I'm doing Thuesday's Five-00 with Orford, PTP on Friday, am at The Vic on Sunday with In-Poker, then Shows on Monday, Thursday & Friday, & PTP on Wednesday, the following week. Can't wait - I miss the Live Shows & PTP very much.
For the pedant police, I am an Analyst, not a Presenter. Orford is a Presenter. The Analyst needs to have a basic knowledge of poker, whereas the Presenter......
Private tourney in the event of no Tour in the next year or so sounds good.
I have managed through the dark arts of persuasion and blatant blackmail to get my partner to start playing. She is now addicted and loves poker. So hopefull we can both try to qualify for future events.
When you back presenting TK?

Funny but just played elsewhere and someone had the same moan about that site. It does even out but some players are poor losers.
When I first started on here at the beginning of the year, I built my bank roll up really quickly (by my standards) by basically putting bad beats on the fine honest poker players that frequent this site. I thought to myself this is easy pickings I could earn a few quid here.
So I bought loads of books sky plus'd all poker shows listened to the fine fine experts on sky poker to improve my game and win more dosh!
However, as I started to understand the game a 'bit' more, I played every spare minute I could even cashing in a few featured tourney's. I even played against the GREAT TK in one of them!!
I thought I was playing better poker but I went broke very quickly by losing to the fish! (of course I was no longer just a fish, I'd read books...) I suffered bad beat after bad beat etc etc. (nothing to do with my bad play or reads)
I was through with poker. It's a stupid game. Waste of time and money and besides I'd forgotten what my wife and kids looked like and the dog was putting on weight!!
I've had about a month off (til pay day) before starting to play again. In the interim I had a quick look at my account and realised that I was just playing far toooo much! I'd ignored all the advice I'd read about; picking times to play when your'e relaxed with no distractions etc.
In the end I was expecting bad beats even calling down opponents hands that I was saying out loud that they couldn't possibly have but inevitably did or if not, made them on the river!
I've read that some software picks out new players and gives them more winning hands but if I believed that then there's no point in continuing to play online and I'd stick to live games and worry about card marking and dodgy dealing instead.
If you want to avoid so many bad beats just observe the table more closely and don't enter pots against obvious fish. If you just have to enter, try controlling the pot and don't get greedy! Pick them off slowly! There's always someone out there who fancies a gamble just make sure it's not against you.
Hope you're off tilt by now but if I meet you on a table and give you a bad beat I apologise in advance!!

thats why sky needs big grtd mtts with play? the more all ins= more bad beats,sky 6 seats less play, blinds come around faster,more cards in deck and so on, its like sky r saying if u dont like it go play on site with better play mtts and better vaule for money,shame skypoker could be the biggest uk poker site,if they knew how to run things? for 1 chat banning me 4 life for saying idiot on ptp cash table, back here again give it another go
All in preflop he would still have had a 35% chance, im not
going to say "why didnt u fold"
I win at poker, then lose at skyvegas....i think this place
is fixed big time. i have a few 20p bets on the cricket,
if i win £2 odd, play poker, place and then a tenner on
skyvegas turns into £20 1 in every 10 times, but never
any higher.....it feels limited, restricted.....tight!!!
theres no point in increasing the bet size is there? if
its an inevitable losing spin
i wonder if that something just happens to be fraud, lies and
bad religion? skybet is sh?T
i ate healthily today as always and
did some sprinting....maybe best
to just only take the leaves outta
ma eating habits.
Big well done to SPONGEDOUG what a fantastic post!!!
Definately one of the best posts i have read on this site !!!
Someone who actually talks sense
I have learnt one thing, don't go all in unless you are possitive your hand can't be beat. A good player should be able to fold a good hand and get on with the next one. A bad player will always moan when they get beat by a lower starting hand.
That my philosiphy, it works for me so lets play Sky Poker! and enjoy it.
