i would like a freeroll to be free other sites dont charge poker points or have freeroll rebuys it is just another way for you to make money if you want people to stay loyal youu should have freerolls that are free
I would like to see an improvement to the poker league table. The position numbers down the left hand side should keep the order of 1-200 at all times. I.E. when I order the table by MTT or STT the position numbers jumble up, so I have to copy and paste into excel to see my MTT position.
...THIS IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE TSP LEAGUE...
COULD YOU TELL ME IF THE CARDS ARE COMPLETY RANDOM OR ARE THEY SET PRESET IN ANYWAY, I CANT BELIEVE HOW OFTEN SOMEONE WHO CAN ONLY HIT ONE CARD GETS IT ON THE RIVER, THIS NEVER HAPPENS THIS MUCH IN LIVE POKER AND PEOPLE ON HERE HAVE EVEN COMMENTED THAT THEY STAY IN HANDS BECAUSE OF THIS
is there a maximum stay 4 ppl who sit out on a table cause i only play little stakes and theres only 1 heads table and if u stack some 1 they can stay at the table without reloading 4 ever can u change this so they have maybe 2 mins as it gets annoyin.
would make a main event with medium buy in i noticed the site main events are only just making thier gtd pools with other sites they clear them and then some the main events on here are to much for most bankrolls they used to be only 11 pounds on here now the lowest 1 is a rebuy i dont know who thinks these ideas up but theres also to many rebuys on here now get rid of the rebuys or some of them.and 1 more thing put on a decent 10 seater with a gtd prize pool and charge the extra 50p or whatever it would cost the 6 seaters are ok but theres only 2or 3 10 seaters a week on here the offordables which have died a death and the forum deepies which have no gtd prize pool therefore they dont attract any deent fields so get your fingers out sky and give these ideas a try
To improve the site it would be nice to see people win by playing the game properly not just by luck all the time especially by hitting the river card aways on this site im not saying its fixed but ive been playing on this site for awhile now over a year and 90 per cent of the time people who win in tourneys and the stt games are people with luck not skill

i agree to this there are certain hands that if you know the site well enough you know that the right card will come on the river card to give you the straight orflush
I would re-program the site to stop so many bad beats or be more realistic basically. the best hand rarely holds out and every tourney I've been knocked out of in the past 2 weeks is when a donk calls with jack diddily only to hit runner runner!? Not a sore loser but it happens way too often. The odds on these donks hitting as often as they do are rediculas and it does not happen with live play like it does on here, like I said every tourney is the same. Other than that the site has little issues lol

PS Has anyone else noticed when you have the best hand in an All-in situation the hand seems to lag just before the other player hits their one and only card? If you haven't watch out and reply please it's driving me insane. what is happening. is the dealer flicking through the deck to find the right cards or what lol.
I definitely would advocate the removal of the automatic pop-up screen telling you that there is another similar tournament to the one that you have just won/lost. A lot of players have more than one table open at any one time anyway, but in any case if you've just won you want to enjoy the moment and then think about what table to go on next or if you've lost it is really annoying being asked if you want to play again. We all know why you do it - you're not fooling anyone, but the fact is that it is annoying. Get rid of it or think of a less annoying way to do it, please. Also, more avatar choice - seriously, it gets very boring looking at the same five or six faces when playing!
Firstly, park08, we have no reason to rig the site. We take a portion of the buy-in, then it does not matter to us who wins or loses. Our sites are regulated by the AGCC, details of which are at the bottom of our site.
Frascati, we do have tournaments with fewer entrants, however we found these to be unpopular as we have to reduce the prize pool to cater for the loss of entrants.
I would advise you to try some of the Cash Games or Sit N Go tables if you are looking for a quicker game.
played friday joke lost all nite picked up great hands no good just switched on again wed first game sit and go player no matterwot could not loose loads complaining i even went all in top pair 2 scare him off he went on 7 4 unsuited called joke realy lo and behold gave him 2 7s 2 4s joke why does players of this calibre get rewarded over and over again it is not fair and proper players would not go on bad hands why reward chancers dont say it in random happens all the time do a pole shocking
my improvement would be to limit players to a number of tables on each blind level so then people have a choice in who they play against the number of times i go on cash table and certain people are playing on every table on 25/50 tables has forced me to go to other sites so that im playing different people and improve my game you cant do that against the same players all the time it would be a great improvement and would attract new players to the site.
Hi, I have been playing here for a few weeks and love it. I enjoy poker and I am learning the game. I have won a few tournaments and sit and goes but I am still a beginner and make silly plays and mistakes.
The one thing that I don't like is some of the other players you can get on the smaller tables. They can be rude and abusive. I would like to see an ignore button so I can just not get their abuse and rudeness when I am trying to play a fun game. Its OK on cash games as you can just move but in tournaments and sit and goes it can be off putting, and I don't just mean banter or chat.

