thanks rosjim
The finishing time is hard to predict, as we don't yet know the field size. The more runners, the later it may finish, & it is now looking like we will be north of 250 runners.
The structure is identical to the monthly (now fortnightly) DTD £300 Deepstack, which usually finishes at between 10pm & midnight, but that can vary too, as "business" is often agreed towards the end, which changes the play dynamic.
I will be very surprised indeed if it finishes before 10pm on the Sunday, & it may well run beyond midnight.
There is NO CHANCE of it finishing by 7pm or 8pm, no chance whatsoever.
In several countries, including the US of A, yes, they are taxed on winnings in Live Poker. They are not taxed on Online winnings in the US of A because, effectively, Online Poker is outlawed in North America, & you cannot impose a legal tax on an illegal ctivity.
Sometimes, luck being what it is, we have to sit & endure long spells without playable hands. And that is where the real skill of poker comes into play. Players like Praz, Sam Trickett, Jake Cody, Lolufold, Scotty77 et al do not need playable hands - they find "spots", "positions", "situations".
In short, when you are not getting hands, you just have to dance a little.
Now, a question for you, given your name is "Owls".
Are you aware of the very specific method that the Burrowing Owl uses to feed? It's really quite extraordinary, & a very neat trick indeed. But not one that you or I would necessarily enjoy......
In light of the 35 suited saga, going on in the general chat, you say that "you don,t ever know of a self-exclusion being overturned"
My question is - What if your girlfriend or wife pressed it when you nipped to the toilet or to make a brew etc etc as she was getting miffed that you were playing to much poker and not giving her enough attention.
Would it still be a no-no from Sky?
Ps - Ive posted it on here as I didn,t want to bring the topic back to the top of the forum as I think that thread has now run its course
my work poker club want to find a new website that will help them play every wednesday in a private game, is this possible? if so would we be able to get a pot for our quaterly prizes for our top 10 anyway let me know thanks
* Super-Fast, defined as at LEAST 2 hands per hour, & I might even call all-in with as little as K-K.
it appears we were born on the same day sir
Were you also born in 1968? That'd be some coincidence!
hope i see you soon as i enjoy your summarys

You won for 2 reasons, really.
It was one of those nights when you on almost all of your races, & you have an extremely good technical understanding of when, & how, to get your money in, in particular, almost never limping, but also great aggression mixed with positional sense. You also seem to understand the maths of poker, as in knowing when you are "pot-stuck", & being able to make those very difficult marginal calls.
It was an absolute delight to watch, & to commentate upon. You will win plenty more, imo. If you were a racehorse, Timeform would rate you with a "P". They would also say "most impressive performance, front runner, led a long way out, came under pressure close home but rallied strongly, could stay further, will improve & win races at higher levels. One to follow. P. "
23 heads, wow!
Any chance of a response when you get a moment.
Also, any chance of you doing a blog rounding up what happened at the WPT London as I was enjoying them but they just stopped.
All the best, Darn.
Yes, I'm trying to catch up on this Thread, my apologies, & I'll try to answer your question properly on Monday or Tuesday. (I'm at DTD for the SPT Grand Final all weekend).
The final WPT Blog - ditto! I'll also be doing the same thing at the WSOP-E, & maybe the EPO, & EPT, too.
A good moment for me to apologise for getting behind with this thread, & with my PM's. I have 280 unanswered PM's, I try to do 10 or 20 per day, but sometimes they just come in too fast.
I particularly want to apologise to Direwolf, aka Guy, who sent me an urgent note weeks ago, & I "missed it", which caused some problems. I'm sorry, Guy.
It's hard to plan my days, because unexpected things go off all the time. This week has been very testing, as two things went off involving very loyal Sky Poker players, both friends really, & it's been a nightmare involving dozens of e-Mails & phone calls to sort out. These things are much easier to solve when kept low profile, they just are, but they still involve shed loads of work, & I enjoy doing it. But I don't enjoy getting behind, & letting folks down.
Today & yesterday, I've been inundated with people asking me to get them a SPT Grand Final Seat, which is quite frustrating, as they've been available for months, & now the thing is sold out!
Such is life.
Anyway, thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain, & I hope you re both well, & dancing & golfing as much as ever.
E.
PS - no doubt one of those 9,000 PMs is from me so apologies! ;-)
And take a day off man!
