i signed up on sky yesterday, been havin a browse through the forums, gotta be totally honest & say that the poker clinic certainly aint the best poker strategy forum ive ever seen lol! dont get me wrong this seems like a cool place & a good community & stuff but seriously what is going on with the type of hands being posted? its either pointless threads, badbeats or braggin posts! where is the strategy? the actual tough spots? anybody ever got any reads on players? im new & yep prob coming across like a tool but just curious is there ever any proper poker discussions? or have i just come at a bad time? seems like its the blind leading the blind

id agree its not the best on the web but its defo not the worst. I think your above statements will happen on 99% of sites in honesty with very few being different. However i think this past month has been pretty bad for it.
also welcome to sky and enjoy ur stay. out of curiousity where did you play before hand, your comment seems like ur an experianced player.
think your right tatty, like don says you seem to know what your talking about so some im put from yourself would be good. there are some very good players on this site unfortunately MOST dont post in the clinic, there are some good exceptions to that rule and feedback from these players on the whole are most welcome.
it should be for people showing hands not paragraphs of crxp show your hands then people can put ther input in Posted by dogcharlie
People post their hands here for feedback. Others who write long replies are trying to provide that. Sure, sometimes posts may end up being too longwinded, and a lot of hands posted are trivial, but most people learn something from posting here

People are never gonna post reads where their opponent can read them. Youre never gonna get any high level of discussion as long as people are posting under their player names. So the forum is bsaically a tool for low stakes players. I think theres some useful advice posted and theres not a ton of threads or posts to wade through so its easy to find.
If I had a hand to discuss, I would feel far more comfortable doing it on this forum or Blonde than some of the other strategy forums. For me sites like 2+2 and P5's are two of the worst to ask for help on. In terms of useful strategy content, P5's and 2+2 are excellent, however the members there make it an unfriendly and dog eat dog environment to hang around in. Getting insulted by an underage 17 year old who doesn't shave yet brings forums like 2+2 down. So far, I have enjoyed the Sky forum and have only started reading the poker clinic section. The community element reminds me of the Blonde forum years ago. There aren't many of us here playing at the higher limits, so all the content I have seen so far has been helpful.
Also, I don't think 2+2 has any losing players. They all win and win a lot if they are to be believed, lol.
If your looking for something more then the internet is very big )
But you have to remember players that post here play on the site so therefore there's not going to be much indepth discussion.
Plus the canny do actually advo here aswel so it will never be a 2+2, which if I am honest is only for those serious about indepth maths and strat.
bitesize learning please for the uneducated so the clinic provides a grounding The clinic will provide players with the basics, the rest you really have to go to training sites and learn yourself
I have found reading certain points of view have sent me off in certain directions investivating there POV Especially players like lol_raise/Dohhhh/GT/Coxy etc......
as this thread as been bumped ive just noticed something i posted a couple weeks back and tbf i think it makes me sound a bit of a tool and i regret writing it because i was wrong & ill happily hold my hands up!
sure some hands people put up are pointless, some of the advice given might not be the greatest advice but what i didnt realise at the time of writing my initial post in this thread was what a great community spirit you lot have here. and tbf i was very quick to judge because truth be told alot of the advice and discussions are actually good and interesting! is it 2+2 standard? obviously not! but like someone posted above the sheer arrogance in the majority of the posts let it down. for the beginner, lower limit player the skypoker clinic is actually very useful & i take back what i said.
also offshoot your reply too what i posted (this first time ive seen it) is spot on, i never actually considered that tbh, i posted on the 24th dec, that was the day i signed up on sky, it was also xmas eve so very high chance i was pretty drunk at the time of postin! but yeah what u said makes perfect sense
one thing i would suggest though is that when people are putting up hands to discuss is that they remove player names, i dont really agree with discussing a hand when the villian in question has his name there for all to see, they play on the site too and even if they dont post on the forum they shouldnt have to have there hands shoved on here showimg everyone how they played it! i know i wouldnt be too impressed if it was me.
keep up the good work anyway guys! shame some of the bigger players dont post on here much
