How do you think they compare?
Sky's my home and I far prefer it to others.
I like the forums. I like the structures. I like to watch similar on ch865 24-7 when my bankroll's bust.
But I can't be the only tart to have flashed their knickers at the big boys? You'd be mad not to take advantage of all the welcome bonuses (and I got none here because I'd been a member of SkyBet for years Sky!!! Grrr).
I like the way my avatar can be a donkey on Full Tilt. I like the way I can change it's expression. That's cool. The 9 handed tables tend to play into my tight-aggresive style too. At times Sky feels like the biggest bluffer wins. Maybe Sky could experiment with 9-handed tables?
Willie Hill's alright but gave me a £5.5K limit straight off. And I was drunk. Not good.
Surprisingly I haven't done PKR yet. But will. Apparently to look at your cards is a tell there and it's as close as you can get to live pkr. Which doesn't impress me.
Titan gave me a decent welcome bonus and soon as I joined I had some admin dude corresponding with me one on one which I thought was a nice touch.
The only reason I'd leave here is if the stakes weren't big enough and that's at least 6 months away :-)
I'm sure I've joined more when Sky won't let me deposit anymore of a Saturday night.
Your thoughts. (Sorry Sky but this could be a learning curve?)

the reason for this is sky's the best of the bunch and a lot safer than other site were you can have more than 1 account at least here i know i am playing really people all the time and not bots.
well done sky best poker site and forum on the net by far
Sky Poker do have 10 handed tables if you look about and the (I think) Tikay Sleepstack is a superbly structured 10 handed tourny.
I was also a bit miffed on sign-up not to get any bonus since I'd had an inactive account on Sky Bet for years (hint hint Sky_Dannip ;-) ) - but who needs free money eh?
Personally I'm not interested in making my avatar's expression change or having different backdrops. If I had my way on a 6 seater we'd be black squares on a grey background and named P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 in fact it would look so depressing you'd just go all in every hand until the misery was over... ok, maybe not.
And finally, which other site has ch 865 with Tikay, Rich, Lisa-Marie, Ed, Sarah, etc etc?
So I have 4 sites to choose from, but I play at least 95% of my poker on Sky, in fact I'm considering withdrawing all my funds held on the other sites. So why Sky? There are two main reasons, I like the whole community package, TV channel, forum, presenters active on the forums and playing at the tables, etc. and I have a better ROI here. Also a factor now is that my game has adapted to 6-max tables, I'm not at ease now going back to 9 or 10.
I love the six handed game, im strong over a six handed table, where im weak 9 - 10 handed.
I love the set up of the site, the people on the forums (fair enough some non-forum players do my head in but that happens everywhere and is far worse on the bigger sites).
I like the fact everyone tries to help new players, i remember when i first came to sky and i was a serial limper, now ive stepped up my game big time. And ive even improved as a person thanks to some adivice. Im calmer on the tables, and less likley to explode, as a result my tilting habit has got better.
iv been drawn in by big guaranteed (100k)
and jackpot sit n gos on the i poker network, but the truth is, although sky poker does not have the traffic/big guaranteed tourneys and software as some of the big sites, i always return to sky once i get bored..
the forum/community here on sky along with 865 viewing is second to none... i have played more or less every day here on sky since i joined in December 07....
like tikay reminds me every time i have a whinge.. there are pros and cons to every site (including sky)
the pros of sky poker way outweighgh the cons and is by far my favourite site
Never mind it's probably saved me £33 the way I run on here of late.
