    downloadable software? as soon as ive got 4 tables open, i cant reposition them, change their size or anything along those lines, because it crashes on me and i have to ctrl + alt + del to be able to move my mouse again. I usually play 4-6 tables on a site i used to play on, but now when my 4th table loads i just hope it doesnt load right infront of a table ive already got loaded, or im stuck!

    is there a way of fixing this by the way or is it porbably down to browser software

    I find the screen much to small with no option to make it bigger. Better notification of what the winning hand is as well as I don't always have the chat box open. More torneys with a points buy in as well.

    Gonna keep posting untill i get a reply beacuse i think the rake needs to be changed!!!
     
    i think the double your money sngs at lower stakes such as £1+15 and £2+25 should be 10% rake just like the rest of them especally on thease because you you dont come close to doubling your money, also i think sky poker should do double you money turbos with a 5% rake like other sites do

    Also for cash game players at miro stakes there should be a 1p 2p games, i dont play these tho because theres too much luck involve at micro cash levles :-)

    does any 1 else aggree ??

    ive just sat in the 250 freeroll which i used my poker points from which i get from playing CASH games i then faced 4 players on there away buttons and a fifth player with 20,000 againts my 7000 and was all in every hand i think its disgusting people can sit out for that long without being kicked off the table so people who want to play can i am very annoyed and am considering finding another poker site my original impression of this site was very good and the help from the presenters tikay in particular has been invaluable however i am not prepared to play somewhere where people can in theory cheat                                                  prs73...

    Look, in any tourney, anyone who pays their money/uses their points can use them in any way they see fit. If you bought into a live tourney and didn't turn up you'd be blinded out that's how the game is played. That's not cheating, just a choice.

    a lot of the other poker sites have a time bank ,

    normally 1 min or 2 minutes , [ note its a once off for the whole mtt ]

    this give one the chance to decide on, call down all in moves or mtt decider .

    I have mentioned this before and nothing has been done. THE CARDS DO NOT SHOW UP IN THE CHAT BOX ! The chat shows up; the dealer actions contrast well. BUT YOU CANNOT SEE THE BLESSED CARDS. Black on blue and red on blue DO NOT contrast well. I have just come back and I enjoy SKY POKER but this frustrates me. Someone on your playing team or tech team please have a look. What is the point of showing the flop etc when one cannot read them at a glance?
    Please look at other sites where the chat bars are crystal clear.

    I'll tell you the best thing you can do to improve this site is shut it down. You can tell by the chip stacks 9 times out of 10 who is going to win and even with which cards. I've recently started playing at betfair and it's a more realistic site. Sky poker is so predictable and will be getting no more of mine or my family's money. I'm one very very disappointed customer and will be doing all my gambling at betfair from now on.

    Simple thing but can you make it so that the table window has a 'always on top' option. so if you are doing other things at same time the window always stay on top as name suggests.

    irish, definetly think we should have a timebank :)

    maybe 2 per tournament max so it isnt abused though :)

    There seems to be a lot of requests for a time bank that wont be abused to be introduced. On this subject perhaps introducing time outs would be better maybe 20 seconds with a max of 3 per tournament. They would have to be requested and are unlikely to be used to run the clock down in qualifiers.

    So I take it no one else is getting the ache with constant bad beats and what seems to be rigged hands at certain times of the game eg: low on chips decent hand, go all in and get beat by a 8-2!! You know what I mean. RNG = Alot to be answered for!!
    Posted by SunnyPalms
    I have to agree to a certain extent with the excess bad beats but until we get solid proof what can we really do. Bad beats do happen unfortunately they do run at a higher percentage than is normal on this site which is why I play limited poker on this site. I show a healthy profit on the other sites I play on but rate as a novice on sky but that could be down to the blind structure and the fact that its six handed tables. That said I still have to agree.

    WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME 15/20 MIN BLINDS MTT 2000 STARTING CHIPS.OK SKY HAS 12MIN DEEP STACK BUT THAT IS THE ONLY MTT OVER 10MIN BLIND MARK.THE BRUTAL FACT IS LONGER BLINDS MORE SKILL IS NEEDED AND BETTER PLAYERS WILL WIN MORE OFTEN.
    Posted by markisking
    the deepstack on a sunday is 15 min blinds but too expensive so i would also like to see a 20 min blind 10 handed table comp as that is what i normally play on my main site.

    First post - here goes! I think satellite tournaments/sit & go's are a good idea.  Would be nice to see some tournaments where players could use poker points to but into a satellite, where the winner would receive, for example, an entry to a Bounty Hunter tournament. For example, you could start a 30 seater tournament, with a 50 poker point buy in, where the winner receives a seat to a £2 + 30p Bounty Huner of their choice. Currently, there must be a lot of players out there, who have loads of Poker Points but nothing to spend them on, as there are only a couple of freerolls where they can be used at present. What does everyone think?

    I agree totally if other sites can do it why not sky. The other site I am playing on are running a $5000 freeroll at the moment for a buy in of 20 points. The top 200 in each daily freeroll go through to a $250,000 end of the month freeroll so I cant see why sky cant give something back to thier loyal customers.
