In Response to Re: What improvements would you make to the site? : The certifying company can be found HERE The RNG certification is HERE Posted by Machka
The best thing about the site is the general consenus that we are all still trying to learn, one of the ways I do this is by review hands I played well and hands I played badly but the hand history is pretty awful - especially if you are trying to find hands at a later date. Unless i'm doing it wrong you just have to keep hitting details, see if that was the one you're after then keep looking if it's not.
If you could post hands to your own profle from within the table that would be great, you could start to see if there are any particular trends and spot where your going wrong. Some kind of link through would help you build up a learning guide and also help people wanting to post hands on the forum or poker clinic.
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. Posted by lepoisson
Every few months I tend to take a look here hoping for improvements in the software.
A downloadable client! At last!
Yet it still doesn't allow me to maximise to a full screen view. I've got 1920 pixels by 1200 on my monitor - why can't I use them?
Come on guys this is 2010, not 1995. Sky Poker has a unique hook with the TV coverage. It could corner a substantial part of the UK market, but when your software lags behind the competition you are just going to continue to wither and die.
sky poker should be like other sites by providing fre play/practice tables with free chips and refreshed when run out no need to make a real cash deposit to qualify for free chips

Welcome to the forum Morbius. For free play games go to the Cash lobby and click on the free play tab.
ever since downloading sky to my desktop it keeps freezing during games nothing wrong with my pc brand new starting to annoy me as its costing me money please get it sorted
Mtt are not worth playing here imo(but are my fav).Looked at one today paid top 30, 74% of prize pool for top 6, 7-10 10%, 11-20 and 21-30 getting not much more than their buy-in for hours of play.You would have to feel very good about your game to play these when you can play 3-4 dym in same time with better odds of cashing.Or is this what sky wants more games more rake?Either pay less places so cashes are worth it or reduce top pay outs a few % and make it worth playing for a cash fields might get bigger imo if you do the latter.
I'm interested in learning to play omaha and hi lo a bit more, but I don't really want to go risking money on it, I know I'd play scared. Maybe some omaha freerolls or something like that?
Not having to move the cursor over to the box to type in a bet, should just automatically enter here if you start typing, costs alot of time.
Stack sizes always visible (that goes for tv shows as well).
Pot size at the beginning of betting round displayed not just total pot making it easier to judge the size of an opponents raise.
Don't display folded hole cards.
Display hand percentages during all in situations on the site and during hand analysis on the shows. Just makes things more interesting.
While I agree with the policy of not allowing tracking software to be used on the site to build information on other players, more statistical analysis of your own game could be provided / facilitated over and above the current flops seen / won information.

Not sure how/if that would work when multi tabling?
one improvement would be in these tournaments, there seem to be sometimes unfair matching as for instance i was on a table where one perosn had 14k another 13k and the rest under 5k and it wasnt like there was not many left i think there was about 100+!!!!!!
Will Sky please amend the mechanics when it comes to Bounty hunters to stop the unfair advantage. Many times I have sat at a table and gained a massive chip advantage i.e 4000 when the rest are at 2000 apart from the guy i cleaned out who has about 50 left!
Ok, I dont mind the fact that someone else gets to take his last 50 and gain the bounty but what i do object to is this. During the next 20 mins I slowly work on the group and we have a situation where I have say, 4800 chips, there are 3 players below 1000 and a couple around the 3000 mark. Just as i am about to pounce the computer decides to move me to a new table full of players who have all got more chips than me and have achieved a bounty.
Please please sort this out as it seems grossly unfair to do all the work without getting anything and ten be taken away from the table with all the short staks you have worked on..
I'd like to see more £5.50 £50 guaranteed, £100 guaranteeds and £250 ones thought the day every hour that start that like midday becouse i dont like to play for 11 quid game to much for me ty

We don't have any Omaha freerolls as yet, but you could try this link to understand the game a bit more.

Bounty Hunters.

The only aspect of Sky Poker I really don't like is the font size. It is very small and the window can not be maximised to full screen.
This really lets down the site, which is otherwise very good. Can this please be changed?
