hi tk is there any tracking software u can use on sky poker and is it useful
Posted by ellie20026

The Sky software does not allow any tracking software. Basically because you need to download your hand history and upload it to your tracking software and you can't download hand histories on Sky. I think it makes for better players because you won't having tracking software at a live table.

Hey Tikay.. I played my first £33 quid bounty hunter tonight and come 63 place collect 70quid bountys on the way.. I had KQ suited and was 2nd to last to act I raised all in with it trying to take the blind down and the big blind call ed with kk.. On flop come 10, A, Q, so I needed any j or any q so roughly 7 potential outs.. If i had not got involved and folded I would of been in the top 50 a few hands later... Do you think I made a bad play or do you think I was just unlucky to run into kk??? Your advice is much appreciated..

Morning DKO.

I need a bit more info really - you don't say what the blinds were, or what your stack was.
 
Definitely a decent hand to raise in late position with, & if you had less than 10 or 12 big blinds, you cannot raise & then fold, so you may as well jam the lot in, though, arguably, you could bet less to induce a shove & then call. If you had 15 or 20 Bigs left, maybe it was a little early to get the lot in.

But you do not often walk into pocket Kings - that was just unlucky, or bad timing. Villain needs a big hand to call even if you only had 10 Bigs.

Your outs were irrelevant, really, as you were not to know what he would wake up with, & you were all in, but you did have some outs to hit, you were anything but dead, & any two cards can hit.

On the face of it, & without knowing your stack size relative to the Blinds - which is the key to whether you played it perfectly or not - the play seems fine to me. I'm never unhappy with a shove with any two, it's calling with any two which is the mistake many make.

Anyway, you made a nice little profit, & were 63rd from 505 runners, so thats a result.

I also note from Sharkscope that last weekend, you finished 1st of 500 (!) in a £2 Bounty Hunter - you don't seem to be doing too bad, then!

Hope you are enjoying it here, & the results keep coming.

Hi Shane,

In Omaha to make the best five card hand you have to use exactly TWO from your hand and exactly THREE from the board. Different to hold'em where you can use any amount. You didn't have two diamonds in your hand, so you couldn't make a five card diamond flush (actually you couldn't make any flush with that hand). The other player did. Your best hand is a set of Jacks. The two Jacks you hold plus the J, A and Q on the board.

Sky Poker has an intro to Omaha HERE

Hope that helps.

hi tikay been playing for about 3years after watching the tv channel and listning to the experts ive really improved my game ive finally started to win.ive been playing £2 buy ins at mtts an dym games ding well.ive just reached the surviour final an am really nervous an excited dont think ill sleep 2ngt lol. ive won a couple mtts but this is the biggest havr you any tips an hope 1 day to be at a spt cheers

puffyt1

on a 100bb cash table is folding qq ever correct pre have run into kk,kk and aa last few times. Each time i 3 bet and was then shoved on. I do not know if folding in this situation is in the long term a better decision. I am starting to think it is better to fold qq in this situation. AS the opponent will at worst normally have jj or ak and the other times have kk or aa u will lose against aa and kk most times and flip against ak. I mostly play 1/2 level so it is fairly aggressive but these spots keep occuring and normally around the button or blind on blind when i feel the players reraising range could be wider. I also hate flatting with qq are u set mining or trapping and u might end up getting outplayed. So i think with only 100 bb it has to be folded or allin pre.

I have been playing poker seriously for 6 months now and at the moment specialise in 'Double your Money' sit'n'goes.  I split my time between Sky Poker and another site mainly because they do cash for points in sitngo as well, even for Double or Nothing.

Any chance this is promotion can be done on Sky Poker so I can move over fulltime and play in £s which I prefer?

So close to that SPT Brighton seat Tikay...

Got down to the final 12 and busted once with 6 seats and £88 for 7th. Then tonight it was 5 seats and £88 for 6th and I bubbled the seats but got £88. I was 5th and shoved SB v BB (who was 6th), my K9 v QT, shocked he called, but glad to see I was slightly ahead, he flops 2pr and I don't manage to hit my gut shot

At least I got some money to fund some more sats... I'll get there!

Up2NoGood

Hi Tikay, I have another suggestion for you for a new poker Hold'em Game.

I have played this on other sites and it is a lot of fun!  It is a version of 'Double Your Money' called 'Fifty50'.

For Example: - In a £7 game with 10 players.  20p is the rake leaving £6.80p per player making the pot £68.

After 5 players have been knocked out, instead of winnings being £13.60 (which includes your stake back) like a normal Double Or Nothing, the winners get their original Stake back £6.80 + 0.22p for every 100 chips they have left after the fifth player has been busted out.

So if you were one who hung on in there after a bad beat and you only had 1000 chips left at end you get (0.22 per 100 chips) that is £2.20p profit.  Not much!  However - if you finish with 10,000 chips (out of 15,000) you will win £22, which is more than 3-times your original stake!

Not only is it a lot of fun, it teaches people who are naturally tight player to step up and learn to be more aggressive if you want to make a higher profit.  And the more aggressive players are rewarded as well.  This also stops people who after they double up in chips from sitting out.

