    Right I'm ready and waiting for anothe challenge. I've signed up for the 7.05pm TT to start with.

    Got a feeling it could be very, very quiet tonight because of the great weather outside.

    That said, it would be an excellent week to post a result in a timed tournament, as it would haver a very good chance of picking up an 8pm Thurs main event seat.

    Out of the first one, was going along nicely until someone limp/called my shove with Q5 and binked -_- Sigh.

    Ul mate.

    Didn't join my first game until the halfway point- admittedly not great tactics for a 30 minute timed tournament! Had to shove in the first available spot with 5-6 and it didn't happen.

    My 2nd attempt will be a proper attempt- at 7.45pm.

    No joy for me in the 7.45pm, now moving on to the 8.20pm £5.50 TT

    Good luck all!  No results posted so far this week.

    Knew the weather would play a part this time!

    First result of the night for me- it won't count towards the competition though as I can't enter it. But blimey charley, ANYONE who posts an ROI  right now gets a free seat into tomorrow night's Thursday night Bounty Hunter unless someone else posts a better score.

    What are you waiting for?

    I came 23rd/93 in the 8.20pm

    Hi guys

     slightly un-related, but i saw Mr Orford in same tourny and wondered if same happened to him or anyone else for that matter....
     
    The 7.45pm £250 gtd timed tourny kicked off and something wasn't quite right, i was on another tourny at same time which was fine but the timed one went CRAZY....there were no avatars...no stacks....and even worse NO HOLE CARDS, also no names appeared, i played the whole thing blind as did a few other players...some people could see their cards and some couldnt, every now and then cards would appear briefly (when they were terrible) and then dissapear again......where the stacks should be it said  " 0.0-1"

    I normally do quite well in these tourneys and i love em dearly but OH MY GOSH was it tilting not being able to see cards,stacks and names.....

    My paranoid mind thinks someones managed to hack Sky somehow and take the tourny home for themselves, maybe the guy who won it...hmmmmm

    I phoned Customer service who said no-one else had this problem, although a guy i was playing with Pete1966 said he'd back it for me that this indeed did happen...he obviously didnt phone Customer service because they said no-one had called...
    Customer service DID refund the original buy-in which was really nice of them... but i cant help feeling something was seriously amiss...

    What could cause this to happen? Can anyone out there confirm i am not going crazy....Customer duty Manager could see nothing on system.... but i am now too scared to play these incase it happens again....

    i saw RICHORFORD in lobby which made me think maybe he saw some weirdness on his table or knew someone who did....

    i dunno...i feel i lost out on potential profit because of something i dont understand and still havent got any answers to....

    I'm going to write to Alderney Gambling Commision to see if they can find an answer because something weird is going on and if Sky dont know about it, then somebody better had...

    I cant believe i'm the only one who actually reported this....can anyone let me know if they have an inkling cos i'm stumped....    : (

    I hate moaning and grumbling but this needs investigating, i make a little money on these tournys nothing major but i'm getting by....now this has happened i'm wondering if its safe to go back in the water...lol

    Again sorry for hijacking the thread just wondered if i'm the only one....Thanks Guys (and Gals) ; )

    Hello mate, only just read this.

    Sorry to hear you had trouble in the 7.45pm.

    I can honestly say I experienced no such problems, other than being rubbish at poker!

    The graphics and hole cards loaded fine for me.

    As Mod Chris says, best thing is to talk to customer care giving as much detail as poss, and I wish you the best with it.

    Errrrrrrrr - so that didn't go to plan in a 1 hour timed tourny.

    Started at 10pm - break at 10.55pm and then tourny ended? Not sure that is supposed to happed. I thought we still got 1 hour of play from the way it was explained?

    Could just be another gremlin?

    Hey guys, following the fun as always, sadly got a nasty beat in my only attempt this evening so looks like im going to have to wait till next week. 

    Quick question, is it me or were there less timed touraments in the lobby this evening. It may well be that am very tired but didn't appear to be as many games this evening. 

    Good luck to all playing

    Well done scouse_red if you hold on to win, especially after being so close last week. Am probably wrong but there don't seem to have been as many timed tournaments in the lobby as usual tonight?

    I played a £3 one earlier on and ended up with a - ROI! Am tempted to play the £5, 15 minute one at 11.40pm if the target is still achievable!

    I've drawn the powers-that-be's attention to the timed tourney break and also the lack of 60 minute tourneys tonight so hopefully that will be redressed by next week if it's possible.

    I'm regged for the 15 minute one at 11.40pm and that will be my final shot tonight.

    Chris is still leading though!

    It does seem like a slow evening,
    I got £12.26 in a £5.50 (15min) earlier Tournament ID: 6376071
    I think that's 123% ROI
