I tried to delete a Post of mine which I was not fully happy with, & it's entirely possible I Deleted his &/or yours too, in error.
But, as you note, I quoted his Post in my reply to him, so it's not as if I as trying to hide it, or swerve it.
If I Deleted in error, my apologies, though.
Am having a right mare tonight.......
Roll on tomorrow, it can't be this bad!
Prob best I say no more.
Listen to this - a true story.
A Sky Poker Client wrote to 865 yesterday, & said "tikay is the most disingenuous toxic **** I have ever heard, you should be ashamed of employing him, he never stops taking the mick out of the cockneys, I'm sick of it".
And I'm thinking, err, what? Me? Cockney bashing? Remind me when & where? Like, EVER. I replied to him & asked. He never replied. There's a thing.
meh

I'm out of my Tourneys now, so a PS to "SOLIDSTAN".
So, you did not play Manchester GUKPT, as you had not, at that time, accepted TSP Membership, at least, based upon my records & the e-Mail you sent me Feb 2nd, which was after the GUKPT.
However, I told you that we would hold good to the promise of the £1,000 Live Event, even if it fell beyond the January-March quarter.
The next GUKPT was last week, but that was £1,500, so that was not appropriate.
So the next available GUKPT will be at Walsall, in April, & you are invited to play that based upon your "unused" £1,000 Tourney for the January-March quarter.
As far as I am aware, Claire (Channel 865) has been in contact with you, too, as to TSP evenings Online, & the appearance you made on the Channel a month or so back.
If there have been failings our end, I hold my hand up, sorry. But I think the players have a responsibility, too, & if ANY TSP-ers ever have any problems, or are unsure what's going off, they all know, & this includes you, that they can ring me, or write to me, any time, & I'll sort it.
As to the latter point, I believe stuff such as this should be handled privately, quietly, & discretely, between the two parties, not stuck up on Forums, but once it's out there, Sky Poker have the right to reply, & to correct any misunderstandings. I do not believe for a moment that Darren intended any malice, or harm, he was just making his point.
Even so, I'm more shocked & at a loss to explain it than you or anyone else, because I handled the whole thing, from start to finish, & have all the e-Mails & records, so I'm totally non-plussed by it all, to be honest. I'm sure there's an explanation for it all, & it'll come out in the wash. But Darren was not entered for GUKPT Manchester, as he had not accepted TSP Membership at the time. We were not going to pay £1,070 for his chips to be blinded away, & we wanted ALL the TSP-ers there, to make a nice celebration of it. But we cannot force people to come along.
For initial reference to the situation between SOLIDSTAN & 4FINGERSAA, see Pages 5 & 6 of the thread, HERE.
Note also the advice of MAXALLY on Page 6.
It took almost a month from then, to Darren accepting his Membership.
We had no issues with that, & never at any time pressurised him, but I did counsel him to think carefully before rejecting the Membership.
At the time, & he will confirm this, & it may be alluded to on that thread, Darren (SOLIDSTAN) was more than happy to accept the £700 2nd Prize, if the Membership would be awarded to 4FINGERSAA.
Sky Poker, however, did not find that fair & reasonable, & we felt that those who took part would not be happy about it, either.
In effect, it would set up a bartering system for the high finish places. Sky Poker were never going to permit that, & we wanted Darren to accept his rightful prize, & we had no problem with him delaying it whilst he thought it through carefully.
I can't begin to tell you how badly I've been since Saturday, & how much I regret that Meal. Were you OK the next day?
I blame James Cardigan.
disappointed that the prizepool wasn't looked at. i really liked Penguins idea of flatting all the money places so that people who didn't want the TSP seat had to carry on playing for 2nd. make it 200£ each for 8-2nd so that anyone who doesn't want the seat can just sit out knowing that they aren't potentially throwing away several hundreds of pounds away.
it sounds as if that SolidStan's life/work committments meant that he couldn't use being in TSP to its full potential, and if the prize struture was flat then he may not have won last quarters final.
TSP is a great, amazing promo but in order for it to work you need to be able to put in a lot of committment, which some people just can't offer.
All fair comment.
I can say that I have been told by Adam, that there MAY be some detailed changes to the qualification criteria for the April - June quarter, but of course it cannot be changed for the current quarter.
These will not be made known until next week, afaik, but I guess - I honestly don't know - it MAY include that idea. Or may not.
I’m sorry for any confusion and for hi-jacking yet another thread. The sole intention of my post was to help improve an already amazing prize. It was at SPT Luton that many players had asked me if I would if I would be taking part in the GUKPT. I could only tell them the fact that I did not know what maybe happening about the GUKPT. The only information I had about the future of my TSP experience was the contract, which I had read through again just last week and it does say the contract was to end on 31st of March, and this was all the information I had.
But wow, I am again very excited about the GUKPT, especially after an amazing time at SPT Luton. I could see as could everyone else that Tikay was a very busy man at Luton constantly with a microphone in one hand, and keeping us very informed about all the action going on at the other tables, adding massively to all the excitement.
Again my only reason for my above post was to help improve the experience for future TSP’ers, and as I also said before information with as much time as possible maybe some form of schedule would have made things much easier for me to know what was happening and when, for me to try and make work arrangements around it.
I would also like to clarify that everything Tikay has said above, is absolutely spot on to the letter, including some details that I had forgotten . Although I was also true when I said I had no idea what my future in TSP was, and that I had no idea if I would be invited to any GUKPT.
Good luck to all contestants of the next TSP quarter, it IS a very worth while prize.
Thanks in advance.
