Hey Guys n Gals

ShaunyT

Hello peeps.

Didn't see an introduce yourself section, so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Just wanted to say hi. Been playing infrequently on sky for a few years. While I don't think its the best site around the friendliness of the place is to be commended and I wanted to get a bit more involved in the community.

I don't play cash much on here, usually MTT's the odd SNG. Bagged myself a 3rd place finish in the 10k bounty hunter just before Chirstmas for my best result on here. My aim is to get to a live sky event this year.

Anyway goo d luck on the tables and hope to see some of you around.

Cheers


Shaun

Hi Tikay.

Ive just tried to post a hand from the afore mentioned Tourney, ive followed the advice on the BBV section but when I post the hand its all messed up. Ive basically opened the details of the hand in the table format (minus the hand history number- as per the advice. ive also tried it with it) and copy/pasted. Any ideas where im going wrong?


Cheers

hi Shaun,

are you going to the hand history from this page , at the top or from the poker lobby?
it works better from this page

Fire away, any question but THAT!

I'm not into Hand Histories, never Posted one in my life, & only read them if it is a choice of reading it or talking to Orford.
 
I'll guarantee though that very shortly, someone will come along & explain how to Upload a Hand History.

Tikay10

Ha, they already did!

Thanks Devon Bloke.

I was doing it from the lobby. I'll give it a whirl from here in a sec. Cheers mate.

I'll leave it up if it comes out a mess. Might offer some clue as to what im doing wrong.

devonfish5

and before you start to make it go 'blue' at the bottom is a slide bar.. slide it to the right first. then 'go blue'

it will then post up the whole hand properly  gl

It also sometimes doesn't copy right depending what IP you are using. EG. I can not copy hand histories whilst using Chrome, but can using Internet Explorer.

Welcome to the forum BTW. Try not to listen to Tikay too much....he is 105 years old and waffles a lot and gets confused

Ha, awesome hand!

1) You want those calls all day & night, & twice on Sunday. You'll lose now & then, but don't worry, you win it 4 times in 5. Play that exact scenario 10,000 times & you'll be a millionaire.
 
2) Why did you bet so much? Never mind why he called so much, that's completely irrelevant, they do what they do, & we do what we do. Generally, that overbet only gets called by a hand that beats you, & it folds out all the worse hands. Not this time, mind......

It was the first hand back after the break, he was a small stack (290 to my 4000-odd) I was on the button and had the blinds well covered (prob half my stack) and it was a bounty hunter. So I guess I shoved for isolation considering people will call a bet of 290 with anything! also if I re-raise to say 600-750 somebody may sense weakness, shove over the top of me with worse and put me in a tough spot where I have to fold.

I hear what your saying about always getting called by better. Good play you think? or not? Bearing in mind it was a Bounty Hunter, and at low stakes they can be mental!!!

Ahh, I'm sorry, I never read the HH properly. Honestly, they make my eyes bleed profusely.

So we were just raising to iso the shortie, yeah, I'd say that is cool, though I'm totally poo at NLH.

The bloke was down to dust, no surprise he would get it in a tad wide here.

Shauny, I'm sure Jac was making a knowing reference to Tikay's misinformed use of literal imagery

AK versus JJ is fairly standard stuff though.
