Sky Poker forums will be temporarily unavailable from 11pm Wednesday July 25th.
Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
I am intersested to hear peoples views on showing hands following the final action. I mean - many people interpret this as a vehicle to instigate tilt, however I would encourage a table where hands have to be shown following last action. We have loads of poker software taking advantage of opponents tendancies on other sites, but sky poker to their credit they avoid the administration of this type of software on theirs - kudos to them. However this does in my opinion obstruct players learning. Would sky poker consider offering games (to those that opt to do so) where mucking hands after the final action was abandonned so that players can learn from their wrongdoing or good moves. I am often curious what I have folded to or what have others have folded to my bet. I think this would encourage the next WSOP winner from Sky Poker. I would like to suggest a table wher showing of hands is compulsory after the final action to those that wish to do so. Your thoughts please?

I also think this sort of thing is bad for poker anyway. Being able to bluff and muck your hand @ SD is a big part of poker, and I imagine it's what makes the game so much fun for a lot of people. Sure, Sky could consider implementing it on a small scale, but I fail to see its broad appeal.
Also, 3rd party software does not take advantage of anything on any site. It simply provides data. Similar to above, that information does not necessarily lead to learning about your wrongdoings/successes.
Your opinion is appreciated
