MereDonkey is 100% correct.
If you think about it, I share my time here as a Player, & a sort of odd-job man for Sky Poker. So it would be wholly improper if I were able to see other Players Hand-Histories. The Conspiracy Theorists & "usual suspects" would have a field day. And quite right too, as they'd be right, for once.
I get a lot of questions, both on this Thread, & via PM, asking me to look at Hand-Histories. I hate saying "I can't" to anyone, but I can't.
Sorry.
If you do as Mere suggests, & Post the hand details, you'll get plenty of responses, & I'll chime in with my usual nonsense, too.
Both hands are difficult to get away from (The Kings full to quads is impossible i think) but the later hand it depends, Did you have pocket kings and let A 9 in cheap? if so then that maybe could have been taken care of pre-flop
1,000 Posts on this thread, wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
I'm slightly embarrassed that I'm a few days behind with the replies (& a week or more behind with PM's), but please keep the questions coming.
Big thanks, too, to all those who help out with the "standard" answers. It's much appreciated.
Here's to the next 1,000 Posts.

Clause 27c;- NO WHINGE BUCKETS. All Whinge Buckets will be shot. Slowly.
Where was I on Sunday?
There was a Station Cat who had his own ''cat fund'' collection dish in the Waiting Room.
There were 2 Steam Engines and a small diesel engine for the kiddies (and me as it happens)
They have a great range of old time signalling equipment and memorabilia on show.
The booking office and waiting rooms are all pre-Beecham and beautifully restored.
It's about 2 hours from where I live (due south'ish).
It's right next door to a modern working railway station.
We all had a great day there including the KIDDS.
hi tikay
i hit quad sevens off the flop got all the chips in against full house tens over sevens and he rivered the case ten for higher quads can you tell me the odds of that occuring plz. I'm also going to be a phone guest on the sunday night primo on the 7th of feb any tips on nerves or can you fix me to get aces every four hands
cheers
What do you think of a land based cash game featuring SkyPoker players? The hole cards could be exposed to card-cams and the play analysed by SkyPoker presenters and analysts, including yourself, and then shown on the skypoker channel. It would be great viewing to watch some of the well known faces on the SkyPoker tables battle it out against each other. The format I would suggest would be a £2.50/5/ game with a £1 ante and no maximum buy-in.

Ok that's a fair point mate. Well I't doesn't have to be set in stone. It could vary or there could be multiple stakes. I just think a televised skypoker cash game would be good to watch and good for the community. I'd like to see it happen.

