Hi Rich, Is there any chance of incorporating a hide / reveal your own hole cards button prior to action decision. As in live play this would enable players to view the dynamics of people acting before them, then viewing your hole cards and making a decision on how your going to play. I know there are ways and means of hiding your cards if you don't want to immediately see them i.e. covering the screen with your hand,post its,towel,binbag,cardboard box, the missus etc.etc. but I find this impratical, due to messing up the monitor and table changes etc. Thought I'd ask, if you don't ask you don't get eh. regards xbootneck Posted by XBOOTNECK

hi rich!! there was a tournament on here a while back where there was 5 different tournaments(no limit,limit,pot limit,scary and a deep stack i think) held over 5 nights with a points based leaderboard.the top 10 players went onto a final cash table and were all given equal amount of money to play with.after a set amount of hours of play,the leader won the top cash prize with others also paid based on where they finished.i was wondering if this will be featuring again as it was a very enjoyable format? cheers!!

this isnt Sean, but i do play (used to) at your thankfully unsuccessful poker site. ive decided to leave because your software is fixed and ive not been at all lucky on your casino.
that sounds like a random unhappy customer does it not? i think we know each other better than that by now anyway. the bad beats you've chosen, the hours on 20p a spin with no features....and in return i like to think that ive cost u more money than ive lost with u as a punishment for your site being sh?t AND fixed.
i hope ive succeeded in getting u wound up as a thankyou and returning tilt from where it was dealt and i wish u all the bad profitable luck in your future.
Remember u are going to hel for being at all biased in the first place wont u?!

hmmm, removing all my posts should tell u theres more than a lot of truth in my stories, 100% true. i have £47,000 accumulator bets and about £15's worth in total so why i would ask for my account closed is beyond me, what a little madam of a company skybet is ah?
hi rich his there any chance of getting poker points less rake hands think on the lower cash games i think its 3 points for 20 rake hands seems a lot what do u think cheers m8
hi, can anyone tell me when or if there is going to be a downloadable version of sky poker? sky poker is definatley my favourite site but i have so many problems with the software i end up playing bet fair or other downloadable sites where i encounter no probs at all. i surely can't be the only one having these problems, i think more would stick with sky if it was downloadable. cheers, scott
jst though of a tourney a bounty with quick blinds and low stack, and can we have an option to show our hand when everyone on the table has folded and its between two id like the option of throwing even a goodish hand n and being able to show i can fold them. you can on a poker site select both or just 1 of the cards so the rubbish kicker can be hidden.
hi rich, a few times now when my game has started i haven,t been able to bet because the betting panel doesn,t come up on the screen.in order to get it back i need to log out and in again,and re-launch the table,and obviously by the time i do this my stack has been seriously depleted.does this happen with anyone else,and have you any ideas why this is happening??
have you tried deleting your temporary internet files and clearing your cache? if after trying this your still having problems please start a new thread in 'technical queries' and we will try and help reslove this.
Hi Rich Could you please move my discussion named Play the Skyplayer from the genral poker chat and move it into the Community suggestions. Thank You Posted by rawhand
I have gone over my internet bandwidth allowance for the last couple of months and trying to find out what is the cause. It is either down to Sky poker which I am now playing nearly every night and for long periods at the weekend or my PS3 which I use online occasionly but nowhere near as often.
Any chance you or anyone else knows what sort of bandwidth sky poker uses?

hey there,
i'll forward your post over to a techy, who should be able to get that info for you.
To add my pennyworth. When I played a freeroll t'other day there were 2 players on my table who were absent and it seems to me it would worth knowing in MTT's - especially as the bubble approaches - how many others were away or disconnected across the tourney. If , say, the bubble came at 50 hands and there were 51, or so, players left it could be useful to know how many were actually live in the game.
