If it hasn't been suggested already, a button, or checkbox, that automatically tops-up to the max buy-in on a cash table on the "Buy-in" menu would be appreciated.

I realise it's only a little bit more effort to type in the required amount in the box, but I'm lazy. Cheers.

Hi, I have mentioned this before but nothing has been done! The chat bar cards, showing flop, turn & river are illegible because of poor contrast. I have telephoned and been promised action.
I think Sky poker is great. BUT poker is all about getting an edge and Sky is losing out. The tech guys should look at other sites such as Titan where the chat cards are crystal clear.
Others have noted the same problem. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF WHAT YOUR LOYAL PLAYERS ARE SAYING.
CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?
All the best Phrank.

i HAVE PLAYED ON A FEW SITES NOW AND I AM HAPPY WITH SKY BUT THERE COULD BE ONE BIG IMPROVEMENT FOR ME. ON CASH WHEN 2 OR MORE PLAYERS ARE ALL INN, TURN THE CARDS OVER STRAIGHT AWAY AS IN A TOURNAMENT. THAT WAY YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE IN FRONT, BEHIND, WHAT CARDS YOU NEED TO HIT, WHAT CARDS YOU NEED TO AVOID,ETC. ACTUALLY KNOWING MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING THAT NOT KNOWING
IT MUST BE EASY TO DO AS IT IS ALREADY MIRRORED IN THE TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE.
OTHER SITES, NOT ALL, DO AND THE PLAYING EXPERIENCE I FEEL IS BETTER.

The main improvement that has to be made on sky p is a better bling structure for the main 9 pm tourney. I understand that the tourney can't go on all night but instead why not start it an hour earlier or even two. For every person who you may lose because they are not in from work etc, you will gain another one that has to be up ealry for work. Give the good players a chance of winning the open by building their stack up rather than fish who build a huge stack through constantly getting lucky in coin flips!! I think the binds should be at least 10 min, ideally 12 mins.

how about a tourement for older players say 65 and overit could be held at any time in the afternoon

Great shout Delta!  And we can use more for Primo like we used to be able to. Instead of set times for mtt's as well - could we not do sng tables that fill up whenever using our points with winner getting Open entry?

i'm with you - satellites to tornys would be much better value, the only freeroll worth bothering with is the £250 (used to be £1000 then £500...) and that's a 700 runner crapshoot

Ozzie08

Agreed satellites for tournys, much better than 2 hrs play for maybe £1.50 in these £20 freerolls

In Response to What improvements would you make to the site? : Some good points there silentbob.  More detailed Hand History functionality is due to be launched in the very near future; with further HH developments to follow on.  Omaha is on the development roadmap also, but there are a number of other items that we'd like to improve or upgrade with the existing site, before introducing new games.  The time bank question is also something we are aware of.  One of the considerations in televising the Open, is the need to get the tournament completed within the programme time frame.  Increasing the time bank available might require us to speed up the structure to finish before coming off air.  Not sure how you guys would view that?
Posted by Sky_Des

 how bout a new programme that introduces a burn card
 time and time again the random number generated
 programme comes up with some amazing bad beats
 and i know thats part of poker but it would eleviate the
 frustration shown by players and would hopefully generate
 more new players

Def turning cards over when all in on cash tables, so frustrating not being able to see what your up against

kimelion

hi i think they should slow the speed of the 5 cards the flop, river and turn because i think its to fast.

kind regards

I would scrap the cash for points system in favour for a purchase for point system.  Sky can do their own range of poker goodies where players can exchange their poker points for these.

Sorry if some of these have been said before, but I haven't read every post.

What I would like (including some minor but annoying points):-

 - if I have pre-selected fold I don't want to have to select this again if someone goes all-in.
 - too many times I've gone out when people get lucky when they've gone all-in with rubbish, so what about some restricted limit     games to ease this frustration a bit.
 - Can the table window pop-up when it is my turn
 - if I have pre-selected fold I don't want to have an audio alert when it is my turn
 - my window always opens in a bigger window than it needs to be - blue area on right - black area below - so have to resize particularly when multi-tabling - might be a computer setting that one
 - Finally - ban lucky straights from poker once and for all - lol

i think using poker points for goodies is a good idea !!!!!!!!!!

I notice that on this thread and on the other one specifically about freerolls, everyone from Sky has gone completely silent on this issue.

Hi Leg' I think Sky have just altered the Freeroll structures taking into account the community feedback and are going to run with it 'as is' for a while.

could we i.e the suits look at a 5k gtd deep stack ? with sats eveyday and a stert time ove 5pm sat or sun. and a bye in ove £55 just a thought sky

How about a noise that indicates it ur turn.
Most of the time i'm in front of my computer.....but occassionaly get distracted by something and have to turn away.
There is nothing to tell u that its ur turn.

Annoying when u frantically try to raise ur AA but have been too late!!

Also......... the typos in the chat are very annoying. This happens to every1 so there must be some sort of bug

    Hi not been playing long but have found it difficult to qualify for evening tourneys because they are afternoon dased 4 to 6pm when I'm at work. they allow you the gain entry if you qualify. [ cheaply ] rather than pay the full entry fee. couldn't they be staged the day before in the evening allowing you time to qualify for the next evening game. Any one else found this a problem.?

BOOTJ

i would like to see an end of year tourny for all those that have finished 1st in sky's big tournaments like the open. how about it guys?????????

Downloadable software, as browser based poker is too unreliable.

Theghooost

Hi im new to sky poker,Although i have played online for 7 years,I never bothered with sky until last week.

I think the site is overall quite good.

My main gripe is the lack of sound,Beef up the sound please.

Tournys are good,Not too big like stars and ipoker and pretty good structures.

It has made an impresion on me though,I cant quite nail it,Whatever it is i know im going to be a regular here.

Just get that sound sorted out

How about the option to make the screen bigger for those of us with old eyes !! and the text a little bigger as well so i can read all those insults :0)
Posted by TOPOPTIONS

I would like to second this.I have a 22" screen and only 1/4 of the screen is used. Quite annoying , as most sites you are able to fill the screen

rodney2007

2 improvements i think are 1.. when you get ur hands dealt why not see the 1st crad before u see the 2nd. So when u see that 1st ace there is a bit more excitment and prelongs that feelin for a split second before the 2nd card most sites deal the hands in this way. 2.. also when you start a tournament you get given your seat in no specifec way. eg i get given seat 5 for some unknown reason why not deal all 6 players a card whoevers is highest say ace high then they start with the button. oh and there was a 3rd. bring back the weekly £1000 freeroll, wednesdays i remember it being on. please please please ))))
