edited December 2009 in Poker Chat
     Tonight's live TV show launched Skypoker into a new dimension. I have  to admit I have been one of the chief critic's of all the cloak and dagger stuff that has been going on these last few months,  however it now seems its been well worth waiting for !! 
 Not only for the lucky players who get a shot at taking part  but also the fabulous prizes being offered by SkyPoker.
  A big well done to Tony and Richard and all who have  been involved in the setting up of this promotion, and good luck to all who become involved.  
 I for one am looking forward to the forthcoming shows and how this story will evolve. I believe it will create a new and exciting beginning  to the new year ahead for all players at SkyPoker ..
 
Good luck to all who get involved and this could be a chance for  someone to ......
 dream the dream !

    Thanks Benny.

    I'm not sure about "cloak & dagger", it's not always wise to shout & holler from the rooftops about whats in the pipeline, as you can get hoist by your own petard.

    And we are not finished yet, by any means - if you thought tonight was good, you are in for an even bigger surprise, & sooner than you think. And behind that, another. And then another.

    I won't be saying more, but it's all happening here at Sky Poker right now, & that was just a start.

    Gestation periods for some things are quite extended, but you would not believe how much is going on behind the scenes to make this place better.

    It's a big weekend for Sky Poker and we appreciate your positive comments.  

    We've had the launch of Total Player and on Monday we launch a new website with a slicker poker lobby.  Oh yes, and the little Christmas present that is Oma..ho..ho..ho...

    We're always extremely nervous about rolling a lot of new developments into the live environment, so bear with us on Monday if we experience a few hiccups.  When everything is bedded down, we believe you'll enjoy the changes.

    This sounds great.

    TK - Do you recommend reading Super System (the Omaha chapter)? Not read that part yet, don't want to dive into Omaha without some basics in my head.

    I'll be Posting some "Omaha for Beginners" stuff today or tomorrow for those that have never played the game. Best to get the hang of the game imo before moving onto "proper" tuition & strategy.

    Omaha 101:

    1. You get 4 down cards and 5 community cards. You MUST use 2 of your down cards and 3 of the community cards ONLY.

    That's probably the most important part. You'd be surprised how many times people misread their hands, even in big-money games.

    Des, Tikay and all the rest of u at Sky Poker.  You guys are the most proactive of sites in listening to the players and constantly trying to please the masses!

    It may not be said much, but I think I am speaking for the majority on here when I say thank you for the fab developments and constant improvements on here.

    Therefore having 3 or 4 of a kind in your hand is worthless? and it is more of a drawing game? Correct interpretation? 

    TK - looking forward to the basics.

    Would it be fair to say there is more action in Omaha?

    It is definitely a drawing game. There is a famous hand where there is a player who holds the absolute nuts on the turn of a 6 way hand (top set on a K-10-5-4 board or something like that) but because of all the draws out there, he has exactly 0% chance of winning the hand.

    3 or 4 of a kind should be treated as having 7-2.

    I am going to swerve that Question Glum, as I think it' best for all of us to confine the discussions to the "Omaha for Beginners" Stuff which I'm goinng to Post. I've written most of it already, in readiness for the big day, so it'll go up in good time.

    Spooky!

    By a strange coincidence, I Posted that VERY hand in a Diary I write on another site just a few days ago!

    And yes - it was 6 handed, the geezer had the stone cold nuts on the Turn - but there was not a single safe River card in the pack for his hand to "hold", & he lost.

    An amazing hand.

    It was your diary that I saw that famous hand! Do you mind if I recreate that post over here, so I can explain it in more detail?
