    You're question is massively broad, there is no 'one fits all' answer to your question.

    Sometimes you will shove with pairs and it's the right decision for your opponent to call and you lose and it's just unlucky.

    Sometimes you'll shove pairs and someone makes a terrible call and still wins, and that's also unlucky but at least you can have some comfort that you want bad calls like this.

    But it's all down to what type of game you're playing, what the stack sizes are like, how aggressive/tight your opponents are, how aggressive/tight your opponents think you are.

    Remember, the definition of a bad beat, is getting it in ahead and getting unlucky, if you keep getting it in ahead, you can't go far wrong. And remember, the better you are, the more bad beats you will get, because you'll be getting it in ahead more often. Bad players don't take as many bad beats because when you get it in behind, you only have yourself to blame for losing.

    How do you deal with people who are clearly working together and passing chips to each other?

    It happens quite often in the Double Your Money Sit And Go Games.

    the answer to that one is to report any concerns you have to Customer Care, there details can be found at the bottom of the page under Contact Us, give them as many details as possible, eg: tourny ID date, time that sort of thing.
    hope this helps

    Hi Mr Russ.

    Yes, the short answer is that it is on the list, & it IS quite difficult to implement.

    The slightly longer, but better answer, is that we ALL want EVERYTHING - that's the Clients, and the Business, as soon as possible.
     
    As I Posted a while back, a completely new Site is being built - completely new, from the ground up, & whilst it will have to keep updating, changing, & evolving, it will pretty much be what we all - or most of us (can't ever please everyone!) wants. 

    So right now - NOW now - there is a balancing act between allocating resource towards improving the EXISTING site, & progressing the design & construction of the new site as quickly & efficiently as possible. 
     
    Hopefully, loyal Clients like you will understand that growing together is quite something, & be understanding if some of the bells & whistles we would wish are not available as soon as we would like.

    Through all this, year on year, the traffic continues to grow, & that business needs managing, too.

    Balancing all these things is enormously challenging, & if I may say so, tremendous fun, all the more so because we think that most of you are sharing it with us.

    Onwards & upwards together, hopefully.

    Hi, Tikay you said on the show last night (thurs 7th) that deep plo tables with a min buy in were easily implemented now. I tend to play any of the plo games running and would have said there is a sufficient desire for them, so could they be put in place soon or would there need to be some sort poll or would sky be able to just put them in the lobby now?! :>

    thanks

    Hi Tikay,

    I've just answered in a thread about hobbies away from poker. one of mine is golf at a ryder Cup(twice) course, Southport and Ainsdale GC (by Birkdale GC) not too far from Blackpool. As you like the game and would promise not to wear a hoodie, i've offered up rounds to people who may be coming up to Blackpool on the friday before the SPT. Would you be interested in being a guest? Just thought i'd ask...

    By the way Bignoise(the chap who wrote that thread about his son) has joined us in the Hitsquad. We'll take good care of him....

    OMG, i've just realised, you're in vegas around then, i think. Well the offer stands if you can make it sometime you're in the areaBring a friend along and a hcp certificate. Best wishes and don't forget to see The Rat Pack Show in Vegas....it's brilliant...

    Did you hear the recent news story about the kid who ran up debts of a few thousand pounds on his dads credit card playing online poker?

    I was just curious how a site would deal with this?

    Would they have to pay back the money as the child (think he was about 12) is not of legal age to be gambling in the first place and if so wouldn,t this open the doors to fraudelent claims as if a parent has  a gambling problem and loses a lot of money on any gambling site - they could just say it was their child using there details

    Ps - Can you imagine if he,d binked a big tournament ? - He wouldn,t be able to get the money anyway as it would go back to his dads card

    I wonder if the above is a tacit admission of the issues the site is suffering from at the moment - please see thread in General Poker Chat titled "disconnections" where many customers are posting regarding technical issues at the moment.
    I have had to reluctantly move my funds on to another site as I am finding Sky software unreliable at the moment.
    I really hope I will be able to return when the new client is delivered. This site has a lot going for it, not least a great ambassador in your good self.

    Hi Tikay,

    So sorry about the length of the 'BUBBLE FACTOR' email to the show. I wanted you to have as much info as needed. I know you said you'd answer it but put it on the back burner and prepare for vegas. I'll understand. It was rather theoretical anyway and was just amusing my mathematical background.
    GL in Vegas. Knock 'em dead!!

    Good morning Sir.

    No, you are not being "scammed" at all!

    I would imagine they request passport details for proof of age or somesuch.

    We get a lot of people attempting to multi-account, too, so the business need to obtain as much info as needed to combat such things.  

    You may be assured that ALL information held is held securely, Sky Poker take the requirements of the Data Protection Act VERY seriously indeed, & we all have to attend courses on the subject frequently. In short, info obtained may ONLY be used for the desired purpose.

    I would of thought that such information would be requested by almost any (reputable) Online gaming Site, to be honest.

    It was a great weekend You,d have loved it. As for the poker a tale of 2 halfs - Day 1 great - 6th in chips -32 - left - playing well 4 bounties - Day 2 - Car crash - Didn,t want to just fold for the cash but when you,ve got more chips on the table than than the 2 others put togethor with Coxlylobo on the button when your on the blind , Thewy to the left and barbie 59 chip leader next to you amongst others you can run into some difficulies which i did and before i knew it had a rush of blood to the head and shoved with   K3 with 80k after a SB  min raise( A 7)  
    It was a mistake but learnt a lot as always at these SPT,s and had 15 % of barbie who did well to come 6th which was  £370  but most of all a good time and manged a cpl of pots of Thewy who is just a top player

    Where did you finish Paul? Either way it was a decent result to get as far as you did, cos I know you were still in when I went out in 26th.

    Yeah that was a really hard table, all the big stacks on 1 table, and Thewy, Coxy, CTBN and Barbie59 all on the one table.

    60p DYM - your money is 50p and 10p is the site's (rake). Top 3 awarded double 'your' money which is £1.00 / 40p profit.
