    you know they will never admit to it being a problem their end!

    had several problems not being able to see my hole cards, not great in late stages on dyms!

    reported to customer care, got the usual couldn't care less we're gonna fob you off with the standard response e-mail back, fair enough, i'll play elsewhere

    If our internet service provider can affect the action of who gets paid the pots at the end of the hand then that's great news. All I need to do is learn to hack and I'll win every pot I play.

    So either admit it is at your end, or I would be seriously worried about the vulnerability of your site!


    p.s FWIW I have no fears of hackers on Skypoker. I'm 99% sure its Sky's glitch.

    Also this seem's to happen every time there has been a big upgrade the night before. Clearly there are some issues that need ironing out after updates have been done.

    Tbf Jordan I think it happens to more than just a 'few people', its just that it takes so much effort to report stuff to customer services that most people don't bother. A few months ago I had a disconnection issue that was no fault of my own and was due ~ £10 as a refund, I emailed customer services and followed the template shown in the technical queries section but then they emailed me back about 2 weeks later requesting loads more details, so I just gave up after that. Yesterday a few times I was dealt hole cards and couldn't see them, all I could see was the board from the previous hand still. And a couple of times there were pretty big pots that were then split 6-way when it was won without s/d.

    Sky's silence on this matter is doing nothing but harm to the reputaion of the site imho.

    It could well lose regular customers over this and yet no one seems to care at all.What other little "blips" and "glitches" are in the system?
    How can anyone, for example, defend the rng as being straight when things like this happen on not too  infrequent basis.

    Very poor customer relations imho

    How about posting every hand history you can find this happening on?

    It might get some attention then ranther than get fobbed of with, it's your browser, switch it off and on, etc etc.

    sounds like they think it's just the cash tables affected. but it's tournaments as well, any disconnection, even for 2 seconds, seems to ruin the hand, and the next hand--- several times in a tournie my hole cards are face down and the previous flop stays on the table--- I have downloaded a full connection monitor, so I know the problem is in the software-- Its been happening for around 3 weeks now--- ridiculous carry on imo---- the download was "coming soon"-- two years ago!!!!

     I have complained for 2 years about the competence of the technical team-- everyone thought it was funny!---

    Hi All,

    We have been looking at this issue reported by Flashflush today, it has been identified as a problem affecting a small number of cash table hands, which was introduced yesterday morning. The issue was caused by an obscure chain of events which resulted in this very small number of cash table hands being cancelled.

    We have just released a fix for this, so do not expect anyone to experience this problem again, but if you do then please do not hesitate to contact C/Care so that it can be passed over for investigation.

    Unfortunately in order for this fix to be picked up it was required to restart all cash tables which were open at the time, hence the lobby message we sent out, which may have caused a momentary blip for some of you. If you were affected by this then we apologise but it was absolutely necessary.

    If you were previously affected by a hand being cancelled then please contact customer care who will handle your query and credit any winnings owed.

    Sky Poker would like to offer our sincere apologies for those of you affected and thank you for your patience whilst we investigated.

    Kind Regards

    Adam
