    I agree I enjoy the highstakes 10 handed tables now they are 6 h waiting lists are huge there is a lot of players use free play and real play to improve or just have a cool down or bit of fun would be nice to have tables back

    Hello all.

    Thanks for your feedback on the new software, it has been taken onboard. What I will suggest is that the new software, as with all things, might take a bit of time to get used to. So if you can continue to play on these new tables and let us know how you get on, that would be much appreciated.

    It is interesting that you have mentioned the scroll lock feature as that has been mentioned in another couple of threads and the poker team have been made aware of this, so stay tuned for any updates around that.

    Tonylamb, can you be more specific about not being able to write 'long sentences' on the new software? The new chat box has been designed responsively so that it resizes itself in relation to the size of the window. What do you think to this? Would you prefer it some other way? If so, how would you like to see it implemented?

    Thanks again for the feedback guys. We hope to gather as much as we can before rolling out the new and improved software across the rest of the tables.

    Sam.

    no warning, and no-one at sky able to say why the ten seat high stakes free play tables have disappeared or even if they are coming back. Come on Sky, these tables have a lot of regular players who also play cash and tournament play - myself included -  and have been disappointed by the unfathomable decision to remove these tables.

    I never venture on to the free tables, so is the removal of 10 seaters very recent? could you go into a little more detail? lots of new posters in this thread suggest this to me or im reading too much into it.

    10 seaters were removed from the lobby in real money games a while back. they weren't overly popular but still got players playing them. I admit I do miss them at times esp for a fun forum cash game.

    it would seem strange if they kept the free money 10 seaters after scrapping the real money 10 seaters

    why has sky removed 10 seater high bb table from freeroll lobby? also new style table is , in my opinion , extremely poor. I feel myself and others will eventually drift away to other poker sites if sky does not rectify the current situation.

    well if they have only just removed the 10 seaters from free play then they are only bringing it in line with the real money world. count yourselves fortunate you had them for as long.

    sky has always been a predominately 6 max site from the beginning

    Tintin, if you browse on the other major poker sites as I now have, the majority of them offer 9 or 10 seat tables, and this is also the case with every live casino tournament I have entered, and also every WSOP and EPT tournament broadcast on TV. The real world is what we had with tables Spirited and Jukebox, and playing on these tables helps improve your game which is why we use them.

    sky chose to be a 6 max site from day one. they did offer the option of 10 seaters here but they weren't overly popular, so they have took a business decision to remove them from the lobbies. that's up to them, I don't totally agree with their decision but hey ho, not every site offers the same as they decide what format they will run. as I said here they have aimed at the 6 max market and that is what they are doing.

    once again, the real money tables suffered the withdrawal of 10 seaters some time ago now, if the play money 10 seaters have only just been removed then that was an anomaly that I think shouldn't have happened and they should have been withdrawn when the others were.

    If Sky was a six max site from day one, then there would never have been 10 seat tables on either free play or cash, and the site has been running for a number of years now. I think Sky has not reckoned on the popularity of the 10 seat free play tables, especially as there was no warning on their decision. As another regular has posted, those people who frequent these tables are feeling disappointed due to this and other sites are being reviewed for us to move to, and this cannot be in Sky's best business interests, as we do not just play free play.

    there was no warning when they withdrew them from the real money tables either. please re read my post. from day one they were a 6 max site, later on they added 10 seaters to cash and tourney schedule, these didn't prove popul;ar, sky took the decision to withdraw them from the lobbies. all they have done is bring the free tables in line with the real money tables where this change happened months ago.

    some people miss them as I do from time to time but it was discussed at some length back when they first withdrew them. whatever you decide to do that's up to you, im just tryimng top give you some background on the whole thing

    it would be nice for sky to listen to their customer's views, especially as some of these customers have been here for years ! . I am very disappointed with sky's decision to remove the free play tables especially the 10  seater no limit high stakes "juke" and "spirited" tables. These tables provided a great deal of fun as well as a training ground and a friendly community, which sky like to promote. There seems no reason to remove these tables, and I can't see any hardship from sky's point of view to restore them, but I can see an uphill struggle to recover the good will of their customers if they are not restored.

    the reason is simple sky have aken away 10 seat
     tables so they can rake in much more money quickly from 6 seat tables the rake they get is greater for each hand played and having a 10 seat table takes longer so they being greedy just as theyhave been with sky bet they the only betting site that dont offer guarenteeed best odds they are all about the money i will take my business elsewhere from now on i will not enter any more tournaments cash tables or place a bet SKY U GREEDY PEOPLE listen to your customers i have returned plenty of customer surbeys from your selves never had a response u r just about money money dont you have enough
