this isnt Sean, but i do play (used to) at your thankfully unsuccessful poker site. ive decided to leave because your software is fixed and ive not been at all lucky on your casino.
that sounds like a random unhappy customer does it not? i think we know each other better than that by now anyway. the bad beats you've chosen, the hours on 20p a spin with no features....and in return i like to think that ive cost u more money than ive lost with u as a punishment for your site being sh?t AND fixed.
i hope ive succeeded in getting u wound up as a thankyou and returning tilt from where it was dealt and i wish u all the bad profitable luck in your future.
Remember u are going to hel for being at all biased in the first place wont u?!
love from Forby (random disatisfied not loyal customer)
hmmm, removing all my posts should tell u theres more than a lot of truth in my stories, 100% true. i have £47,000 accumulator bets and about £15's worth in total so why i would ask for my account closed is beyond me, what a little madam of a company skybet is ah?
In Response to Re: TIKAY TAKES ONE DOWN : Forget the money, forget the win. The Bragging Rights over Orford were all that mattered. And we are doing tomorrow night's Show together. You gonna hear some serious chirping....... Posted by Tikay10
OK- that's 1-1 as it stands.
Thing is, there's tonight's tourneys to go before tomorrow's show. And to kick things off I've signed up to tonight's inaugural 7pm Orfordable and then the 7.30 £400 D/S.
So as far as I'm concerned, the bragging rights go to whoever lasts longest in those.
As for who that will be, I'm not one for making bold statements but put it this way, I've just got my A Game down from the attic and I'm dusting it off as we speak...
tikay do you have more than 1 account because it says the winner tikay 1 and i thought you went under tikay10? Posted by thesaint07
Hi Saint,
I'll answer this at length, as I get asked this a lot, usually in the Chat-Box when I'm 2 or 3 Tabling, & it's almost impossible to explain it properly under those circumstances. I have answered the question several times previously, but it's a good question, because you make a good point.
It is utterly wrong to have Duplicate Accounts with the intent to gain advantage by masking the identity of an existing Alias.
But I have TWO Accounts.
How so?
First up, both have been unchanged since they were set up. Secondly, both are in my own name - one is "tikay1", & the other is "TIKAY10". So I'm not hiding behind any aiases, & players are never in any doubt it's "me". Getting a handle on your opponent is part & parcel of poker.
I originally set up my own Account as "tikay1". It's my "personal" Account, & I fund it myself, just the same as any other Sky Poker player.
The other Account (which I also use as my Forum Account) is "TIKAY10", is my "Play The Presenter" Account.
This was set up by Sky Poker last May, when I started Trialling PTP Nights, which eventully went Live a few months later, & I was fortunate to be one of those selected to be on the PTP Rota.
The PTP Accounts are funded by Sky Poker - they Deposited the Cash in the Account. I do not suffer any Losses on this Account, nor do I benefit from any profits. The money belongs to Sky Poker.
When we do PTP nights, the object is not to get all lairy & bust players (even if we could!), but to just chill with the Players, & answer questions about the Site. It's actually quite a tough gig, as the questions do come in thick & fast, so it's difficult to concentrate on playing serious Poker, & most of us don't really try to - that's not the point of PTP.
So my aim on PTP nights is just to maintain the Balance Sky Poker "gave me" 15 months ago, & thus far, that's the position. I've never needed it topped up, so that's perfect. (A point of some pride to all the PTP-ers actually).
In fact, these days, I play most nights on the Site, & 90% of the time it's on my Personal Account, "tikay1", but really, it's no different than a PTP Night for me. I still field all the Questions such as I am able, & I'm happy with that, as I am engaged by Sky Poker to carry out various services, which include being sort of "Ambassador", if you pardon the grand title.
Were I to set up a third account now, in a "secret" Alias, that would be wholly improper of course.
I hope that answers your question fully, & that others, who I know are curious about this, can see it's all squeaky clean.
well done tk your right about the downswings going through one right now ,just got keep plugging away.entered the freeroll for the deepstack semi thinking id got no chance but evereything seemed to hit and i won it(unbelieveably) and it carried on in to the cash games during the night,hope its turned the corner.

Halo Saint, (groan....)
Sorry for not replying sooner - I plum forgot about this, then suddenly woke up in the middle of last night & remembered it!
You would need to speak to Customer Care about this (0800 725 185) - I'm not sure what the answer is.
The essence, the spirit, of the Rules as to changing names is based upon the premis that it's wrong to Multi-Account, or, as in this case, mask your identity by creating a different alias. (It helps to "Know your opponent", as one guy put it).
In this case, the names are so alike - "thesaint07" & "the07saint" - that it's highhly unlikely anyone would even notice, & they would assume it's the same person. It's like "tikay1" & "TIKAY10" - everyone knows it's the same person, few even notice the difference, & I've been up-front about it.
It's all about "intent" really. If players do it with intent to deceive, it's deffo a no-no.
I guess you'd be best speaking to Customer Care.
As a matter of curiosity, why would you wish to go to all that trouble for such a small change?
Comments
When you're on a downswing to get sucked out on or get out drawn time after time you do get to wondering what you have to do to get a winner.

If yours is the mother and father of downswings mine must be up to the great grand mother and father!!!
Having to re load my account for 4th time (each time smaller amounts tho) so I can try out the Orfordable tonight. Seem rude not to as I requested it!
