id like to c more freeroles !!!! maybe more money ? maybe even use the points rewards system to play better freeroles ! apart from this the site is great !
Could just be me - but as even those of us who only play one table are doing other things and taking in tables at a fast glance, maybe a blue table with some other colour of cards might be a help??
How about some lovely new avatars am sick of sitting in the dark! and what about a big bad beat sound or a royal flush bonus. x not that i have ever had a royal flush yet but when i do i would like to celebrate!
I am new, to the site generally, I played on it a few months ago but gave up because of what I dont like, and it still seems to be the same
The ordering doesnt seem to work, i.e. if i want to order by status then I want it to show what is nex by order of statust, which it doesnt.
I can't find anything which says which tournament or table I am on so I ended up in two by mistake.
Having to redo all the options every time I join a table really gets my goat, I mean I have already said I want as options why should i do it every game!
I totally agree with you on this and would love to know if Sky have even read this & are taking it seriously.In this day & age you can have more variety of crisps than you can Avatars on this site!!In Response to Re: What improvements would you make to the site?:

More realistic please, i have had numerous bad beats here lately and thought its just variance until this last hand where that was an A44 board and i had AJ heads up and i went allin to get called by K9. Turn was 9 river was 9. i was so shocked but it summed up this site for me, happens way too often.
Make the software work with other browsers. My browser of choice is Chrome. With IE my absolute last choice. In fact, I go to all the trouble to uninstall IE on all my PC's. It's only the fact that it had re-infitrated my alptop that allows me to play on SKY.

I have to agree with you on that one Callum - i have just been done with 97 off suit. i had aces raised 3000 (4x bb) preflop got called by 97 os!! what comes on the flop? 9 and 9 on the river - comical x
a big big big xmas tourney.. with a trip ti vegas as a prize.. with a lot of other good prizes..no cash just top prizes...top 10 go into a hat for a draw. giving the least better player chanch to get a big prize.
Not having played very long on sky poker I find the comments above relating to HH and time bank favourable, I play a lot of double ups sng and what infuriates me is that some players buy in and sit out the entire game and in some games double up simply because the other players play normal. (In mtt's I can understand that there may be ppl who just cant make the time for one reason or another) It happens in the freerolls too, so how about putting a time limit on sit outs?? There is another site which if you dont play within (I think its 10 BB's ) you are excluded from the game, as I found out to my cost after I was called away for 20 mins.
the biggest improvement that Sky can make is to eliminate slow play. There is nothing worse than sitting on a table when everyone is timing out and then betting. I actually timed a hand today and it took the table 3 minutes to play a hand. Not only is this ridiculous it is rude.
May I suggest that you drastically reduce the timer and provide a time bank. If anyone needs time then that is fine but no one needs the full amount of time just to fold. I would also suggest that the pre flop timer is reduced even more, that way when people ignore or afk then they are taken out of the equation fast!!
Sorry to moan about this but i can play 6 tables and rarely need the time limit unless i really am caught up in a big decision whilst another table pops,
I look forward to hearing from you and maybe its only me who is annoyed and the rest of the players do not find this an issue.
In Response to What improvements would you make to the site? : Some good points there silentbob. More detailed Hand History functionality is due to be launched in the very near future; with further HH developments to follow on. Omaha is on the development roadmap also, but there are a number of other items that we'd like to improve or upgrade with the existing site, before introducing new games. The time bank question is also something we are aware of. One of the considerations in televising the Open, is the need to get the tournament completed within the programme time frame. Increasing the time bank available might require us to speed up the structure to finish before coming off air. Not sure how you guys would view that? Posted by Sky_Des
If a tourney is unable to finish before the programme has finished could sky not keep the final table on the TV so we can watch the end of it.
In Response to Re: What improvements would you make to the site? : if you look top left of window click options and highlight betting sounds and chip sounds that should solve it Posted by chaseDace
i tried the option for sounds but it still doesnt work ...i have no problem on other sites
I would like to see the program changed so it does not favour highest chip stack, Thats so anoying. Also would like to be able to play in full screen mode. A dealer voice would also make it a bit more interesting..

I'd like to see how the integrity of the gaming is maintained. We've all heard people crying incredulously about the outcome of a hand. Personally, I'm constantly amazed about how often the river fundamentally changes an outcome. All I'd like to know is what are the mechanics behind how the cards are dealt and are there any external audits?
I think this should hold true for all sites, not just Sky.
