FatBoyFat Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Re: Skypoker So I presume people will be playing in browsers and through Sky interactive. I'm sure this will be a speedy tourny then with very few DCs or timeouts :loon If there is enough added value I'll be in, otherwise I'll wait and see what the speed is like.

I was watching the TV coverage lastnight its was quite interesting especially when the Pro gave a spot prize to a player on my table who was going all in with anything and he termed it as good play :\. I like the short handed format as it leans towards more play but as you say the software takes a bit of getting used to. Did you notice there is a holecard 'Hotmeter' that tells you what to do with your cards. I had K6 off and it told to 'fold em' the next hand I had Q4 suited and it told me to 'hold em' :loon. So for the novices playing and using this tool it is setting them off down the loose drawing route (is this good or bad?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomell Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: Skypoker Was that the hand where UTG went all in with 33 and got called by 10 10,but he managed to hit a 3 on the flop,the other one i think you had in your hand. Then as you say the Pro gave a spot reward of 100pts saying that he liked his aggresive style omg :lol Did you see the woman who was playing in the studio:rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
