Tikay can you put a good word in for blackpool for next year lol - i'd love a close one - I'm a Morecambe Bay boy so wouldn't even need a hotel for that one
If you mean the Birthday freeroll it is in red i this section of the forum.
+1 that would be awesome
A Forum regular, who Posts a lot of advice - good advice, to - in the "Poker Clinic", asked a question on here, then removed it, as they felt I was a little too busy to reply, & it was a complex question. But I remembered the question, & answered some of it privately via PM.
The gist of the question was this.
By giving good advice in "The Poker Clinic", are they giving away the secrets of their own game, & therefore decreasing their ability to make a profit, & if so, should they cease giving poker advice?
I replied, & with factual stats to back it up, that the chances of that happening were very remote indeed. I proved, mathematically, that the chances were 1 in several thousand of anyone who shares a Table with him/her of even seeing the replies, in fact.
But there was also another angle to this.
Helping others to improve themselves is surely one of THE great joys in life. "It's good to give", nothing is more satisfying, surely? We were all hopeless when we began at poker, some of us still are, in fact, but we remember with gratitude & affection those who helped us in our early days, do we not?
Heres a story, 100% true, which demonstrates my view.
I have a hero in business life, a man by the name of Warren Buffett, & I have every book ever written about him, & there are many.
Google or wiki him, he's probably America's richest man, or nearly so. He's a very odd man, too, very morally upright, very "humane" as to how he makes money. At the last count, he was worth £42 BILLION. He has children, but instead of leaving the cash to them, he has bequeathed almost every cent to The Gates Foundation, a most worthy Charity run by Bill Gates, he of Microsoft, & Bill's wife, Melinda.
He made his money by following certain investment principles. No matter what the current vogue, no matter how out of touch they claimed he was (he's over 80 now), he stuck to his guns, did it HIS way, & achieved quite astounding returns. For him, AND his Clients. In poker, the equivelant would be Tom Dwan, or whoever, who seems unbeatably good.
But here's the thing. Lots of people wondered how he did it, what was the secret, & he developed a following, people "coat-tailing" him, trying to find his secret.
So he told them how he does it. Everything, he held nothing back. He spends THREE DAYS A WEEK doing this, & has even set up a Classroom cum Conference Centre in the little town he lives in. (Which, by the way, is called "Omaha"). The "students" arrive by the bus-load, two sessions per day, & after the seminars, he takes them all to dinner. At his expense. He does not charge a cent for any of this, it's all 100% free.
Asked why, he just says "what is it to make money & succeed, if I cannot have the pleasure & satisfaction of helping others do the same? I may die rich, but I'd rather die knowing I helped a few along the way. And I like to be liked - surely, most of us do, don't we?".
And how did he become so clever, how did he learn to do what he does so well? Simple. Another guy taught him, exactly as he teaches others. (The other guy was called Ben Graham).
Who are we to argue with Warren Buffett, & Ben Graham, who has made, personally, more money for himself, & millions of others, than any living American, despite telling everyone how he does it?
So that's my answer. Give a little, it does no harm, & lots of good.
Don't let me forget, though!
Wow, software that "gives" luck. I wish that I had the patent on that.
If this site is truly made up of bad players, then just rejoice and make the most of it.
As for the "hot-o-meter", I think that it's just there for a bit of fun. I'm pretty sure that no-one would take it seriously - certainly not for long.
Sorry, but this is brilliant.
Sounds like someone lost to K 10 when they felt they shouldnt
As for the "bad" software helping lucky players I played on 5 different sites over the weekend and got lucky on all of them so "bad" software isnt exclusive to Sky
Then again I also got unlucky on all of them, so maybe we will just put it down to variance
Aski
Seriously though, the software doesn't dictate who wins and any cards are good cards in the right situation
P.S you look to be doing well at MTT's but very badly at STT's (my problem is not unlike yours) I'm going to quit stt's as i don't make any money from them - You've dumped 2/3rds of your profit from MTT's playing sit n go's. I'd look at my own game before just throwing random comments out
Just started on skypoker site and was fortunate enough to hit the final table of a tournament here. Advanced on to go head 2 head (with fairly equal stacks) with the eventual winner and was overall quite pleased with my play but the question I have is this:
I was comfortable with the play up to and including the final table until I got to head2head and then I found the pace of play and the size of the blinds completely running away with me. Do you have any advice when going head 2 head?
Thx.

I do love that pic of you on TAKE ON TIKAY..really nice `pic xxxx
I'll be honest, i'm not doing well atall ! struggling with the transition between live and online play. As a student i don't have much money so BR hasn't ever been above £50! Currently on around £30.
Is there a way to manage this well? Or do you think it would be best to save some pennies up and invest more?
Cheers, Sam.
Welcome to Sky Poker and the forum, most of the players use the 5% rule where we will risk no more than 5% of our bankroll in any game, I found grinding up in the micro stakes Sit and Go Double you monies.
NOT had a good day today, decided to play the 3k double stack. Had 10k just after the break and decided to make the most outrageous play betting the pot with air on a 10 high board which probably would of worked in live play. Still, I'll get used to the tinternet.

Thanks for replying mate i thought everyone was just going to leave me hanging :P
Lol, we always answer, not maybe straight away, but we do answer, yup low DYm,s and low cash, the problem is, if you dont, you end up playing with scared money and lose your temper, good luck on the tables
Train A, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet?
thank you
