Hey there guys,

i'm thinking about a new section of the forum specifically for Sky Poker's newest recruit - Omaha.

seeing as this is the Sky Poker Community, i thought i'd ask YOU the members first.

i'm thinking this new area could be your one stop Omaha stop, (strategy, advice, suggestions etc etc)

So what are your thoughts?

    not completely my idea, just picked it up from the odd quiet suggestion here and there.

    thought i'd make them slightly 'louder'

    i'm loving the fact (that at the time of typing) having an Alan Partridge area has 25% of the votes.

    btw - i haven't voted....yet

    Please start another area for Bad Beats, some people don't think their bad beats are Area 51 but they still annoy everyone!! please please please put a bad beat section up to keep them off here, either that or move every bad beat thread to area 51 alot quicker

    i am afraid my opinon  would be to differ with you on this one flash,

    whilst i can find the repetitive nature of these threads to be annoying also,

    for three reasons i wish them to stay in general chat,

    1. badbeats are part of poker general chat live or online in a regular bases.

    it is part of the "your not going to believe what that fish called me with ".

    2. the new sky poker players and posters,

     seem to firstly read / post or thread this subject ,

    in their introduction to the forum . 

    3. general poker chat is the  face of the forum body,

    and is where new players will look and use most often .

    so yep it is annoying,
     
    but i think it would be a loss for new players/posters and threaders .

    over and out roborover !

    I'm going to disagree with you, then.    :-)

    1. It's not nice (or clever) to denigrate our fellow players by calling them donks/muppets/fish etc or to mock their play in any way. People who do this definitely don't deserve to have their views show-cased in the most active board on the forum.

    2. On their first visit to the forum, new Sky Poker forum users shouldn't find a load of posts from people whinging. It would be better if they found a wider range of informative, amusing or just plain interesting posts.

    the word fish i thought was not mocking,

    i apologize if i am wrong ,

    players that go fishing for a few outers to win,

    have always been known as fish,

    in the poker world,

    all players have titles in poker tight /sharks / aggressive and so on .

    i hope this post above is not because,
     
    i dare to differ with your m8 .

    This - PLEASE. Bad Beat threads are the very bane of all poker forums - nobody wants to see them, or read them, they are wholly negative & serve no function except to the OP. People want to Post them, yes (Heaven knows why), but read them - noooooooooooo!

    Any newbie to our Community who sees a forum full of Bad Beat tales will be off like a shot. Stick them in a Board down by Area 51, so we are not plagued by them.

    Nothing depresses the Forum mood more than Bad-Beat Tales.

    An Omaha Board - yes please, NOW!

    We have lots of good Omaha stuff, & Omaha is a VERY different game to Texas. We can all contribute to each other's Omaha education, but not without an Omaha Board.

    I think they would have to be near the top (2nd to the General poker caht imo) otherwise people will not see it and come in ranting and raving on the general thread as usual. At least if its the 2nd section then they might see it, lets be honest, when they come to post bad beats they are generally not in a cool calm mood to check they are posting in the correct section

    Yes - stick OMAHA in a section on its own PLEASE. I dont play it/like it/understand it/ want to understand it.
    Same as Cash really......so stick that out the way aswell.
    And if some people can give opinions on 'bad beat' winges then I sugest you should also treat all the other poker related things with the same brush.
    I for one do not mind reading these threads as it is all a part of learning the game of poker. And IMO, most ask for advise on how the hand could of been played differently or the logic behind some calls. If all the 'poker experts' on here wish not read/advise/help, so be it but I thought this forum had some 'community' spirit?

    There is a "Poker Strategy" section for threads where people genuinely wish to learn about how to play things differently or the logic behind moves.
    A lot of good feedback is given on that board.

    People who post merely to state how unlucky they have been or to denigrate the other players on this site are not using the forum for this purpose and their threads should not be allowed to clog up the main "General Poker Chat" forum.

    I AGREE WITH YOU ROVER. IT WAS MY FIRST VISIT TO THE FORUM THE OTHER DAY AND WAS RAGING A BIT ABOUT "DONKS" (FOR WANT OF A BETTER WORD) . THE FIRST COMMENTS THAT I READ WERE FROM *FALLEN* WHO FELT THE SAME AS ME REGARDING THEM AND BAD BEATS.

    I PROCEDED TO WRITE AN ANGRY AND FINGER POINTING MESSAGE BUT I STARTED TO READ MANY OTHER PLAYERS OPINIONS ON BAD BEATS AFTERWARDS.

    I THEN, AS YOU AND TIKAY KNOW, COMPLETELY CHANGED MY ATTITUDE TO POSITIVE.

    IF NO ONE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC I WOULD STILL BE ANGRY AND ALIENATED ABOUT THE WHOLE SUBJECT. THANK GOODNESS FOR THIS FORUM NOT BEING AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT MIGHT NOT BE POPULAR BECAUSE THE LAST 2 DAYS HAVE CHANGED THE WAY I VIEW NOT ONLY BAD BEATS AND SPOILERS , BUT MY ENTIRE POKER TEMPERAMENT AND TACTICS FOR GOOD.
