    i just joined and found showdowns are very fast not much time and u cant really check history proply. Also i played a couple of mtts and they were both SH format does not say this in lobby HUH.

    you could equal the league points for stt out a bit more as it would give the players on a smaller budget a better chance of showing you that there are good players that play on limited resources and give the big spenders a run for there money in the league.

    Seperate levels in cash games  so you can find a game that suits you the way they are at the minute they are all lumped together from .02 .04 all the way up to larger stakes

    more 5k bounty hunters

    more MTT's with a moderate buy in eg £10 £20 £30 ect

    bin all MTT's that are under £5 or seperate them

    Seperate levels for STT's  like the Cash they are all lumped in together hard to find a game

    I would like to see if poss more £1 or £2 MTT (not just deep stacks or BH) after 6 on an evening, i work through the day and dont have a huge bank roll but wanna enjoy my poker but find it difficult as im playing at a higher level than my bankroll allows.

    One thing I would add to the site is a heads up bounty hunter format. I have played this format on other sites and it is always very popular. I think it will be just as popular among the sky poker players if structured correctly. Apart from that, good site.
    On a side note, an improvement to the sky poker channel would definately be bring back michelle orpe. It was always nice to see how other people play and have some eye candy too.

    Don't know if this has been said before but isn't the monthly league totally biased towards the cash games?(check out the stats)
    Points won for number of hands in cash v points for finishing out of a 200 field (if you finish)?
    Why not the same.....points for number of hands won in a tourney?
    Or am I missing the point??

    2 massive improvements i would make....

    1. make it possible to mute individual players!
    2. have a longer time u can sit out at a table, because sometimes nature calls and when ya get back ur seat id gone! very annoying especially when u spent the time to socialise or make ur enemies

    thanks

    Helllo,

    I am very new to the site and this is my first post.  I usually play live and have only just started online and had a few 'teething' problems (about £150 down, I think) but after 3 cashes today things are getting better.

    What I would like to see improved/added:

    1.  When you muck your cards it would be better if they disappeared rather than haunt you at the bottom of the screen screaming, "Come and have a look at what you could have won."  Maybe if you hover over your name they appear ghost like?!  When playing live I try to instantly forget my cards once mucked so not as to keep pondering over them.

    2.  Being able to make the screens bigger, although I play in mini mode! Would be handy to make the box bigger.

    3.  A 'sit out' button.

    4.  Auto launch of the table.  OF COURSE I WANT TO PLAY OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T HAVE PAID MY MONEY!!

    5.  Less fish and players that fold when I three bet/check raise/bluff.  You might not be able to fix this one.

    Hi there,
    Last week some updates were carried out on the Sit n Go, micro level.

    The 30 player  35p Bounty Hunters have disappeared and been replaced by more 10 player games.

    Ive spoken with quite a few people on the chat box, and like myself plenty of people prefer the 30 player game.

    Can you bring it back please (pretty please).

    Do your best for us.

    thanks

    not been playing on here long. basically only play £.60 and £1.15 double your money sit and goes and the odd bounty hunter. only thing i would like to say would be increased numbers of runners in DYM sit and goes. 8, 10 or perhaps 12 players.

    Brilliant site though. looking forward to any changes you do make.

    9 handed tournaments have to be added. will improve the standard of the tournaments, and they are just better, period. standard is usually better in 9 handed games too. hope this is n the pipeline. will definately increase interest in tournaments on the site
  • edited May 2010
    I think the sit and goes are very poor compared to other sites.

    I would like to see the site improved by a lot less corporate ignorance!-- When someone has a thread that requires a proper response from the suits, it should get one--- And not a --this question has been covered by sky bernie before--- When a look through his 25 post history, plainly reveals that it hasn't !!!!!

    You're so polite I couldn't imagine why you don't get alot of attention off Sky.

    would you like a nice poem instead?

     A cow will do a lot of poo

    and don't know how to use the loo

    spreads it all around the place too

    when it hasn't even got a clue!

    dont understand why people are saying to get better players, the point of poker is to make money right?

    havent read through alot of this so apolagize if its been mentioned alot before but one thing i would really like to see is late registration for tournaments.

    atleast if it exists on this site currently i have no idea how to do it but its really frustrating if you miss the start by 5minutes or so as you have a couple of interesting hands or you needed toilet / phone ringing etc. vast majority of the big poker sites have late registration normally for 1hr after it starts.

    Is it just me are does it seem like there are to many bad beats on the turn and river on this site, even the nuts on the flop doesnt hold up most times. you also get people sitting at high stake tbles with like £12-15 and just bingoing all in and never folding which always leads to a bad beat when u call with KK and he has A7 with 645 flop and 3 on turn its just abit of a joke why let someone sit at .50/1 tble with that much should be like £ 50 min buy in .

    I'll tell you the best thing you can do to improve this site is shut it down. You can tell by the chip stacks 9 times out of 10 who is going to win and even with which cards. I've recently started playing at betfair and it's a more realistic site. Sky poker is so predictable and will be getting no more of mine or my family's money. I'm one very very disappointed customer and will be doing all my gambling at betfair from now on.

    In Response to What improvements would you make to the site?:
    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?

    stop it being rigged eg seldom get full house in normal play yet inall-ins one player gets one 80per cent of time

    i personally would like confirmation that all hands are truely random and not contrived. Also for anyone chat barred , i would like them to be able to select from a set of polite phrases eg gl = good luck or i am fine etc. Otherwise people will think they are being ignorant.

    Is there any chance of any multi table SnGs, i.e a few 18 man or 24 man ones or any multiple of 6 you care to introduce?
