Original Diary of a losing recreational player - The resurrection
A while ago I started a thread 'Diary of a losing recreational player'. Since then there have been imposters and I have been on a journey trawling the depths of various sites looking for the winning formula. This has been all to no avail and hence the resurrection of this thread and my return to SkyPoker. I probably…

RIP Survivor final
Just noticed that there are only 5 people in the survivor final with £320 for 1st and thats it. Does this mean its died a death i thought this was a popular game and realise a few will buy in direct but is it really worth it for £64 when you can buy in a 10k mtt for half that, but a whole week and only 5 in it!. Seems like…

Time for 10x?
Is it just me? It's just in the last few weeks i've noticed you've got to raise bigger and bigger all the time to throw people off junk preflop. The Ace rag is now impervious to the 8x raise at low limits. 10x anyone? This isn't just Sky, there's another well known site where people will play ANYTHING at 1c/2c unless you…

Showing hands in a live tourney.
Was watching Pokerstars Game on TV last night and in one hand Daniel Negreanu showed his cards (77) to the player next to him AFTER he had folded to a raise by Seiver. Now I DON'T play live but thought it strange/unusual/bad form to just show his cards to ONE person at the table. I'm not saying it was against the rules…
