    I came 11th in last nights freeroll it said i qualified for entry into double stack. can you tell me what that is and can i claim it anytime or is the offer only available on that same night after that game? cheers

    If you take a look under the tab "My Sky Poker" at the top of the page for "Your Tables" you should show as registered for the deepstack game on the 22nd January @ 8.00pm.  Starting stack is 4000 chips instead of the standard 2000 and I believe 10 minute blinds.

    Good luck, I hope you do well and congratulations for qualifying via the freeroll.

    In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Heres what sky_dave said This is coming from me (therefore not set in stone or even 100% correct), but this is what I believe the formats to be: Extreme - reduced chip stack and faster blinds. Rumour has it this was devised to give Tikay a chance of winning a leg, but I can't confirm or deny that ;) Split - Basically you're playing two tournaments in tande (therefore multitabling two tables) with winnings from the pair combined to give you your final score. We don't have them up in the lobby at the moment as they are formats devised especially for the TKOII. If you look through the list, you'll see they came up with Sky Poker's own twist on HORSE: H oldem O maha R oulette S plit E xtreme As always, the TKOII format is designed for good banter and a bit of fun so we hope you get into the spirit of it :)

    Hi Leapy,

    I cannot help in such matters I'm afraid, you need to contact Customer Care, and if you are struggling there, Sky-Rich is your next port of call.

    I get in trouble when I try to help in these matters - I'll explain why later, I'm a little busy this morning.

    I hope you get sorted, anyway. Have you thoroughly examined your "Account History"? I find it hard to believe that the system allowed you to pay two Entry Fees for the same Tourney, which is, in effect, what you are saying.

    120 seats are available via online qualification.
    As I type this post, 93 seats have been taken (although I am unsure if this includes last night's qualifiers).
    You can find the latest information in the poker lobby in the tournament: "£12,500 SPT Leg 3".

    A PM is a Private (or personal) Message.
    It is a message that only the sender and recipient can view.
    You can find yours by going to your "Inbox" which you will find if you click on the "My Profile" link which is towards the top middle of this (and every SkyPoker) page.

    Not many - 93 seats had gone as of last night. I would expect the "SOLD OUT" signs to be up within a week.

    Hi Leapy

    If you wish to send a pm to a certain player, like Sky Rich for example, find out where they last posted, there you will find the persons name underlined at the left hand side of the post, click on the underlined name e.g. Sky_Rich, this will take you to his profile page where one of the options is to send him a PM :)

    Mr Trevor Harris!

    Will Arsenal win the League? Never in doubt.

    The current tactics - to make it fair - are to give the opposition a 2 goal start, then win 4-2.

    PS - If Sky-Rich sees this, can he sort out getting Trevor's PTP Avatar onto his Forum Profile, please?

    I've never been an Arsenal fan, and never will be, but their football makes me drooooooooolllllll. Since Brighton can't win the premiership for at least another 3 years, I hope Arsenal do it this year.

    Posted by JONES84
    Hi Jones,
     
    The price of a player winning with a flush when both have the "same" hand?

    If both players have A-K offsuit, they are both 2.17% to win outright, so that's a little under 50/1. It's the same price if, say, both players 8-8.

    So yes, you got a bit lucky, 50/1 shots are rarities in poker.

    Oddly, Richard Orford came to play at Luton with Lisa-Marie & myself this week, & exited in exactly that coup - A-K off v A-K off, & Matey Boy 4-flushed it.

    I'm not an Arsenal fan as such, but I'd love to see them win the Premiership or Champion League, as I admire the way the whole Football Club go about things - financially prudent, good ethics & morals, entertaining football, & a Manager who is probably amongst the top three in the world. What's not to like about that?

    I met Charlie George recently at The Emirates to discuss some poker business - that was a bit special.

    I never missed a Brentford match, home or away, in 17 years in my youth. Best not to discuss that, eh?

    Hi Tikay,
    I was watching one of the cash tables a couple of nights ago and saw AA vs KK. They split the pot when a J high club flush came down on the table and neither had a club. What's the odds of AA vs KK splitting a pot and what's the odds of 5 cards of the same suit being dealt on the table?

    Hi Tikay.
    I have been playing on sky poker for about a year now and I have my ups and downs during this wonderful game.

    When I am good, I am good, but when I am bad, well, lets say, I am like an elephant without a trunk trying to suck water. There just does'nt seam to be an in between, which brings me to my question.

    In poker, what has been your highpoint and what has been your lowpoint?

    Hi Dav.

    1) Thank you very much. I was, of course, outrageously lucky.

    2) I'm not sure what a "paperhat" is, I'm afraid. But I THINK (deliberately UPPER-CASE!)  I know what you mean. Don't worry about it man.

    3) Well that's a tricky one. I know the date, but when dates are "announced" & then, for some reason (IT people are notoriously unreliable with meeting deadlines) those dates are missed, all the sarcy so & so's have a field day, "yeah, yeah, you said it would be last week, you are all useless" sorta thing. But if I were a betting man, I'd say that by the time Shrove Tuesday has arrived, we'll have been playing Hi-Lo on here a few weeks. 

    And yes, PLO is a quite beautiful game, as far removed from NLH as any game could be. I do find it quite sad that so many people play it so badly though. We hope to address that soon, via some Filmed Tutorials. It's not a good thing that people play it badly, in the grand scheme of things.

    I hope you have a good weekend.
