Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
SORT YOUR SOFTWARE
SKY is an abomination and the software you peddle that promotes terrible hand representation is possibly the worst in the industry. The site is a shadow of its earliest beginnings when I and friends played regularly, today its performs with corrupt and perverted outcomes in the poisitive for the purposes of gambling and to reward and encourage those that see the maths as a mere bagatel.
It runs just like the media corporation; unaccountable, unbelievable and disreputable. It was good in the beginning and its terrible now- sort it!

I played quite a few package qualifiers on the site that is the main sponsor of this years WSOP and had issues every night!
On some sites there is either no functioning hand replayer or one that works much less effectively than the one here. It would be nice to see the hand replayer showing the hands like an action replay but that really is a minor grumble, the one in place does work perfectly well and allows copy/pasting of hands to the forum.
The download client doesn't work for me and some others I have spoke to but that is not an issue as the browser play, far from being amongst the worst in the industry, is amongst the best I have played on. I have heard people report several bugs on the download client so I am more than happy to play via the browser which rarely gives me any issues even if playing numerous tables.
In Response to SORT YOUR SOFTWARE: Apart from being completely subjective this just seems hyperbolic in the extreme.
In Response to SORT YOUR SOFTWARE: Sky is accountable, that is an undisputable fact! They have to satify numerous regulatory bodies. The 'unbelievable' part sounds like some hands didn't go your way so rather than look at internal factors (your game) it is easier to just blame outside factors (Sky). Disreputable... How so? Like every other site issues seem to emerge now and then but I haven't seen one example of Sky doing anything even remotely underhand. On the contrary from what I have seen they have went above and beyond and support a lot of leagues etc via the forum, which sure may be in their interest, but isn't something they need to do. The rakeback also is up at the highest levels I have seen on a site and the promotions seem very generous too!
Sky may not be perfect and sure constructive feedback is good but this just seems like a bitter post filled with Rhetoric, hyperbole and untruths written as is from the perspective that you are a prisoner of Sky forced in some way to play here.
There are improvements I would love to see here but what is in place currently is very far removed from "unaccountable, unbelievable and disreputable" or "amongst the worst in the industry". Also the communication between players and staff is excellent (in great part thanks to Tikay who seems to be happy to help out players with issues big & small). I have also found live chat easy to get a hold of and always eager to solve any issues.
Even cashouts seem very easy compared to many other sites; I cashed out from one other site to an ewallet last week and it took almost a week. I also know another site where players are currently waiting for months. Thus far everything I have requested has been done in under a day.
You can get much better perverted outcomes on other websites.
Where's the abacus when you need it?
*sheepishly wanders off to order a calculator on ebay*
*Still waiting on my calculator to arrive from ebay*
He wants them to upgrade their software?
If you thought a company was corrupt and trying to fleece you... Why the (insert expletive here) would you want them to 'sort their software'?
If I was of the opinion a company was corrupt I coudn't give a 'Castlemine 4X' what they done with their software I simply wouldn't be playing on the site, period.
For such a mathematics expert it seems your ability to juggle a couple of variables and come to a solid conclusion is ever so slightly lacking.
*calculator still hasn't arrived from ebay & starting to suspect this is a level*
I see youve played 120 tournies on sky and are down 235 quid , im over 600 quid down, playing 1200+ tournies. So, im not doing too good.
Im not suspicious of Sky and am happy to play here daily.
Ive won my share of hands that I didnt even belong in, Ive been knocked out by ATC more than I care to mention.
I think , 'if I improve my game, my result will improve' .
Im only human and if my thinking is flawed , well, im here to learn.
Now, if your correct and its actually the RNG thats flawed....I probably should change my thought process.
Maybe I dont need to improve at all, if they fixed the RNG, I could actually be up the top a winning player, where me and you both deserve to be, and most of the players that do well on sky, they will be down the bottom , where they belong.
When you say the RNG isnt quite right , how exactly are you suggesting its tweaked in the wrong direction ?
I ask because, I dont see how SKy can benefit from having a broken RNG, the money sky make comes from the Rake, they care nothing about the outcome of the cards .
