This is fantastic, a proper fairytale poker story. Love it when people at the micros get into the big ones and more than hold there own. Long may this continue, gl gl
In Response to Re: Good luck stokefc : wow where else would a newbie live poker player get introduced to the likes of Lord Neil Channing. says something about sky and about Stokefc skypoker/tikay/stokefc FTW Posted by GELDY
That's what I love about poker. In what other sport/hobbie could you play against top level pros? Go stokey and all other sky regs
In Response to Re: Good luck stokefc : I am afraid your captain is busto. Stokey has been on his one hour dinner break, and has just resumed play. Blinds are 500-1,000/100, and I think he has around 45,000. I so want him to make day two. "Bagging up" in Live poker at the end of day one is the greatest. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks Tikay, although not exactly the news I wanted
Down to about 18,000, Stokey went for a flip, his 5-5 v A-Q. The board ran out Q-8-4-Q-6. So that was that. He was card dead all day, but even so, I think he had a great time. Posted by Tikay10
Fine effort for a debut live game. Well done Stoke.And thank you Tikay for updating us.
Add Post. Logged out. Silly me. I'll just do that again......
Well done, Sean. Hope you had an experience to remember. I haven't plucked up the courage to try live yet - too scared of messing up and not being able to do the maths in my pickled brain! Online makes it too easy. Need to get over that.
Thanks Tikay for sending us pics and updates along the way.
what can i say,simply amazing,i arrived at 11.30 with the wife me bro and his lady stood at the door for about 5 mins just taking it all in spotted Tikay talking to some grumpy guy at the merchandise counter he walked past me i didn't,t dare say owt(was abit nervous tbh)
next thing i know im sat down with a bunch of chips the lad to my right had a sky poker badge sewn into his shirt i thought oh dear and it proved as he was raising nearly every pot in any position i re-raised him a couple of time to try and stop him nicking my blinds,it worked when he folded but it didn't stop him raising the next hand, top player very aggro his name is Alves.
Spotted Tikay laughing and joking with other players he walked past this time i introduced myself wow he was actually looking for me i was speechless.
the 1st break came went out for a ciggie when Tikay came out with Jen mason he introduced her, i mean cmon, then he introduce me to Tommyd lambert and mattbates had abit of banter then as i was going back in a lad spotted me badge it was MAXALLY,Al you were great m8 putting my mind at ease.
sat back down,pretty card dead tried to keep me stack won a couple of pots the another break this time Tikay grabs me and say i want you to meet a couple of his friends,this is Willie Tann and this is Neil Channing i nearly fell over had a small chat, neil thought i played for Stoke then Tikay introduced me to Poshcole,spent some time with posh(steve) thoroughly decent guy
moved tables had 30 bigs been card dead got to level 8 20 bigs shove time waiting for a spot 55 allin, call aq,queen on flop,out,i didn't,t mind, looking at the play it was so aggressive i didn't,t see one unraised pot pre flop and that was the difference from what used too.
Tikay,you sir were simply awesome made me feel like a king really made my day giving me encouragement at every opportunity,you really are Mr Poker and the the whole scene wouldn't,t be the same without you,thank you with all my heart

You would of loved the SnG I sorted out late last night.....The management gave me a table...(rake free, sssshhh) and a dealer! I was a couple of players short.....so I asked Sam Trickett if he wanted a game just after he bubbled!! Top man said yes.....even brought a round after!

Your Captain looks a bit "iffy" though
