Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Tonight's Deepie is the tikay Sleepie
7pm tonight, £10 + £1, & 11 players entered already.
This now forms part of the Sky Poker Super Seven affordable 10 Seat Deepies. New Names for the Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday Deepies should be made known shortly - we await Sky Rich's decision on those with some interest.
It also forms part of the new "Deepstack League" that FlashFlush has kindly agreed to organise & run, & which has been going for 2 days now. This League is gonna create some well-good banter, & I'm delighted to be part of it.
Be good to get a tidy field for tonight.
I do have just one little problem though.....
More to follow.

Some time ago, way before the tikay Sleepie was started, I agreed to go to Luton tonight with Orful Orford & a bunch of Sky Poker players. (I'll have the Camera with me, so I'll do a write-up of the Evening in a Blog).
I've agonised over this, but I really don't like letting folks down, & I did agree to be at Luton tonight a very long time back.
So I'm afraid I will not be playing tonight's "tikay Sleepstack", which seems rather ungenerous of me, not to say ungrateful.
There you go. Flame away, I'm all yours.
PS - In mitigation, M'Lord, I plan to play the Thursday, Friday, & Sunday Deepies.
go and have some fun Tony let your hair down we will all benefit by the blog you come back with should be a good read
have a good night m8

It's not at the top, where it usually is, within the "Headline Tourneys", it's there in "time order", at 7pm. See, I miss one night, & they immediately demote me, sigh.....
These are the lucky 13 who have entered thus far - they all found it.....;)
Yes, the Orford presence is the only downside tonight. Hey-ho, I'll win the Last-Longer. He's cashed twice from three outings there - but lightning can't strike again.
PS - Have you ever been "frumped"? My Nan - Grandma Angell - used to frump pillows.
One plumps one's pillows, like.
As you say, up to 4 hours for £3 - AND the chance to win a bob or two - AND get in Flash's League. Gotta be Value, that.
By the way what is the format tonight at Luton?
A 20 minute clock "Live" is equivelant to a 5 or 6 minute Clock Online.
So it'll cost me £50, but I'll have a £20 Last-Longer with Orford which will, in effect, get me in the Tourney for £30.
Sky Harry, Rich, & a few others will be there, but I think Sky-Rosie is gonna swerve it. "Virgonian" is still to make her mind up. Women, eh? HuckNall, BennyDip & ChompyIMO will all be present, I imagine, maybe "DngDell too, plus a few other Sky Pokererers.
It is the FIRST rule of a good Poker player - only play with what you can afford.
The great Simon "Aces" Trumper was invited last week to play in the upcoming series of Late Night Poker. The Buy-In was $10,000.
That's above his Bankroll, so he decided to sell 50% of himself to stakers, or backers. Several of us - me included - agreed to purchase shares in him, but the timescale was tight, he only had 2 days to decide (& sell the 50%) before Entries closed.
He sold 40%, so there was only 10% left - & he promptly said "sorry, I'm not playing".
THATS Bankroll Management, & Discipline, by a guy who's been playing for 20+ years. And he's one of less than a handful who have survived the brutal game that long. Because he guards his Bankrioll with his life.
I - we - all want more players to play on Sky Poker - but not above their Bankroll.
My respect for your discipline is immense. Top man you. Don't lose the discipline - you'll enjoy your poker more that way.
You know all those "it's fixed/rigged/the software is bent" Posts we get, mainly in Area 51? They come from players who are playing beyond their bankroll. Every single one. Because when you cannot afford to lose, losing HURTS. Why play a game that hurts?
Ah yes but the word 'cashed' doesn't really tell the whole story, does it Tikay?
What you meant to say is that on Richard's first EVER visit to Luton, he annihilated the £85 freeze-out- WINNING IT OUTRIGHT and taking home £1060.
Yes, I'm pumped up for tonight, I've played myself into form by losing 7 DYMs in a row last night and I'm feeling good. Be afraid.
PS- It's cashed twice from FOUR outings actually. Get your facts right...
Ty mate, my offline performance is more than making up for my online performance right now.
More gory details in my forthcoming blog update, but let's just say at this stage that there's been some 'unforeseen quantative adjustments into negative territory' in the last two weeks...
