...show some gratitude to the Sky Suits for their work in the last 2 months since the Community has opened. By my reckoning, we have 5 new tournaments running (£500 Deep Stack, MICKJENN1 Fan Club, Tikay SleepStack, £2,000 Deep Stack and Spartacus) which is absolutely fantastic. Not only that but they've set-up Caption Contests, Blog Competitions, given very nice gestures such as free entry to tournaments and been very helpful and prompt in replying to issues raised by the players.
Sometimes in these sorts of businesses the work that Rich, Adam, Des and others have done (not to exclude Tikay of course, but he's not necessarily an employee of Sky) can be thankless, but i'd like to make sure that doesn't happen here. I'd therefore like to extend my personal thank you to everyone at Sky that have helped with the vast improvements made over the past 2-3 months, starting from their contributions on the forums to their help with getting new Tournaments set-up, and would like to invite the rest of the community to do the same.
Thanks and long may it continue.

Keep up the good work folks!
I am in total agreement, they listen to what we have to say (yes tikay is an employee, but does give the soooots a little nudge in the right direction, little may be an understatement), I must admit that there is very little likelyhood of me joining some of the new tournies unless I can sat in of course, but doesnt mean I am not glad of them and hope they get enough people to support the tournies they deserve now that we have them.
I know the sooots do read these, could we hear from you ???????????????
GO SKY POKER TEAM, GO SOOOTS
We do have great banter.
We have a sense of community.
Suggestions/complaints and anything else would appear to be listened to with an open mind by the powers that be.
As Annie says, the lack of a downloadable poker client can be a pain as when you're waiting for your cards to appear and before you can think 'good god, Aces!!!' it folds your hand for you.
Also, could we please encourage a dumber breed of opponents on here please as it's getting so damned hard to win anything off you lot!!!
Thank you and goodnight!!!
1- Not the best site to play on,far better sites out there
and 2- wheres this so called community when all anyone ever does on a table is give abuse out whenever they get a beat
Im sorry but the 'suits' as everyone always refers to them are only doing their job and trying to get more players with the 'sky poker' logo on there shirts and hats in tourneys which,to be fair aint many and aint really going to happen, will never put money on this site again,bonuses are shocking and a disgrace,rake is unreal and people aint al that,
am staying with my beloved Pokerstars,is and always will be the best site, remember 'suits' this site lost me over £80 through tables not loading up,will never put more cash on this site, have put same on Pokerstars and have a bankroll of over a $1k now,
goodbye Sky Poker-more like Ground level poker
Nice Post YoungUn. We see so much moaning & groaning on here, it was a pleasant surprise.
Twice the thread referred to my status here, "employee" or not.
I actually sit in a very strange position at Sky Poker. (Sigh, behave, please).
I do work for them, in various guises.
Front of Camera (that's called "Talent", & a less appropriate name I've never seen) for The Live Shows, Pre-Records & In-Poker.
As a PTP-er.
As an Ambassador, which includes the SPUKT stuff, Vegas, & various Promotional stuff.
As a Consultant, which is covered under a Service Agreement.
The last-named includes an obligation to promote & protect Sky Poker's name on all the various Online Poker Forums. However, that Agreement was framed before the Sky Poker Forum came into being, but until the Suits tell me otherwise, I consider it part of my remit.
So I do sort of work for them, & so might be called an "employee".
But I'm also a Player here, & so, except on my PTP Nights, I play on my own Account.
So, pretty much, I do get the chance to offer a lot of feedback to the Suits, but every player has that right, too.
It would be fair to say I do send a lot of stuff to the Suits, areas which I think deserve their attention. daily, often more. I keep it brief, & polite, because that way, they are more likely to listen. Nobody is going to respond very well to "oi you eejits, what happened to our Freerolls, you ripped us off?" sort of thing, are they?
I hold no Management position or role, & have no authority, nor am I a Moderator for the Forum. But if I see something which needs sorting, I make sure The Suits see it. Trust me, I do!
I just thought it worthwhile to explain all that, & where I sit.
Essentially, I sit on a big fence, & so I can run with the hare, & hunt with the hounds. Which is handy.
long live the community!
Happy posting!
Rich
p.s. new blog coming soon

Thank you Sky and hopefully one day I can take advantage of some of the bigger new tournies when my BR allows.
