Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
The Show goes on. Friday is T-o-T night!
I learned very early in life that when the wind is in our face, it's uphill, & everything we touch goes wrong - a sort of reverse King Midas - is the time when our character & mettle are tested to the full. And, one way & another, it's been that sort of week! I really ought to write a Blog about the trials, tribulations & trevails this week has visited upon me.
For now, though, suffice to say, "sorry" if you were affected by last night's site issues. Your angst is understandable. So is ours.....
But I don't do "give up", so the Show goes on, & tonight, I have a feeling we are going to have some fun playing the game we all enjoy so.
Tonight sees the third "take-on-tikay", & it's at 8.30pm, & costs £5.50 to enter. Details are here.....http://bit.ly/918Xis
The first two T-o-T's were remarkable for the structure, how well they played, & there was not a single complaint about the structure. Who'd have thunk - poker players & no moaning?!
So, I hope you'll join me tonight, at 8.30pm.
A free to enter competition linked to tonight's Take-on-tikay will follow shortly.
You gotta be in it to win it.
Comments
For a Free Entry to the NEXT "Take-on-tikay" tourney, just nominate the TOTAL number of players that will contest...
1) Tonight's 8pm Main Event
2) Tonight's 8.30pm "Take-on-tikay".
I just need the Total really, but please make predictions for both.
Form Guide -
For what it's worth, the Friday Night main Event usually gets around 300 runners.
The "Take-on-tikay" got 427 & 302 in it's two runnings thus far.
Tonight's field sizes will be severely depleted by the World Cup Match between Uruguay & France, which starts at 7.30pm.
At time of this Post, the Main has 24 runners, the T-o-T has 35 runners.
All you have to do is enter as follows;
"8pm Main Event - 150 runners
8.30 T-o-T - 150 Runners.
TOTAL 300 runners."
There will be THREE Free Entries to next week's T-o-T on offer. Anyone who gets it spot-on scoops ALL THREE entries, which of course will be spread over three weks. If no correct answer, the THREE nearest answers will all get free entry for next week's T-o-T.
I'm afraid that as there have been some "late Edits" in these fun comps in recent weeks, I have to close the Free Entry Comp at 7.30pm, so I can audit the replies. Sad, but true.
I'll run a seperate "Free Entry" Comp on another Thread, too, so look out for that.
My entry is.....
Tonight's Double Stack Main Event at 8pm - 150 runners.
Tonight's T-o-T - 150 runners

Great start, thank you very much.
I do think some of the guesses/estimates are a bit high, but I hope they are correct!
When I started the Thread, there were a combined 59 Entries, but it's already shot up to, well, umm...., 63.
Meteoric. Ish.
tikay 150
combined.... 353
ToT-236

I still think you are coming in too high, guys, but I hope you are right!
Here's a clue. The 8pm Main Event has a £3,000 Guarantee tonight, so that suggests the "line" is around 200 runners. But they may have got it wrong.
If anyone wants to Edit/change their guesses, you can still do so, until 7.30pm, at which time I'll be printing off the Thread, & no further Entries or Edits will be accepted.
Current entries (as at 5.40pm) are 30 (Main) + 39 (T-o-T) = 69. MBN.
ToT 259
Total 459
I had not spotted that £600 Gtd Rebuy, so I might well play that myself, too, just to get the feel of how it plays. I'm not really a Rebuy fan as a general rule, but hey, it's Friday, & I'm keen to see how it pans out.
8:00 main event - 222 runners
8:30 ToT - 231
total runners - 453
Tot 202
Total 414
