I fully agree with this. What an advertisement for Sky Poker. ''Come and play high stakes poker at Sky and if you lose big, we'll broadcast your losses and post it in the forum.''
That should bring them flooding in.
Abusing people who agree or disagree is totally out of order too, This forum is declining rapidly IMO. Who want's to be first to tell me to leave? (Form an orderly queue please).
I dont even know the name of the player who James was playing. This thread doesnt mention him. So all ur points are irrelevant.
Anyway im going bed.
beaneh and cottlad, in all fairness your just been 2 massive whingebags who have probably been donking their chips away all day and are now trying to find someone to vent their anger on, and mr kendall got in the way!! nothing wrong with this thread so if you dont like it then dont read it and we would all be better off, for the rest of us here, if we click ignore beaneh and cottlad then their posts will not be seen so they cant annoy us anymore with their moaning!!!!!! grow up lads or jog on, simple really

I haven't played today, I cant have DONKED my chips off yet. That will come.
As it is, I like TK alot and have a good relationship with him. He does/has done/and seemingly can go on forever working like a madman diligently on Sky and there that cant be named. I feel like I can view my opinions here and know full well that he started this thread with the best of intentions. I just believe that someone at sky isn't the best person to be starting a thread relating to results. Etiquette and fairness are the things upmost in my mind (that is most def not a dig at TK before you all complain either!). If you guys want to watch HU that's your right, you open the lobby and watch (and as stated I have no problems with people discussion matches in progress, I just don't like the idea that people that are running the site are also hand picking results, I wouldn't want for the hu opponent to be feeling like he could get different treatment to another player on the site).
If there is anyone that needs to grow up it's you and stoneface. Saying jog on makes you sound like a danny dyer wannabe.
Reposting to tell Elsa to 're-read your post' shows just little repsect you have. This thread has been a discussion and you and stone have been rude and unhelpful.
You'll probably have to block me as there's no way you'll be capable of reading all of that......
I know a few of the high stakes cash players on this site some i have are even friends.
.
Thats right jimifloyds got friends!But some of the high stakes cash players on this thread are just a joke.
The fact of the matter is not about ettiquette but simply protecting there own interests.
No-one has been named and railing the high stakes cash scene is part and parcel of every internet poker site.
The guy who hasn't been named has not come forward and said its out of order so why are you guys bothered.
For the simple reason that you are scared that you may be the one been railed next time and don't wanna get owned in front of an audience lol.
Funny this thread cause the majority of people for it are from all stakes of poker but the ones who are crying are all high stakes cash players,you see where i am coming from
* I have huge respect for Tikay both as a poker player and analyst and as a member of the SkyPoker community. I did not in anyway intend for it to come across that Tikay was intentionally behaving in an unethical way or showing favouritism toward a specific player like some people in this thread have claimed. I believe Tikay to be of sound poker conscience and the pinnacle of poker standards, ethics and morals. He often goes above and beyond what is expected of him within the SkyPoker community and strives to help and advise anybody that needs such assistance.
* My original posts had nothing to do with the Total Player competition. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of the competition and do not take my place in it for granted. I was not in anyway trying to bring the competition into disrepute by, in anyway, suggesting that Tikay was in someway showing favouritism toward a Total Player nominee in James. I believe Tikay to be of sound judgement and integrity and I simply don't accept for one instant that he would ever do such a thing.
I have since spoken privately to James about this and I understand his irritation at mine and others posts on this issue. I have come to the conclusion that it was unwise for me to make the posts that I have and I instead should of kept my thoughts to myself on the matter as the risk of offending somebody, especially Tikay, was too high. I would like to gracefully withdraw the comments that I have previously made and apologise once again for any undue offence that I may have caused. I would urge everybody here to forget about this matter and to continue making the SkyPoker community the best it can be; thankfully with Tikay at the helm that shouldn't be a hard task to achieve.
All the best
Browndog
Good Luck and buy yourself something nice.
