Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Some general observations
I've been playing here for about 3 weeks now, here are some thoughts and suggestions:
- This site is fun. People are mostly nice, although some need to learn how to lose.
- The scheduling of tournaments is a bit off sometimes. I like to play deep stacks, and yesterday there were barely any most of the day, but then there were 6 between 7 and 8pm. Not only run they at the same time, but also at the same time as the main events.
- More people need to play PLO/PLO8. It's so much fun, at the early levels almost all hands are playable. Unfortunately most tournaments don't attract any runners. Yesterday I played in 2 and 3 person "MTTs". Please Sky, promote Omaha. Make it cheaper, change the timing, more guarantees, put it on tv, whatever.
- Similar to above, there should be mixed tournaments.
- The freerolls are a scam, spending points I get for spending real money is not free.
- I don't like that tournaments close so quickly after they finish, barely a chance to congratulate the winner, much less discuss key hands etc. Similar I don't like the prompt to close table after being eliminated, feels like extra effort to stay and congratulate/swear at the winner.
- Sky Poker is clearly rigged, because if it wasn't I would win more often and not some luckbox playing 59o and hitting a straight, not that I'm bitter.

Sky do listen to suggestions such as new tournies/scheduling so put down your thoughts and they will take a look.

Even tho other forms of poker are fun, you can't make people play them. But yes I suppose there could be some more promotion.

Round of each would def be fun and might be a way of getting people into other games. Good idea.

The poker points can't be used on anything else. FWIW I think most other sites base their freerolls on a similar system as Sky do.

Good point

Sky is not rigged. You don't 'deserve' to win. Oh and although some need to learn how to lose contradictions ftw
Now get out there............and.....
JAM IT IN THEIR EYE!!
