id say your looking at some 10 seat sit and goes for the best value you want
most tournys are over 3 to 4 hours
and the quicker you do get a lot off chancers in and some loose play as the blinds raise quickly
Hi Guys,
I'll try & update & answer this thread tomorrow.
I have been offline for 24 hours, so have some catching up to do, & I have the Live Show with his Orfulness Orford tonight. Into each life, a little rain must fall, eh?
299463825 what do u think,could i have played it any different
tikay, like us cannot get access to your hand history, can I suggets you copt and paste it into the Poker Clinic Setion where you will get good responses
In fact, it is a very interesting question, which I'm interested to hear other's views on.
It is possible, yes. The WSOP has a Seniors Event, & several poker organisations have Female Only Events.
So it begs the question - are these sort of Events Ageist, & Sexist? Both would be entirely improper & inappropraite if they were, & Sky Poker do not allow sexism or ageism. (Jibes about my age, or Welsh people, don't count, obv).
Personally, I think it's wrong to allow "female only" Tourneys. Why? Because imagine the hoohah if there were "Men Only" Poker Tourneys, from which females were barred. There'd be an outcry, & quite right too. So it should cut both ways.
"Seniors" Tourneys? Again, the problem is that other age groups might feel disenfranchised.
All these things have to be taken into account, & the problem is, there is no "one size fits all" answer.
Good question, Mr Mallett, & I'd be interested in feedback from others.
here is the hand in question:
On the poker league display, what's the chances of being able to see your position when you sort by just MTT or STT please? I doubt I'll ever be rocking the volume in cash to top the league on big points alone, and am sure many are in the same boat.
Think it would help motivation towards working a relevant league position for TSP or other promotions. For the monthly league I usually just guess and then try to register for the end of month tourney. I'd hope it wouldn't take a Sky tech that long to code a better league view. And a 3 month view for TSP would be essential.
Anything you can put to the suits or techs much appreciated. Or an update if something like this is on the way.
Cheers.
ive got position,the flop comes ive hit top pair,i push and he calls on a gut shot,was his not a bad call
As you've asked the question, I hope you don't mind if I give my honest view. You may not like it, though!
1) Forget - FORGET - what daft things other players may or may not do. It's their business, not ours. We play our hands with our money, they play their hands with their money. We will never improve our game if we focus on what the Villain did wrong - we should look at ourselves, not them.
2) Forget - FORGET, all the stuff from the Flop, "his bad call". You can never do anything about it, so forget it, it will not help us improve our game or results one jot or tickle.
3) As with almost ALL things in poker, the problem in this hand came pre-flop. At the time it was a little problem (if we call 25% of our stack "little"), but as is invariably the case, it just got bigger & bigger, & worse & worse. All because of OUR primary error pre-flop.
4) We must not, under almost any circumstances, be CALLING 25% of our stack pre-flop with J-Q. We only have two options in that spot, given the stack sizes. FOLD (I prefer) or SHOVE. Call is absolutely not an option. The default setting should be to prefer to be the Raiser or shover rather then the caller. I'd rather shove with 3-6, than Call with J-Q. All day, & all night.
Really, M'Lord, your game results will improve 50% overnight if you take that on board. In that spot, RAISING, or FOLDING, beats calling.And ignore what Matey Boy does, because we cannot do anything about his bad play.
But that completely misses my point - because we cannot control what Villain does. And we CAN control what WE do.
If we look elsewhere to blame someone when in fact we made a bad play ourself, we will be kidding ourselves. When we mangle a hand, (& most of us, do, & most days), we need to.....
1) Recognize our error.
2) Learn from it.
3) Implement what we learn, so we don't drop back into bad habits.
I absolutely guarantee that Mr Judge's game will improve enormously if he starts looking at his own play, rather than blaming bad calls by others as the excuse. And that applies to all of us.
I hope Mr Judge does not mind me being so honest here, but I really want him to take this on board.
Hi Peter Pan,
A good question, & one I expect to see a lot more of in the next 10 days or so.
In broad terms, they are cleaning up the Tourney Lobbies, in readiness for a fresher, cleaner, approach. This includes removing any Tourneys which don't attract runners, hence I guess some of the Omaha Tourneys have disappeared. I can't promise anything, as it needs doing, but I'll deffo word Adam, & let you know what he says.
The freshening up, &, we hope, improving of the Tournament range, selection, value, guarantees, & playability, is bound to please many, & displease some, too, it's inevitable. So Sky Poker WILL listen, & act upon, solid feedback, & adjust the schedule accordingly.
It's like when they move stuff to new places in Supermarkets, nobody likes it, & everyone gets uppity. I can't wait for the noise to start.
As to Omaha, jeez, I wish I could play Omaha non-stop, for ever more. Personally I prefer it, on so many levels, & the value there is incredible. Most Omaha players are really still playing Hold Em hands, & do not adjust to the nuances of a game that is fundamentally, in almost every way, different. When I'm King for a day, I'll make every game Omaha. I don't expect to reign for long, though. Not even 1 day, I guess.
Early on in the Take on Tikay (8.30) I was playing against some bloke pretending to be U.
U questioned my all-in with 108 on a JJ432 board when u had the appaling gaul to have a fullhouse.
This was not as crazy as it 1st seems as I had just had call from the missus that she had a puncture & I had to go do the White Knight & horse thing (or is it a white horse & knight - can never remember?)
So was totally pre-meditated that I was gonna 3 barrel next hand regardless hoping to have a stack left after my daring rescue when I returned.. When U called with trips (fish, lol?) thro flop & river I only had 1300 odd chip left gave up & that point & gifted u the remainder.
Shouldn't of bothered really, took me nearly 2 hours to change the dam wheel & froze me whatnots off!
Thought u deserved explanation though, hope the extra start helped.
PS - Did you HAVE to Post it on the Forum? Now everyone knows how I got off on a flying start. Marv. Could you not have said "tikay thoroughly outplayed me & made a hero call"?
