Greedy sky...
As predicted the rebuy greed continues.The 2235 our last bastion of hope for cheap friendy games where good players get knocked out and can't buy straight back in.
How many people asked sky to turn this 1 quid game into a rebuy... considering apart from one expensive velocity this was practically the only speed game that wasn't a rebuy.Come on now anyone, anyone at all.
Average players on this game was around 100: last night a rebuy 50 players.GREED GREED GREED.
When sky introduced rebuys they said it was to give players a choice.....spin and more spin now practically everything is a rebuy velocity's, even bounty hunters.
I am now predicting the timed games will morph into rebuys within 6 months....GREED GREED GREED.
Without attracting new players this site is history put the 2235 back to non rebuy and drop the garuntee to 75 quid you have done that with practically every other game.
Some people have been here long enough and stayed long enough to remember what you said when you introduced rebuys.,
PUT IT BACK TO NON REBUY STATUS.Give the amateurs and bankroll restricted players a game.
Frustrated........ you are not the government you are a business...... lying to your player base is the start of the end.
I here by start the save the 2235 before it is tooo late campaign.
Let player power FORCE sky to change the 2235 one quid speed (all noobs and fish welcome friendly game) back to non rebuy.,

PS This is a genuine gripe and not repeat not because i lost three quid rather than one quid playing the 2235 game last night
SAVE THE 2235 power to the punters.

You are upset because they have now introduced them into the Games you like playing. Players complained about BH when there was lots of them, but now they have found the right level for the players that play them. I was not happy when they changed DYMs but now have to agree it was for the best. If the majority want them, then it will prove its self by the numbers that continue to play them. Should I find myself in a re-buy game I never re-buy, my protest. I have watched players re-buy several times and still go out before me. Others will go on to cash. ? Change is not always appreciated at the time but Sky is a Business and as such should be evolving all the time, to stand still is to stagnate. This is not the place to post your concerns regard changes. Players, do have a voice and that comes at the tables. .......... "If players don't like the structure of the Games Sky have changed, then they won't play them." Sky have to take note.!
It is unreasonable to expect Sky Management to ask us every time they implement changes. fwiw Hugs Annie xx
Or are you simply paying direct to pot?
However; I would like to ask you, why don't you play Poker anymore on Sky, yet surf the Forum. ? Curious !
I move my roll around alot and have a habit of being a bit of a flamer. But Live has always been my preffered format.
I pretty much only play MTT Guarentees online these days and S + G's. Sky offers virtually zero s + g's and the value on the MTT's just arent great. I am neither patient or intrested enough to commit to online cash, which pretty much equals not being good enough - as they are key elements.
But also have never been afraid to say I have some healthy skepticism in online poker as a whole for a variety of reasons - none of which are worth going into.
But at the same time I think that as an individual site Sky is lacking in a few things in terms of software, but they are being addressed.
But as a direct answer: Posting has massively improved my game and reinforces a few aspects of my lines. Have stopped posting for periods of time and have had quite a few people contact me and say they've found some of my input helpful. So it seems there are people that take something away from it & it helps my game....direct answer :P
But as far as a community of people go its the best there is. I do play the odd MTT here still and will continue to do so.
already posted in a different thread but i am still moaning that they turn the £1k velocity £5 freezeout into a £200 £5 rebuy.
the original game got a regular 6/700 runners
the new game gets 20/30 runners.
but there is the rake on the rebuy to consider i supose.
i may be wrong but i dont know of another site that charges rake on a rebuy?.....thats why i wont play them on here.

The only thing we have left that is free is opinions and freerolls and even they are not as free as i would like.
Yet again i will re-state my case Please reinstate the 2235 as a non rebuy the site does not need MORE rebuys as it has shed loads of them.
No animosity just a request.
