honest answer will do.
hi there tk and rest of skypoker,. Just want to ask,is it safe to say that all the players on the poker leauge deserve a place on lasvegas tournament freeroll just because they have more money to play than others, therefor generate more points in a percentage of cash games where as the big lasvegas tournaments are tournaments and not six table cash games? this isnt against the players there are some cracking players,im am just sayin mibi they should do a freeroll with the same structure as in vegas not as many days of course lol, but deepstack mibi start at 1 tourny finish at 10 or something,and let the guys like myself who havnt got the bankroll not the skill to compete with these big SPENDERS. thanks bumbluff ie jp.ta mate

yes the ppl who play at high limit cash do pay more rake and get rewarded in the points for cash - (also the high limit STT,s + DYM,s)
I know its been discussed before but there should maybe be a few places reserved in the priority club tourney for the majority of players on the site who will never reach these point levels but may be excellent MTT players
i would suggest picking these players from something like Mere Novices league on TSP games as the top few players have proved themselves over a number of MTT,s . Or maybe have a seperate MTT league for this sole purpose with a reasonable buy in to give everyone a chance and a good structure tailored for what Sky are looking for
So I think it's fair they get rewarded for there efforts, bit like your tesco clubcard.
Cash players generate more C4P than anyone, fair enough their paying rake every hand, and dym and STT players can get such a volume in multi-tabling 4 at a time they could maybe get 7 or 8 in per hour meaning decent rake payouts.
However mtt players dont get that oportunity. Now as someone who tried and failed at cash i know how much more difficult cash is compared to mtts, even at the lower levels. So i fully understand why these assesments are in place.
However i also feel there is little to no reward for mtt players on sky poker. Now i know this is the same across all poker sites, but maybe this is a market sky could expliot.
Then again, im biased.
Good post!
I think it's entirely fair, right, & proper, that Priority Club Members are rewarded with the various perks they get. Other sites do various "special" Rakeback deals etc. Sky Poker look after their bigger players via Priority Club. It's the same thing, but Sky Poker do it their own way. If we don't look after them, we lose them. It's not a secret, never has been, but now it's widely seen by many, people are getting upset. I'm really not sure why people seem to be resentful of the success of others.
They spend more, because they are good at poker, it's that simple. Life, sport, games, poker, reward the winners, & rightly so, that's how life is.
For Sky Poker to be successful, it has to look after ALL it's Clients, big & small. "Big" players don't play Freeroolls, they are played by the smaller" players. Do you have any idea how much Sky Poker spend per year on Freerolls, so that players with little money, &, perhaps, less sophisticated skills, get some regular poker for free?
Add in TSP - open to ALL - Total Player, ditto, PTP-themed events such as TKO & it's variants, SPT, "freebie" Comps on the Community almost daily, the Community itself, & endless support & advice to any & all players who want help, because they struggle with their game, & I honestly believe, hand on heart, that Sky Poker's overall basket of offers & Promotions is as good & fair as any Site out there.
I get, on average, 20 PM's per day seeking help, from newbies, or players struggling with their game. I answer every one. Not usually as promptly as I'd like, but they all get answered. Can you get personal service such as that on ANY other Poker Site?
Of course, I may say that anyway, I could be accused of bias, fair enough, but I truly believe that. What is more, I THINK I can prove it.
Do you have any idea how much Sky Poker's traffic & uniques have increased in....
a) The last 6 months?
b) The last 12 months?
The figures would astound you, and it suggest Sky Poker must be doing something right, when the traffic on just about every other Online Room is heading gently south right now, Sky Poker's graph is heading north, & very steeply.
You asked for an honest answer, there it is.
I hope it explains the position. Sky Poker are not ashamed that they look after their bigger Clients well. Why should they be? But it looks after ALL it's players well, in my personal opinion. There are thousands of poker sites out there. More & more players are choosing Sky Poker, everyone can see that. There must be a reason.
You can please some of the people some of the time.......but even Sky Poker can't please everyone. Even I admit that.
Take care now.
I take your point about cash players v MTT guys, but my experience suggests that good cash players can more than hold their own in well-structured Live Tourneys. Results of Sky Poker cash players in the WSOP in Vegas the last few years proves that conclusively.
Take care now.
Some people might compare him to ,a antique,the older they are the more we value them.