Oh and I have read every single post.... what a load of nonsense. I'm never out of forums elsewhere to see who won what and lost what as I watch High stakes HU just about everyday.
wow what a win vwd tikay i do think you are wrong as you did not pm me mate and i missed it lol
only looked at this well after it had finished
very well done tikay for puting this up so that people had the chance to see what looks like a gg between two of skys high rollers
yet again to me you are the best thing sky have your total respect for players and all the time you take to help people out and all the rest of you stuff you do for all of us you sir are a true poker jedi master lol
i would like you to carry on with your posts and if there is any more games like this post again as the high % of us do appresate it
ty again tk
Why are some people intent on making a mountain out of a mouse tuuuurd? I find it incredible that people can come here....post their views...... then be ganged up on by the likes of stoneface with their intelligent comments and well reasoned argument (lol.)
I wanna get things cleared up now if i may.....
This thread is not an issue. James winning is not an issue (massive congrats btw), Naming the loser (which has already been done btw) is not the issue.
The issue IS whether it is correct for a well respected sky employee and figurehead..... and sky presenters live on air...... to be seen as championing a sky regular/friend. I would be quite happy starting this thread myself and maybe would have done if i'd seen the action.... I am impartial though and it would just be 1 guy saying to the rest 'come look at this!'
Let me ask you if you think the following are acceptable:
1) Tikay..... or RichOrf...... or Giddins ... or whoever at sky were to start a thread saying 'woohoo, James is winning loads.... go James go James!!! Oh yipee he's won £10k+ This then gets aired on live skyTV with the presenters there letting off party popppers and chanting and cheering. Go James woohoo!!!!!
2) Sky employee starting a thread simply saying 'blimey, there's some action at £10/£20HU at the moment... go check it out!
3) A non sky forumite starting a thread as per number 1) as above.
4) A sky employee starting a thread about an action game with 'James is getting busy!!! and James is sat with £10k!'
For me my answers would be
1) absolutely not
2) absolutely yes
3) absolutely yes
4) hmmmmm this is encroaching the grey area between 1 & 2 (imo)
This is why i originally posted in this thread..... just my opinion...... not intentially wanting to get at tikay..... just passing on my thoughts about the situation. If you don't agree with me then that's your perogative but puuurlleeeease...... enough of the 1 line childish retorts etc.
PS..... if you think that No. 1 above is totally fine then that's your choice also but for me it would be morally and professionally wrong. If you don't fully agree with No.1 then you at least partially agree with what i'm trying to convey.
Once again massive congrats to James...... and to Tikay.... I'm a little disappointed you can't at least see the reasoning for potentially feeling uneasy about this thread but i respect yourself and the other posters views and will now officially shoot the fooook oooop lol.
This is exactly right enough said...
I have also - twice - said that if I offended anyone, it was unintentional, & I apologise.
The suggestion that I am not impartial I find hurtful in the extreme, but I'm not gonna labour the point, my Posts right across the Forum in support of all who play here are all on the record.
Be assured, I will never Post such a thread ever again. My default setting is to douse down forum fires, not cause them, & I feel dreadfully uncomfortable when I see peeps arguing on, & about, a Thread I started.
I'm really not sure what else I can say, or how many more times I can say it.
2) Sky employee starting a thread simply saying 'blimey, there's some action at £10/£20HU at the moment... go check it out!
:-)
wow unreal to me it just seems like it keeps going back to tikay is in the wrong
at the end of the day what tikay has done for every1 on this site i personal believe he can if he wants to support some1 he has every wright to, i have seen him supporting near enough every 1 that has posted at some point in time but what i didn't see is a post being put up about that when he did, the two that was involved have no complaints about it and this to me is just like the 56P snowball rubbish just some1 wants a bit of attention
tikay has done nothing but his best for every1 on this site and to me there is just a hand full of people that just want to push at him
to me this is down right wrong
Guys, we've thrashed it to death, there's nothing to be gained by debating it further, let's move on. Lessons have been learned.
I lose 5 buy ins every day!!!
The dude that lost wont give 2 monkeys as he's obviously rolled for those limits, as they have been playing since the game with james!
It was a thread to get people railing a big game for sky standards, but 2 put it into perspective, its like a 20nl player losing 100 quid, its all comparative to bankroll.
They are rolled for it, they take the hit and move on!
"mountain out of a mouse tu rd" class line, made me chuckle!