That's a very wide question indeed!
But briefly, if you have not played in a "proper" (Licensed) Venue before.......
1) All Tables will be Dealer-dealt. The Dealer is in charge. If you disagree with something a Dealer does, just say "can I have a Ruling, please?" & the Floor-Man will come over & sort it out.
2) NEVER act out of turn, even if you are the Button, & you intend to Pass - do NOT act untul it's your turn to act. Ever. By doing so, you are disadvantaging or giving advantage to other players unfairly.
3) Do NOT - EVER - touch the chips "in the pot, or middle". They are not yours, even if you have won the hand. The Dealer will push them to you - that's THEIR job.
4) Do not mess around asking other players for "change" if you only have large denom chips, it just delays the game & wastes other people's time. If it's 200 to Call, & you only have a 500 chip, place the 500 chip across the line, the Dealer will sort it out. You will get your change before the Pot is awarded to the winner.
5) If you wish to Bet, or Raise, (which are TOTALLY different things), make eye-contact with the Dealer & tell them what you plan to do BEFORE putting your chips in the middle. That avoids misunderstandings. Many players struggle to see the difference between....
I raise 1,000.
I raise to 1,000
I make it 1,000 to go.
ALL of which are different things. So just say what you want to do BEFORE you act.
6) Protect your hole cards by placing a card-marker, or your (real) hands on your cards AT ALL TIMES. If you do not do his, the Dealer may well accidentally "muck" your hand. And if they do, you have no redress - it's YOUR FAULT.
7) Live Poker is the greatest fun you can have with your clothes on if your table is "sociable", & most SPT Tables are. Say Hi to the Dealer, & to your Table companions when you first sit down. It makes a huge difference.
8) If the Dealer is a well-constructed & nubile female, try not to ogle her. This has caused me some difficlties in the past.
9) Before the Event starts, there will be some "fun" Master Classes run by the Sky Poker Presenters to help you get used to Live Poker ettiquette. Come & see me when you arrive, & I'll sort one out for you. I promise.
10) The rudeness & abuse you sometimes see Online will not happen Live. The brain-dead bad losers are not quite so brave face to face.....
11) Remember you will NOT be admitted to Luton G-Casino if you are wearing TRAINERS or SPORTS APPAREL. Them's the Rules, & G-Luton impose them strictly on EVERYONE.
Congrats on qualifying - you will have a BALL.
Only you. or the other people involved in the hand, can look at the hand history.
Tikay doesn't have any special privileges that allow him to look at them.
You will need to post the hand yourself if you wish people to see it.
My friend who plays on here on a regular basis (general1) has been self excluded for 5years by friends, this was soppose to be a prank while he was using the loo.. LOL. He has tried to make an appeal but sky say that there is no way to prove that this was done by friends and not by himself. Can you please explain if there is any other possibilties which he can make another appeal. If sky has a look at his track record they can find out for themself that he isnt a player that would self exclude himself. the most that the general lost in the last year alone is £600! surely sky has to take this into account?
Ouch, that's nasty.
OK.
1) I cannot help, & I'd get in a heap of grief if I tried to.
2) He must engage with Customer Care, & explain the circumstances.
If I were a betting man, I'd say he was a VERY long shot to get the Self-Excluude lifted.
Sky Poker take these sort of things, & their responsibilities to Responsible Gambling, extremely seriously. At the bottom of this & every page, there is a Link to GamCare & "Gambling Therapy", for example.
There is a lot nonsense directed at Sky Poker as to their integrity, but be assured, Sky Poker are THE most compliant organisation you will ever encounter, EVERYTHING has to be legally "just so". I don't get to see who is & who is not self-excluded, but I personally know quite a few who are. And I don't know of a single instance where a Self-Exclude has been overturned before it has run it's time.
Your mate's pals have a lot to answer for. Luckily, I don't have "friends" like that.
Sorry, I can't help, but he must go via the correct channels.
Err, it was Orford's idea.
Big thx for that Tikay (gr8 reply) - I don't know where you get "i,m a sound player" from but cheers - Ive printed that off and will look you up when i get there - -Thx to Mr mbro as well and yes I will come early and introduce myself - Thanks again for settling a few nerves there . Bring on March 6th. Really looking forward to the whole experience and meeting some of you lot who I watch all the time on ch 865.
Ps Ive made a note of number 8 (ogling theh dealer) , but its not the dealer i,m worried about or this secret glamour model. How are you you supposed to concentrate if lisa Marie's there - (I,ll have to gety over this crush -its not healthy)
Thx again
Any idea what stakes will be covered on the show tomorrow?
Cheers,
Wilhelm
No, I'm afraid I don't yet. When I see Posh Bird 'Ling tomorrow, just after midday, I'll ask her, & post up the answer.
There are SOME benefits to ogling the Dealer, it must be said. You get better cards, deffo. But you are so busy drooling, you struggle with your hands.
I'll be there from midday onwards (& probably the Friday evening, too), but I have to disappear mid-afternoon & get across to the Sky Poker Studios to do the Final Episode of Total Player. Then, when it's done, I'll be shooting straight back to Luton, & bringing Orford-Donk with me. He's the SNG Valoooooooo.
See you there.
when does the tk vs start again? and is there any other comunity stuff to enter/join ?
m struggling finding info on all these tornys n stuff i keep hearing about them on the tv?
its doin my head in help??????????????????????????????
1) The Luton SPT Live Tourney is sold out I'm afraid. After Luton, we go to Glasgow, & Satellites for that will be plentiful & daily on Sky Poker.
2) If you mean the next TKO, I don't know really, but if they do one, it will be in late Feb or early March I guess. Keep an eye on your incoming e-Mails from Sky Poker.
3) The best way to keep in touch is to peruse the Forum every day. If it's on Sky Poker, it'll be on the Forum somewhere. If not ask, the Forum is chock-full of mostly friendly folks, always ready to help.
