I like sky poker but am put off depositing on here as I do not like to spend a lot on poker.
and I only like playing tournaments, and the majority of tournaments are 5.75 or 11 pounds even 2.30
is a bit steep, as I don't like spending much more than 10 a week, if there were more tournies around the pound mark and even smaller buy ins I would be a lot more inclined to deposit, or even micro sattelites with several rounds for the bigger tournies would be good,

    i dont really know what to say to this, i think calling £2.30 too steep is massively tight if im honest regardless of anyones financial situation. a pint in my local is £2.65, a pack of tabs in my local shop is £8.00 odd so i think anyone looking for a game of poker for a few hours fun for £2.30 is getting a bargain.

    Furness Railway Wetherspoons in Barrow £1.70 carlsberg/john smiths/strongbow, best away day ever lmao

    £2.20 for a tournament is not steep. If thats too steep then play the £1.10 19:45pm Deep Stack.. The buy-ins are fine for every tournament i think, Guarentees almost always met and smashed for nearly everything. Sky do a fantastic job in balancing them, only one that doesnt really meet/smash the Guarentee is the Saturday primo.

    Don't forget there are free roles everyday! Can get into £11 tourneys for free and buil up a bank roll. If want to play more and only want to spend £10 a week why not do a week of free role ten following week you got £20 to try your luck at the tourneys and spin it up! Start small and may the odds ever be in your favour ;)

    On the beer front, I live in Scotland and yet to find a pub that is under £3!! But you can get some bargains on the whiskey :)
