So thoughts are mixed some big questions amongst the winnis is whether sky will keep any and if so how many exclusive tournements or games. The dons will be gone I always flirted with those but never really went for them.
Of course spin and goes been available on sky with the promos for premier league would be good but i got a feeling I wouldnt be the only one to go for them in that spot and not sure if I would want to spend days playing benc and duonross in 3 handed games. would these games be good who knows.
I think overall the winnis agree that there is a lot of unknown info to ultimately decide right now if this is a good or bad thing but that it is likely a very bad thing.

I have absolutely loved Sky Poker over the years - it's been by far and away my favourite platform to play on - but have to say I fear the worst. Reading the news made me very sad. You don't know what you've got until it's gone....
Thanks for providing clarity and plenty of notice in regards to the changes. Just have a couple of questions, will the sky exclusive games still be uk player pool only? when can we expect to find out more details about these games? i assume husng will just be merged into the ipoker network if they continue to exist at all, wondering if you could confirm the outcome for that yet or not? Exciting times for the site as a whole anyway i hope the transition goes well and curious to see how it all plays out.

Can you please ask the programmers at iPoker to make sure we still can't see our hole cards during the first hand of a final table?
There's a limit to how much change I can cope with.
what no thats utterly ridicolous its bad enough when it happens on sky but considering with much bigger fields and super skilled bots more skilled then the worlds best poker players regulary in the player pool we are all going to make final tables a lot less often.
when we finally do we need every chance we can get not seeing the first few hands could be a major blow.
I just hope they have stopped all the collusion, P*** J*******`s now defunct BRS for example who played as a team game using Teamviewer and other such tools, one of the reasons I left ipoker alone some time ago .My last game on there I was FT with 7 players even having "BRS" in there name. Will re-buys and re-enters also be raked now ?
I already have a GROSVENOR account which I believe is on the IPoker platform. Will I end up have separate accounts for Sky and Grosvenor, or will they merge to one?

Yes UK and Ireland only same as now. Heads Up SnGs is tbd. I'll need to do some analysis on their popularity but I have a few months to nail down exactly what exclusive games we'll offer and I'll share on the forum what that looks like in advance.

I don't have much info on this yet but I was told iPoker have a dedicated game integrity team and sophisticated bot detection/collusion software. When did this take place?
I don't plan on raking rebuys and re-entries on Sky MTTs. Do iPoker do this on all MTTS?

Many thanks
You will carry on using your Sky account as usual. You can have as many iPoker accounts as you like but you can only play on one at once. I recommend Sky

Lets suck it and see.
I suck on stars but my forth place for 1818 left a sweet taste.

@duesenburg was being ironic.

It's a bit silly how it is now. The status quo leads to excessive bum hunting because regs can't battle to start tables.
