    perhaps if u actually played a bit rather than just folding or shoving no matter the blinds or your stack.  I have played on the same tables as you fairly often and that is your standard move and every time you've shoved and been called you've had AA, KK, QQ etc.  it didn't take me long to work out how u play so obviously wont take others long either.  Im no pro but maybe its time for a new strategy.

    Why wait until the end of the month? Life is too short.

    GL elsewhere.

    bit harsh lads.

    30p turbos will be hard to beat simply due to the rake mate.

    maybe try different games, just play with whatever you are comfortable.

    and dont worry about spells of run bad they happen to us all. if you are struggling ask for some advice, there's plenty willing to help.

    good luck

    its not that harsh teddy, i was just having a laugh but the amount of announcments you get on here from people telling everyone how there leaving the site etc is beyond a joke, its as if the whole of the sky community should stop to a standstill or beg him to stay something, if your going just go, no need to make such a fuss about it!!!

    hehe, it did have the ring of idcu about it.

    just think poker is an emotional game sometimes esp if you've been dropping money for a while and havent had the results. we have a kareoke sesh for idcu when he leaves, but i do think people who are less involved in the community might get turned off by regs having a laugh at them when they are down.


    just my 2c

    yeah fair point ted, just cant help myself :-) theres allways the option of improving your game though rather than leaving the site if losing money gets you so emotional.

    Hi mate. How many tables are you playing? I think if you reduced your volume and table count your results would improve if your decision making is slightly-off. The games on sky are quite soft and with a little bit of effort you should be able to work out ways to beat them. If your not willing to try to improve, expect something for nothing and blame sky for your results then your doomed imo as you will not find weaker MTT fields anywhere else.

    Just looked at your scope. You mainly play SNGs with an average buy in of £0.63. You have an ROI of 4.6%. As far as I am aware this is pretty decent for DYMs? What's the problem lol?

    Teddy, I can see how my post might have come across as a bit 'dry' perhaps, but it was a genuine suggestion. If he's lost all confidence on/in Sky, then why wait an extra 3 days until the end of the month and prolong the agony?

    Loads of other poker sites he could load up and be playing on immediately. But as Ryanc7 says, he appears to have reasonable stats, so should perhaps stick with it as Sky is regarded as a pretty soft site.
