This may help
Dont know you from the tables Nige as i play considerably lower than you but i hope you run really well in the open. Enjoy it and all the very best!
Tikay, i left you a question a couple of weeks ago about some tips on tourneys, think you may have missed it. Just thought i would remind you as i have run deep again tonight but fell at 7th place out of 260ish field again. Its all about changing gears and stuff. If you scroll back a page or two you may find it. Thanks. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!
Hi Mr Dog,
I'll try & answer that later today.
And if you let me know what stakes you want to play Omaha at, I'll play some Omaha Cash &/or Tourneys one night this week.
Assuming you have won your seat, you can turn up at any time you want - you will just be blinded away, but a few hours late won't be a big problem.
See you there, & don't forget to come & say "Hi".
i havent had no money to play for real lately.
BUT today i played a points free roll and won .38p i went on a couple of small stt's went up to £4.85p.
I am buzzzing, because then won a £4.80p satellite into tonights £4000 double stack.
Cant wait to see how my luck goes tonight.
Hi please can i have some advice,
I was plaing 5p/10p mastercash and was holding pocket queens in small blind. Theres a few limpers and i raise. Big blind re-raises. Everyone else at the table folds. I re re-raise and he shoves all in. I call and he has pocket kings. Should i have laid them down when he shoved all in? Thanks
Jst a quick question, i play the low stakes poker but enjoy watching the high stakes on line.
Who is weareontv? is he/she a sky team pro? as i watch a lot and no1 seems to lk playing hm
Three questions there, answered in the order asked.
1) No, not unless you are a Priority Club Member, & even then, only subject to certain caveats.
2) The Event starts at 2pm on Saturday 7th May, if that is what you mean't.
3) The Online Satellites have now finished, though they MAY be re-opened nearer the time if there are any spare seats.
I should add that the minimum age to enter a Licensed UK Casino is 18.
I would not be permitted to divulge the identity of any player, & I don't have access to the DataBase to be able to see who is who, that would be improper. I do know who it is, in fact, but that knowledge comes from other sources. It is not someone who's name you would readily recognize.
He/she is not a Team Sky Poker pro, no.
It's quite common at the higher level Tables for "big" players to avoid each other, it happens here on Sky Poker, & on all other Online Rooms. It makes no sense for them to clash with each other, why would they want to? They prefer to play players against whom they have an edge. Which may explain how they can afford to play at the higher levels - because they are very careful with Table Selection, & they apply some thought to their poker strategy. Which anybody could, but very few do.
With the benefit of hindsight, yes, you should have laid them down!
As played, no, not really - it was just a "cooler" really. If you are in the Small Blind with Queens, & the Big Blind wakes up with Kings, then....
1) You are incedibly unlucky.
2) It is exceedingly unlikely.
Sometimes, you would be right to fold Q-Q there. Sometimes being, maybe, 1 time in 7 or 8. (Pure guess).
MOST times you would be wrong to fold there.
If you want to enjoy your poker, you need to be able to ride blows like this, & just accept them stoically. It will happen every day, but you will be the one with K-K v Q-Q just as often as vice-versa.
The whole thing about poker is the abulity & character to accept some ill-fortune now & then, & not go round blaming the software, other players, the weather, or the price of fish. (And I am, most certainly not suggesting you are doing any of this, I hasten to add).
Here's a Wiki Page which I'd like you to read. Imagine the struggles & adversity this man overcome, & his adventures in South America, Peru, Costa Rica, etc. He just got on with it, in the face of immense adversity. A terrific example to all us poker players.

PS - Today YOU will have the K-K v Q-Q - I hope!
Just a heads up here for tikay, can't believe you use such filthy language. Mods ban him! lol
Hope you had a blast.
Stick at it, Dynamite.
I was not aware of that slang term, or it's meaning. I absolutely abhor that sort of puerile nonsense, & I'm pretty annoyed that I got whooshed by it.
I shall now Edit my replies to remove the reference.
Really, I think that sort of "humour" belongs in junior school.
And yes, I am completely serious. I despair.
Well done him on whooshing me. GG his alias though.
anyway i was like ruble in the deep stack got blown out early
show is great by the way!!!
Tikay, im new to sky poker any tips for televised tournies ?
I was short stacked all the way through the £33 BH, I was never over 5k in chips and managed to finish 58th and in the cash, do you think (like I know think) BH do not suit my play, have I done well to last as long as I did so short stacked, should I just stick to regular tourneys???
Cheers
