At the risk of sounding like your typical whinging poker player, here's what I don't like so far.

No way of saving hand histories to disk. I appreciate that you might want to ban HUDs, and if so fair enough, but I'd still really like to upload hands into HEM and look at why I've cocked it up again later. You aren't going to get many people posting them on here either.

Why when you are in the small blind and you raise, is the total raise. E.g. my Small Blind is 2p. I adjust the slider to 16p. I press raise. My raise is now 18p. I'm pretty sure that's not what anyone wants.

I'd like to know how much is in the pot not including any action so far. So for example...

The $2.62 figure is missing. Is that $1.25 bet a half pot bet? A quarter pot bet? On Sky, I have to do some mental arithmetic that makes me play slower.

Is there really any need to cover up how much money someone has when they are ready to act. If I'm planning on doing a sexy squeeze with my 63o, I'm going to want to know how much AVOCET is playing. Now I have to wait for him to act, then decide. In fact I've just noticed it's worse than that- it will say "Called" for a few seconds, then show me how much he is playing. Bang goes another few seconds.

The Raise and Raise Any preset radio buttons make no sense in NL or PL poker. If you start spreading limit, then fair enough.

Other players cards are too small, and I run the risk of missing who still has cards.

The games play too slow. That's got to be  a big problem for you. Not sure how much you can do about it, but one point I've noticed is that it pauses for a few seconds after showdown unnecessarily.

If you mouse over them whilst they are thinking their balance will be shown,unless they have tweaked their town to use 2 lines.Alternatively balances are shown at all times in miniview.

good start to my sky poker, £62 up since yesterday, really enjoying the "Double or Nothings" - have only lost a couple so far and seem to be running good, not really played this format before on the usual suspects but seem to be able to cash even when I am loosing say 40% of my stack

Look, I know. What I'm trying to suggest is things that can be easily fixed, and might encourage me to play more, especially since the play is astonishingly terrible. They've written it in Flash, so it's never going to be as good as Tilt,

P. S. You base all of your decisions on the Hot-O-Meter, you do

In reality though, one small change can take 2 years so what you call 'easy fixes' really aren't. Not  that long ago we didn't even have the ability to see mucked cards or look at hand histories!


Also if they remove the hot o meter I will stand no chance..... Sad

I love sky poker.

Found I had £10 on there I never knew I had.

Got it in with KK against KK.

I sure still have money left in my account.

If you are (potentially) raking £4k per month, please drop me a PM, & we'll have a chat. Wink
