Hi m8 re my last post,sincerest appologies for stupid question. Had one too many, which is really no excuse. Best wishes for 2010 and may the poker gods be with you and your fellow presenters at Sky Poker.

In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : I didn't know either but Google'd it - found this: "nit = no fixed definition but best description i can give is a really tight player who plays a very limited range and very rarely bluffs post flop"

This is not a question but a thank you Tikay!
I played in my first deep stack tournament last night like you suggested.

Alright Tikay - started with 40 0n 25/50p NL - got up to 330 and then on my last hand before dinner (i didnt want to go as there was a guy tilitin a bit (the one in the middle) , but anyway i flopped a flush - i think i shoved with 20 knowing i would get action of the guy in the middle but didn;t bank on expecting to dodge 2 cards with a spade - Dinner was very nice , but can you show it on tele. (its quite an intersting hand and I would enjoy seeing in tv) It was on the master cash table at about 6.40pm on 09/01
Cheers Tikay

Tikay is in Newcastle at the moment at the live game, you might try posting on the Mastercash thread if you want a hand shown.

tikay why don't you reply to your private messages?

MereNovice · January 2010

I'd guess that the answer to this one is that there are only 24 hours in a day even for someone with Tikay's enormous appetite for work.

Hi freechips

tikay does get a lot of pm,s, unfortunately, he has been offline since Friday due to doing the anouncing at Necastle, and does other things as well, so will have got a backlog, please bare with him, he will clear them as soon as he is able, thank you

Hi Jimmy.

I reply to every single PM I get. I get up to 100 a week. Some of them are very hard to reply to, for example - "how should I play AK UTG?" is like writing a book. One last week said "what have you been up to lately".......

I had dozens last week about SPT, & I got a little overwhelmed, so I fell behind. I frequently post on the Forum saying "bear with me, I'm a bit behind with PM's". I am also involved with another poker Site, & I get PM's on there too. In fact, if you go back a page or so on this Thread, you'll find someone complaining that I am slow to reply to PM's on that Site. I'm sorry, but I'm doing my best, that all I can say. And I DO answer every single one.

Your PM to me was dated 6.33pm on Wednesday last. I had widely informed everyone that I was travelling home on Wednesday night, which was during the blizzards & heaviest of the snowfall. I eventually got home after 1am. I went on Forum immediately, as something bad was going off that night (the Moaning Minnies were at play), & somebody Posted "tikay, do you ever sleep"?

I was tied up elsewhere on Thursday, preparing to go away on Friday. On Friday morning I drove up to Newcastle, worked from 10.30am Saturday until 2am Sunday without a break, and at 0930 on Sunday, I set off to drive back to London.

Today I'm trying to catch up on stuff, but I have not got as far as my PM's yet.

Your question was about books on Omaha.

I have been looking for a good educational book on Omaha for 10 years. None exists, they are all utterly useless, imo.

On Christmas Day, a friend showed me a new book on "How to Play Omaha" & it blew me away. It's stunningly good, breathtakingly brilliant, like no Omaha book ever written.

I have ordered 12 copies, which I will give to friends, & I'll donate a few as Prizes, both on the Forum, & on the Show.

I only ordered the Books last week, & once I've secured those 12 copies, I'll release the book's name & the author of the book, & also where it can be obtained, & at what price. I want to secure "my" 12 copies before I release the name, I hope you understand.

I'm sorry I never replied earlier, but that's just how I roll, I get a bit behind I'm afraid. I'm a little surprised you surmised I would not reply.

For generic querstions, such as yours, you are guaranteed a quicker answer if you use the "Ask tikay" thread, as numerous Members help me out with these questions.

All the best to you in 2009 Jimmy.

freechips1 · January 2010

wow, thanks tikay. ur getting on a bit now you wanna slow down before you work yourself into the ground. haha. take a holiday but not the Bahamas the weather isn't to good says james hartigan. i look forward to you announcing the title of this super book, many thanks jimmy

hi tk played in 5k bh tonight,went well played well no mistakes.was patient nicked the blinds when needed.came 16th in the end had 42k in bb had 3x raise from button i went all in with aa . he called leaving him 2k with q7 off suit.of course q flop 7 river,my question is why would someone call my reraise he would still have 32k he was caught with hand in till,why call,thing is its not a 1 off it happens a lot,with 16 players left and nearly 3 hours into tourney why put your chips up so cheaply ? if he was chip leader or large stack or short stack i could get it.i cant see he is getting odds for the call.i had 1 bounty so not like theres value there.or did i just walk into an orford again or should i say lml. it seems that not only do you have to play well,be lucky not to run into aa with kk etc.fold when you think your behind or not getting odds etc but you also have to not walk into the luckers ? regards brett

I've no idea what their logic was Brett. I see these calls all the time, & people ask me to explain. I can't, I'm afraid, "calling" is quite simply poor basics.

But you should not get frustrated. He loses that coup most times, & let's be realistic, we can't have our cake & eat it. Be happy when he calls with spanners, as you win the coup 4 times in 5. We NEVER complain when his bad calls miss!

Hi Brett, i had the same sort of thing happen to me and came 13th.
Short stack was all in, a raise from gav to 24k, i'm the chip leader and hold AK. To isolate the short stack i go all in, gav calls with QJ for his own bounty and tourny life needless to say he hits J then J.
A couple of hands later gav takes me out with my 99 v 88.
He did apologise for a bad call but you wonder dont you, why they play for so long then make a really bad call for all there chips. As Tikay says, accept it cause you will go mental if you dont and you will catch them out most of the time with lesser hands.

its just frustrating,it has happened the last 3 times ive gone deep in opens or large bhs,just got to hope patient play out does the luckers lol

Can I just say that having read through these last few pages there seem to be a lot of moaning minnies around at the moment!

I've never seen anyone have a work output like Mr Kendall - cut him in half and it would say Sky Poker all the way through. I saw him on Sunday and he looked shattered after a long saturday doing the live work at Newcastle.

To the moaners - give him some slack - if you have technical queries may I suggest you contact customer services or the appropriate dept - not sure how Tikay in London is supposed to sort out an account query which is dealt with by people in a different part of the country, not to mention the fact that Tikay doesn't have acess to account information.

Sorry to be a moaner too but please - let the man sleep! I'm sure he loves us all but give him five minutes to sleep will you? There is only so much coffee that man can drink for goodness sake! (Subtle lead into a new blog currently being written btw :-) )

Ok - complaint over - as you were. xx

I don't take "cat naps" Sir, I take power naps. I always wake up during the breaks, so I can poodle off & do the necessary, then return & fall asleep. It's the efficient way to play poker.

SDodger · January 2010

AIRWALKER · January 2010

Hi Tikay.

Can you please tell me how to get info on venues and dates for the tour. Is it how i think it is that you can meet people that you play against as well as presenters and play a live tournament. Could i bring a couple of mates with me who only play live and have no sky account.

Whats it like.

Thanks Very!

Ask Tikay?
