Regs killing cash games?
They play across all levels, never really play hands unless there premuim hands, and there playing literally all day. I find these players really boring and i honestly do feel that they ruin the site. I dont understad why they play all day yet dont play a hand.....until another well known player on here told me that they do that because they earn cash for points and that will equal more then there profits for the month which i think is patheitc as its a poker site made for playing and improving on poker. Just losing motivation as i liked sky but now its not very appealing to play with these players and know there never really play a hand s there no point even getting kings or aces etc.
I get that every site has these players but its proberly made worse because sky has a low volume of players i just think its killing the cash game version of the site abit and its a shame

As anybody else, they are free to play however they see fit and if it makes them money, fair play to them.
If you choose to play differently, it's up to you to find a way to exploit their style and make money your way.
reg's play at all the different game types,dym h/u, tournies,etc.
there's virtually no way of avoiding them.
you can table select which helps but even better is to match them if you can and then there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to make some money.
at least that is what i have always tried to do.

If you know that they're really only playing big pairs and AK, then this should be super-exploitable for you. See flops with connecting hands/low pairs and try to hit big. If you don't, then it's easy - Just give it up.
Do that and you ought to take these tight regs to the cleaners. You'll win the blinds alot, lose small pots and win big ones.
If you're playing a tight range against other players who are playing tight, then you're not taking advantage of them at all. You're playing their game.... So open up your range and play in position.
make it easy for yourself and table select better and improve on playing versus REGS by exploiting them
or except playing REGs is too difficult and play easier cash tables - you have a choice
I know everyone can play how they want and as many tables as they want but the low numbers on sky compared to others just mean that iiterally 6 tables of the same players.
I only play one table and im still bored of playing against the same people. Iv opened up my range before but its a different style to how i want to play and i end up becoming very loose and spewy, and then i think why did i do that? and its because its the same boring nitty regs im playing against,,,,,winning theblinds gets abit boring after a while.
Im not moaning about these players styles its up to them but its just notvery appealing to play the same players everyday when the game s really tight
my post was saying that sky isnt a better place for having these regs
Just drop down to NL40 or NL30 mate or play 2-3 tables of NL20.
The regs generally make their living at NL50 and above.
ps. Every site has regs!!!!!
pps. I have an inkling Tommy plays a few more hands than AA,KK and AK..........
no please dont get me wrong im not saying what people should do.....i just enjoy playing against different people. Its a fair point that the fact i dont multi table proberly means i get bored quicker but dunno this morning i see the only free table and it was full of regs and after about 20 mins i was just bored of the game, jsut think its the same thing all the time really, but like you said that how there making there living so maybe i should just shut up
Lets say the current 'regs' all left. Within 2 days of tables full of randomers, the winning players would soon think "wow this is easy money, i'm gunna play more" , and thus themselves become the 'regs'.
That's actually a really good point, when I first started playing here I thought it was contributed.
But at the sametime, the more tight the table is the less flops are seen.
For example I would get the same amount of c4p for nl10 that I would for nl20, simply because we was seeing more flops at NL10.
yeah but no but !
Does encourage people just to sit around picking up rakeback !
Believe me I should know )
It's basically saying, I don't like what's going on here cos I can't beat them. You just got to learn to adapt, and come to terms with the fact against these type of players, your aim is mostly going to be winning lots of small pots, cos you're not gonna stack them very often unless it's a cooler. You said you get bored of just stealing the blinds, but these people are getting their money in with the nuts (or close) so you won't stack them as often.
Poker is all about table selection and adjusting to your opponents style, if you can only one table does that suggest that you're playing beyond your bankroll capability? If you want action play a hu game. Jeez.
For the others my point isnt what they do and beating them and how they play etc!!!!!!
its the fac they have like 14 tables open and are not playing hands there ust earning the cash for points and thats the money there earning.....surely you cant agree thats fair?
Plus when you have your monster hands you no your never get paided cause there fold, there just there for the points
