Just wait for him to fall asleep...

Hello  ;welcome;

my question is why did the 3 come on the flop last night when i had Ace-king versus Ace-three. How can that be fair?  ;reallyamsorry;

Hello and welcome.
 :)up

 :hello: and welcome to blonde.

Is there any chance that Neteller be added to the list of depositing options ?

I would then join you for a game occasionally.

lol

you have all been fooled guys i feel another pokergirlie (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=1584.0) coming on

Actually, they are all Ladies, with offices in Hoxton, East London, & they are all keen poker players. Except Norbert, who's a dog.

yeah yeah yeah heard it all before and it ends up with sunday8pm asking junior out on a date

i am sitting on my hands here so i dont end up making fool of myself again

How are you typing? :dontask:

i am using voice recongintion software

any chance for the sake of our members i could give them a medical and check they really are females

its ok boys i'll take one for the team

Thought I was going to get to make a clever dick joke then.

Do you want a list of annoying features / bugs? Do you have in-house developers to sort it? Interested to know if you have any poker players to test and report on the software as there are a lot of tweaks that would improve the software a lot and most would be really easy to implement.

Oh, and welcome to blonde :hello:. And shouldn't you have your own accounts, or at least introduce yourselves individually?

Big wecome girls......good to see some talent on here  ;)

(current female members excepted of course!)

Hi RichEO, et al,
I am on the development team for this software, please post your comments and/or list of annoying features etc.
Regards.

wilkommen

The main gripes I have are these:

• When you untick auto post blinds, it ALWAYS still posts the big blind and on the next hand asks you if you want to post the small blind, this is 1 hand too late, when I untick the auto post blinds box, I want to leave before it auto posts the BB!
• When you want to leave the table and you just close the window, your player and money are still sat at the table for ages (I'd guess another 10minutes, but I'm not sure how long). This have several annoying consequences, it takes up a seat for other players and it has your money on the table so you can't check you balance properly.
• If you want to leave without just closing the table, the stand and exit buttons are not available most of the time.. To get sit out to show, you have to sit out, and to sit out you have to be in a hand. Sitting out at the particular point just before you post the big blind is impossible if you are playing that hand (exacerbated due to the above problem with the auto post blind occuring  incorrectly).
• The chips stacks are not visible at all times, you can mouse over to see them... but only if the player hasn't got a hometown that is longer than can be displayed on one line. If their hometown is too long the chip stack isn't visible. I first notices this when someone has Newcaste Under-Lyne. Obviously, so it's fair I had to go to my own details and artificially increase the length of my own hometown (anything for an edge).

I might be able to find some more annoyances and I certainly have a few features I would like to see, but as I have 2 courseworks in on thursday another nextweek and some exams to revise for somewhere in between, it's no poker for a week, maybe  ;angel;.

Sounds like a lot of complaining ;reallyamsorry;

You did ask  ;)

Oh and you don't need a graduate in about 2 weeks do you  ;whistle;

Thanks for your warm welcomes - what a very friendly forum. We work as a team so no individual accounts I'm afraid... maybe change the pictures for you if that helps 

Maybe Norbert could have an account... but may be a little tough on the keyboard though.

Thanks for all your feedback - will get back to you on it - and in the meantime if anyone else would like to share their thoughts please do.

xxxxxx

Not a problem - constructive cursing is always a good thing :)

Will let you know about the need for a graduate, RichEO.

Thanks for the offer.

Sits back and waits for the innuendo's to start flying in.........

 ;popcorn;

Why not? If they let a 6 month old monkey have one - i'm sure they'll let Norbert :)

 :hello:

Could you introduce one Tourney a night where the Blinds are a little longer so we can play poker.

Finding tourneys on sky that dont turn into a Bingo fest after 20mins puts me off playing there.

I would agree with that. I like the concept of Sky Poker, its innovative, I've enjoyed apperaring on the show and I can see how it is bringing new players into the market

I also understand that the time constraints of the nightly show demand a comp with a quick structure


However if the schedule of comps (non-televised) had some slower structures allowing sensible poker to be played for longer periods, then those would appeal to a wider range of players and those new players you have introduced once they look to progress.

Three heads are better than one.

Welcome ladies..............
how about qualification on line for a sky live event?????
Once your new players and for sure you are attracting new players have played in a live tourney they will be hooked for life...........you could use your poker pros to train all live tourney newbies

The TV spin offs are almost endless

poker pros? surely you dont mean grandad, norm and ed ;)

oh and welcome ladies, how you doing?

Hi everyone again - Acidmouse and Tightend - slower structures we can put ijn a suggestion for that and see what the SkyPokerGods say! With software feedback you can see we have the Sky guys here on the forum devouring your suggestions!

 Snatiramas- re online qualifications for live tourneys...well there is something already in the pipeline so watch this space - you never know you may even get to meet us!

Hey Ariston - when are you next on the show???

Are you going to introduce a downloadable version of the software or will it just continue to be on the browser?

Could just be me, i am a moron, but sometimes i manage to move the table across in the window and it cuts off the players on the left hand side and there seems to be no way to put it back.

KP

p.s really do like the idea of online satellites for a live sky open tourney!

be careful about running satellites allowing people to qualify to go on the show or a live open of some kind. Several blondites definitely have faces made for radio and you don't want to alienate your audience.

Think I will come down later in the month if thats OK with you girls  :kiss:

Cheers. If anyone else has opinion on where the software is lacking, do let me know here and I will try to improve it with your suggestions.

You could always do this:

Less tells too.

Bemsha can you help king Poker? read up
TY SPGxx

This happened to me a few times as well.  I sussed out that it was when I tried to move the window before the table image was fully loaded.  If you just wait until everything's up before trying to move it, it should be ok.  Otherwise, just closing down the window at an opportune moment and relaunching it should sort it out.

Yup, something is already in preparation, quite soon as well, it's gonna be a bit special, & a trial, as the first of many. It's almost all signed & sealed, & a great day is in prospect.

Tease over.....

Very interesting!! What can it be?
 ;carlocitrone;

Indeed Ed, most intriguing, we must know !

'Allo Gals,

'Ow you all doin?

 :-* ;)

Doing very well thank you Ben... Nice to meet you.

Had any big wins recently?

What's your view on, Sky Poker?

Wow, How do you know my name! I must be in :)

I think its fantastic for good players because the standard of players is by far the worst i have ever seen in the past 2 years.

It isn't the greatest software i hope you don't mind me saying, but im guessing that will improve with age.

No big wins unfortunatley :(

I am guessing the clue was in your Myspace address in your signature my son.

Bainn - you're on point, my son.

Yes, Ben, I did my nosing about on your myspace and blog... very nice.

Thanks for your comments on the show - as you said - early days - and the only way is up.

Have you played the Primo?

I humbly thank you.

would love to play the Primo, but i'm not about tonight, off to watch the England game somewhere with some friends.

Will defo start giving some of the bigger tourneys a crack soon though :)

Thats a very valid point Bainn :):)

What's different in the Primo to the Open, is it just a bigger buy-in or is the structure slower?

Bigger buy in and bigger guarantee.
