I graciously resign from this challenge, unfortunately I'm going to be unable to complete it. You can always default my games as losses and leave me 4 wins /25 so at least can have the accolade of finishing last and people glancing at the leaderboards will think I'm **** terrible.

Where was Team Anti-Troll (Karen, Whizzy & mmmchips) last night when I most needed them? You'd have had SO much fun with a chap that joined us for a few games, quite a new player to Sky Poker.
First game, right out of the blue, he has a pop at me.
"Why so slow titkay?"
I say "ha, loving my new name" to which he responds "seems apt".
No more is said. I bust, as I did in the first 8 games I played. The bullets are flying, I'm laying low, trying to win Game 9 & register my first win of the session.
Later, he appears on a table which included all the regulars, including Eon.
First orbit has barely completed before our man pipes up.....
"...If you two try colluding, I'll report you."
There is silence. Everyone is trying to work it out. "I mean it, I'm watching you both"
Eventually, Pommy susses it.
Eon & I share the same "Field Address" - Ilkeston - though I don't live there now, I live 150 miles away, & I've never met Eon. "Yeah, so watch your step the pair of you, I don't like colluders & I'll report you. I mean it."
I manage my only comment of the game, "well, between us we have played 25,000 games on Sky Poker & nobody has ever suggested that before".
In a flash, he replies - "yeah, but they don't watch games like I do, I can sense collusion immediately".
There is total silence, you can sense everyone thinking "it's the e-numbers".
By now, word has spread to all my other tables, everyone is commenting on "tikay's new friend" & are now railing us.
No more is said, until Level 4.
"Yup, I'm still watching you two. The pair of you have not played a single hand together. Classic sign of colluding."
Not played a hand together by Level 4? As most might already know, by Level 4 I've rarely played ANY hand against anyone. Don't think I had played a hand in that game, either.
I don't bother when folks say that sort of nonsense. My game speaks for itself, & I reckon Eon & I bust each other more than any two other players in those games. We frequently get 4 handed, & are both ultra aggro at that stage. It usually ends in tears for one of us.
So it's fine, I'm genuinely not fussed.
But......
What sort of world do we live in where a complete stranger can make such accusations on such flimsy evidence. He had NEVER shared tables with Eon & I before, & within one orbit, (in which we both folded EVERY hand) he accuses us of colluding. Because we have an address in the same town. Along with 40,000 others.
Can you imagine him being a Member of the Jury when some poor so & so is up for Murder?
Yup, I know another bloke from his town, & he was a nasty piece of work. GUILTY.
The mind boggles.
Anyway, I ended up losing 19 of 30 - yup, I LOST 19 of 30 - & £36.90. At the same time, I was trying to reassure people who were exercised by a WG Twitter Freeroll thing, & then that poor chap who had his Kings cracked by Jacks. In a Freeroll.
Life's rich variety. Love it, love it to bits. But understand any of it? Not a bit.
See you guys tonight. I'm on a recovery mission. titkay has warned you.
Hahaha shame I missed it, could have done with a laugh last night.
There must be something in the water as playing a b.h and a player brags he's the sh** shoveler and destroyer or words to that effect but I remember the first word is true. I was down to 635 chips and I wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. He thought he smelled an easy target. Unfortunately for them that wasn't to be. I was patient and bided my time and a few du's later I was in the position to finally get his bounty. Have been on their table a few times and the story is always the same. Poor thing must be on permanent tilt.
I did enjoy having a dabble at it but I'm just going to be too busy away from the tables to complete it in time and don't want to sacrifice a night of tournaments to do so I'll probably play when the mood takes me.
Tikay watch out he's on to you, I'd lay low for a bit or try your cheating antics on another site for a while. Everybody knows you like to collude those £5.50 DYM's for megabucks. Just think about it, this chap must actively search the locations of every player on all the tables then analyse their play to see if they're colluding. Maybe if he spent more time concentrating on his own hands he wouldn't have been knocked out...

I think i know who your on about, I had the pleasure of playing this guy in a freeroll. He'd call all ins with any two cards just for the opportunity to copy and paste his message in chat. Actually had a chat with him and seemed like a nice enough guy. He actually gave me recommendations on my play style, telling me 'not to play my cards' and poker isn't about 'playing the board' and that I wasn't aggressive enough, that real poker was all about bluffing your opponents. He later busted bluffing all in with ace 9 on a KQT44 board or something like that.

Iwas playing in the ''titkaygate'' game,thought it was quite amusing for a while.I've been in 100's of games where usually a newbie starts.''I'ts fixed'' ''collusion'' ''donk'' etc. etc...Been trying for a while to distance myself from railing back,as it has 9/10 times affected my game and i find i'm £50 down,the newbie has walked off with 1st prize in a tourney and telling everybody wp all gg!
However in this case i didn't play the 2nd game, if i had he would have gotten my full rail backlash! I guess we all know how the plo8 game is 100% fair and the people who play it regularly know this.Iguess this villian will move on to the slots and harmony will once again descend.
On a good note tikay donked me in the last £11 pounder of the night..can i have a badge please?!!!!!!
Karen I know you said only enter if you can manage to complete the challenge, but I am afraid I have to withdraw, I just don't seem to get the time to finish the job, and also my br only really permits micro stakes and they just don't run fast enough when I am on.
Not very sure of my stats but think it is 10 played won 6, but could be wrong, doesn't really matter anyhow.

Wouldnt matter to Eon, even if you arranged to collude with him, he still couldn't bring himself to leave ya win a pot
Don't give it a seconds thought Kag, no worries. I really, really hope this lippy chap is playing today. What buy-in does he prefer? Will I notice him straight away? Posted by Macacgirl1
You know him already Karen, you will recognise him straight away. ;-)
I was very sad to see Jod getting some severe verbal bullying last night. The villain was not one who plays the PLO8 DYM's all the time, but he drops in some nights. In fact, I think he is a Prio player who earns his points in NLH HU games.
And he was giving Jod a right ear bashing, because of the way Jod plays.
Now Jod has his own way of playing. Technically, he is very bad, we all know that, but his style is really awkward to combat, & we need to adapt special tactics against him, & of course he can be infuriating when he limps every hand & turns up with nonsense & busts us.
Last night he was "hot", & was winning almost every game he played.
Thing is, it's his money, & he can play how he likes, & I don't think "senior" players should be dissing him so aggressively at the table. Yes, he frustrates us a lot, but that's no reason to abuse him at the table.

I was a little disturbed by this post...I detest bullying in all forms...however i have been on the receiving end of the jodster for 3 straight days now,as most will know i play the game generally in what some would say the correct way.After going in with a dominating hand 20+ times and equally being called with hands only karen would consider, i find i am losing 90% of the time.not even a split/chopped pot to soften the blow.As a very good mathmatics genius friend of mine tells me in the long term this will even out..bunkem!!! i have played the great maca for 2 years now and rarely win a hand however strong i am. I must say again i love banter and give and take it to whatever level fellow railer rises to.Tikay is a better man than me even congratulating jod on his performance..I shall plod on probably go down a grade or 2 regroup and return to the higher levels to commence battle once more.
On a lighter note i played a £2.25 dym at 4.30am..3 players away!! Only just cashed as one player wanted all the chips..i hope Sky sends him a cigar!!
