oynutter

oynutter

Dazler

SICK I TELL THEE SICK PLLLLLLAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

GaryQQQ

What a waste of our rake.

If this offer brought a few hundred new/fishy players to the site then fair enough, but there are only 20 runners in this tourney, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them are existing players who've opened an account in a friend or relatives name.

he could have signed up via a Sky.com banner a couple of months ago.

i always find it funny how people get so wound up about freerolls.  there are so many people who have built up a sizeable roll from just £5/10.  get better at  poker and do the same then you would be able to enter any tournie you want rather than looking  at some one off freeroll with envy.

I've only played 422 ............. I was robbed !

its not about the freeroll

its about loyalty

and not everyone can sit at high stakes tables like u

for the fish, freerolls are what keep them in the game

Dazler

Its the principle of it. Its ok attractring new customers somehow but it would be nice to get something back for the loyalty by players that stay and contribute to forums ect. and just cos it says freeroll on the tin dosnt mean i dont want a part of it but as for loyal customers theres nothing. New players already get bigger bonus's what do we have? And yes we keep moaning about it cos other sites offer this and we feel we would like somthing for staying! and if we stay shtum then nothing will happen!

Can never say no to more free stuff though... Sky aren't a friend we feel bad for keep borrowing stuff from. Sky are a business and we make them money. So we should always strive to get more free stuff surely?

You may find that its sky,com that are paying the prize fund not sky poker, but anyways, good luck to them, jealousy is a rotten thing.

BlackFish3

For me, im just jealous i didnt get to take part in this freeroll lol. It would be a large prize pool for me and would of been great playing in such a small field. Oh well, lucky guys!

oynutter

1000 quid for 20 fluppin players, nearly half of whom were away is what we are moaning about scotty--I don't give a flup about freerolls, they are all poo anyway, if it attacted a few hundred new players, then great stuff-- But this is flopwit stupid innit?

Posted by loonytoons

surely not? Im jealous they got to take part... I dont really see how that is rotten. I dont feel any negative feelings towards them for having a place in the freeroll, i am just jealous that they did, jealous as in they had a nice opportunity that i would also of liked.

IRISHROVER

  well my opinion on this for what its worth is :

  skypoker made a mistake but dont we all make mistakes ,

  all you guys/gals that posted on here want this poker site to grow.

  i believe you guys/gals should use your energy in getting sky bernie to try

  what oynutter suggested .

  you will find his suggestion in :

  community suggestion section in forum ,

  thread name :

  idea to get players to stay with skypoker

  and after all this is what all us guys/gals that love skypoker want right ?

MrWh1te

without looking at the link, im guessing it involves nudity

scotty77

Mr White how am I 'high stakes' player.  usually im grinding out 50/100nl with occasional shots at 200nl plus....in fact we have played together at 30nl in the last week. i remember than hand quite well actually lol.

Springs

I don't think we can really complain too much that SkyPoker doesn't look after us, as players.

We've just had 5 weeks of TKO (the 3rd series), with prizepools of £500 per week - £800, even, one week. Plus another grand will be chucked in for the "Winners Freeroll".

Next up, we've got the "Team Poker" challanges.

Super6 freeroll every week.

Plus, regular free satellites to the big games, a couple of times a day.

Finally, the £20 games all add up to a decent sum over the year.


So, whilst there's been an lot of moaning and whinging from certain "freeroll merchants" on this thread, I think we ought to take a step back and realise we're actually treated pretty well.

GaryQQQ

Yes, I agree, we are treated well overall. A lot of the rake paid by loyal players is given back in the ways described by Springs.

But nobody can deny that this particular £1000 was squandered.
