    in my opinion which is worthless a may add.

    sky has a full mix of players, fish sharks minnows and the odd whale

    however what makes us different from the rest is, what fun we are lol, its a great place to learn the game and earn a bit of cash

    Also if you get stuck with anything, theres 24hr live online customer service or you can just go to the community and place a question on the forum...

    Welcome to SKy poker

    it is a good idea to have a couple rolls on a couple of sites.  sky has a really good mix of games but it does lack in tournies IMO and bigger networks have a far wider range.  you can also play other forms of poker on other sites too which can be fun.

    there are fish on every site. i would imagine that on the whole this averages out across every site.  there might be some tougher games on some networks but on the whole it doesn't really matter.  if you are a good player then you will be a winning player, as long as you table select and play to your strengths.

    well you will get fish in every site m8y,

    but i hope you have got a big rod,

    because there is a lot of sharks on here as well  ,

    so beware you may just catch a shark on that  hook of yours ,

    and be dragged in to the sea and gobbled all up lol.

    enjoy skypoker its tops,

    and gl on the tables .

    Beware those who say stuff like "a site full of fish". If that's the case, why aren't they here 24/7 and filling their boots?
    Phrases like that are usually said by people who think they are much better than they actually are.

    There is a big emphasis on tournaments on this site, probably more than any other site. This emphasis on MTTs brings in the casual players who have a stab for a fiver or tenner. These very occasional players lead to many of the inventive bad beats you read about.

    Been playing here since january, previously played on many sites and the standard is just the same except it is a mainly British mentality which helps (no daft scandis)

    And very friendly bunch

    You won't find anywhere better than sky poker buddy!! if you start listening to all the moaners who think sky is rigged and the bad beats are more than any other site and it's full of fish etc etc ...... certain things are guarenteed to happen to you!!

    1. You will be a mental health patient within a very short time!

    2. you will be sent to area 51 and once in no one ever gets out!!

    3. You will miss out on using probably just about the best poker forum anywhere on the net!

    4. you will not make any new good poker buddies!

    5. you'll end up on another site probably getting ripped off

    6. you will not see the comedy duo that is Tikay & Champ -  has to be seen to be believed ;)

    7. No other site does freeroll tournaments for people posting one word replies to other peoples posts ;) ( cheeky )

    These are just a few examples of why you should not listen to these strange types and just go with the flow and enjoy sky poker! everywhere you go people will always whine about this site being bad that site being bad etc etc. Best thing you can do is ignore them play it get involved in the forum and i would be very surprised if you ever looked back!!!! Hope this answers your questions or doubts about sky poker ;)

    The best way to stop them fishing is to take away their bait, if you believe you have the best hand raise it enough they can’t afford it. Don’t check don’t bet just raise raise and raise again they soon get the idea not to fish against you. Good luck keeps with skypoker

    Have only very recently joined and started playing but standard doesnt seem any different from any other site, certainly no worse anyway. Only played very low stakes so far (30p DYM) and is a mix of good and bad players. Seems a very friendly site though and am enjoying reading these excellent forums.
