    tikay - im gonna be at Luton on Thursday for the rebuy starting at 8.30 and the APAT is in town at 2.30...if I turn up at say 5/6 do you think that there will be cash games running or are APAT members massive nits who only play tournies????
    Posted by scotty77
    I would think the Cash Games would be buzzing - if Nina/Niall can spare the Dealers.

    APAT-ers coming from Mainland Europe, Luton will be almost taken over by APAT for 4 days!

    They do have a smattering of nits, & a good few LAG's, too. And Mo Muse will probably be there.....

    Hi Tikay,             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                                 Cherrybank

    Hi Cherry,

    No, I don't actually!

    But I know a man who does. Await a visit fom MereNovice, & he'll give you the odds down to 389 decimal places.

    Hope you are enjoying your poker.

    I played him on 200nl last night.  He had 3bet me PF and I flat with TT.

    I flopped a set on a Q T 3rainbow board and he check folded.

    I was shocked.  It actually felt like a beat tbf.

    edit cheers for the info.

    Yes, not being able to see the Board Cards must be a trifle irritating, I can see that.

    On the little box for Seat Rotation, there is a "CLOSE" button - have you clicked that?

    I can't really assist to be honest, it's one for the Techies. Perphaps a Post in the "Technical Queries" board might help.

    The new '' PRIMO'' on a sunday. ''WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO''?
    The show is live for ''4hrs''.
    Only one problem ''NOT ENOUGH AIR TIME''. What a bunch of IDOTS!!
    8:00pm: the show starts.
    8:03pm: all the jibberish stops and the first hand is shown
    8:05pm: time for a break
    8:09pm: Time for E-MAILS
    8:12pm: ''So TIKAY, what are your thoughts on that e-mail then?
    blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
    8:17pm: time for a break
    8:20pm: lets see whats happening around the poker world then shall we
    8:30pm: WAIT FOT IT.... youv'e gussed it! it's time for a break
    lol
    8:31pm: not a long break... the second and third hand of the night and if your lucky, maybe.. just maybe if the ''POKER GODS'' are looking down, the forth hand of the night

    SO, LETS RECAP SHALL WE. DO YOU REALY WANT THAT RECAP??????? I THOUGHT NOT..

    ''NOT ENOUGH AIR TIME'' THEY SAY. If i wanted to ''HEAR'' what people had to say about a particular hand then i wodda watched the ''CLUB''!

    45MINS Wasted and youve seen for hands so far. IVE seen more hands shown on the CLUB!
    WTFF man! they have a 4hr slot and they cannot finish the show. not only that. as soon as it is finished its the PRIMO AGAIN! now most people may think that it is carrying on.. but no, its a repeat of the 1 youve just seen.
    Thay spend more time talking about ''nonesence'' then anything else. FFS! the reason i tuned in was to watch the PRIMO. if i wanted to hear people just talking for 25mins then i wodda called my DAD.
    ahh BLESS. his not too well....lol

    Dear oh dear SKY.. and you wonder why players are leaving you and joining other SITES... If I had seen those players on the street, I would walk upto them and give them a BIG HUG.

    THE MASTERS CASH
    A show full of cash hands?
    nope, E-mails. Opinions, Poker world. Lets see how tikay got on in america
    you should re-name it to............ wait for it.. youve guessed it
    E-MAILS. OPINIONS, POKER WORLD. LETS SEE HOW TIKAY GOT ON IN AMERICA

    Oh, one more thing. ''SKY'' do you know how to follow a television schedule????????????
    ALL you ever see is repeats and more repeats of the same bloody show!
    Why cant you show more tournaments. or is it ''NOT ENOUGH AIR TIME''?
    you have enough time to talk RUBBISH but nothing else

    What exactly was your question, please?

    To everyone who I bad-beated in tonight's 7.30, £22 30 runner deepie - & there were lots of you - I'm sorry! No hands until the final, just crept into the Final under the Radar, then BOOM BOOM BOOM, & I sucked out on everyone. MereDonkey was horrified.

    So, nearly £200 locked up. Trust me to be on PTP duty - & thus the winnings are not mine. ;)

    Hi thompson

    It is accepted that you use between 2% and 10% of your bankroll,depending who you ask, I would suggest low level DYM,s, or if your bankroll can afford it deepstack tournaments, these are a great way to learn poker and you have plenty of time.
    Hope his helps

    It's also the same odds as flopping a royal flush in Texas Hold 'Em.
    See the the opening post in the following thread for a method to calculate the odds.

    What Are The Odds?

    Hi Thommo.

    Have you played much poker before?

    What is your Bankroll, or more likely, how much can you afford to spend (& possibly lose) per week?

    Let me know, & I'll see if I can help.

    If you are a compl;ete novice, you will lose a little money whilst learning. But if you grasp the basics quickly - & the best way to learn is to lose a little, as it hurts - you will very soon be a break-even player, or even profitable. Poker is just a hobby at our level, & most hobbies cost a little money.

    It depends - some players are better at Cash, others are better at Tourneys. Very few excel at both.

    And it depends on how much you can afford to spend, & potentially, lose.

    As a genereral rule, cash play is less volatile, & has less variance, than Tourneys. And in Tourneys, DYM's have the least Variance & Volatility.

    Hi Tikay

    As a big follower of PNL I have been following your thread with Ladyfingers, I await with baited breath on the story of the very sad demise of PNL.

    Who came out on top in the money stakes when the presenters played in the televised tourneys?

    it's like getting blood out of a stone with the ''sky presenter''.
    you ask a question concerning the ''sky live tv programe'' and you get as follows:


    ''Thanks General.

    What exactly was your question, please? ''

    ''LOL''
    thats y i luv this site!!
    always avoiding the OBVIOUS hey TIKAY?

    I'll try & get back onto this asap.

    I have a heavy (non-Sky Poker) Meeting at Noon today, then will pop into G-Luton for the start of the 4 day APAT extravaganza, then continue North & go home to sort some stuff out. Tomorrow I'll be heading back South, (Friday on the M1/M40/M25, luverly), so it'll probably be Saturday before I can get on the case properly. 

    Take care.

    Hi Tikay,

    Been playing on Sky for a while now, mostly SNG DYM, enjoy it a lot.

    Quick Question,  A new Casino has just opened up near me and I understand they are doing Poker Lessons......


    Your opinion.... worth a visit or just keep reading the books and play online to get more experience that way.


    By the way, love the show, especially the banter.  Keep it up

    They have had two now, so I'm sure there'll be more in due course.

    But if you want FREE MONEY, & lots of it, I'll be making some Posts in the next half-hour which WILL interest you.......

    Here's a hint if you like money.
