I notice that on another site that in cash games, poker points are displayed while you are playing so you know how many points you are making while playing. This is a really good idea as I have no idea generally how many points i have accumulated in cash games until I leave the table and they are displayed in the league tables. Tornaments you know how many by looking at the lobby so this might be a good addition for people who are aiming for league placeings.
On the community pages how about displaying the last entry/page first instead of being faced with a the first page you have already read followed, having to then find the last page?
Then how about a link back to the forum instead of having to go back through pages one has already read?
Incidentally, any chance of extending the log in time? I have lost count of the tournament entrys I have missed out on when I though I would be logged in but in fact was logged out, and then it was too late. Beside this its annoying continually logging in.
Also when will I be able to access the tables (and so play poker) on my mobile phone, are there any plans? My phone uses symbian software but there are a number of others.
What would also be nice would be someone from SKY to inform us what proposals they are considering developing so that they do not get repeated on here. It would appear to be a while since this was done. Is this thread now being ignored by SKY?
more time, more time n again more time.. I'm pretty sure this has made me lose alot of pots.. It should be a top priority on the list of sky poker to do's.. I'm seriously concidering stopping until this is fixed..
suppose a nice improvement would be finding enough players to run a tourny,regd 3 times today just for them to be cancelled due to lack of players,where are all the players who asked for deep stack tourneys????

Furthermore,so many people asked for a deepstack tv tourny,i see theres one on sunday, Up to now 16 runners,never enough to play a "satt" to it......prob get cancelled to eh? this is not a moan towards you sky ,as you have tried to accommodate people for what they asked for,but runners turnouts have been very poor,Hence people like my-self who d`ont like "bingo blinds" will still play our major tournaments elsewhere....Once again this is not a moan but a observation.
and a tourney that allows some play .."the opens" a great comp but its a total crapshoot towards the end, so a comp with a nice structure would be bang on.
bigger buy ins would be nice as well. and a tourney that allows some play .."the opens" a great comp but its a total crapshoot towards the end, so a comp with a nice structure would be bang on. Posted by --ROB--
What about the deepstack tournaments, are they not what you're looking for?
this stupid pathetic flash player has to be abolished in favour of a proper reliable download like every other site in the whole flolppin world has--it comes up with more stupid errors than is even possible with a proper poker site--it is a total lump of garbage--it has cost me hundreds of pounds--i just got chucked off the flippin table in thr late stages of the deep stack and had no chips at all before i got back on--stupid pathetic crashes and errors have to be stopped--LISTEN SKY--IT IS USELESS--IT IS PATHETIC--GET RID OF THIS STUPID PIECE OF CRIP AND GET A RELIABLE TABLE LAUNCHER THAT FLOPPIN WORKS--PEOPLE WITHOUT BROADBAND CANT EVEN RISK REGISTERING FOR BIG TOURNEYS BECAUSE OF THIS CROP METHOD OF PLAYING POKER----------------- YOU OWE IT TO YOUR PLAYERS TO BE AS RELIABLE AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE --AND YET THIS IS THE MOST UNRELIABLE SITE IN THE WHOLE FLOPPIN WORLD----------------------------------------DO SOMETHING OR I AM OFF
SkyPoker should take time to ask its paying players what they want when it comes to poker, I like fast and furious, but I also like my bed at night too.
OK 700 players start at 9pm most nights, most are out by 10pm, and yes the presenters want to hit the cash tables at the local casino by midnight, but I for one would like just a little extra time, to a; enjoy these big prize MTTs and b; allow better decision making time.
Playing other poker sites gives us all an understanding how well poker MTTs can be run and therefore how much extra profit they can make by giving poker players the very best service. SkyPoker needs to consult its paying players, their customers, and confirm just what we all would like from this site just as other poker sites do and then act on that information.
thanks for everyone's suggestions - my sincere apologies if we haven't responded on this thread for a while.
i'm going to bring together everyone's ideas and let you all know if things are coming soon, being fixed etc etc. - so look out for that in the near future
in the meantime, thanks for all your great ideas we really love the feedback.

I'm concerned to hear this oynutter and can I assure you the last thing Sky Poker wants is to give our players a bad experience or to lose your business. I will look into this specific issue you have mentioned and give you a call tomorrow to find out a bit more about your pc and browser settings.
A download poker application is very much part of our thinking and we are working on the development of it at the moment. When we have a launch date, we'll let you and the community know asap.
In the meantime I do apologise for your bad experience and can assure you we are looking into it.
How about an article explaing the maths side of poker, from the basics upwards? I'm quite comfortable with the basics but want to improve this side of my game. A little project for Mr Giddens I think!

thanks des for your prompt and hopefully helpful response--i do apologise for the tone of my last post but my frustration really was at its peak--a download would be absolutely fantastic!!---it would make sky probably the best poker site in the world!--i have played on a few, but never even dreamed of a site that really listened to its players and responded promptly and positively as sky has done---i really am impressed--skys response to the silly freeroll problem was fantastic--very impressive indeed---i am absolutely sure that a download version would increase not only the number of players but also the amount of tourneys played by its present players--i for one would play much more and bigger tournaments if i knew my evening would be error free
1 love this site 90 percent of the time--players are great fun--community expierience is second to none! tourneys are really good(7min blinds in the open excepted) --that said--this could easily become the best poker site on the planet---thanks again des--and please give your technical team a wee nudge--i was told a download version was in the pipeline 8 months ago--i am very willing to wait for it and will be loyal to sky poker for all my poker needs--thanks des
Everything is pretty cool from the outside however once i joined i can't see myself depositing with the current software.Why is everything 6 handed?I presume so table can fit better on tv. I like all the promos and tv aspect i really think a drastic software change is in need and i would definately play here then. Look at some other networks their software and choice of games is far superior.
