I have to admit as much as I like playing poker with sky it has turned into somewhat of a frenzied bingo hall most of the time. I think that this is due to the fact that the high level of bad beats and what seems to be rigged hands.
It certainly has taken the skill factor away from playing poker, some players, which I can't blame them due to the hands that are dealt treat it more like a game of snap rather than a skilled game of poker.
I personally think that Sky have to do something about this due to the high number of other poker sites out there. I don't wish to deflect permantely as I like the sites layout, it's basic and it works (I'm not into the surrounds of a poker table and wearing flash suits etc...) - but surely someone has to agree with me out there with what I am trying to say?
RNG = Alot to be answered for!!
Major changes, include getting omaha(H/L) and a few other games.
Being able to see peoples mucked cards when at showdown would be nice, but people can have differing opinions on that one, so if you wanna keep it the same its fine as i understand its a marmite thing.
Bigger variety of tourneys throughout the day, at the time of writing, its a saturday and 12.45pm and you currently have 2400 players on your site and the biggest tourney you have is an 11 buyin 300gtd bounty hunter which isnt til 6.30pm!!!! WAKE UP! is it too hard to have a 2k gtd 25 buyin tourney at 2/3pm, u only need 80 players! out of 2400, and if if gets enough interest u can increase the guarantee accordingly.
Heads up cash rake is too big, you chargea MINIMUM! of 12p a hand at the .25/.50 level which is pretty ridiculous.
Filters at the top of the page, having them at the bottom just doesnt make any sense for obvious reasons.
And finally, even though i dont play em, the russian roulettes just go to show what you think of your players. Charging 10% rake for a flip when you can play a proper heads up match for 5% rake, cmon guys, are you serious. At least try and make it look like your online poker site is run by someone who knows about online poker.
Oh and get a client!
I want to see a P+L on each card you use, SKY dont want this, they dont want it because people would slow down if it was obvious how much they were losing.
All gamblers will carry on, but sometimes when the loses are glaring at them they stop.
You swear on here or dont pull in with the clique,emails sent and their on to you like a ton of bricks.
SO RICH,,
HOW ABOUT ANSWERING,,
THE POKER POINTS QUESTION
AND LETS SEE A P+L SECTION FOR EACH CARD USED.
Sky go on about responsible gambling,,lets see it
When 3 winning players are left standing at the end of a 'Double Your Money' SNG it seems pointless continuing to see who finishes 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
I realise that the Poker League points are awarded accordingly, but the vast majority of players at these tables are not in contention to win a prize in the league and would rather just move straight on to their next table. The sole aim of a DYM table is to finish in the top 3, 1st is no better than 3rd. I would suggest that as soon as 3 players are left remaining the league points should be equally shared between the 3 and the table closed . This would benefit Sky Poker too because players would be buying into another table instead of wasting time participating in the pointless battle for 1st position.
a very very good point,,,altho i am on the cusp of the race, i would still just shuv all in.
by the way its a 10/11 shot. not evens

IN PRIMO TONIGHT, MAYBE LAST TOURNEY FOR ME ON HERE, JUST WAIT FOR POINTS MONEY END OF MONTH, AND OFF
I also think that combined with a few tournaments with the option of limited re-buys in would add another dimension to the site. I'm not a great fan of these but I like playing the occasional one as if I make a mistake early it gives you another chance and can boost the cash on offer. Plus those who play a bit to aggressively (if that is possible, u know who I mean the ten high all in pre-flop people) often double people up.
I also really enjoyed it a while ago when a number of different tournaments e.g. scary, deepstack etc and points were awarded and the top scorers were entered into a free tournament. I can't remember what it was called but it kept me interested all week as I started well in the first one (top ten finish) and then found my normal form so I didn't make the final cut.
On final thing I think you should be able to gamble your poker points with each one worth one chip and have some decent high value freerolls e.g. 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 points entry with say a £5k pot. It's very easy to build points up but difficult to get rid of them, this would be a way of letting players gamble points with the chance of getting into a high value freeroll rather than plod away on freerolls with 100 point buy in's. Even if you get in the top 100 (from normally over a 1,000 entries) you get less than a a quid. Most of the time my points just build up as I make more than I can use and often can't be bothered playing freerolls in which the majority of people play a loose game as it means nothing to them. This could be played in any format and would give someone a enjoyable game to play with a potential point at the end of it.
I hope you think this is useful, skypoker is my favourite overall site but with a few changes could become the only one I use.
is there a way of fixing this by the way or is it porbably down to browser software
i think the double your money sngs at lower stakes such as £1+15 and £2+25 should be 10% rake just like the rest of them especally on thease because you you dont come close to doubling your money, also i think sky poker should do double you money turbos with a 5% rake like other sites do
Also for cash game players at miro stakes there should be a 1p 2p games, i dont play these tho because theres too much luck involve at micro cash levles :-)
does any 1 else aggree ??
Gonna keep posting untill i get a reply beacuse i think the rake needs to be changed!!!

Is there any place Ican see the blind tructure for a particular tourney, and if not could it be made possible?
normally 1 min or 2 minutes , [ note its a once off for the whole mtt ]
this give one the chance to decide on, call down all in moves or mtt decider .
Please look at other sites where the chat bars are crystal clear.

maybe 2 per tournament max so it isnt abused though
There seems to be a lot of requests for a time bank that wont be abused to be introduced. On this subject perhaps introducing time outs would be better maybe 20 seconds with a max of 3 per tournament. They would have to be requested and are unlikely to be used to run the clock down in qualifiers.