Hi mozzieme & welcome to the forum.
I can't comment concerning an ignore button but I am sorry that you have had problems at the tables with some abusive players. Sky take this sort of thing very seriously so can I suggest that if this happens again that you report the incident to customer care using one of the links at the bottom of any of the forum pages. They will need to know what game you were in, the table number and most importantly the name of the person causing the problem it might also help if you could copy and paste the offending comments.
YOU certainly shouldn't have to move rooms because of someone elses bad behaviour.

you can turn the chatbox to silent, plus u should report any foul language to customer support, copy paste what their player ID and what they said, plus what table/time u were playing
make the hand history better The hand history on here is terrtible, it should be made like the pokerstars hand history, where yo can reply the and with all the action and see the other persons hand. At the moment all it is , is a confusing little box that barely shows anything. It definately needs to be improved soon as it will playing cash and tournements much more fun as you will be able to look back at hands with a clearer picture of the result. Also a time bank is needed in cash that if used should be refilled every ten minutes, just like a mintue to give the people time to think, right now every decision has to be made in about 10 seconds its horrible and makes a lot of people rush Posted by iodio
Must say that the time bank balance thing is always a hot topic on any site and having played on all the majors i feel qualified enough to add my thoughts on the subject.
At a 6 handed table in an MTT there is very little need for a time bank balance and one of teh nicest things about SP compared to others is that they dont have a time bank in MTTs. People destroy the integrity of a lot of tournamnets especially around the bubble of any MTT by stalling every single hand which ultimately only wastes blind time and reduces the number of hands that a table sees during this important phase of a tourey. IMO SkyPoker has this one right.
During satellite events this misuse of a time bank balance is even more noticeable and the blatant use impacts severly upon the natural flow of the game. Again, please dont introduce Time Bnaks in these as they are great as they are.
During a Cash Game i have the opposite opinion. Every now and then there is a need for enough time to think about a hand during play, and as poker doesnt often throw out the need for a big decision i dont think that it would be misused (apart from by those who are multitabling more than they can actually handle comfortably).
The option of activating an extra 30 seconds or even perhaps 45 seconds is generally enopugh for people to make a tough decision during a cash table hand and isnt necessarily that hard to introduce.
I would hope though that if it is brought in that the player has to 'Bid' for the extra time instead of automatically receiving it. This would stop every cash table losing a vast number of hands per hour and decreasing the enjoyment factor. After all poker is supposed to be a game and by definiton be fun and enjoyable.
The one improvement i would make, is that once you enter a sit & go or tournament you are seated at a table automatically and it takes you straight to the table. Dont know why but i have trouble launching the table even when i press the launch table tab, or am i missing something?
i'd like to see the percentiges written up by your cards so you know what they, i can't work it out quick enough and i like to know when i've sat there twice for over 2 hrs in tournys and i'm out with pocket aces what percentage hit that is and when in the 3rd 1 i'm out with pocket kings i'd like to know how probable that was.

If you go to 'My Account' and search your transaction history, you should be able to view your hand history there.
