Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
why do sky allow this
you see it all the time, at any 5p10p or above table, someone joining with £1.
if that is their bankroll, let them play at the 2p4p.
if there is a "minimum" buy in then let that amount BE the minimum.
if someone comes in with 100 b/bs then loses, it should be ok to top up a quid if thats all they have.
on too many occasions ive seen someone join with less than the minimum, treble up then leave.
it kills the whole dynamics of the game.
its minimum risk maximum reward.
maybe we should all do the same, enter with a £1 then leave if we win.
if i see anyone join the table im playing on with such a starting stack, i either just sit out, or leave.
if they steal the blinds at 5/10p level, they have increased their stack by 15% so i dont give them
the oppertunity to get mine.

Sky did listen, did a little survey on the forum and changed this recently!
Minimum buy in has changed from 10% to 20% of the table max.
So now you must sit with at least £2 at the 10nl tables.
Also, the default sit amount is 60%, so £6 in this case!
Although i can appreciate your frustration, there is nothing wrong with "Shortstaking" as a strategy imo, and there are other types of tables on the site like Mastercash where you must sit with at least 50bbs.
