    Hi Tikay,            First for me on here, Hi all. Kinda of getting tired of getting fished on the low level Tables (4p,8p,10p,20p Big blinds). Would it be a good move to start playing higher blinds than these to get away from them, or should i just swallow my anger and brush the tears away and keep playing these low level tables? Cheers Bane

    Not really the best way to learn imo, i used to do that and worked out for a bit but not good Bankroll management. main thing is dont bluff as much on the lower tables and then move up the ranks that way, eventually you get to a level where you wont get donkeys calling you and people think more. I think that level is 25p/50p and higher in personal experiance but still if you are getting beaten always said you should go down stakes rather then up although each to their own

    Best of luck at the tables

    Thanks YOUNG_GUN.

    Problem with it is that i rarely bluff if ever. It just seems like where ever i go i seem to get stuck with the donks of the world. The usual calls with 72 off when i have pairs 10s upwards with a  raise large. lol its always funny because i will see a donk on the table who is giving money here there and everywhere but just cant bankrupt them. I seem to give them money then they give it elsewhere lol.
    Well i suppose its all about patience so will keep ploding along, maybe try 25/50p for another view.

    Once again thanks for the help!

    Hi Matty,

    I'm really sorry you haven't received a reply. Tikay can sometimes be a little busy but i'll post your query over in the new Poker clinic and see if we can get you some replies from other community members there. I'll post you a link to the thread after i've put it up.

    Cheers

    My apologies for the delay in replying Matty, I'm as bit snowed iunder right now, with one thing & another. I've now cleared my PM backlog, & plan to clear the "Ask tikay" backlog before I head off to Glasgow for the weekend tomorrow.

    Hi Tikay,
    Is there likely to be a reserve list for this weekends SPT in Glasgow?
    Or even a satellite for empty seats before the main tourney?
    Or are there players unable to attend already looking for stand-ins?
    Cheers

    No promises, but there is a good chance there may be a few. "Stand-ins" are NOT permitted though.

    If you are local, turn up early & you MAY get a chance of one. But NO PROMISES.

              Ok Question! You have just doubled up and are now second chip leader. Your down to the last couple of places to the money. Your dealt Ks in position after the Big blind. Raise 5 Big blinds. Allin from chip leader in mid position, who has played very tight and your gut feeling is he is playing with an A J,q,k(Or As). It is folded to you. What is the decision?

    PS will tell you what happens when you reply.

    The obvious answer is to call but depending on the state of the tournament how many players are left and what the blinds are it is a reasonable play to fold if there are maybe 20 or 30 places that get paid, Is the call going to win the tournament if you win the hand ? Doyle Brunson explains this in his Super system book when he folded K K against a large stack , ironically he got put out that tournament with the same player later on with pocket aces finnishing 13th. You arent in trouble and seem comfortable with your chip stack so winnig another double up might be good  at that point but you still have plenty of play left and can out play the chip leader so I would probably reluctantly fold if there are more than twenty players left.

         56 Players remaining out of 354. The chip leader and myself are about a three to one on the next stack down, Pay point was 52(If only the Buyin back and a couple of extra)
        But i reluctantly call and he turns over AQ. Flop 5,9,A... Turn 5... River2. Knocks me down to 10 big blinds, and out in the second deal after(Finishing lol 53).
       Gut feeling was to fold even with the Ks. Just wanted to know if folding would have been too tight, or is there no way out with that hand. Cheers for the responses.

    in hind sight its easy to say fold but realistically you would probably got your 5 big blind bet back against the shorter stacks that said it was unlucky an ace came on the flop.

    Hi Tikay,

    New to the site and wanting to register to start playing but i dont have a driving license or a passport for the ID part of the registration. I sent an email to the help@skypoker but had no reply. Would like to know if i can send a scan of birth certificate or anything as other proof or is that not acceptable. Want to register asap to qualify for the Aspers Swansea leg of the SPT.

    Cheers in advance

    ED.

    get tid of RR from poker league points it does not mean anything for league places no skill involved, some people around the top just waste money on them getting points, playing lots at a time for the points anyone can win the league by playing these. you just need a big bank roll.

    our poker play money can be used on the freeplay tables to help you learn the game or if you just fancy a break from real cash games. to check out the freeplay tables go to the cash lobby then click on the freeplay tab.

    if you need anything else just give me a shout.

    Hi DUTCHESS,

    Congratulations on your win on Thursday, nice one. £1,200 +, as I recall - lovely!

    As far as I am aware, it remains the case that you will be entered automatically into the monthly Sky Sports "biggie".

    I'm only 99.9 sure though, so I'll drop a note to Suit-City & check it out for you, & reply back to you on here when I hear back.
