i have sticked this one. lets all try and advertise this as a place for new and existing players alike to come and ask tikay any questions they may have.
thanks,
Rich
Firstly thank you for this, I know tikay isnt all that keen on it being a sticky, but obviously it is doing very well, and maybe even shows the need to have it as a seperate board too
As for adevertising it, hmmmmm, I wonder what I could do? lolololol.
There is currently a thread running about players speaking a foreign language at the tables while playing online, now I know that the Mods are looking into this incident because the rules state that only English should be used at the Sky Poker tables but it got me to thinking. With so many international players and poker rooms all around the World is there a general rule in live games about what language should be spoken at the tables?
In a recent friendly game we came to a little bit of a situation, i would be grateful if you could clear it up for me, now what happend was there was 2 players left in the pot.
Early position raises All in, late postion calls, now the early postion mucks his cards.
Now does the person in late position have to show his cards, or is the hand deemed over on account the early position player has mucked ?.
Hi
On the final betting round and everyone is all-in, the player who acts first is the first to show the hand. If there is betting on the final round then the last player has to take action by a bet or raise in the first to show the hand
Hope this is what you wanted
Good morning.
A stickied thread? Wow!
I'll try not to disappoint.
Was up at 5am today - quite normal when I was working properly, late in fact, but when I was playing Live poker non-stop, I was rarely in bed by 5am! So, been at my desk since 7am this morning, have cleared a pile of stuff, e-Mails & whatnot, I'll clear the PM's now, & then I'll see if I can get this thread up to date.
BRB.
Today England's 10 worst railway stations have been named and shamed in a report commissioned by the Department for transport.
Manchester Victoria received the lowest satisfaction rating, followed by Clapham Junction in south London, and Crewe in Cheshire, according to the Station Champions' report.
The others on the list are Barking, Stockport, Preston, Wigan North Western, Liverpool Central, Warrington Bank Quay and Luton.
Do you Agree with that list? if no why? which stations should be there?

Are you referring to the means by which PNL's demise came about?
Quite a story, that, though I'd have to omit some names if I told it!
Please confirm, & I'll comment, though it'll be tomorrow now, as I'm due in the Studio in 5 minutes.

Wow, what a perceptive & insightful question!
It's late, I'm very tired, & I need to word my reply "just so", so I'll answer that - such as I'm able - tomorrow.
I need to cogitate on how best to reply to that......
Wowzer, thats a corker of a question!
The bold text was Tikays original responses to the above posts from Hale and Lady Fingers, so now its over to you Tikay, I'm sure more than a few of us await with baited breath

Thank you Aski. The answers will not be THAT exciting!
I'll get as near the truth as I can without getting shot or sacked.
Luton is just awful, but Manchester Vic & Crewe are harshly treated by the report, as they are both in areas of the UK where the punters tend to moan a lot. Nobody moans in the Wast Country, for example, because the Stations all have the standard GWR-Brunel stamp on them, whereas Manchester & Crewe are part of what was the quite dreadful LMS. Can't believe Clapham is on the list - it's wonderful. (Which is different to "modern").
I'd omit Crewe & Clapham, & add Birmingham New St twice - it's that bad. It has - wait for it - shops. I mean, that's just ridiculous. Who wants to window-shop when they can sit & look at Trains, & Locomotives?
It was a nightmare, I've rarely exited a 10k jobbie so fast. It started at 5.30, & I was back on the M1 by 6.10.....
It's quite tough at Luton in the early Levels, then it eases up, so I usually Sit-Out the first 4 or 5 Levels. But I started mixing it up a bit, & won the first 4 hands on the spin, one when I'd Called a R in Position with 5-3 of Hearts & saw a 4-6-x two heart Flop.
But then it all went tiddley-pong in one hand.
How would any of YOU play this one?
Blinds are now 50/100, decent structure, 45 min clock, & we all began with 10,000. Nobody Passes to a Standard Raise at this stage, & folks resotr to 50/50/50/900 to get big Pairs through, which is almost ponitless.
It's gone 325, 325, 325, 325, & I have 2-2, both black. The Button & Blinds are still to act. Call.
We see a flop of 2-3-10, two hearts.
Checked to me, I consider Potting it, but Dave Johnson has the Butrton, he's guarahteed to take a pop at it - lets let him, then I have the leverage to bet it properly & price everyone out.
Sure enough, Dave bets - but only 1,100. OK, I make it 3,300 to go.
Dave looks taken aback, & starts with the speech play. I know, 100%, he's gonna Pass. He'd not mess about if he were ahead.
Dave then says "I think you are weak - I'm all-in".
Sheesh. It was 4,100 more to Call, & it went in pretty quickly. No choice now, as I am convinced my hand is good.
He flips 4-6 of hearts, for the Gutterball STR8 Draw & FD. He binked the 5 on the Turn, leaving me with 1,200, which I gambled & lost PDQ.
I was gutted, but I think it pretty much plays itself, for both of us. With hindsight, I bet the Flop, let HIM be the Re-Raiser, then I can set HIM in, & that plays different, but I doubt he ever Passes, & why should he? (He's about a 2/1 dog on that Flop, but he got the shove in first).
So I made a 'phone Call & got a friend to enter me into the £22 & £110 Deepies on Sky Poker, & then got stuck in a 90 minute jam on the M1, & missed the first 90 minutes of the £110 thing & 75 minutes of the £22-er. I recovered in both, but fell just short of the cash in both, too.
Not my best night ever......
It'd be just fine it it were in Doncaster, or Wakefield, or even somewhere remotely nice. Railway Stations = the Town's character.
The Caller - in this case the only guy left in the Hand - HAS to show to claim the pot here, IMO. It can be argued both weys, but I don't see the problem in showing.
I'm assuming they DID first see a Flop, Turn & River? And it was a Cash-game?
If a Tourney, & the money went in Pre, or on the Flop or Turn, the Dealer should not deal the Flop/Turn/River until BOTH Hands are OTB.
Does that answer the Question?
The famous "00" - the Rolls-Royce of Model Railways - was introduced just before WW11.
It was in the same ownership as Meccano for many years, & was eventually taken over by a toy & model railway maker everyone oveer the age of 40 would know - Tri-ang.
He started off 1901
I just wanted to ask what the odds are on a royal flush on the board? This happened to me when i was playing an mtt guaranteed game on monday 16th. Wish I had kept the hand I.D. so that it could be shown. Amazing to see naturally it was a split pot
