    I have only just realised today that top of the pots is actually only the top pots from the TV tables so when I saw the £8k+ pot I thought it was massive compared to them.

    in the very early days when there was still £100/£200 tables there was definitely one pot which was £40k+ which i remember.  there used to be a player called legno(apparently Andrew Feldman) who sat waiting at high stakes heads up tables for action. 

    if i remember correctly he was playing an unknown and the pot was K8 suited for the unknown and AA for legno aipf.  the unknown had stacked legno previously but was playing completely wild and got himself stuck in a bad spot.  AA held and legno finished opponent off pretty quickly after that but the unknown claimed to be a top player at another site and offered to take the action there as he couldnt deposit anymore here.

    Lol, I know this sounds bad but this is funny. 'got himself stuck in a bad spot', classic.

    How would you attract more high stakes players here? is it any thing sky can do?(obv they would have tired/trying by now if they could, but i guess they just go to the site which has the most "fish"

    don't personally thing they should be aiming to attract to high stakes players... its not like players are going to be attracted here to rail the action so they would be better off trying to bring more lower stakes players in. 

    'Got him self stuck in a bad spot' - i was trying so hard to find a nice way of phrasing it lol.

    Some "bad spot" that......

    To reinforce a comment from above, the "Top of the Pots" hands are ONLY from Tables with a TV Icon.

    Hi Shaun,

    Whilst the Business wants to attract a wide range of Clients, "high stakes" players, especially the predatory ones, are not high on the list of priorities, or a market that this Site would prioitise.

    The "wow" hands that so many enjoy watching are not as good for the business as you might think, & unless a site has extremely high top end liquidity, they are not always good for the site in the wider sense, as players often end up going busto, or sending others busto, which is no good to anyone.

    Sky Poker will continue to target sign-ups from a wider spectrum of players, but more especially those relatively new to poker.

    I heard a rumour there was a pot over 100k.

    As for nosebleed stakes, surprised sites offer it doesnt create any more rake than a mid stakes game and I imagine it causes problems for the site when large amounts of money are being thrown about.

    Sure I read party and ipoker stopping games over 5/10 to help liquidity.
