Hi and welcome, and Good Luck! I don't understand, whats wrong with KELDEL? Here's an interesting why to get to know the name that hides a player, and please add yours to this list. Whats your poker name and why? Posted by SolidStan1
Nothing is wrong with KELDEL - it was the original name that was not appropriate. CS "forcibly" changed it, as it was non-compliant & had received a lot of complaints - to KELDEL - & then the Member requested it be changed to RickyVillla.
Everything's cool, & now, as Ricky suggests, he can enjoy himself here & play some poker.
In Response to Re: Hi all : or not! thanks for advice got onto cs and they changed it to something i wanted. First impressions of sky poker - very good. Posted by RickyVilla
Welcome!
We have a nice varied range of Tourneys here - what do you prefer - fast-paced, medium, or slow, structures?
When you answer that, we'll steer you towards some Tourneys which I hope will suit you.

Tbh i prefer the slower structures mainly when i'm kicking back chilling of an evening. Wouldn't want to play anything faster than the open to start with i don't think.

Well if you want something nice & slow, & to just sit & chill with, here's my suggestion, but it depends on your buy-in Range.
At 7pm tonight, they have a very slow Tourney, called this week (because it's named after the previous week's winner) "McRatMan Deepstack". (Imagine it being called after your original name......!). It's £5 + £0.50 to enter, has 5,000 chips & a 12 minute clock. Tonight's will get not far short of 100 runners, & the Chat-Box heaves all night with good-natured Railers.
Alternatively, at 15 minutes past every hour, there's a Deepstack, same structure, these are usually £2 + £0.20 up to £5 + £0.50. The 8.15 renewasl gets 30 or 40 runners I think.
Or, at 7.30pm every night, there's a £20 + £2 Deepstack (same structure), which is £400 guaranteed, & generally attracts about 30 to 40 runners.
I'll be playing most of these tonight, as I'm on PTP Duty. (Last minute change)

Sounds perfect Tikay all very affordable except the £22 deepstack. I think i will partake in some of those as long as smoking and sucking boiled sweets is permitted!
Hi Everyone. I watch the show with out fail everynight love the analysts and presenters apart form Ed ( Sorry Ed ). Am now in a position to be able to play regularly on the site and look forward to doing so i only play for fun and entertainment and the sky community, judging by the show is excellent. Any advice for a new player? Posted by RickyVilla

Hi Ricky, well smoking is defo allowed, but as for the boiled sweets, only if you offer them round welcome to Sky Poker and our little community.
LOL They made me change mine after 2 months when I cashed in the open!! it was bumstench! not as bad as yours but created under the same circumstances. Give customer services a ring!! As flash says stick to what you can afford and play mostly tight but throw in a few curve balls every now and then to keep area 51 going ;-) Buy a few books (recommend Phil Gordon or Dan Harrington) and most importantly; listen to TK he is a LEGEND! To TIKAY, how about you writing a book? Posted by SpongeDoug
My oh my, I'd love to, & it'd be fascinating, as I've led such an interesting life, you would not believe.
Trouble is, it's only me that would find it interesting. Would the Great British Public really be interested in my days of operating High Pressure Drain Jetting Machines, (no) starting up the UK's first DIY Centre, (no) fitting out supermarkets, (no)getting arrested twice in one night in Ilkeston, (no) or once in Moscow, (yes) being thrown off my Table in the WSOP for swearing (it was called "The F-Bomb Rule"!), (yes) Property maintenance, (no) maintaining a Capability Brown Lansdscaped Country House, (no) building a PFI Police Station (no), or how I lost £182,500 overnight? (yes)
As you can see, some bits, yes, but it's the boring bits in between that are the problem.

LOL
Well I for one would love to read it. If some of these so called celebs can write an autobiography at age 23 then I don't see why you at, what 72!! can't write one. You could double it up as a poker tips handbook.
After all with the new found popularity of the deepstacks we could all do with something to read between hands in the first 3 hours of play !!
GO ON TK do it you've nowt to lose!
(btw I found that bribing the Moscow police with $10 was enough to make them turn a blind eye. but that was 18 years ago)
Well RickyVila, my tip on how you can improve is to listen to Ed.
You probably dont like him because much his advice/analysis is mathematical based more than the others, but these are the things you need to know/consider if you want to become an advanced player.

I look stupid now!
I still dont know what was wrong tho.
Dont forget, tell us your poker name and why you choose it.
Everything's cool, & now, as Ricky suggests, he can enjoy himself here & play some poker.
Nothing to see here......

Bear with me.
