Hi Simon i have told you in your original post(unsure whether you posted here at the same time)

TK is always willing to help but you need to give him more info such as:

What games you play? stake?

Why you cant fold? what situations you find difficult and need help with?

Or even post a couple of hands...

Hi

Copied this from another part of the forum: Yes, download an app called iSwifter, load up the web site through that and it'll work

Morning John, & sorry to hear you had connection problems as noted by you in your Post dated 1st January, & I'm delighted to see that after a period of reflection, you returned to Sky Poker on January 2nd.

Good luck at the Tables in 2012.

pilgrim07 · January 2012

Hi Tikay. Happy New Year to you. Please, can you tell me what is the minimum number of players required, at a cash table, to constitute a raked hand in the context of c4p.

penguin7 · January 2012

Hi Tikay

Hope you enjoyed your break. A wonderful part of the world, I know the road to Skye very well.

As you know I enjoy PLO8, but it is still a minority sport here.

However I have noticed increased interest (and participation) lately in some of the hilo MTTs. And there is a growing hardcore of regulars.

Would it be possible to convince the powers that be to perhaps try putting a small guarantee on a nightly tournament to try to increase interest further.

I would suggest that a £3.30 tourny starting around 8pm would easily cover a £50 guarantee initially (although a braver step of a £100 gtee would be better still)

I would obviously play it regularly and try to promote it.

EDIT 8.25 TOURNY REGULARLY MAKING 20+ WITHOUT GUARANTEE

Hi Tikay can I share this hand with your viewers? My first Royal Flush after my opponent hit AK full house on the flop but the turn gave me my RF and I got paid handsomely considering I normally play 2/4p low stakes. This was on a 20/20 Action Table 16. Hand 458627754 Cheers from Last-to-go 16.

STARWIND · January 2012

Good afternoon Mr Star.

You are not "supposed to get it", you DO get it - assuming you are eligible, of course.

I can't really field such questions on "Ask tikay", I'd be on here all day & night, that's what Customer Care are for, so you'll need to contact them, I'm afraid. However, this may help you - have a good look....

Wow, nice one!

I'm sorry to say we cannot televise it, but well done you, that's quite something.

"Royals" are ten a penny in Omaha, particularly 5 & 6 card, but are mercifully rare in NLH.

I managed to get all-in with Ad-Jd in the early stages of a Tourney there last year, only to find I had walked smack into Aces, but I flopped the Royal. It's a game of skill, eh?

Hey last-to-go, this hand sounds "sick"! As it can't be shown, how about you post it on the forum? If you go to the "poker clinic" then you will find all the information you need to be able to post the hand!

Afternoon Tony, fine Post, and a Happy New year to you.

You make some fine points there, & I'll send it up to Rich & Adam for their consideration. The downside for Sky Poker would, I think, be fairly minimal, so deffo worth asking them to give it a spin, though, & for the sake of balance, the upside is pretty skinny, too. Still, that's the nature of the beast, building liquidity is one of those things that has to be taken one step at a time.

Take care mate, & I look forward to seeing you in Luton at the end of the month.

Posted by horses

A few players do this if there is a higher buyin tourny they know they are going to enter.

Satellties represent good value and are the best way to get in. But if you are multitabling it is easy to forget to buy in direct if you miss out in the sat.

Still have to remember to deregister when you are close to success in the satellite though.

Oooh, crossbar! Very fine effort, Sir, & a tidy few bob to boot, well done.

I obviously watched the entire Main Event Final Table, & you never put a foot wrong, great stuff, now enjoy the money.

PS - No, you don't get the Jackpot, but nice try!

I've no idea, Mr Horses, though Penguin's reply may be the answer. To be honest, it's none of my business, but feel free to PM Scotty & ask him if you wish.

Done, there will be a £5,.50 £100 Guaranteed Hi-Lo jobbie tonight @ 8.25pm.

ralpho1127 · January 2012

Hello Tikay, i was just wondering if you could find out if the sky poker tv channel is going to be showing the UKOPS ME semi satellite from the 23rd of december please ? And if so what date and time will it be aired ? They have so far shown 5 different episodes of the satellites from 8th of november to 16th of december, i think you featured on the 1st or 2nd one shown with Redmond Lee. I have set my sky plus box to record all episodes of UKOPS satellites highlights and so far it has recorded 15 ish episodes but it is only 5 different episodes in them 15 airings being shown on a repeat loop i presume. If you could find out if the semi sat from 23rd dec is going to be shown that would be great Tikay, then if its not i can take the setting of my box to record every episode as its wasting all the memory for recording other programmes on my sky box lol

THE_VALLEY · January 2012

Hi tikay, been playing on sky for a while now, normally small medium cash. however playing only 1 table is quite boring but i cant seem 2 multi table and get all screens in view hence i end up being timed out as the screen flips from table to table. is there a way of having say 4 tables in view at once? how do the players who play 10 or more tables at once do it?

khrist1977 · January 2012

Leg 4 North – Alea Casino, Glasgow 10th March 2012

Hi TiKay

Can we buy in direct for this event or is it online qualification only.

Thanks,
