SKY POKER
This Christmas, Sky Poker is playing host to a very special player: Santa Claus!

In the build up to Christmas, Santa will be a bounty player in the headline 8.00pm tournament each night on Sky Poker.

Santa will horde his winnings in his Christmas sack, along with his winnings from any other cash or multi-table tournament he chooses to enter.

These winnings will build the guarantee for the special Santa's Xmas Sack tournament, which will be held on December 27th.

The qualifiers for Santa's Xmas Sack tournament will be the players who knock Santa out of the online tournaments.

In addition to knocking Santa out of tournaments, players can also qualify for Santa's Xmas Sack tournament by demonstrating particularly impressive play on the cash tables or if Santa thinks they have suffered a particularly bad beat.

Sky Poker will also be running various competitions on its forum, where seats can also be won.

Santa’s sack will not just be full of cash; there will be more than £1000 of mystery prizes added along the way, including a HD television, a games console and tickets to the next leg of the live Sky Poker Tour, which will be held in Newcastle on January 9th 2010.

Players can track down Santa each night using the ‘find a player’ function and search for SKY_SANTA.

There will be some nights when Santa won’t be able to play. At these times Santa will receive help from his helpers, SKY_RUDOLF and SKY_ELF, who will play in Santa’s place.

SKY_SANTA, SKY_RUDOLF and SKY_ELF will all be playing under the star avatar to make them easy to identify.

Poker - A Game of Skill?

Poker – A Game of Skill?

The debate as to whether online poker is a game of skill or chance has been raging for years and is a popular topic for poker players the world over.

We often hear stories of Sky Poker players winning million pound prizes after limited experience and previous winnings in the game.

But all in all, there are several skills that need to be mastered to generally become a top Sky Poker player.




One skill vital to every top player is the ability to quickly work things out in their mind as well as an in depth knowledge of the game. This already will keep you one step ahead of your opponents.

Knowing how and when to bluff is key to every great winner. Bluff to often and you’ll be found out! Bluffing skills are mastered over many years and some would even say an ability to act is a great addition to a poker player’s attributes!

Every top player needs to have a good discipline skill. Whilst it’s easy to get carried away when you’re winning every hand and nothing can go wrong, it often does. And being cocky and careless with your poker hands will only make this occurrence more likely.

So whilst an element of luck does come into proceedings – such as which cards you receive etc, it is up to the player to utilise their skills combined with their hand to win.
