was any good ..

    I'm a very argumentative person by nature, I enjoy the whole psychology aspect, and enjoy the way others get increasingly angry in response to valid points. You know you've won an argument when the person you're debating with starts to attack you personally rather than arguing the actual point - it's very satisfying :-)

     I just had another look at the site, it let me vote on the comments again today, thats probably why all the negative comments are voted on so much.
