Stocking branded apparel is fraught with problems.
Shirts come in different sizes, so adequate quantities of each are required, plus a margin for erior. Suppliers will not supply us on Sale or Return, so that's a risk that has to be stood. Multiply that problem when you think that shirts can be either t-shirt or polo, so that doubles the first problem. Da de da.
When Sky Poker change their Logo, as they do from time to time, the "old" stock is worthless.
But more than anything, it's a volume based business, & it takes a huge turnover to pay for the administration & staff of organising the sale, posting, etc. It can be sub-contracted to a third party, but they charge a fortune, which then has to be passed on, & of course doing it that way means control of quality & such like is outwith Sky Poker's control.
In my other Online Cardroom business, we tried this. It was a nightmare.
So it will come, in time, as the site grows, for sure, but although I don't know this officially, I imagine it will be a while yet.
Come to a SPT though - they give away loads of branded merchandise at most of them. And channel 865 give away loads of it, as free prizes for e-Mails & suchlike. Selling is good, giving is better!
Good question, though.
No idea!
But it's their money, & they can play as they wish. Over time, the worse they play, the better it is for you.
Invert the problem, as Charlie Munger would. (He's "a bit rich").
He'd say....
Should we complain about players being worse than us?
Would we prefer to play players who are better than us?
Against these guys, keep geting it in good, & don't begrudge them the 3 times in 10 they bink. The 7 times in 10 you win will make you a profitable player. He'll be busto by then, of course.
By the bye, he MAY have been a very good player who made the perfect read on you - he was effectively "flipping", & was only a marginal dog.
i would like thank you for your response just one one of thows things i guess. But it keeps happaing even with big pairs and you get a bit mad at times . And i guess it good to winge now and then .
firstly im not complaining about hands because people chase but heres one ive just had kk first hand in tonights 2.5k 8pm and run into aa ive only played around 4 games overall tonight but had it again on another well known site admitted it was a 10 seater the odds on having kk and running into aa are massive to start but twice in around 4 games is silly odds i had a run for around three weeks on here doing really well best probably 3rd in £1500 b/h wed 5th next night and won it on the third night (there was luck involved) but the last week or so no matter wether i get my chips in good its the other way not just this site on others is this the norm
many thanks roy
Hi Tikay....
Can you (or anybody really) please explain in very simple terms how I go about joining you on this twitter thingy wotsit doodah?
I really didnt want to get into this (bad enough being a FB addict!!!) but I do wish to follow our players on their progress across the pond so I am resigned to the fact that I will have to 'get with it' and join.
Thank you.
Not sure I know - one of the Suits set mine up!
But it's 100% free, I know that. I don't actually know how to work it very well yet, either, but I'm getting there.
Vegas will see lots of tableside tweets from me though, & nothing is more instant than a tweet.
My Twitter address is.....
http://twitter.com/Tony_Kendall
I think you can jon Twitter, set up your own account, simply by going to that page. I think the idea is that you then "follow" Tweeters of your choice. Including, I hope, me.
James Hartigan is a serial, & very interesting, tweeter, too, as are many other Sky players from this Forum.
And I often give away freebies via Twitter, too.
I should add that my Twitter Account is on behalf of Sky Poker. But I mix it up a bit. I try & make a bunch of interesting tweets, then slide in a curve-ball bit of spam.*
* I have been Banned by Mr Sky Big Suit from using the word "spam", so delete "spam", & replace with "enlightenment", please.
Please remember, though, that you have to elect to "follow" someone. Then you get all their Tweets.
Regards,
Alan
Other players may have different strategies.
What's the square root of 11?
Could an alligator take a honey badger in a square go on land?
What if?
Should I stop drinking before midnight on a Sunday?
What time is it?
Does time exist or is it an abstract concept?
Can you explain the concept of Schrodinger's cat?
Where am I?
What's love?
Will I be a valuable employee tomorrow?
Could all the answers to above's questions conceivably be no?
Can you be sure that you are TK?
What's real, what isn't?
Can the insane be proven to be insane?
I had a pair of Queens beaten by Ace Jack. Is this conclusive proof that Sky is fixed?
Goodnight.
What you are probably experiencing is the fact that a little mistake towards the end of a Tourney is usually fatal, as by then the Blinds have made it a Shove-Fest, so you are in one-move City. Earlier in the Tourney, we can easily get away from mistakes with mere surface wounds to our stacks. So we just think our stupid mistakes" are near the end, when in fact they are at any time, really.
The line between a good & a bad Call or Raise is extremely thin, so just because it goes wrong does not necessarily make it a stupid mistake. By it's very nature, we have to take risks in Tourneys, & risks are dangerous.
However (incoming enlightenment now....), at 8.30pm tonight, there is a beautifully-structured Tourney that costs a mere £2.20 to Enter, & which is not a shove-fest at all.
"Take-on-tikay", 8.30pm tonight.
Question answered, & Spam duly slid in.
The Diet will finish at 7am on Thursday, at Gatters Airport. I went for my final weekly weigh-in yesterday, & I was spot on my long-term target weight - 11st 7lbs. When I started the Diet, in early February, I was an amazing 16st 6lbs. I'm fine, never been better, & it was all planned, but thank you anyway.
After Vegas, I'm gonna quit smoking, too. I gotta look after myself if I am to enjoy my golden fifties.
Presumably, a few years after that you will be celebrating your roaring forties.

Guarantees & POrize Pools are lower at present due to the World Cup, & the fine weather, Online Poker is very seasonal.
Players are not "leaving the site", UPD & general traffic, measured over a 12 month period (the figures are distorted if measured in lesser periods) show double digit year-on-year growth.
I'm not sure what you mean by "entry fees remain the same". A £10 Tourney will always be a £10 Tourney, irrespective of traffic levels.
primo still £33 to enter but prize money only £8000 from £15000
I understand the Jeremy Kyle Show has an impact, too.
any chance of getting that on here also when download coming cos struggling to play more than 2 tables. cheers
