    still beats me how 2 and 3 outers r hit on the river so often surely if it were random this wouldn happen so much.

    Believe me, if this site was rigged, I'd have lost every penny as Sky must hate me.

    I have been banned from the chat
    I get angry on here
    I call the number for customer services angrily regularly

    You need to improve your game methinks!

    Can we have longer when we have sat out before we are kicked of the table?

    Seems to me that when I have sat out  the amount of time given varies.

    Can we have at least say 5 mins before we get kicked of the table?

    Some sort of optional limiter on what levels you can play, like the cool off function where you can stop yourself playing but for specific levels to aid bankroll management...

    I decided late last week I'd start off with £10.. play 30p/55p and 60p sit n go's and when I get to 50 buy-ins for the next buy-in up, I'd raise the stakes.
    But 2 or 3 dodgy beats in a row and variable odd's rattle round in my head, and its off to a higher stake to attempt to keep the trend going up, because surely I can't lose 4 in a row?!
    So far I've been lucky and won both of the higher staked games I've played, but the whole point of leaving 50bb's is to allow for a bad streak of beats..

    I am certain I'm not alone when it comes to very poor bankroll management! as it is so easy to enter a STT that only requires one more player to start, and while entering thinking if I win this I'm back on course towards my target..

    If some whiz could come up with a very complex function that only allows you to play in games that you set yourself for a period of time, or until you reach a number in your bankroll, I'm sure I would and everyone else interested in serious bankroll management would be grateful!

    for example.. if I decide I only want to play at 60p or below levels for 4 weeks unless my bankroll = £57.50 (50 1.15 buy-ins).. it becomes impossible for me to play games above 60p for 4 weeks, unless my bankroll is sufficient enough to move up to the next level! 

    A lot to ask for possibly a little problem but would help the fight the greedy side in most of us and promote better bankroll management on the site

    A quicker way to sit out and leave a cash table, every time i sit out and close the table it popps up again and so i havto wait til the current hand is over before exiting.

    in cash games to have a a few 50bb minimum tables coz i hate playing with short stackers.

    A "remember buy in amount" button would be great in cash and a quicker way to top up to that amount after gettin a bad beat lol

    Lastly a time bank would be great those extra seconds could be crucial in making the correct decision (not a long time bank mind!) 
     

    THANK YOU SKY!!

    I've played on many other sites in the past, mainly on stars, and the 1 thing i would change about this 1 is the inability to go full screen, or drag it to the side to do the screen split on Windows 7.

    Just a small comment. I would like to be able to use emoticons!I'm new to the site and find it quite good. I'm not sure I'd like to add more time i.e. time banks-unless it was for a shorter period than a minute-maybe 15/20 seconds. As for the avatars-I agree you should be able to download your own pictures. Thanks. I apologise if this is repeating what someone else has written.GL

    Definitely need to introduce something extra to do with our Sky Poker points.  Merchandise would  be good, as well as buy-ins to bigger tourney's via Poker Points.   Even if you charged 500 points, this would give players something to aim for, and would therefore make them play more.

    Couldn't agree more swagman. I don't know if you've seen this thread (below) but I copied an Email that I sent to Sky about this to try and get some sort of feedback, See what you think

     I would like to see an improvement of the blind structures when playing the freerolls, i am thankful for the opportunity but 5 minute levels are just a bit to speedy.
    I understand you dont want a long drawn out game.
    Im not sure if i stand alone on this point, but for players such as myself with limited funds and no bankroll it would be nice to be able to have a bit more play and let skill levels prevail.
    Kindest regards Adam.

    Have just read a bit about the Avatars that was posted last year, new to the site and this is first time to read these posts. I think improved Avatars would be great, I feel we are very limited in the ones on offer, why can't there be more?

    I would love to see some limit and pot limit 2-7 lowball cash tables and sit and goes. I know a lot of people have prolly never tried this variation before and therefore might find this a odd request, but i can asure you, if you give it a go you would be hooked. It really is a fun variation of the game. A lot of people think that there aint much skill involved due to the multiple draws, but trust me , there is.! If you have never tried it, have a go, and if like me you find it an enjoyable variation, post on here and maybe if there is enough support for it a few games might just appear on SKY POKER....!!!

    YOU HAVE GOT TO INTRODUCE A 50BB MINIMUM ON ALL CASH TABLES! IT IS A JOKE WHEN SOME SITS DOWN ON A TABLE WHERE THERE ARE 5 PLAYERS WITH FULL STACKS WHO ARE ENJOYING THEMSELVES PLAYING PROPER POKER AND SOME ANNOYING LITTLE IDIOT COMES ALONG WITH JUST 10BB AND STARTS GOING FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,ALL IN, FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,ALL IN,
    FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD,FOLD :(

    I WANT TO PLAY POKER NOT FLIP FOR STACKS!

    SORT IT OUT SKY, I LOVE PLAYING ON YOUR SITE BUT TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE BIGGER SITES LIKE FULL TILT AND POKERSTARS AND THEY HAVE ALREADY BANNED SHORT STACKERS.

    Apologies if this has been suggested already:

    I've had some cracking advice from forum users recently, and as a beginner player thats really appreciated. Perhaps the ability to rep/kudos/thumbs up those who have helped out, and the obvious negged/thumbs down/etc for the duffers lol!

    Cheers.

    We need a big monthly tournament! I realize this site is relatively small but surely we could have a monthly 50k gtd?

    What do you think?

    I think the introduction of a Sky Poker merchandise shop would be a good idea.   Players could use their Poker Points to purchase Sky Poker Merchandise, for example stress balls, pens, jackets, t-shirts etc... much like the Sky Poker Goodie bags we see on the programme.  Most poker sites have these, and I think it would give a lot of players the incentive to play more.  What does everyone think?

    Treble Your Money

    18 seater, 3000 chips, 5 min blinds, top 6 players treble their money.

    And more avatars to choose from would be nice.

    How about making the site a little quicker on joining games, very often you join a game only to find out you're too late, this does not happen on other sites such as Full Tilt, yet they have many more players online

    Sky has many double your money single table tournaments like other sites and they prove to be very popular. I would like to suggest a double your money tournament as I have only seen this on one site and it is also  very popular it would also give beggining players a chance to cash in a tournament with a lot more players in it. The value to the customer would make this a popular tournament as they will be getting a lot of poker for thier buy in and a good chance to double up thier stake at a more relaxed and enjoyable pace. I hope Sky at least thinks about this as I enjoy playing them very much.

    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
    yes, good idea. having six players around a table who look the same is crazy. Personalised avatars please.

    Also when playing, my button options freeze "fold" "check" etc.... and I can only play the game in mini view. It does my head in 8-(

    Seems a lot of people would like to see better options for using sky poker points but sky dont seem to listen ,  still the same old cheap freerolls that just turn into a all in lottery . I used to use the site almost every day but rarely do now and idid notice last night that tuesdays main 8 pm tourni prize was down to  £3000 ,  this used to be  £5000 or more . Maybe the lack of support should give them a hint  .
