    Names made so they cannot be made out sorry about that. No need to report it I can understand the frustration that leads to it we have all felt it and it wasn't that bad in fairness.

    Tikay thanks for the quick response and I appreciate the comments which are very true. I wouldn't have minded some feedback on my play though as it's always good to have another insight to try and improve my game.

    Were you in Torquay the other day?

    I was walking through one of our parks and spotted an elderly gentleman (in a strange scarf) feeding the pigeons.  This person was not only feeding the pigeons but also telling them what to do "You've had enough, let someone else have some, you stop being a bully or I won't feed you anymore!"
    As I watched, I noticed one of the pigeons was on the outer edge of the rest and was not able to get any of the lovely seed which was being offered.  I realised this pigeon had some sort of line tangled around it's leg and this was hampering it's movement. The 'pigeon feeder' noticed this birds' injury.  Without a seconds' hesitation the man shouted at the to of his vioce.........






    "If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times... Never Ever Limp!"

    Rumbled, that was me, Smudgesmit!

    This coming Saturday, on the Live Show, I expect to reach a personal milestone - it will be the 1 zillionth time I have said to players "please limp less"! They never listen to me, though, so they are not that daft.

    Fortunately, the better Tourney structures being phased in now do the job for me, because the more technically correct players are cashing time & time again. (Have you seen GliterBabe's results lately?) Long may it last.

    In Response to Re: Deep in $5 rebuys:
    In Response to Deep in $5 rebuys : Hi Mark, That's a really well-constructed & presented Question. I think you are starting fom the wrong place, though. 17th of 1,690 this week, & 67th last week is excellent - there's not much wrong with your game. (More of which shortly). You have to grasp a fundamental though. In 1,700 runner Tourneys, someone like Phil Hellmuth, who, shall we hypothesise, has a decent edge on the fierld in relative terms, will win it, what, one time in 600? 700? And he'll cash 3 times in 10, maybe. There is massive Variance in large-field Tourneys, & you are just are NOT gonna win every one.   Now, your game. Well it seem fine to me, but there's just one trick to remember. The deeper you go, the more aggro you must be. Just gradually fettle the aggro throttle firmer & firmer. Hand ranges? Forget them. Play position, players, "spots", little commando raids on the Blinds. 4-4? Muck it or shove, never call. Be persistently consistent, & look for every single "spot" you can. Unopened Pots in late Position are a golden harvest waiting to be picked, & first one to Bet usually gets the fruit. Good Luck - come & tell us when you get the big scoopio. PS - And, ahem, play more on Sky Poker!

    Hi Tikay,

    I am back. Been away in France for a while. My game has come on leaps and bounds just following your last few gems of advise. My last 3 SKY poker tournaments have harvested 2 wins. My game is ready for the next level. I will try the primo and some of the bigger tournaments on here between now and christmas.

    I am ready to post some of my findings from the last couple of years. Strategy has moved on but the basics are still always worth remembering.

    See you at the tables

    Mark

    Just played this evenings £11 SPT event at 10pm which I think is going to be shown on TV at some point. I was looking to win my third tournament from 4 entries. I got heads up but got disconnected! So frustrating only to get reconnected and blinded away in minutes when the chip leader. Is there any compensation for that from SKY? I thought I had his game sussed to and was looking forward to taking him out - so a little sour going to bed.

    Hope to see some hands on TV

    A "not so serious" question regarding the recent maintenance.

    Can you get them to change the site back to before it happened?
    I was winning then, but since the site came back on I've been out flopped and rivered so many times I think it has been rigged against me!!?
    It was extremely annoying yesterday to put it mildly, not so much this morning.

    Well, you did say to post more?!

    Does anybody know any funny moves????? My personal fav... The guy's checking before you then calling a hearty raise, obviously fishing, and does so on the flop and then repeats the turn... If the river comes an innocent card and he checks again, trust me, you could fire 1  BB and he would fold his hand instantly... so what i do is just check it in behind them revealing the extent of the guys fishing to the table and in the process embarassing the player fishing... then maybe a cheeky comment saying "you'll never be a fisherman *fish slap*" or "desperate call on the turn pal" either way he'll think twice about fishing against you again...

    Hi benny

    Some people have more than one monitor attached to the PC, and can have at least 4 tables per monitor, the more monitors, the more tables thay can play at one time.

    Poker bots, they are a programme written to supposedly play poker and try to beat the odds by calculations of the algorhythms of the Random Number Generater, no poker site will allow them, the software each poker site has can spot them instantly by its play and would freeze the account it plays on.

    Poker bots are actually computer programmes written to play poker. They do not calculate anything related to Random Number Generators but work using algorithms written to try to produce near optimal play. They vary in sophistication but are largely predictable (and hence exploitable by good players) due to their nature.

    Poker sites routinely monitor action to make sure that these types of programs are not used.

    Some inexperienced players claim that their use is much more widespread than it actually is because they cannot understand how a human being can play so many concurrent tables. However, if you look on  a well known video hosting site, you will be able to find many videos of people playing staggering numbers of tables.

    You can rest assured that the players who seriously multi-table on Sky Poker are real human beings. You can even meet some of them if you turn up at a Sky Poker Tour event.

    hello Tikay

    this is my first post on the forums any ideas would be greatly recieved

    i have been watching sky poker (which i this is top notch btw) for a while and now have decided to have a go.

    when i first started i was admittedly hemorrhaging cash like no tomorrow from being to aggressive and lose in wrong places so i have become alot tighter and lowered my range

    Just wanted to get your throught on this today was 1 of many toble that ive sat down at where it was a tight table and i brought in for max which was £8 it was a 4p/8p table but the deck was cold for me for a number of hour what should i be doing move on or grind through it

    ty very much keep up good work

    I was playing in one of the S P T qualifiers earlier today and something strange happened. My hand was raised and I was unable to see my cards. I dont need any action done nor am I going to complain as the blinds were 20/40 and I still had my 3000 stack so the 120 chips didnt affect the game. I obviously had to fold when it came round to me after there was a caller as I still had two cards face down and I would be betting blind. I folded and continued the game with no other problems but what would happen in this situation if it was at a later stage of a tournament?

    Can anyone tell me how to win a hand with K K. I have played them in as many different ways possible since June 2009 and have managed to win less than 5% of the time. One site in particular I find they almost never win. The last 6 times I ve had them they have lost all in pre flop. The odds were that bad that I stopped playing them for 2 or 3 months but after an update saw that they were fairing better but the last 2 months have convinced me that its best just to fold them.

    Basically its much quicker and is a big help to those who multitable.  Also should stop all those annoying disconnections that some players have been experiencing as t takes up less computer memory.
