the site is well ahead of other BIG NAME sites but it would be good to know what possition you are in whenaver playing tournaments.? This suggestion MUST be worth a bonus as i feel everyone will agree.Cheers.
Being able to make it full screen on my laptop would be nice, unless i'm missing something you can't do that? Posted by Willsy1968
Hi Willsy
At the moment you can't make it full screen (probably something to do with the fact it's browser based but I'm no computer expert). I would think (hope?) that this will be possible when the download client is released. The last I heard is that it would be late Feb/early March.

Hi derk
You can currently do this in one of two ways:
1 - You can open up the tournament lobby for whatever MTT/STT you're playing. The downside to this is that in a large field you have to scroll down to find where you are (or at least I do, I don't often see myself at the top of the list!)
2 - In the bottom left of the table screen there are 4 tabs. If you click on the one that says game info (might just be info, but it's the 3rd tab from the left anyway) then it will tell you your current position in the tourney (& will update after every hand).
Rake every site has rake, but the rake taken on hu cash games is extortionate. Just played Hu game 50p £1, won guys buy in of £90 in about 40 mins. Look at my acount which has increased by £34. £56 for sky, and £34 for me. My poker point increase is around 300 points, less than a fiver in effective rakeback. If i play on almost any other site, I get 30% rake, and the rake taken by sites is less. I cannot see the reason to play for any amount of time on here, and this needs to be rectified if they want to increase the traffic.
Hi When I was on the Ipoker Network, they had a feature where you could search for a player in the "Find a Player" search and them add them say to your favorites, which they called a "buddies list" I was wondering if perhaps sky could adopt a similar feature as in: When u search for somebody in Find a Player you can add them too your favorites, and so can search for multiple at a time when you say click on your favorites list... I believe this feature would be helpful if you wanted to rail multiple people, and not have to keep typing in search different players and losing track of others, whereas instead you could see all of them in one easily accessible list? Thanks Chirpy
You must look at the "random" card generator it has now reached the point where no hand is safe. Yesterday I run set into bigger set, it happens but that's twice in less than a week. Then later in the same day i run my KKK into 999, all money in on turn what's the river, you guessed it a 9 for his quads. Last 7 times i get KK an A hits the flop. Today i flop nut flush, turn gives villain quad's. Come on I played poker online for 2 years and only saw quads a couple of times now, they appear with an alarming frequently.
Why is it when all the money goes in the inferior hand wins far more often that it is expected to? I am sick to death of getting my money in as a 90% favourite and getting beat. This is seriously affecting my confidence in the integrity of the site. Your comments would be appreciated, please don't say it's ok because it is not.
Now i'm on tilt so I raise utg with JQh get 3 bet and call oop - how fishy is that? I flop a royal flush he flops a set of aces, come on sky sort it out, its all big hands. Yes i got lucky this once, but its like bingo.
RAKEBACK!!!!! Why do people play for anything other than micro stakes without any rakeback? Especially when 99% of online poker rooms offer in the region of 30% rakeback?
More value for points!
Points are pretty worthless as they are now.
More freerolls.
A small time bank (additional 15-30 seconds) that a player can choose to use when needed. Once used, its only refilled after say 5 minutes or 5 hands.
Better hand history/downloadable hand history.
More 10max tables.
More cash tables.
Decrease max buy in amount for micro stakes. Its very off putting to play at micro stakes when someone sits down with £10 and calls every hand, every street, and pushes all in on the river.

Completely agree. In fact this has been suggested previously but (I personally feel) has been ignored. Apparently bigger max buy ins is what the majority of micro stake punters want but I disagree. I play a fair amount of 4/8 & 5/10 cash and hate the fact that someone can sit down at 5/10 with £20. If I wanna play with £20 then I go play 10/20. Besides, as far as I can tell (I only play on 1 other site) every other site has a cash buy in limit of 100BB unless it specifically states it's a deep stack table.
Hi all. Is thier a way where you can add friends to a list, so you always know if they are on? Also how about the ability to choose a seat. Makes multitables alot easier as you know which seat you are in all the time.

this is probably the worst site ive played on
the only good thing is the bad players.
