rich what if all 6 players go all in first hand then 1 player has 6 chips yes?? we have had this exact same tournament on sky before, i can remember winning it and i got £50 for winning it, it was a freeroll.
how about a £1-50 bounty hunter satellite for the £15000 semi that starts around 18:00 so that those of us who work during the day still have a shot at getting in cheap seems unfair all the cheaper stellites are on during the day. Just a thought - in fact why not check that all the satellites are spread evenly across the day. Posted by SPLIFFTER
18.30 would be even better as most nights I'm not home until 18.15ish!
i just joined today.found it hard to look up previous hands.like it was easy to see who won and it would say who won the hand and what they had but no details about the action.so you couldnt look back to see if you were ahead on the flop.now i know you can probably look it up on hand history even though its prob a bit of hassle but why not have it in the chat bar thing.as an option so you can look it up.also i found it very hard to scroll up that chat box.sounds like im moaning a lot.but when i joined my first tourney today everybody was sound and i asked about a couple of things like that and got answers.im irish and usually play on p addy power but i think il stick to this now.also i watch it on tv.like tk.god i love trains too.stay up at night thinking about them.and the odd time have to change my pyjama bottoms after,haha.oh easier bet size options would be good too.and i agree about the guy with the half chip post.
run 6 touraments mon-sat where the winner of the each tourney goes into the final against 6 sky poker people, any presenters , anaylst and the top 3 wi prizes like sky poker hoodies and a day at sky poker behind the scenes and the winner gets a day wiv a pro to help there game
Hi, Sky guys, Could your techies go to work on the idea of making webcams active on certain tables - for those skilled enough to keep a poker face when they're shoving all in with 9-2o? Seriously, it might be fun to see who you're playing... Posted by ANDYJKS
the only thing id like to see is resizeable tables, i always have to have it on 'mini-mode' on my netbook :-( and more things to use accrued poker points for, (tournament tickets, merchandise - hoodies, deck of cards, set of chips etc..)
How about a one off, possibly regular tournament of Greek hold em. the game is exactly like texas hold em except you have to use both hole cards to make your hand, for instance you need to have two suited to make a flush, and two connected cards to make a straight, i think it'd make an entertaining change to the usual format. Any thoughts?
Reading this forum recently, it strikes me that Sky could make an immeasurably positive contribution to the entire community, merely by adding a simple new function, which I'm sure could be easily implement by anyone with a soldering iron; a brain cell; an O' Level in Physical Education; and a modicum of common sense. Are you ready?
My suggestion is, to fit some new buttons into the playing pane of the Poker Tables, labelled: “Auto-Abuse”.
I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of angst-ridden Goths (or people who have listened to too many Girls Aloud records backwards), who appear to expend an unfeasible amount of time and energy in abusing other players, when their time would be better vested in learning to play Poker better.
So... People; Brothers; Sisters; we can help these mentally challenged individuals. I propose that we employ a small cluster of new buttons, just below the table graphic (next to the betting sliders), simply labelled from A to F ('F' being the most serious abuse). Here's the key to those insults...
If you feel aggrieved, wronged, cheated (or drunk), when playing, then you'd simply hit the following buttons, to automatically populate the chat-box with fetid invective:
A = You are a donk; you can't play; and I shall visit your house and smite you sharply across the nose with a rolled-up copy of Bluff Magazine, if you persist in calling my raises with utter botty-wipes.
B = You really get on my nerves, you do. Please play on another table with immediate effect, because you cause the chemicals in my brain-synapses to become flooded with venom and vitriol. Additionally, you should be aware that I have a low-sugar intake and bruise easily. Also, I will tell my Dad (who is bigger than your Dad, incidentally).
C = Your mother conducts questionable acts with blunt, rubber objects.
D = ur bd plyer and yr feet sml ov cheese (Note: I've included this insult for the more cerebral and tactical abusers).
E = *76% #$2@@ brfdggh?><!! (Note: I've included this insult for two groups of players: Those with fat fingers who make lots of spelling errors; and those that are so enraged and perplexed, that they don't know what they want to scream, and would therefore prefer to leave the interpretation up to the perpetrator of their rage).
F = You are living proof that members of Her Majesty's Constabulary actually copulate with their own Alsation Sniffer Dogs. Har-Har, Har-De-Har, you buffoon of gargantuan proportions.
In the interests of balance – and if there's any room left – I'd respectfully suggest a separate panel of buttons, that allow the victims of abuse to respond in an appropriate manner. Their responses would be:
G = u2, sunshine.
H = bye!
I = omg, lol, n1!!
J = I know for a fact that your mother enjoys precisely the same lewd activities... Thrice nightly, in fact!
K = Please desist from this puerile activity, as it only reveals you to be a uni-browed, Banjo-playing hick with bad teeth and the social decorum of a gnat.
L = I know, and I love you with equal depth. Now give me your chips, in order that that I may spend them by wining and dining your aforementioned mother at Nando's (as a prelude to assisting her with the whole 'blunt-instrument' caper).
Finally; I know what you're all thinking: I'm a giving guy who is far too generous with his help, and one day, it's highly likely that some person of questionable provenance, will take my generous spirit for granted, and trample upon my delicate and tender heart. My friends, when that happens, I shall be glad to sacrifice my loyalty and faith, for the good of *sniff*, the community... and all of you guys. I love you. Don't go changing.
I NO THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DRAW OUT THE TOURNYS .. BUT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA ,IF WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE LAST 50 (FROM SAY A 500 PLUS ENTRY) THE BLIND LEVELS WERE SLOWED DOWN IN THERE INCREASES. AT THE MOMENT WHEN YOU REACH THIS STAGE IT IS NO LONGER A MATTER OF SKILL BUT TOTAL LUCK, IE FOLD OR SHOVE ..THE SLOW DOWN NEED NOT BE HUGE, BUT 2 OR 3 MINUTES MORE WOULD BRING BACK A BIT MORE PLAY AND LESS PUSH IT AND SEE, JUST AN IDEA ??????

i am getting more and frustrated playing in the free roll tournemnets where you get to a table and three or four players are away. i would like to suggest that if players are away for a whole level of play their chips should be shared around the players actually playing on the table. its not fair on trying to make your way in the tournement when other tables have 6 players all playing and you trying to pick up chips with only two playing.

I have to go now, as I have something in my eye.
