Get pocket Aces cracked three times at showdown
and skypoker will credit your account with a £10 cash bonus!
Run it for a month.
Have a set cash prize pool.
When prize pool runs out, the promotion is over .
Obvious requirement would have to be set in place .

    lol some nl4 players would be playing intentionally to get them cracked the 3rd time.

    That way they could win back the losses from time 1 and 2, as well as effectively doubling up time 3 too!

    Back to the sketch pad with this one Irish Man.

    To many people have selective memorys on here so their would be so many people moaning that they had their aces cracked 3 times in a row when they hadnt! They would be complaining that Sky had ripped them off, it would be a nightmare.

    A Royal flush cash bonus would be more appropriate IMHO.

    Obvious requirement would need to be set in place ftw lol .

    Seems to be a regular poker promo in other  pokersites.
    I got one recently it was $100 pay out .
    But once again in a promo like this ,
    it must be in proportion to the size of the pokersite &
    have a very thought out t&c attached .

    Saying this i think it would be a great promo for the ever growing skypoker site .
    Well if not it was worth a mention .

    must try better denis...........

    Alan im suprised to say this but good idea!

    alternatively we have a bad beat jackpot which pays out at the end of each month, have a thread for it and then voted by the community at the end of each month? obviously this would need fine-tuning also

    Not practical TBH John. The forum would go into melt down with claims for this !! Anyway, DJ Toby has won this for the last 12 months according to his thread in Area51!!

    we may need to get bob the builder to build
    a extension on to that bad beat thread lol .

    but bad beat jackpot yep .
    I think skypoker need something like this ,
    i believe most sites have these,
     either aces cracked several times  or royal flush or as you say
    bad beat promos  going .

     But they still will have to spend way to much time checking false claims. Plus the sort of person that already cant accept losing without blaming everyone else but themselves are never going to believe something as flimsy as facts when they have been told their aces havnt been busted 3 times in a row!

     Yep. seen it bud.

     Still feel that the people that would want it most would be the bad beat merchants (the woah why does it always happen to me people). They would also be the ones that would moan about it the most if it was implemented.

     Plus the money would have to come from some were to fund it and I would much rather keep the chance to win free entrys into tournys in the variace compititions that Sky Poker do, than to introduce such promotion that would take up the funds and way to much time for them to check all the claims of all those that think they have won when they havent.

    I also got the pm's.

    Thnx Irish man.

    It says it only appplies to 25nl and above. Which makes sense. 

    But that will cause obvious problems on this site, Maxally will do his "something for the lower stakes players" routine again. 

    For that reason alone, I have changed my mind and think it's a great idea

    Its wrong to give in to these guys .

    yep your choice ,  i just think a promo like this or what alan or young gun said  would be new to skypoker .

     and way to muc h time for them to check all the claims of all those that think they have won when they havent.

    This is done on other sites regularly , i am sure if it is this common its easy to set up .

    p.s but good it is to discuss this with you bud .

    And ALL your claim hands will be shown on the poker clinic! (as usual!!) and they will have to then have a 4 hour slot.

    In terms of the issue with NL4 players, rather than £10, could say X BBs paid into the account?

    How many though? - I reckon 4, or 5 max.

    They don't deserve it coz they prob played their hand wrong anyway.

    If you start getting too soft with low stakes players, they wont be low stakes players for much longer!!!
