TKO ROUND 4

edited December 2009 in Sky Poker Tournaments
I MADE THE LAST 300 BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS WAS PATHETIC AND A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE WINS.dav

    37th a big well done to you,i dont want people to think im a killjoy but this hardly seems to bring into the fore anyones poker skills now does it? surely they could have come up with a more suitable format for this 4th leg.dav

    dave1964, all though im relitively new to sky,i must agree with you,for comming in that position i had to to next to nothing,it was done for me while i just watched,not very sporting,

    I have to agree with you Dav! I quite enjoyed it as a game but as the fourth leg of a tournament its not at all good! You don't want what is basically bingo as a possible decider, whichever team you're on!

    Diggerman i couldnt agree more.ive made a post congratulating team tikay so im not a bad loser by any stretch of the imagination and i would honestly have the same opinion if we would have won.dav

    Hi Dav

    I agree it was a strange tournie but like Daz I enjoyed it . Not saying that because I cashed , it was just fun not being in total control of what you were doing.

    Diggerman, this wasn't a decider, the Deep stack next week is the decider. It's not Team Tk's fault that mighht be irrelevant now.

    Dav I saw your post congratulating our team spirit and it is much apprciated. I hope you join us for the next one, I'd rather be on the same side as a mate especially as you were on my table when you went tonite.

    I thought it was huge fun, though "Roulette" is not something I'd play again unless I had to - but some folks like it, & it's only fair they get a "go" at their game, too.

    It's like a decathlon - you need to have a range of skills to win the Event. Some folks will HATE next week's Deepie, as they don't have the patience for long games.

    But really, if we want to complain about the Format - fine - but we have to moan BEFORE the Event, not after it. Once we agree to take part, we gotta take it on the chin.

    Personally, I loved the fact that it was over in 20 minutes.

    I was able to enjoy my dinner (salmon, potatoes and salad) at 7.30pm without having to abandon the tournament :-)

    P.S. Tikay - I hope you're going to give Lisa-Marie as much abuse for not showing up tonight as I received from Orford (and you, for that matter) over Pasta-gate!

    Certainly NOT. she has a roving Role, a sort of Mistress without Portfolio, she can do as she wants.

    In fact, while tonight's TKO took place, she was hiding under a desk.*

    I kid you not.

    *Not my desk, I hasten to add......

    Portfolios are like pantyhose, right?

    I knew a girl like that once... very popular she was, very popular indeed

    Ah Tikay Tikay Tikay,
    I have no problem with the game itself, I thoroughly enjoyed it in fact, and I cashed as well, Bonus! What I wasn't too keen on was the fact that it COULD (Father Vaigret! lol) actually decide the final outcome of the tournament! If it was the first or second game in the series, no problem, but with it being the fourth game, one team had to be leading and in a position to claim outright victory! Velocity - yes... shovefest roulette (no matter how much fun it is) - definitely not! Oh, and it's not a moan, it's an observation for future reference if and when we get to do this again! ;)

    Thanks for your kind comments Dav and take your point Diggerman.Perhaps it should go earlier in the sequence.

    OY OY OY,I DONT NEED TO CHILL MATE ALL IS FINE AND THE BEST TEAM WON IMO,JUST SAYING LIKE OTHERS ARE AGREEING THAT THIS WAS NOT A GOOD TEAM TOURNAMENT FOR A COMPETITION WITH SUCH HIGH REGARD.dav
  • edited December 2009
      The whole point of the series was fun and last night tourny was just that. I personally hated it but it was exactly what was needed. Lets face it this whole series of events was just a fun way to bring people together at the tables.

    If it was meant to be serious would they have a team captain who

    A) doesnt know where his car is
    B) doesnt know what a straight is
    C) Dyes his hair so he doesnt look like Tikay's older brother

     So just enjoy it for the silly fun that it was.

  • edited December 2009

    Was a great game came 3rd, unlucky not to get 2nd but hey well done all team tikey

  • edited December 2009
    it was all free money wots to moan about
  • edited December 2009
    It's been free money and a great laugh.

    I've been playing and winning for a few years now yet I felt soooooo pleased when I won the tourney last week as it was shared by a team. Thats what its been all about - fun.

    Too many times poker is taken too seriously by too many and this series has proved that it can be tremendous FUN.

    Hi Vaig hunni

    I personally think that roulette wasn`t a good idea for a 5-leg tournament like this, no matter at what position the tournment was placed. xxxxx
  • edited December 2009
    If it was me, i would just have all Velocity tournaments (mainly because TKO Leg 2 was a Velocity tournament which i won and i had a £500 Guaranteed Velocity 1st place on Tuesday Night lol!)

    Don't know how i'm going to approach the Deepstack but as long as an Orfordite win then that will cap off a rather enjoyable series which has been great to be a part of.
