I'll be honest, I don't know what the problem is/was but I will make sure somebody posts on here tomorrow AND the disconnections thread to give you an update/resolution.
I have kept Adam in the loop with this as well, he returns next week.
Hi again Jordan You told me that it had been sorted ,so why was i just disconnected .I was playing the 7-10 pm ofordable i was on final table 5 players left just gone all in and bang DISCONNECTED YET AGAIN . I didnt even get a chance to see what cards came down ,when i got re -connected i had to go back to the table and ask the other players what happened . This is one very very unhappy poker player ,you have got all my system details so i dont expect to have to give them to you again . The hand number was 0293224988 the time was 21-51 can you pass these details onto Sky Adam and also please make sure that SKY DES is informed about this as he asked me to report to him . I will also e-mail Des about this matter it has now gone way beyond a joke as i have said all along THIS IS YOUR SITE AND YOUR PROBLEM . FROM A VERY VERY VERY NOT HAPPY PERSON . Mick.
Sorry for any confusion caused here to Mick and anyone else who may have read this thread, I've just placed an update on the disconnections thread in the Technical area here
Since we have not found any evidence of issues with the Sky Poker platform, we cannot say that this has been resolved or fixed, because we haven't found a problem.
It's definitely worth upgrading to the latest version of Adobe flash player (they upgraded in the last few days) as commented on that thread, which seems to have helped some users.
Unfortunately disconnections will occur occasionally on Sky Poker, as they will on any online poker site, but we are committed to providing as stable and robust a platform as possible for our customers to enjoy their poker on.
Once again apologies to Mick and anyone else for any confusion caused by this thread.
Hi, Pleaseeee can you increase the guarantee in the 3pm standard NLHE tournament? It is £100 gtd, and regularly hits £200+.....it will be alot bigger and better if you put a realistic guaranteed prize pool on it? Thanx Posted by DOHHHHHHH
ITHINK THAT IT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD IDEA IF SKY COULD SWITCH PLAY TO A 9 SEATER FINAL TABLE IN TOURNAMENTS AS IT IS OK PLAYING WHEN THERE ARE 5 PLAYERS ON EACH TABLE. BUT WHEN IT GOES DON TO BALANCE OF PLAY IS NOT ALWAYS VERY GOOD BECAUSE THE TOP 3 OR 4 CHIPLEADERS COULD BE ON SAME TABLE AND SMALLER STACKS ON OTHER TABLE. I DONT KNOW IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR SKY TO SWITCH TO SUCH A SYSTEM BUT IT IS ONLY A SUGGESTION WHICH IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT, YOUR OPINIONS PLEASE
Oh Dear Sky, what are you gonna do now, I have just checked and you have QUEENIE13 in both yellow and Orange teams As I have pointed this error out and I am in the Yellow team I claim the points Queenie won for the Yellows we therefore drew with the Oranges not lost. Regards Wiganese
HI YA I AGREE WITH CHEW07 (MICK) RE DISCONNECTIONS I LOST LOTS AND CHIPS AND TOURNEYS DUE TOO THIS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY END THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. ALSO I HAVE JUST STARTED PLAYING DEEPSTACK AND LOVE IT AND ENJOY SKY POKER FOR FUN AND THE ABUSE PEOPLE GET FROM OTHERS RE BAD BEATS WE ALL GET THEM AND IT IS A DISGRACE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY SKY STAFF
Was thinking about private tourneys that you could only have your mates in sky could charge their usual 10%. I personally know about 15 people who would love to play against each other on a regular basis, but only 3 have an account with sky so they would have to open an account, thus giving sky the chance of more money, either that or rent the tables out . Dont know any other sites that do this, just a thought.
Hi, i did post something along these lines in SPT thread but now this section seems to be looked at again, i'll post here (!).
When you have play satellites for the site's main tournaments would it be possible to win a token to use when you want to? My original example was with the £5.20 SPT qfinals, often I have not entered an afternoon qualifier because i can't be on the site later the same day for the semi, and similarly i am often on the site at the time of the semi-finals but can't afford to buy in direct and haven't been able to be online to play a £5.20 qualifier earlier that day.
It could be used for primo qualifiers, SkySports BH qualifier etc as well and would probably increase numbers.
A second suggestion/query: When you have money in your account a good idea would be to have the facility to section money off to different parts of Sky...Poker/Vegas/Bet or even Bingo!! I have an account on another site and you can transfer money to other sections of the site and is stays separate. On Sky it is too easy to have a 'quick go' on Sky Vegas and before you know it, your Poker bankroll has vanished. I know to a llarge degree its a matter of self control and there is the facility to self-exclude from certain areas but if you had to actually transfer money from Poker to Vegas and specify an amount and confirm this, it might stop some people from doing it?!!
A third suggestion: Echoing thoughts of other people, the possible introduction of 10 seater tournaments which aren't necessarily deepstacks. Even if it was on a trial to see the take up it would be nice to have the option.
All the problems with the Sky Poker Premiership (scores and players in 2 teams) should all be sorted now. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused you.
docden22- Unfortunately we cannot offer you private tournaments for you and your friends as we do not want customers to feel "left out" as it were and it would not be cost effective in the long run.
Brrrrrrr- We have recently launched a token system for free games here: https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/poker-promotions/free-poker-play However I understand this is not what you are after. It may be hard to facilitate your suggestion as it would require somebody to enter the players manually as and when they request a seat which would not be cost effective, however I will pass your suggestion forward.
Your balance is a balance for the whole of Sky Betting and Gaming. If you deposit £10 it is available to use on Sky Poker, Vegas, Bingo and Bet. There are a few promotions which mean you can only use it on one platform however.
Finally, we have limited our seats for finals and major tournaments to ensure that everyone can get the most out of Sky Poker. If this is due to change in the near future I will let you know.
How about running a £1 buy in pyramid sit & go. 5 levels with the winner getting a place to the next round. (or first and second get a place in next round)
Then play the last table on tv.
also
1. should'nt the sit out be sit out next hand, this would make it better then trying to catch it if your in a hand and don't want to play the next hand.
2. is it just me or do's anyone else have to click the i'm back about 18 times to stop the software mucking my cards.
3. if you press fold be mistake you can only check or fold. there should be a x in the right corner to close it so you can still bet.
PUT MORE 5 POKER POINT GAMES ON FOR THOSE WHO CAN ONLY AFFORD A FIVER A WEEK TO PLAY.......I ALWAYS END UP WITH AROUND 5-8 POKER POINTS WHICH ARE USELESS AT THE MOMENT I BET IM NOT THE ONLY ONE EITHER
Due to the nature of Sit N Go's we don't feel it necessary to bring in a tournament structure. You can always satellite your way into some of our main events for only a small price.
We don't offer the option to sit out next hand I am afraid to save confusion and people missing hands they may want to play etc.
You shouldn't have to click "I'm back" numerous times, you may want to download Mozilla Firefox and use that as your browser when playing Sky Poker.
Hi Venomgg,
We will be running satellites into the WSOP nearer the time as we did last year.
ade20-Unfortunately we cannot add more at the moment for business purposes, however you can earn poker points in the Sit N Go tournaments if you want to earn more.

fr4nkie- We do try our best to deal with any abuse that occurs on the poker tables, however if you see any abuse of your own we would be very grateful if you could forward the details onto customer care at help@skybet.com and we can look into it further.

Any chance of adding satallites to the main live events such as EPT/WSOP etc?
