Sky losing the plot

omg_u_call

I used to enjoy playing my poker on this site but as the months has gone on I have started to realise that standard on here is dropping and will continue to drop unless Sky look out how badly they run the MTT's.  Bounty hunters used to be fun when they 1st started but now there seem to be a major overkill on here.  I dont understand how they can run 3 bounty hunter main events a week and then still have another 4 high roller bounty hunters.  But if that was not enough Why not run another 3k bounty hunter at 20:30 a 2k bounty hunter at 21:00 and then maybe a 1k a bit later.

What has happened to the deepstack or freezeout tournament?  Now they got this new timed tournament structure that will only damage the game we love even more.  People are encouraged to gamble on this site even though we are suppose to be playing a game of skill.  I have had enough hearing about people losing with premium hands to the likes of 8 2 o/s or 2 3 etc.  all because they want the bounty but dont look at the bigger picture.  How can you call 30bb with 8 2 0/s and when you get lucky all the other players will tell you it was a nice hand.  

I do believe that Sky will never produce a top British pro because of this.  I do respect a lot of good players on here and have nothing against anyone who plays on the site.  You can understand that sky is getting in top pros from other sites to come and do hand analysis but why get someone like Ross Jarvis who is a very good cash player to comment on tournament play as he has said himself he doesnt like it.  I think to be fair there are only 3 people on Sky that can give out advice on all forms of the game and they are Tikay, Carlo and Julian.

But as for now I have played my last hand on sky and have moved on to another site that can offer the games I want to play and the standard is much better.  It will be no suprise to any of you that I am not the only one leaving but 10 other regulars have joined me with a few to follow.  So sky has lost 10 priority members in the last 4 days and I expect the number will only go up.

Good luck to you all and I hope the site will improve over time but till then I am off.

Don't know why you complain about playing versus bad players, defies logic :S

Have to agree with the lack of freezouts, BH dominate - but they are popular.

I doubt anyone has really thought about this prperly.
This site is linked to Sky BINGO and Sky VEGAS, you wonder why it's full of gamblers taking long shots )

think about it, if this was a pure poker only site then the standard would be better overall


all the best

Strangely enough I would be looking for a site where the standard of play is worse
