    Ii disagree it makes it difficult to envisage ur playing style because people are being added all the time. if you cant ghet to the table to register b4 the start of game wait for the next one. Thesae bigger sites do this i believe just to generate income it spoils the poker]

    Hi Bestcards,

    Unfortunately, we are unable to create a tier system due to the sheer amount of players we have on site and the amount of tournaments running.

    We do, however, have a number of satellites running into the major tournaments so the "better" players can make their way into the tournament. This doesn't stop people buying into the final/semi-final though I am afraid.

    Sorry about that.

    Hi

    I quite often play multi tables, but can only see one table lobby at a time.  The new option to resize the table lobby is really usefull to fill what screen is left, but is there any thought to have more than one lobby open at the same time.  This would be especially handy in mtt's so you can keep a track of how many players left against how many cash and what the cash payouts are.  Can be quite hectic when playing 3 or 4 mtts and getting close to payout time.

    Also, if we can resize the table lobby, is it in the pipeline to resize the game table window as well?

    Thanks

    My understanding is that the two weekend freerolls are being given a rest for a few weeks.  I think Sky are doing an excellent job, especially with the introduction of the daily Vegas Points games where players can final use some of their accumulated points to try and win a seat in the WSOP main event.

    They have also introduced new tournament games, with guarantees, and making changes to the 5p/10p cash tables max buy-in after listening to their customers comments on the forum.

    im new to this site and find the omission of a fold to any bet option annoying particularly when muti tabling as you have to act out every action on every hand you play, if you know your beat in a hand and want to chuck your cards in and concentrate on better opportunities/critical actions on another table it's frustrating having a table pop up half way thru  hand.

    I agree, a lot of other sites have this option and is highly frustrating when mult-tabling at not having an auto fold option

    Something that would be useful is when you quote a post you can still read posts from the thread, as sometimes you start writing then forget your point and need to look back to see the OP hand etc.

    And yes I am thick. :)

    Be nice if the forum keeps you logged in too.

    I tend to have it open most of the day/night whilst i'm working and playing but if i've not posted for a while it logs me out again.

     Actually i've now realised why this may not be possible due to our account details being at the top of each page.

    a major improvement for skypoker would be that you can create your own private tables with your friends and also have a friends list so that you can see when they are online.

    Hi Bigal118,

    This has been mentioned numerous times now and is something we will be incorperating. However, with it being such a big project it will be a number of months before it is available I am afraid.

    Thanks,

    I will try again
    Following my post 22/1/11 (page 42) still not answered can I suggest the following.

    1) Auto top up for Cash. This is a must have it has been mentioned many times and should be standard. Reluctant to play cash again till this is up and running.
    2) Forget late entry to tours not a major issue lol
    3) Table re-sizing. Again this should be standard. Its a pain playing 2 tables in standard view (I don't like the mini view) as no room for a lobby up or anything else. The vast majority of players on here will not be multi screening this is a must have IMO.
    4) Synchronized breaks for Tourneys. I would like to multi tour but wont as need a screen break every hour. Again I feel this is a must have.
    5) Some £7 -£8 tourneys would be nice, see last post.
    6) Intro of 35/70 blind levels, see last post.
    I know I have added some on lol.

    Thanks Ray

     for a start i would like it not to be fixed, because in opinion this has got to be the worst of them all for it ,reason for this is the site is only letting the big money spenders win, and not the little fish i have been playing tonight for over 5 hours, and have noticed the same people are winning hands they should not really stand a chance in. one person done this for the whole time i was at the table and he went for £20 to £100 pounds playing 2 and 3, and beating ace king more than once. So if you could could you please let the little fish win sometimes it would be nice. end or rant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi guys,

    In response to a few posts, I can assure you our site is not fixed. We are regulated by the AGCC, details of which are at the bottom of our website. All our hands are produced using random number generators.

    Hi a00rock-Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
    The auto cash up suggestion is a valid one, however, this kind of thing requires a major update on our site and therefor could not be implented until we have a site upgrade. I will let you know if this is due to happen in the near future though.
    The table re-sizing was changed on the last upgrade to sizes that were popular at the time. Due to the use of flash etc on our tables, these are deemed to be the best sizes for our poker players.
    Most of our tournaments have a scheduled break every hour which seems to be popular amongst players I am afraid.
    Due to budget etc our tournaments are currently set to give our players the optimum opportunity to play tournaments with a number of different buy-ins. This means, some buy-in amounts are excluded at the moment. I will pass your query of £7 buy-ins on though so when a new tournament structure is released this could be implemented.

    Hi Blankcheck-Thanks for the post. I have passed this suggestion forward to see if this is anything we could do. If this is to be implemented, I will let you know.

    Thanks as always,
    Jordan

    Sorry if these have already been mentioned, I havent managed to trawl through all 45 pages of suggestions.


    + Resizable tables


    + Tables that play 9 handed


    + SnG's that play higher than 6 handed


    + SnG with multiple tables, ie 27, 45 entry sit n goes.


    + On demand time banks.


    I understand the skypoker community is kind of small in relative terms, but it you create spaces for more players with opportunities for higher ROI Sit and goes, more players may well come.

    Hi everyone ,just new to the site (since xmas) and while i find there are a lot of positives on this site i believe one improvement cud be the payout's or rewards on MTTS. i played 1 a few nights ago with over 360 runner's ...finished in 13th place and basically only won my buy in back. For a begginner and low stakes player like myself i felt quite hard done by, especially after hours of play...and luck lol. Just a suggestion but maybe looking at prize structures ie entry into bigger tourney's for top 25 etc ....thanks :D

    I know my posts are banned from public view, although i do think i have served my time and realised my mistakes, But i would not Change a thing on sky you have got it spot on. The main reason i keep coming back is starting chips you give so much value it takes away the bingo player that you get at other sites.

    I am registered with 23 other sites and i cannot believe they are still going down the 1500 starting stack route, it just does not give you any "Play Time" thanks sky keep it coming.

    PS. Please let me post again i will behave.
    PPS. oh yeh Bounty hunter sit n go why not make them 12 player so you get two full 6 tables more rake for you more in the prize fund for us.

    I have noticed recently that new players to the site got a £5 tournament entry which has now been raised to a free £10 tournament entry. As someone who (sadly) has to reload more often that i would like (!) it would be nice to get some sort of bonus for doing so.
    Most other sites offer you matched deposits (albeit some with playing requirements) but Sky give you nowt. The software is obviously in place to issue torunament tokens so why not add a tournament token to the value of 10% of any deposit - that way its not actual cash Sky are giving away but it is a reward for keeping on the site.
    I realise that all the winning players wont benefit from this and fingers-crossed i wont have to again either...but i somehow think that even if its a long time in the future, i would at some point!!

    * Attenion Sky Suits, if you think it is a feasible idea, feel free to add token to my account anyway!!

       Sorry but you are going to say that about your site, yet again i haVE PLAYED TNIGHT AND AM OUT OFF POCKET, im not that bad of a PLAYER to lose every time i play, but on your so called fair site, i have . also i been watching when not palying and the hands that seem to win are the one's that should have been folded pre flop even when someone has raised more than 2 big blinds. I have ben on this site for over a year and i have seen the same people win all the time weather on a cash table or in a tournament, this i see on the tv channel also, so i beleive you know who wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
