Sky Poker Gameplay changes

Sky_Rich

1. All-in on a Cash Table – Cards on their backs!

 

When all players left in the hand are “all-in” and/or a showdown then the hole cards of these players will be flipped on their backs and shown to the table. The table will then deal any remaining community cards before declaring the winner as normal.

 

I.E. Cash games will now operate in exactly the same way as tournaments on Sky Poker

2. Heads Up Sit & Go Rematch

 

If you’ve ever suffered a bad beat in a heads up Sit & Go then this is your chance to get your revenge!

 

When a Heads Up Sit & Go finishes both you and your opponent will now be offered the chance for a rematch. If you both accept then your accounts will be debited and a new tournament will launch immediately.

If either you or your opponent refuses the rematch then you will be offered a standard “play again” option as explained below.

3. Sit & Go Play Again

 

When you are knocked out of a Sit & Go you will now be offered the chance to “Play Again”. If you accept, we will search the lobby for a new Sit & Go which matches the one you have just played and offer you the buy-in pop-up.

Very good - especially item 1 - this will save a lot of nail biting!

Love item 1, players may actualy think before calling your all in with rubbish(then outdrawing you)

MereNovice

I can only echo the above posts - change no 1 is excellent.
It's probably one of the simpler changes but definitely one of the better ones.
Good on SkyPoker for listening to player feedback.

very good stuff, personally like the play again sytsem, a few sites have this in place and it saves you the time to find your suitable table, this will get it for you is a great help imo

I've just had a couple of AIs on cash and I ddin't see their cards until the river had been dealt.

EDIT:  I wasn't AI tho, they were both shortstacks and I had them covered.  Surely  the cards should still be shown even tho we aren't both AI.  It is very rare that 2 players have identical stacks at cash!

Glad to see the cards flip on cash games now. At least you'll know exactly what you need/want to avoid rather than sitting and wondering!

Found out number one the hard way when I shipped all in on a semi-bluff for a stack yesterday and was exposed.

Argh!

Still delighted to have the cards flipped now though.

Same here, seen a few all ins today but cards not shown until after the river.

I like the changes, but not all players like to start another game immedietely.
At least they have the cancel button so they can have a rest between games and check the forum.

good stuff, especially liking the cards on their backs in cash games.

I play almost exclusively HU SNG's and am finding both the Rematch and Play Again features VERY annoying. I am perfectly capable of picking which games i want to play without being told...

Is there a way to disable these "features"?

Think change no1 is excellent - about time you could see what rubbish some people will call your 'all in' with.

i dont know why the cards wernt always on there backs in cash games.