As you are in with the powers that be at Sky Poker maybe we can bring it onto this site.

Regards

Hey Tikay.

Thanks for getting back to me, I had 10k and blinds were 1k & 2k . I thought I was unlucky as normally I am a good reader and tight position player... I was in bounty hunter tonight and got knocked out 2nd hand had AK suited and raised and then had 3 callers then on the flop cam A K 6 so hit two pair but the k & 6 were clubs so I raised and someone re raised all in.. I had to call.. They turned over j8 with the 8 being a club, then you guessed it runner runner club come down on the turn and river to give them an 8 high flush..

Yeah I come 1st, I was made up as I have only been on this sight for just about two weeks.. I play alot of face to face poker and never have online so I thought I would give it a go and despite what people say i like it.. I also come 10th in another bounty hunter with 500+ and also finished in top 60 of everyone bar tonight so hopefully I will keep having a good run.. I don't like leaving anything down to chance or bluffing with poor cards..

Hopefully I will do ok in this weeks bounty hunter tournament and maybe get a mention on sky which is why I come on this site as I watch the show all the time to try and pick up useful tips..

Your the man tikay, peace out..

innit

Just me who thinks tonights show was pretty ridic.  Only caught the last 2 hours , although tommy n james might have been having some fun. The show was by far the worst iv'e ever seen,  turned off towards the end .

There are Hundreads of players that would love to have their play anaylsed on the show by the 'experts' , yet instead they show hands that they knew  were played badly on purpose, as some sort of joke.

Also why on earth is there even a sitNgo player analysing cash in the first place, blows my mind.   I wouldn't expect to tune into the F1 on sky next season, and see Andy Gray and Richard Keys presenting/analysing.   Or see Jamie Redknapp analysing the Heineken cup Rugby.

Then to see James and Tommy, slightly mocking the guest in the chat box, and see James swearing, (when other players have been banned for this ),   pretty dissapointing.  I thought James Atkins did a great job under the circumstances and did his best to even analyse the "joke" hands.

Anyway, to sum up, pretty awful show in my opinion , others may not agree, but thats my opinion,  learnt pretty much nothing about poker, other than the fact that some poker pro is gay,  exciting stuff.  Safe to say i will not be watching again.

  Hi Tikay, Re Blackpool SPT. Just wondering if any decision has been made as to how the prize fund will be split viz-a viz head prizes. think i saw this asked in a thread a while back but have not seen or heard anything since.

(As 1267 has copied and pasted his complaint from last night's show thread, I shall do the same with my response...)

To quote The Joker in 'The Dark Knight'...

"Why so serious?"

For me poker will always be a recreational pursuit. As such, I like to have fun while playing. That's why I chose to sit at a low stakes 'Action' table last night.

Did I do some funky stuff? Yes. Could this be perceived as splashing around? Sure. However, only one hand was "played badly on purpose" and was intended as a "joke." This was part of a long-running gag on channel 865 about tikay's attitude towards pre-flop limpers. I'm a great believer that one should take any and every opportunity to tilt tikay!

To be fair to the old fella, he immediately identified the hand as a "level," but James A. (bless him) soldiered on, analysed the hand and, justifiably, tore me a new one.

I don't believe I (or Tommy, for that matter) "mocked" James A. Sure, a couple of times, I questioned if he knew he was watching an 'Action' table (where the small blind and big blind are both 30p), because I was surprised he described a 4x raise as a "significant over-raise." I would like to point out that the producer in the gallery was monitoring the chat box and was frequently relaying my comments to Richard and tikay in the studio, giving James A. the all-important right to reply. For the record, I would also recommend applying the sarcasm filter to 90% of what I write

I took great delight in James A. seeing TommyD at his worst and drawing the conclusion that he's a giant fish, based on two or three hands. It always amuses me when hands are analysed in the proverbial vacuum.

However, given the difficulty of his brief, I thought James A. did an excellent job. How could anyone not learn ANYTHING from his advice? In fact, I thought the whole show was excellent from start to finish (my contributions notwithstanding). Rich and tikay were both on top form. Shame about James's rapping.

Finally, I may have jokingly insulted TommyD in the chat box last night. This is because I know Tommy reasonably well and know he doesn't take my comments at face value. If anyone else at the table, or on the rail was offended, I apologise.

I accept your Apology.  It was only fun.!  But like me you should be banned for blatant Collusion in the chat box. lol :-))  

 Or will Sky operate double standards and let you off.?   Hugs xxx

Hi Tikay

Just an idea for TV show that if you think worthy you can pass it "upstairs".

Analyzing hands is excellent on TV by experts like Redmund, Julian etc. However, these are mostly above the micro level.

I am only playing at a low level at the moment and it appears the strategy differs a little as you progress up. (ie more bluffing)

What about a segment dedicated to micro NL4, maybe an analyst giving opinion on way hand played etc

Hi G,

An announcement is likely within days. Everything is ready to go, the satellite structure & everything, just a few details to be ironed out. Assuming the details are sorted, expect SIG within days.
