Ask Tikay?

KICKERACE

hi how are you, on freeplay is it possible to get higher stakes table, at the moments you have max 1000/ 2000, there are lots of small table and not very popular. 

I play at fulltilt and they have lots of high stakes tables , cos of high stakes people play properly and learn and pick up more poker skills, unlike here in skypoker everyone play like a donk..me too lol.

I would recommend more higher stakes table, 5,000/10,000, 10,000/20,000 instead of 0.50/1 and 1/2 stakes table.

Hi Kicker

tikay does not make the decisions on what tables are used on Sky , I have copied and pasted this into the communities section of the forum so that hopefuly, the powers that be will see it, and hopefuly respond.

Hi tano

You ned to sit tight in the opening blinds, only play premium hands AA, KK, QQ, maybe even JJ, dont chase flush, and straight draws unless it is relly cheap to do so, let the others get knocked out, when you get to the final 4, there are a couple of posts in the ask tikay thread, you can find them here, and, here, one is by myself, and the follow up, by tikay , good luck at the tables.

I play most of my games at night (torniments) like between 10:30pm and 3:00am as I tend to play better (or others play worse) at that time. Have you noticed yourself any change in skill level or the way poeple play including yourself at diffrent times of the day...

As I am a student my body clock is abnormal meaning I am wide awake some times at 3:00am this may put me at an advantage to other who are less awake perhaps?

Hi Pommy,

Yes, sorry about that, I was aware, as you reminded me on Friday, but I've been offline all weekend.

I intend to clear my PM backlog today.

The matter in question is quite outwith my remit, in truth, but I am trying to sort it, as I know you are displeased about the situation.

Please bear with me.

Thanks.

ive been playing on sky poker for about a  year and i find it very difficult
to seperate a check  from weakness and a check which is from a very strong hand,
are there any clues that i can use to tell the difference ???

Posted by bludreid11

In MOST cases a check is weakness.

It depends utterly, too, on who has "position", & whether that player regularly checks, if checking fits their usual betting pattern.

It can be strength, of course, but as a general rule, someone has missed, or wants a cheap flop/turn/river. Test them, fire a bet in & see what happens.

Beware of checks on paired boards, though.

I got the backlog fully cleared yesterday, (up to mid-afternoon), but there's quite a few more incoming since, & I'll deal with those tomorrow, Wednesday.

A physics Forum which I particularly enjoy, with the highly original name of , "Physics Forum", says....

Darkness is a well defined physical concept it is the absense of light, duh! However, the vacuum flux guarantees their will always be some small amount of light as long as there is spacetime. Hence, what we call darkness is relative and obeys the Uncertainty Principle. This means, of course, that it's speed can be greater than that of light, especially since it carries no energy or information".
 
Me? I don't know, my eyes are so bad I can't see the speedometer in the dark.

Yep, exactly what I thought all along -........tell me something new !

What tickled me so much is that occassionally in life someone comes out with a profound statement that just stops everyone in their tracks and you just hit the buffers not knowing how to move on.

Talking about tracks and buffers and speed of light, if a train could travel at the speed of light would it's headlights work ?
Also, how do you know when you run out of invisible ink ?

Hi Tikay..........there is a post in the 'Poker Clinic' asking for opinions on how someone should respond/react to a particular situation when one of our regular members was playing in a live game.

I don't know if this request has been covered before but in a nutshell ............is it possible that a blog that explains the rules and etiquette of live play and if poss. can it also be covered on 865.
I have extremely limited knowledge of what the rulings are as I only play online but if I ever did fancy playing an Spt  or the like, as daunting as it may seem, I would at least feel a bit more comfortable knowing what is and what is not acceptable....thank you.  
 
Ps: did you like what they did with the paint job on the 'Flying Scotsman' ......and did you get an invite,....if not, they should be ashamed of themselves (all that free air-time you give them, promoting steam loco's etc.).

Hi zeus

It depends, what type of tourny were you playing?, what were the blinds?, what position were you?, what was the table like?, what was the flop, turn and river?

I would love someone less able than me to call with 10 3 suited, I would be a 60% favourite, but, dont forget the opponent will hit 4 times out of 10, AK is only A high, and is only a drawing hand, by all means raise with it, but also be prepared to lay it down if you get resistence, if for you own example, someone goes all in.

As there are only 7 seats remaining, there has to be a max 35 seat Semi Final tonight. The link to the lobby for this is below if you wish to have a go at what will probably be the last chance to qualify on line. Good luck if you do try.

In a recent game in our league the following happend:

Down to the last four from 14, bubble time. All four playing tight and no one taking chances.

We have an all in from under the gun, putting two of the three remaining all in, dealer is chip leader, he could call. Dealer is undecided and keeps looking and asking himself "what should I do!?!?"

One of the lads watching says lets have a look at your cards, dealer says no but then a few seconds later shows the spectator, the specator jests..."I'd call with that!" Dealer still takes more time to think it through, then calls, other two have folded waiting to ladder up,... dealer has KQ suited, all in UTG has A8 suited, catches the A on the flop but dealer hits straight on the river.

One disgruntled player and dealer who has 75% of the chips who then goes on to win easily.

Question: Should the hand described continued once the dealer had shown his cards to the spectator? - None of the other players saw the cards but obviously the disgruntled player felt the dealer was influenced by the comments made.

Hi _______George_____, I'll call you ____Geo____ for short.

It's just bad etiquette, rude, & disrespectful to our fellow players, to show our cards to people not involved in the game. It's also against the rules to be "coached" at the Table by outsiders, though that would be tenuous in this case.

There are no grounds, as such, to void the hand because it had been seen by a non-player, though. Personally, I'd give him a minor penalty, maybe gently shoot him or something.

Hardly something to get grumpy about though, & I doubt the "loser" would have complained if his A-8 had held! In fact, I'm sure he would not.

Some peeps don't take defeat very well, that's what it amounts to, I guess.

Thank you... it was me who showed... I apologised profusely afterwards, I was disgusted with myself....felt like **it ever since... I disqualified myself from the game the following morning and gave up my points won.
At the end of the season I don't want people saying "well of course George would not have ended up in the places if it were not for that hand in May....." Thanks, __Geo__

___Geo____,

There was no need to "give up" the win, none at all, & if your opponents had any class, they'd not accept it in such circumstances.

I'd still shoot you though. Just gently, like.
