What adjustements need to be made when moving from NLHE MTTs and SNGs to PLO MTTs and SNGs? Primarily I'm thinking about not being able to shove with ten big blinds. When you get down to ten big blinds, do you just stick a pot sized raise in pre-flop and say that you are committed to the hand? Or do you just allow yourself to get down to, say, five big blinds before you need to do that?
Thanks

The evening Tourney was nothing to do with Sky Poker, so if you had problems, & it sounds like you did, it's best to complain to local Management at the G.
For what it's worth, with one exception, I've played in most UK Casinos, & it's best not to have much expectations as to Customer Service or good organisation, as it ain't gonna happen I'm afraid.
So I just chill, & what is, is, because we can't beat the system, & British Live Poker is, on the whole, not a well-managed or organised product. To be fair, I played Friday night's Tourney, & it was run just fine.
It's very easy to be critical, but it's not easy pleasing us poker players! As one who has organised &/or run hundreds of them, I speak from bitter experience on both sides of the fence.
If we pot it in PLO with 10 bigs in total, we are pot-stuck really. This means we need to try to engineer a situation where we can ramp it up pre, so as to put the max pressure on by getting the lot in pre. This is why Pot Limit is such a game of skill, especially when mixed with Omaha.
What you might try is limping in early pos if there is an aggro or serial Raiser on the Table behind you, let HIM be the Raiser, & so now you have some serious leverage to pot it, & allowing for a limper or two before all the action, we can now get the lot in.
What I would deffo NEVER do, is play No-Limit Omaha. It's brutally swingy, & is not for the faint-hearted, as the "Omaha Roulette" players just jam every hand. And in Omaha, even A-A-K-K (DS) is not that far ahead of anything.
Good Luck you.
If there's only two players left in the pot and one shoves is it allowable for the other player to reveal his hand (or even say what it is) when still making his decision?

Hi Tikay, posted this in The Poker Clinic and haven't had a conslusive answer yet. What sayeth thou young man?
Add on to the Omaha question earlier in the post - I still cannot find the reasons for all the raising pre that I see happening, my (limited) understanding is that Omaha is a post flop game & no hand pre is that far ahead, so bumping up the pot serves little purpose (duck the flying tomatoes etc.)
In NLH I understand the reasons but this eludes (spelling?) me?
PS. Whats wrong with Brussell Spouts?
PPS. I think someone let the cat out of the bag about your secret re age - wasnt me!
Thanking you in advance

I have cut and past her reply for you to see.
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your email.
I am afraid you can not join the same tournament as you could then be playing at the same table which is not allowed.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi Jon,
I don't really know the rules on this, & I don't have the remit or authority to comment on it either way, so I must defer to CC in this matter, though I'm slightly surprised at their reply, & in your spot, I'd suggest pushing back at them once more. Don't say I told you too, though.
What I can say, with 100% confidence, that in LIVE Poker (say, an SPT Event) husband & wife are 100% free to play in the same event.
We have many married couples playing the SPT Events, also brothers, father & sons, etc. At the Grand Final, Sue Norsden, (aka KidgirlGy, our Vegas heroine), husband Dave, & their son, all played. In Live poker, everyone can see everyone, so the transparency is total, & if they happen to end up on the same table, the rest of the table can see what's what.
In the interim, I really hope you both qualify for Newcastle, even if you have to qualify in separate Qualifiers.
Good Luck.
If memory serves, this has been covered before, I beleive that because varience is so big in MTT,s, it is possible for for two people from the same ISP to play, even on the same table, just canrt remember where it was
You are quite right the thing is varience is so different in a SNG, than it is in a MTT which is why I beleive that a couple can play in a MTT, and not an SNG
Thanks for your response and the good advice.
Am constantly watching SKY 865 and have improved my game already by watching and listening.
Keep up the good work and the rest of the team.

I asked a question on page 122 of this thread but cannot find a reply for it. Can you have a look and see please.
Thanks
Steve (the one with all the dogs)
this question has probably been done many times but i cant find it on the thread lol
how do you play 2-2 3-3 4-4 everytime i raise i get called and lose and when i flat call i lose is it just better to bin them?
If they didn't want 2 people from the same ip address in an mtt surely if one was registered the other one would not be able to?
Hi Lisa,
Good Post. As usual.
I have already suggested that Jononzie "pushes back" to Customer Care to clarify the position.
It is not a matter I can comment upon really, nor is it something that can be dealt with via the Community, it's a Customer Care matter, but if anyone wishes to PM me with concerns such as you raise, I'll gladly raise it with Head Office for you, or them.
The Rules are there for a reason, but they differ as to Cash games, SNG's, & MTT's, so the confusion is not without good reason.
Take care now, & I hope you & yours are well, & in good heart.
Ps - xxxxxxxxxxx
I'm working to get this Thread fully up to date by the end of this week, & that includes your question, so bear with me please, & apologies for the delay.
I,ve just been watching the clips from the SPT in Blackpool on youtube, but i didn,t see any hands been played.
As the cameras were showing some of the hands as they were being played out is there anwhere i can find them to watch?

Hi Geeepeee, I am afraid I have had to delete your post from this thread as I feel it was inappropriate for this or any other forum thread. Sky Mod
Although I agree the call was not the best I think it is very disrespectful for another player to call him a moron, especially when the player is meant to be representing Sky.I think his comments are very bad and also reflect badly on the site
I agree entirely, that it's most disrespectful to call any other player a "moron", no matter what the circumstances, & I'd like to think that no decent player would resort to such childish & rude comments.
The player you mention, however, is most certainly not a "Sky Team" player. With the exception of Lisa-Marie Long, all of the Team Sky Poker players are up in Blackpool today, playing Live, at the GUKPT.
If you are unhappy with the conduct of ANY player, you should report them to Customer Care. We want Sky Poker to be a place where players can enjoy their poker free of such puerile nonsense.
Good luck at the Tables.
