    In Response to Re: Time to take-on-tikay? : Hi Margate, Having been in a similar position in a company, your every word IS jumped on and "corporate image is everything. There are many on here, me included, that Tony could and sometimes does, say exactly how he feels. Those people would not go running to the "suits" to get him into trouble. Its not easy to keep everyone happy, but Tony comes very close to do just that, I have never seen him dodge a question or chat to people, even when he is very busy at the SPT. He is a real pro and we love him for it. col

    i have also been in them positions, but still called a spade a spade! i think sometimes you just need to blunt with people when you have done the nice route. I was at the rail watching the boss last night and i don't know how he did it! i had to leave the table in the end or i would of said something :( he explained himself about 10 times and it still wasn't being heard by the customer lol.

    Tikay already had my respect but it doubled in value last night!! i won't haver a bad word said about him for the effort he put's into communicating with us! i don't know many other presenters that would put in the hours he does with us common people lol since i joined the forum he has been a real gent to me and i will always be grateful for that.

    True legend! when my bankroll allows me to will get on a table an kick his A S S lol ( YEAH RIGHT!!! ) ;)


    an a special shout out for The boss " ALL'S GOOD IN THE HOOD " :)

    In Response to Re: Time to take-on-tikay? : I feel for you Col - been there, done that, it's horrible. I went through it in 2004, & it was "character-building". To pay £1,000 to enter an Event & get Aces busted first hand by Tens in two consecutive Tourneys is quite hard to get your head round, especially as I work very hard to earn my money. Then a guy asked me to play a £5k Event, he would put up 75%, at The Vic. Good, I played it, got busted early, (by the odious Mark Telscher of all people) & Mr 75% grimmed me. Marv. It just goes in runs Col. And it's not much fun. Just take a short break, forget poker for a bit, & you'll be surprised how quick it can change. And when it changes, boy is it fun!

    I take my hat of to anyone who can keep playing in those circumstances.   I know I couldn't. I can't. I find that when I am going through a bad run, the only option for me is to stop playing for a few months and come back fresh and trying to play my game instead of chasing it.

    I am in awe of anyone who can make a go of this type of sport regardless, especially in the bad times.

    You are an inspiration.

    Tikay, in response to your question about the wheel on cash unlimited, that is if nobody has yet tried a better explanation.

    23456789TJQKA

    Any legitimate poker straight IS straight, i.e. you can draw a straight line through it. Apart from A2345, that is, where you'd have to draw the line from the ace all the way round to the start. So this is the only hand in poker where the ace is joining the high and low end, in a circle or in a wheel.

    There's your answer. Probably.
