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.

But its free chips! yummy! less competition and all sites allow the players to be away as long as they want. they pay their entry they can do what they wish.

Hi Adiemel, I can understand where your coming from, BUT , is it fair to the other players in the tourney for you to get all those free chips. I personnally think a better way to do it is, after one level all players that are away should then have to put in the big blind EVERY hand until they bust out of return to the table. This has happened when i've played live, but i have no idea how an online site would work that, probably very difficult.
u should make a tourny that mixes bounty hunter with russian roulette, so say we start with 500 chips like normal and blinds go up every minute, but if u knock some 1 out u get some money off there heads, quick game but fun and i think alot of ppl would play it while waitin for other tournies, plus not many people play the russian roulette tournies anymore so why not make them better to see if ppl like them
i think something as simple as being able to choose from 3 colours for the table to be would liven up game play.say, red green and the usual blue. it would look cool, no?
..well, kind of... ok guys, time for another great competition courtesy of the fantastic little community we have here at Sky Poker. what you have to do? (on this thread) post your suggestions for the sky poker site, we will then be awarding prizes for the top 3 ideas! We will also award spot prizes for funny suggestions that we'd like to do but are probably not able to ( an attempt to inject some humour in this ... Flutnush, where are you? ) having said that please make the ideas feasible... we don't really want anything like "give us a £100000 freeroll" How long do you have? we will keep this thread open for 3 weeks (Friday the 2nd October) - prizes will be awarded the following Monday. Prizes!? we will award prizes for the top 3 ideas (and do our best to make them happen) 1st - £50 2nd - £20 3rd - £10 spot prizes (tbc) only suggestions on this thread will be entered to please shout up on here if you've already had a great idea and posted it somewhere else. any questions just give me a shout. good luck and happy posting!

have a four nations compertition should be good fun
First one i mentioned in another thread about the winners of the televised events having a tournament either monthly or yearly to become the Online tv champion. Or something similar.
Secondly, how about Bounty Hunter xp. The prizepool divded between the players at the start as normal, the more sucessful the player the higher share they get of the bounty prize money (in comaprason to other players in the tournament)
i'd like to see my 15 yr old as an analyst/presenter. she'd be perfect as apparently she knows everything about everything.
i'd like to see the auto censor facility in the chat box, to censor such words as idiot, moron and imbecile. i get called that enough simply walking around town, so don't need it here.
it wouldn't be financially viable to sky, but a sunday 1200-1400 (thereabouts) start, deepstack, 20 minute blinds, 50 quid buy in would be worth playing, and worth playing sensibly.
a pop up message should appear for all players who register for a freeroll and it should say something to the effect of "do not expect good play from people who know how to play. this costs nothing, people play super loose, so no need to get lairy if you get donked"
oynutter came up with a great idea. but, seeing as he said, no blinds, what is to stop a player from never pushing? the game would last for 69 billion years.
we will hopefully run another one of these competitions in the future. unfortunately i can't give you any dates but keep an eye out in the forum for any announcements.
Give us a £100000 freeroll!!! Oh you said we can't do that.
A bad beat competition. Note your table ID number and sent it in. The worst one ie losing with quad tens gets into the open or some other tourny. Once a month would be about right maybe. And people can't send in losing with a straight to a flush, I mean it has to be brutal not going all in pre flop with Aces ect.
How about champion of champion game once a year like a sky world cup. Similar to your league MMT. People that have won the open the most in a year get into a chapions MMT the winner could get x amount of tokens to the Open or just cash.
I'd love to see a proper live MMT on sky. That would be great tv even with pocket cams.
To have some fun whilst playing poker, why not post up a general knowledge question either during a tournement or at a teabreak as some players sit and wait for the five minutes to come and go. If the first correct five answers can be rewarded to a free entry to another tournement, to make sure the judecators get it right the answers will be done on faster first.
First of all, i should mention that i play almost exlusively HU SNG's...
1. We need some kind of "settings" page to save our personal preferences....
2. I absolutely HATE the new "Rematch" and "Play Again" features. It now takes at least 3 mouse clicks to just close the game window. I am perfectly capable of selecting my own games. We need to have the option to disable these "features".
3. I don't multi-table, although i'm considering it. Loading the game windows and THEN having to click "mini view" is a pain in the a-r-s-e. Why can't we choose what size we want the game window to launch? I'm sure many multi-tablers would prefer their games to auto-launch in mini view...

hi Rich
How about extending time between flop, turn and river maybe half second or so this would make the game more exiting
