any chance the spin up tables can removed from the 'Regular' filter, they're clogging up the lobby imo and why on earth do we still have pot limit and capped tables? Posted by sikas
agreed with sikas, hate the introduction of the spin up tables as theyre killing regular games but understand there is demand for them so not expecting them to be removed. imo they should be kept in a seperate tab as they arent a 'regular ' game, its a seperate game format and should be categorised as such
The volume on this site has been progressively decreasing recently and the introduction of these tables has only made things worse. They are not the correct direction to be taking the site as before long many of your regular players will have moved on. I have spoken to a few friends about this and honestly we are all looking at other options currently, at the very least these tables should be completely separate in the lobby.
Usually only 1 table playing at each level. When i try and start a 2nd table often give up. Therefore 6 people down shouldnt really be affecting volume?
Sorry if your edge is blunted and you dont like them. Nice for me to have a chance to profit at cash.
Personally I only play these or capped. If they didnt exist i wouldnt play cash at all so you are not losing vilume from me.

That is incorrect.
Seasonally, it always declines at this time of year, in fact July & August are the nut quietest times for all European facing Online Poker Sites, Sky Poker included.
Year on year the volumes at Sky Poker have increased significantly this year (double digit %) & the site is busier now than it was at this time last year.
We are taking your comments on board - we purposefully didn't have too many tables highlighted in the regular lobby so as to not 'clog' it up too much. They do have their own tab already - it may be that we decide to stop highlighting any of them now that we have introduced them for the first time. Some people like them, some people don't! The last thing we want to do is frustrate regular and loyal players. Next week we will make a decision on this as it is clearly a big talking point.
There's no point creating its own tab, players won't play it. I've played Spin Up nearly every day this month, and unless the game is highlighted it wont run.
Poker needs a fun game, quick and easy to play like this. It's removed a handfull of fish from the regular tables, thats why everyones complaining, Poker's a changing game, it's moving away from the multi tabling grinders, that doesnt appeal to recreational players. If you remove it that's a big shame, as i think you've got somthing good going with it.

Nobody is asking for them to be completely removed just a separate filter or possibly limit them to one or two per stake, the very nature of these game would mean a player waiting to join the game wouldn't be waiting too many hands to get a seat. At the moment they are just clogging the site. Its very frustrating joining a waiting list for a table thinking its a standard 6 max game then it opening and its actually a spin up table.

This may be true for the lower stakes but in my opnion it seems that the addition of these games will only lead to a decline at volume for the higher levels.

You may well be right Barry, but if they fail to do their part in the overall site performance, they'll be removed. If they help the site overall, they'll stay.
It's quite important to try & cater for all tastes.
I'm with Alfie, I play for a bit of fun and these tables are definately more fun than the borefest of multi-tabling nits on the regular cash tables If you dont like them dont play them, easy as that. Rake isnt a factor for me or most other recreational players, we either win (or more likely lose) but Im not about to start multi-tabling for rakeback so who cares

Makes a lot of sense from your standpoint, thanks for the reply Tikay
Can we have a filter to remove these awful tables from the lobby? So annoying when I accidentally join one of these instead of a proper cash table. Thanks. Posted by WotMalluDo
