Is Sky Poker dying a slow and painful death?

waller03

Is it just me, or has general traffic on Sky Poker reduced dramatically this year?

I used to be able to multi table 10+ £11 and £22 DYM consistently from 2pm onwards on a daily basis....nowadays I struggle to get 4 simultaneous games in the earlier hours and even going into the evening session too.

Are players jumping ship because even during "peak" hours I cant get more than 2 games at a time going?

Thinking of leaving as there simply isn't enough volume available anymore. Its now 7pm and its taking an age for even one game to fill...just not good enough!

The TV channel stops, traffic slows, rewards change for the worse (in my opinion) and it simply isn't the same anymore.

Thoughts?

Summer months generally do hit Sky Poker but I have noticed a drop in player traffic and I do agree the TV channel has had a lot to do with it.

Always the same this time of the year, especially if the weather is nice like today

Hi Waller03

Thanks for your question. The honest answer is 'no' and categorically so.

As the other guys have pointed out it is a bit quieter at this time of year but, comparing to the same time as last year, we are growing.

Thanks for your concern though.

Ok maybe its because previous years I havnt noticed as didn't play during the day times. Been a loyal Sky Poker customer for years so don't want to migrate but maybe during summer months day time play will have to go elsewhere.

Thanks for your responses guys!

No worries I get "Hi Ryan" constantly on the tables too so i'm used to it now, thinking of changing my name to Ryan just so I can say Hi back lol.

Picked a bad time of year to go semi-pro then! Its not too bad still at the moment as even though im playing a lot less volume the win % has shot up a bit as concentrating more on fewer games....just not racking up anywhere near as many points anymore so losing out on RB.

Think i'll just enjoy the heatwave like everyone else this week! )
