Try nailing nails, much better results i find.
action tables r bad for yoru health !! no sb = WHAT !!!!
I personally wouldnt want Antes introduced into every game on sky, BUT then again if Sky decided to bring some tables in with Antes then great, this will then please the Regs who want to play this way?
For me the changes are all for the good and gives us more options
well done Sky
Yes - the idea is more choice, & a better range of products.
"Something for everyone" is the impossible dream though, it seems!
I'll work through the rest of the changes shortly, & then there will be another batch early in the New Year.
Just A thought!
If Punters are concerned about Action Tables generating unfair rake. What about a compromise to play them?
You have progressive bonuses on slots in Sky Vegas what about a Main Event bonus entry to those players achieving a Royal Flush on an Action Table?
Simples as any Meerkat would say!
The odds against the hand are many thousands to one! = Sky Happy
Main Event Entry = Player Chuffed to Nuts
WHAT DO YOU THINK??????????
There WAS a lot of noise about rebuys, but they form about 1% of the total Tourrney schedule, less even, so nobody had to play them. But some like to.
It's like "it does not suit ME, so I don't like it". A very strange thing, that inward looking mindset.
Less choice is better in my opinion, Too much choice is confusing.
While your at it can you get rid of the bounty thingys.
They are an ADDITION, not a REPLACEMENT, so no, I don't think it's unfair on anyone.
This change over others was not requested? There are numerous changes in train (some will be announced today/tomorrow/next week) which were not requested, but it's a business, & they are looking to bring in new stuff, designed to appeal - or not - to the player-base. If demand is found to be wanting, they'll revert. There was no "demand", back in the day, for BH's, or all sorts of other stuff that is now accepted as the norm here, but they were introduced because that's the job of the business - to try & keep things fresh, different, new.
"More widely requested" improvements/changes. There have been, I would guess, & if we limit them to sensible/reasonable/practical/commercial ones, 10 or 20 things persistently requested. The upgrade just done, plus Part Two of it, which is very early in the New Year, will address over 90% of those requests.
It's a moving target, but the "catch-up" is about complete, or will be by early in the New Year, but even then, changes, tweaks, improvements, additions, etc, will continue forever.
In truth, I think the Site has made extraordinary progress in the last 12 months - more so than in the first 4 years, in my personal opinion, the Download was a big step in that, as seen from the high reliability rate now - the unscheduled outages are almost a thing of the past, & the site reliability & stability is as good as any Site. That was not always the case.
Hopefully, the loyal playerbase, yourself included, will enjoy the majority, if not all, of the changes. That's all they can hope for.
more choice is more choice, removing one choice and installing another doesnt add up to more choice in my book.
I'm really not sure how "more choice" can ever be a bad thing, certainly in a successful business, one which is bucking the industry trend big time, as Sky Poker is, and has done for some time now.
In almost every case of new Product at Sky Poker, it is an ADDITION, not a replacement. FIXED LIMIT, of course, is an exception, but the uptake on FL was so close to zero that it was off (below) the scale, so that hardly counts as less choice.
Whether they are a bad idea is wholly subjective, they are "bad" in your opinion, which is abso fine.
If you prefer not to play the "Action Tables", that is your perfect right. It's Sky Poker's perfect right to offer them though.
If we could also avoid the vitriol, please, ("moronic format" is not the sort of expression we want here), it'd be much appreciated. I, we, are always happy to have a debate on these matters, but it does not need to descend to that level. Thanks.
Players will play them if they wish, or ignore them if they wish. That's their choice.
Tikay I could easily discuss this with you on blonde because there a discussion can take place, when you have you're SP hat on you have to say what you have to say and that does not lead to fair or accurate discussion just advertising/marketing propoganda.
Tell me, why does skypoker have 100/200 tables an 50/100 when no one plays them, going by skypoker logic they should disappear.
I use Tescos a lot, but I don't like their new line in baked beans, so I skip past the stuff & buy my usual brand. It does not cause me to get upset, it's a choice I can make, & others can make their own choice.
We get oodles of complaints that we have too many BH's, or that rebuys are raked. Have you seen the numbers on the Saturday night BH Rebuy? 90% GREATER than the previous NLH Freezeout! Not everyone thinks alike.
Your feedback, like everyone else's, is appreciated, but by definition, not all feedback can be used, as it varies from player to player.
I have no intention of debating it on blonde, it has nothing to do with blonde, it is a Sky Poker matter.
Ultimately, any business worth it's salt knows that it's customers have a choice, so tries to offer as much choice as possible. That pleases as many as the clientele as possible, & helps to earn revenue for the business - which is the sole purpose for which it exists.
I'll debate this as long as anyone wishes, but i'm not going to engage if it gets to lobbing insults about, I'm sorry.
I think these tables are bad for the games too. Regulars will never start these tables and once the novelty factor wares off, these games will die above 100nl. It is clear that they have been created to increase rake. But sky is a business and i have no right to object, I can take my custom elsewhere.
Also it doesn't matter how much choice there is; there is only ever a certain amount of liquidity. So If you add 1 thing, it will only take money from one part of the site and move it to another. So new changes DO affect other games, choice is irrelevant.
