Why is this site full of bad players, which rely on luck and get given it by the bad software, also all these players use that stupid idea that some cleaver sod thought would be good to put on the website and thats called the 'hot-o-meter' this needs to go its turning players into fishs and making players think hands such a K10 are good cards, if you were to ask a professional if they play K10 they would say no its a rag hand suited or not!

Wow, software that "gives" luck. I wish that I had the patent on that. If this site is truly made up of bad players, then just rejoice and make the most of it.
As for the "hot-o-meter", I think that it's just there for a bit of fun. I'm pretty sure that no-one would take it seriously - certainly not for long.

Sounds like someone lost to K 10 when they felt they shouldnt
As for the "bad" software helping lucky players I played on 5 different sites over the weekend and got lucky on all of them so "bad" software isnt exclusive to Sky
Then again I also got unlucky on all of them, so maybe we will just put it down to variance

if you were to ask a pro he would tell you that he'll play any hand dependant on the situation. This is a situation based game not a game of who has the best cards - Remember that and you'll go far my friend lol
Seriously though, the software doesn't dictate who wins and any cards are good cards in the right situation
P.S you look to be doing well at MTT's but very badly at STT's (my problem is not unlike yours) I'm going to quit stt's as i don't make any money from them - You've dumped 2/3rds of your profit from MTT's playing sit n go's. I'd look at my own game before just throwing random comments out
Just started on skypoker site and was fortunate enough to hit the final table of a tournament here. Advanced on to go head 2 head (with fairly equal stacks) with the eventual winner and was overall quite pleased with my play but the question I have is this:
I was comfortable with the play up to and including the final table until I got to head2head and then I found the pace of play and the size of the blinds completely running away with me. Do you have any advice when going head 2 head?

If you unregister you will just lose your seat, however if you can play next Thursday i'd have a word with customer services and see if you can transfer it to that game instead. Not sure if they CAN do that but it won't hurt to ask.
Hi Tikay, first forum post! (Apart from wishing SkyPoker Happy Birthday!) Relativley new to online poker but play alot of live play, reasonably successfully (Only been 18 since December and poker has been my life since!)
I'll be honest, i'm not doing well atall ! struggling with the transition between live and online play. As a student i don't have much money so BR hasn't ever been above £50! Currently on around £30.
Is there a way to manage this well? Or do you think it would be best to save some pennies up and invest more?

Hi MintSam
Welcome to Sky Poker and the forum, most of the players use the 5% rule where we will risk no more than 5% of our bankroll in any game, I found grinding up in the micro stakes Sit and Go Double you monies.

Oh right ok, so literally like £2 DYM's and 2p-4p cash tables? NOT had a good day today, decided to play the 3k double stack. Had 10k just after the break and decided to make the most outrageous play betting the pot with air on a 10 high board which probably would of worked in live play. Still, I'll get used to the tinternet. BR £19
Thanks for replying mate i thought everyone was just going to leave me hanging :P

Hi
Lol, we always answer, not maybe straight away, but we do answer, yup low DYm,s and low cash, the problem is, if you dont, you end up playing with scared money and lose your temper, good luck on the tables

I was given a bit of advice never try to bluff if there is an ace or a ten on the flop as it is likely that someone has called with a rag ace trying to get two pair or if there is a ten, then someone has a good drawing hand as most players call face cards hoping to catch something on the flop.
hi tikay . this is not a question , but a request . i posted a poker version of the poem " if " on general chat . have a read . when i did it i imagined it was you reciting it . passing down good advise as you do on the box . if you do please read greghoggs edited version as he kindly cleaned it up for me .
If Sky made a movie about your life, do you agree Michael Caine should play you or do you think somkeone else would be better? If so, then who? Posted by Ms_Chips
Train A, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet?
