In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi Shauny, Starting at the end, my luck is just grand, thank you, it always is. I can't win a hand at the Tables, but you know how it is, form comes & goes in poker. So, many congrats on winning your Luton SPT Seat. How long will it last? It's a 1 day Event, will start at 2pm, & the Tourney will end between Midnight & 1am. Fun SNG's will last all night, however, probz until we get thrown out. Many of us will be there on the Friday night, though, for the £75 Freezeout at 8.30pm (7,500 chips) , & on Sunday they have a lovely £100 Freezeout (10,000 chips) at 5.30pm. Which Presenters? Lisa-Marie & Trevor Harris. Rich Orford will also arrive at about Midnight, as soon as Total Player has finished, so there's some easy PTP SNG money to be had. I'll be there at the start, until about 5pm, then I have to dash back to the Studio as it's the BIG Total Player night that nibht, when the winner is announced, but I'll be back at about Midnight, too. Celeb Guests? Yes, several are lined up alrerady, with more awaiting confirmation. Names to be revealed later though. Look forward to seeing you there. Make sure you make yourself known to me, so we can have a chat.

The three card part of a house is what matters, three 6's are bigger than three 2's. Therefore 66622 would win.

The player with the higher set of three wins the hand.

So 66622 beats 222KK.

Similarly AAA22 beats KKKQQ etc.

Hi chooselife.

The easy way to remember this one is that it's the "three of a kind" that counts first. And it's the "highest" three of a kind that wins.

So, 6-6-6-2-2 ("sixes full") beats 2-2-2-K-K ("two's full").

Note, to be precise, your hand would be described as 2-2-2-K-K, not K-K-2-2-2.

Bit unlucky that one!

How's that for swift responses? - the question was posed at 12.56, & there were three replies, at 1.03, 1.03 again, &, sigh, I was slowest at 1.05!

I'll pick up the other questions in the morning.

thanks everyone

real shame but I still came first close though

Tikay don't you think that as the site grows (such as when you introduce software) and more and more players join, skypoker will lose that community feeling and spirit that is unique about this site?

Posted by BrownnDog

To a degree, Lewis, yes, it's inevitable. All Forums have a "growth pattern", too, & once they get past a certain size, it's not quite so easy to "feel the warmth" as much.

But so far, other than the inevitable few idiots - & you see them on here, regularly - it's pretty good, & that's despite the fact that Sky Poker is growing at an incredible rate, with - literally - record numbers on the Site recently.

Sky Poker also do quite a few unusual things, to keep the "feel" just so. TKO is great case in point - it costs £4,000 a throw, but the warmth it generated was priceless, so they have repeated it. They did some "SnowBall" Freerolls last week, too, they got massive numbers, because everyone was stuck at home. I don't recall many other Sites being that quick off the blocks. Then there's PTP, & the TV Channel, & whether some agree or not, the care that they show to players wishes, feedback & feelings is unique. When we go to Vegas, the players get looked after - proper looked after, unlike most sites. We don't do "Players Lounge", we do better. And there's SPT. And this, & that, &, most especially, the other.....

This Forum is another plus, & although the Moaning Minnies try to spread their negativity, it costs money to run, & I think the Players appreciate it.

I agree with you up to a point, but I think the Community Spirit here is a bit special & I think the spirit will be here for a goodly while yet.

Also, remember that only a small percentage of players on the site - a single digit % I would guess - use the Forum at all.

acebarry10 · January 2010

Hi tikay

I think the Players appreciate it, I have to say IMO we DO appreciate it

acebarry10 · January 2010

Hi tikay

I for one also appreciate the time, care and attention from the suits for the freerolls, the way they listen to the players and act on what we ask them (Sky Des, Rich, Dave and Bernie (If I missed anyone appologies, you know you are great anyway), the way the presenters and analysts deal with us rowdy lot, and interact with great effect either, by answering questions, (even when multi tabling, tikay;)) or just having a laugh (Rich Orford, Lisa-Marie, tikay, Trevor, er Ed (Just in case if you know what I mean lol) to name but a few, I bet there is no other poker site out there who are so helpful and so quick to help and yes this also does include the whole forum cos anyone is willing to help anyone, what more needs to be said?

P.S. tikay, are you doing a live one tonight, if you are good luck and could you tell us how you went pretty please?

mmad3104 · January 2010

Posted by danwill701

Hi dan

As for live, Im afraid I cannot tell you, tikay, or someone will answer that I am sure, as for on Sky Poker, abuse is not allowed on the tables, if you witness any abuse, or if someone is abusing you, please contact Customer Care, contact details are at the bottom of the page, you need the players alias, what table they are or were on and the time it helps speed thiings up.

Posted by legend50

Hi Richard

It depends on what position you were on the table (How many players before and after you to act, position is paramount), were any of them lose or tight?, how far into the game were you?, you have to ask yourself, what is beating you?, the answer is any pair AA right down to 22, any Ace Ak to A2, KQ, KJ, KT, that is 28 hands better than yours, suddenly it does not look so big

, dont call with it, use position and raise with it by all means, but listen to the answer you get from the other players by whether they call, or raise because if they do the alarm bells should ring for you, fold it, hope this makes sense

Good luck

played in snow ball came 3rd is it on tv only watched poker on sky would like a book thats shows playing by maths love to watch nice jumper t k

Hobbes16 · January 2010

Manners,

I know all is fair in love and poker but if someone gives you such a bad beat shouldn't they at least say 'unlucky' or something. I know if I go in with the worse hand (dominated i.e. under pair to a bigger pair) and I flop a set then I always say unlucky at the end (not that it happens very often because rather like you Tikay I only play KK and AA)

Perhaps I'm just too nice.

-ultimate- · January 2010

SPONSORSHIP!

I was just wondering, do sky poker sponsorship players? i.e so u wear their apparel at live tournaments, or how does it all work in the world of poker? (etc)
