    i would totally change the way in which the hands are dealt, into a more TOTALLY RANDOM, 100% RANDOM, sofware. because its impossalbe to become and stay a winner with any online random number generater being used to deal each hand because i, you, we all know, that you cannot possibly win every hand which is very un realistic in the sence that in online poker you have to yes HAVE TO LOSE SOME HANDS. why???? if i play any given hand i enter that hand with the thinking i am going to win this hand but for you to MAKE us lose hands due to the fact that we have.... lets say WON the last 4 hands in a row, then you give us KK or AA top 2 hands in poker and you give someone that will probably call the big/ HUGE bet that you put in pre-flop, with the intention of either giving them the nuts on the flop or a 20 outer or something and making them win the hand. this i find is an absolutly rediculas way of running any poker tourniment. it wouldnt be allowed in a live poker game of any standard. the way in which you reward the dreadful players time and time again, giving them the miricle outs they need when you got lets say AK and they got 88, flop 10QJ, and you bet a little or even check and they raise so you re raise and then the all in situation occurs and time for cards on they're backs i think brilliant not a split pot he hasnt got the same, the turn card 8, and river j. oh yes then you gotta remember you are playing at SKY POKER, not in any other game should have just seen it coming, it happens in every single tourniment i play in and my friend exactly the same thing when we are at our local or having a live game in the house or when we play for wales poker league, why we insist on still playing here is beyond us all really, but the example i gave is all this poker site is about and i think many of no ALL of you reading this will say yes you are so right. i play alot of bounty tourniments all for different buy- ins but i WILL NOT buy in for the £10 bounty any more as this is the main one that causes me to lose my poker stack as you at sky poker will not allow me to get very far at all bad beat after bad beat after bad beat in every single one ive ever played in, oh actually there was one that it didnt occur in and guess what i won that one, would you adam and eve it!!!!!!!!! when this doesnt occur i make the money in tourniments but its so hard playing here as i play 20 tounriments with bad beats before i play that one where you dont CHEAT. many thasnks mandy james

    For a long time this was the only site I'd played poker on. However over the last 6 months I've tried one or two others & came to realise that as much as I like playing here there are certainly some improvements & additions that would be great. Namely, It would be great if I could get a more detailed hand history to help me look back through hands and how I've played them. Currently you can only see what your hole cards were, community cards & final outcome. Also, variations of the game. One of the reasons I tried other sites was because I wanted to learn omaha amongst other variations. Also, better options for player points. Currently there are a couple of small freerolls to use them for but that's it. How about giving options to buy in direct to bigger tourneys or Sky Poker merchandise? One other thing I'd like is a time bank for use on the tables. Sometimes the 15 seconds you get just don't seem long enough in some situations What does anyone else think?

    dont  know  what  other  players  think  but  i  would  like  sky    to  give  u  points   for  every  rake  hand  not  every  20  hands   most  other  sites  do   any body  else  think  the  same

    Would love to see some Pot Limit Omaha introduced here, it's great fun and if there was some TV coverage on 865 would make for some great action and talking points.

    WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME 15/20 MIN BLINDS MTT 2000 STARTING CHIPS.OK SKY HAS 12MIN DEEP STACK BUT THAT IS THE ONLY MTT OVER 10MIN BLIND MARK.THE BRUTAL FACT IS LONGER BLINDS MORE SKILL IS NEEDED AND BETTER PLAYERS WILL WIN MORE OFTEN.

    I have asked this question before , but have not had a reply.
    When are we going to be able to have the option of enlargeing the table to fill the screen? Other sites do it, why not sky poker?

    let the smaller stack win a hand for once would be a better idea im off ill be using my points for freerolls but sky aint getting another penny from me
    that gareth26 said when calling my all in with 104 c v KK its all a bit of fun
    well it aint when your unemployed getting 63 a week from the dole and someone calls with rubbish and hits
    now come in TK to tell me 60/40 kk v 104c or whatever its a sham especially when it pause to go get the death card

    i would like to see the avatars change. i reckon it would make a more enjoyable, fun experience if the avatars were 3d and you could edit their appearance to personalise them.  the rest of the site i think is great! :)
    Posted by emzybabe23
    Please noo lol the reason why i chose sky in the first place is that the table layout is simple, i cant stand all the avatar animations and all that makes me feel like im playing the playstation lol, although i would like to see more avatar picture choices

    In Response to Re: What improvements would you make to the site? : Time Bank - you make the point well, imo. It illustrates the problerm precisely - we all want a bit more decision time now & then, BUT......we all get miffed when Players abuse it. A double-edged sword, if ever there was one. On balance, personally, I prefer it "as is".

    why not just make a extra 10 secs and if used you can't use it again for 10 hands(cash games) or you get 30 secs per tourney and once its gone it gone so you could use 15 secs twice or 3 lots of 10 secs (you see my point) in one tourney it seems to work well on some other sites and we all need just a few more secs now and again to think what to do.

    Assume you are buying entertainment and if you win its a bonus.  Don't put money up unless you can afford to lose it.

    On the bingo pages there is a small box which is constantly playing SSN, could this be added to the poker pages in the corner on the tables

    First post - here goes!

    I think satellite tournaments/sit & go's are a good idea.  Would be nice to see some tournaments where players could use poker points to but into a satellite, where the winner would receive, for example, an entry to a Bounty Hunter tournament.

    For example, you could start a 30 seater tournament, with a 50 poker point buy in, where the winner receives a seat to a £2 + 30p Bounty Huner of their choice.

    Currently, there must be a lot of players out there, who have loads of Poker Points but nothing to spend them on, as there are only a couple of freerolls where they can be used at present.

    What does everyone think?

    10p + 2p  TRIPLE UP  Gated to 18 seats ...all on the top table win and triple up!

    Some of us ...me included arnt very well off...struggling artist here! But enjoy an  S&G or MICRO tourney!

    BUNNY HOP...

    I once played on a site where there were , say 20-40 tables, TOP 3 BUNNY HOP  to the next table, then waited for other players to join that table!

    Not sure how this would be organised, but was brilliant in the sense that tying to BUNNY HOP to the next level was real fun...good fun!

    I wonder if you could work something out on that score! Oh and the starting stack was only 500 chips, so dint have to wait long! I loved it!

    Cheap byin to!

    So play  was brisk!
      thx! Sirfrank

    WOOPS i forgot to add, that when you hopped to the next table ...you started with 500 chips again...so you dint get players with several thousand chips ...and had a massive advantage! Was really good fun!

    Hope you think about it!

    I have an account here, but rarely rarely play, because the software client is so awful. Excluding those who multitable, having a tiny window on a modern PC with a monitor resolution of 1680x1050 or 1900x1200 is just unplayable. The software needs the table to be fully resizeable and a lot slicker - it looks like it was designed in 1994. Whether that is via a downloadable client or a simple fix to the Java code is up to SKY. But one advantage of the small resolution Java client is that it could be used on the latest Mobiles. A potential growth market is to ensure the client can also be optimised and is playable on iPhone, Android and the upcoming Palm Pre. Online Poker in your pocket from a trusted source could draw more people in. Hand Histories/PT compatability/more variations/timebank changes etc are all good and well covered already in the thread. But until the software is able to compete with the competition you will struggle to draw in more people.
