    Hi Mumsie,

    No, it would not be against any rules as far as I am aware.

    I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, & I've posted elsewhere of my view on the posting of photographs, but we are stuck with the system for now.
     
    They were very busy in Head Office yesterday what with this & that (but no other), & I believe several of them - rightly & deservedly imo - went down to the EGR Awards* last night. So a bit strapped for time, &, of course, "priorities".

    *EGR Awards? EGR - European Gaming Review. EGR are a trade body for everyone involved in providing Online Gaming. It's sort of like the Online Gaming OCSAR's or MOBO's. Sky Poker - & the other arms of SB&G - were nominated for several categories, so I hope they took a nice big carrier bag down to bring the trophies back home. John Terry was probably there, too......

    If the image isn't approved then it will be removed from the opening post, so right now it's still awaiting approval.

    I'm as intrigued as anyone as to the answer, incidentally. The forum needs threads like these (& photos to be approved promptly....) and people like you who make an effort to keep the forum buzzing. It belongs to the players, so it behoves us all to make an effort to keep the place cheerful, to balance out the inevitable chuntering.

    Anyway, you mentioned "famous battle" so I reckon you were playing Noel Hayes, who, as you probably know, was a multi account purchased by Brian Hastings. Quite a story that......

    Only about 30 years or so ago I used to get Crash Magazine (no, not one of those magazines before you say)
    It was for the mighty ZX Spectrum.
    They used to review all the amazing games on the machine. Elite, MatchDay, Jet Set Willy etc
    They'd rank games out of 10 based on different categories.
    Graphics 9/10
    Sound 7/10
    Playability 8/10
    Overall 9/10
    That kind of stuff.

    How would Sky rate on these sort of things?

    No comment.

    Except

    Im in the exhibition industry.
    Heres something we knocked up this week.


    Its like a tropthy display presentation thingie.

    We also built a stand for twitch a couple of months ago. A live gaming comp was on in London . Think it they did the fifa2015 world finals live stream.

    We are building one atm for intel in Barcelona. Were probably the best stand builders in the world.

    I'm surprised you are not aware of the story, but I'll try & tell it on another thread when time permits.

    Cliffs - famous & very successful player purchases the online account of a sort of recreational player, then bashes everyone up at High Stakes as they have no history on him, & their HUD's & whatever cant help. Rumours start, so he shares the knowledge that he is Multi Accounting with a few of his friends, including some famous Stars Pros. Who keep the secret to themselves, & don't share it with the rest of us. I'd call that conspiracy to defraud, but Stars seemed quite relaxed about it. google "Brian Hastings Multi accounting scandal" or "Noel Hayes" & it'll take you to a very long thread on 2+2. 

    Safe to say Mr Hastings, who did jolly well at the WSOP this year, was far from the most popular chap. I seem to recall he put Phil Ivey to a decision in the WSOP, & Ivey said "hmm, I wonder what Noel Hayes would do in this spot".....

    Think I'll pass on that, though of course I do have a view.......

    There is a website, though, where players post "Reviews" on Poker Sites.
     
    If you go to the section on Sky Poker, it's hilarious, everyone giving it 0 out of 10, "pile of poo" "most rigged site ever!!!!!!!" sorta thing. Bit depressing if you take it at face value.
     
    But here's the thing. What site has - far & away - the best, most advanced, most sophisticated, every bell & whistle ever ever ever? Has to be 'Stars right? Yup. No doubt. Now go to the section that Reviews 'Stars. Same thing, "pile of poo", "MOST RIGGED SITE EVER!!!!" da de da.

    In fact EVERY site that has a review section has a whole bunch of folks saying the same thing, so there is the.....

    Ladbrokes river card which always beats us

    Stars river card which always beats us

    Full Tilt river card which always beats us

    Sky Poker river card which always beats us.


    And, of course, cashout curses galore.
     
    It's quite a thing to read if you have a whole day to spare - there is tons of it. You'll never get that day back though.
