    Because seemingly only 1 person can do it and they can't do it on a day with a "n" or a "r" in, or some such restriction. I think it's a Leeds bye-law from 1872.

    So are we expecting a picture that will confirm that your good lady is expecting, and that you were not expecting to be expanding your family quite to this extent?

    No idea, Gary.

    If I could do it, I would, but I don't have the access required.
     
    I have made my views known to the Office "vigorously". Once or twice, or maybe 100 times.

    Sorry, don't know what else to say.

    It must be because they don't trust the source :-)

    Bump for pic reveal.

    Your local mothercareworld will be disappointed though.

    5 days to mod a pic #sortitoutsky.

    PS Tikay - not aimed at you - I know you are on our side with this. Maybe send the thread "upstairs" and see if they think 5 days is reasonable.

    And I thought it was tough and tiring bringing up twins...

    On the picture issue I have to agree, it is a little frustrating. I would post more pics in my diary, especially during Vegas time but by the time they are approved any context is lost.

    I am sure there are good reasons behind the policy but maybe when members have been on Sky for X amount of time or made X amount of legitimate posts their pics could be auto approved and this priviledge revoked if they abuse it.

    P.S. As Phantom said I realise Tikay is on our side with this one.

    Congrats on the quads Gary!

    Can sky not implement say a 100 post rule before they allow people to post images, and then let them be insantly uploaded once the 100 post threshold has been reached?
    Would prevent people posting inappropiate things whilst improving the quality of forum posts. Ridiculous that regular community contributors have to wait days for photos to be given approval. The moment is gone by the time its allowed

    I thought it might amuse our Omaha friends. I was dealt quad 2's whats worse it was plo8. I am sure Tikay can explain just how good a hand this is :-)

    Quad 2's in Omaha is probably the worst hand you can have in any form of poker that I know! Against any paired hand it is drawing dead and it will on average only have 8% equity against a random hand. The very best it can possibly do (that I can think of) is 16.67% equity against a hand like KQJ3r (no low possibility, no flush possibility and as few straight possibilities whilst satisfying the no low possibility)

    Just about the worst hand to go/call all-in pre with.

    However as marky suggests you do have excellent bluffing options on a low only board. A34 rainbow flop for example.
