HI love the show but the ticker tape running along the bottom of the screen is a annoying,and make it look a bit too commercialised
show more cash games - 1 hour a week isn't enough Posted by stokesyph
HI Stokesyph,
First off, i agree with you.
At the moment there is a small cash section on the Saturday Night Open, and of course Cash Unlimited.
However, we are seriously looking into developing our cash coverage..... Hang on for just a little while longer, I promise you the best is yet to come!
Maybe the Sky presenters/Analysts could do a monthly online sng, spread over say the course of a year, points for 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc... and the winner over the whole period then donates the total winnings to the charity of their choice.
Not sure on if this would work in practice but would be nice to see how they all play.
As for something more obvious.. maybe a behind the scenes show re: the filming of one of the major MTTs would be interesting to see that. (maybe it's been done already?!)

Or just have - once a year - a Sky analyst tournament - winner gets the bragging rights - money goes to charity...
A downloadable product is in the mix guys, as is Omaha, but not Badugi at the moment Sats to bigger tournaments is certainly something we will consider, but with only 5 making the Las Vegas team for the WSOP, I'm not sure the wider community wants those opportunities just yet. We'd love to hear your thoughts... Posted by Sky_Des
Hi to everyone My question is why don't you make the channel free to all non subscribers of sky i.e. FreeSat etc ? I expect I know the answer already is that you want to encourage people to subscribe to Sky, but surely the poker site would benefit more if people like myself didn't have to subscribe. P.S. other than that I think this is the most fairest site and most playable about P.P.S. Hmmm I didn't even get a reply to a simple question, begs a question if this just a front to seem if they are listening to us when in reality its more of a worthless bit of PA????? We'll see, watch this space I think Posted by topboy
Hi Topboy,
I cannot answer for Sky Poker, though I'd asume that the issue of free access to non Sky Subscribers is outwith Sky Poker's control.
But Free Acesss IS available - the Channel is Streamed on the Internet, just go to www.skypoker.com, & click "WATCH SKY POKER TV".
Omaha is one of a number of product developments that are planned for introduction at various points over the course of the next twelve months. We'll keep everyone at Sky Poker updated on those developments; and probably enlist some of you to help, as we approach testing. Cheers, Des. Posted by Sky_Des
Woohoooooooo Been waiting a long time for Omaha. Nice one :-)

Can you put me down for any testing? I'm probably your typical low-stakes player when it comes to PLO and I'm used to giving feedback as part of other stuff I do.

I think in your bigger tourneys you should have slower levels ,7mins and 10 mins meens it is much more down to luck than skill. With these levels after the 3rd or4th one every hand someone is basically all in wich leaves no room for bluffs or skillfull play . I understand because its on telly it needs to be a certain time but im sure the commentators would like to comment on some proper play and not just races all the time.

I would like to play plo at sky in the future as i have to play elsewhere when i fancy a game of plo.Des could you drop me a email or post here when the time comes as i would like to test it thanks.
Just a small point, sometime I want the chat box on but say one player will be annoying me swearing or whatever. But I want to see whats being said by everyone else I think an ignore chat button would be really good for the individual. I know what your thinking why just not turn chat off but like I say I may wish to read what the rest of the other players are saying for tells or to size up their ego for later.

I think the issue with a wider distribution is more to do with the channel being a Gambling Channel. I would be surprised if anyone is subscribing to Sky solely to see the Poker Channel.
C-MON sky,answer my question plz.is there any chance of qualifiers for EPT tourneys on sky? Posted by fitzer14
As answered earlier in the thread, large demand isn't there at the moment as witnessed by the WSOP satellites. It's certainly an area Sky Poker would like to develop though, and something we'll look at carefully in autumn.
A couple of ideas - show sit and go's and double money sng's in a hour show (as is done with cash currently). Tactics and skills could then be discussed and bubble play analysed as well as the chance to watch the table dynamics throughout. Also, it would be great to have a large Sunday tourney - maybe starting a lot earlier (like the other poker sites Sunday mtt's) with the final 3 hours being shown throughout / or instead of the Sunday programme. Posted by phil12uk
Hi Phil. The sit n go and double your money show ideas are being planned so that will be going ahead on the channel shortly. We should get some clear strategy ideas from the analysts as to how to beat those formats. The format of Sunday evening's Open show is also under review, and we'll advise how that develops in the next few weeks.

There is functionality in development to allow players to ignore someone's chat.
i`d like to suggest some satellites fot gpukt events ........ a few shirts an caps to promote sky at the festivals Posted by themackem
Agreed. Generally I would say Sky Poker should run satelittes to GUKPT and any other event that IN-POKER cover. Then they can also film the fortunes of their qualifiers at these events for the show
