Did any of the Sky team cash in Vegas and how did Andrew 1947 get on ?
tikay is a very busy man, he does answer them as and when he is able, he will even cover those that have already been answered if you care to check through the thread, he may well answer this on too as and when
Hope you can make it to our Grand Final in Nottingham next month.
Barry has answered the question, I cannot access the Hand History of other players, & it would be quite wrong if I could. As Barry suggests, just post the hand in the Poker Clinic, & you'll get a whole bunch of helpful advice.
You say you "took abuse" for playing a certain hand a particular way? Ignore it. I assume you won the hand, & there are a minority of players who cannot stomach losing, (most of whom are not terribly bright, obv), & so become abusive if they lose a hand. Just ignore them - you are playing with your own money, play any way you like, it's nobody's business but yours how you spend your money.
It's a very sad aspect of poker these days that some players cannot handle defeat like grown-ups, but you just have to ignore them, & they are very much in the monority. Abuse only happens when YOU win the hand, too. Strange that!
Enjoy your poker, & ignore the saddos.
Have you tried Monday's DTD on Sky Poker? Costs £5.50 for THREE Tourneys, & the banter & craic is incredible. The whole thing is organised & run by the regulars, especially Chris (scouse-red) & Michael (DTW Bandit), & I know they'd both make you very welcome.
If in doubt, contact Customer Care.
I'm sorry to see you have had a few outdraws, but nobody is exempt from them, they are part of poker, & we just need to learn to accept that the MORE bad calls people make against us, the more we will win. Simple!
We must not, however, allow ourselves to be seduced by selective or short-term memory - of course bad calls hit from time to time, but in most cases (mathematical fact) if we go in with the best hand, & WE PLAY IT PROPERLY, we will win over the longer term.
An oddity of poker, which I've never even begun to understand, is why some poker players berate bad plays, or bad players. Surely they'd do the opposite, loigically?
I have enboldened two sections of your question, where you seem to suggest it is Sky Poker's fault. Well the cards just come as they are dealt, or virtually shuffled by the RNG. If we start blaming Online Sites, or, in Live Poker, the Dealer, for outdraws, well I think there is a disconnect in our thinking.
Tonight, Sky Poker will deal it's 400 millionth hand. If there were anything improper in the way cards are dealt, I think someone may have spotted it by now!
I hope your luck changes soon.
Here is what tikay has written above
Showing bluffs is a double-edged sword, & very few players do it for gain, most do it for ego purposes. Like speech-play, if used properly, & with some thought, it is a useful weapon. If used wrong, it is a waste of time, it merely fuels the ego.
I know very few players who use speech-play, or show bluffs, effectively. Mostly it's "look how well-endowed I am". Umm, not very, mate.....

[QUOTE]So Tikay, what advantage do you have over the common punter..are you able to access our history of play?? I see that many hands are replayed on sky tv..can you gain access to our previous hands in games we played? Be honest now

Hi Manxy.
Q. Am I able to access players hand histories?
A. No.
Q. Can I access previous hands when hands are replayed on TV?
A No.
Q. What advantage do I have over what you describe as a "common punter"?
A. Only my youth & good looks.
I have EXACTLY the same access to other players hand histories as you or anyone else - that is to say, none. I am a "common punter" & have no access beyond what any & all players have.

Well thats me put in my place Tikay hehehehe, I only asked as I watch you presenters fiddling with the keyboards when discussing games etc calling up hands maybe?? I wasnt questioning your integrity one bit, it was tongue in cheek really. Also very glad to know that you feel you a 'common punter' along with us all
Keep up the good work and try please to go see a tailor sometime

I would suggest contacting Customer Care, contact details are at the bottom left hand side of the page.
ok as no one seems to answer this i have play 4 games tonite and been flushed out of 3 2 of which were 4 to a flush yet again now either im going mad or theres something seriously wrong no one can be that unlucky wouldnt u agree?? further to this i also was involved in 2 hands that i won with flushes where i had only 1 suit sky sort out your rng its getting embarrassing and tikay your associated to this ask some questions!!
This was an answer from tikay, with the number of hands dealt on any site outdraws are bound to happen more:
