In Response to Re: People continuously sitting 'AWAY' in Tournaments : LMAO poor guy, your obv correct but still Poor guy If it makes him feel any better he should know that we have all at some point wished we said nothing. Peter Posted by NODEAL
You may have a point there, Peter, & I need to think about that.
I think it (my response) boils down to 2 things.
1) We see that line - "SKY POKER SORT IT OUT" again & again. It never occurs to the authors to wonder if, in fact, Sky Poker have done anything wrong, or improper, nor does it occur to them to look in the mirror.
2) He's allowed to refer to myself, & players like me, as "idiots". He - & believe me, many many others - want to suggest Sky Poker need to "SORT IT OUT", & they can refer to me as an idiot, or question my honesty & integrity, but I don't have the right to reply, even if it's done politely? How's that work, then?
You may not agree, but it's an interesting spot, eh? Customer Cooey-Wooey is my thing, believe me, I'm good at it, too, but I'm not sure it's right that peeps can lob insults at me all day & night, & I am not allowed to reply!
In Response to Re: People continuously sitting 'AWAY' in Tournaments : And one of the 'No' votes is in error because I misread so chose the wrong option . DOH! Posted by NoseyBonk
+1. I should learn to read things more carefully.....
Anyway, gotta go 'cos the President of Nigeria wants my bank details for someting or other. Twenty million quid just for my bank details, can't go wrong!!!!!!

On the contrary tikay, Maybe you read too much into my sympathy for this guy, To be honest, I feel embarressed for him, I totally agree with everything that you said above. your reply to him was refreshingly non corporate and was obviously how you felt. Iam sure that is the reason you are the most popular presenter on sky.
What I said wasnt a dig at you, just plain old fashiond pity for him
Im normally sat out cause computer has frozen ! Posted by PUCPOUND
This is a very common reason for sit outs
I have been in a tournament on another site which was a HU knockout and 2 people who were sitting out got drawn against each other - that took a long time to end
For anyone that wonders (and can't work it out logically) what happens is that the big blind always wins the small blind - eventually the small blind becomes larger than the stack so both players go all in; after that it ends pretty quickly.
''PPPS - The Voting says it all! The most one-sided Vote ever on Sky Community?''
You must be forgetting that 'who is the luckiest player on Sky Poker? ' poll. I think Philluckbox got 110 % (roughly) of the votes polled in that one!!
Personally i like playing on a table where people are sat out.. They give me free chips and make it an easier game to play when your 4 or 5 handed so i have no idea what this guys problem is.
Im tired of seeing people complaining about this site, of course its not perfect and probably never will be but progress is being made to really cater for our needs and people need to realise this.
If you don't like it DONT PLAY ON THE SITE. Go and moan somewhere else, people like tikay put a **** of a lot of work into making sky poker a better place and people like show a complete lack of respect. Maybe you should be thanking tikay, you probably wouldnt be playing in half your tournaments if it wasnt for him.
Think about what your saying before you speak, next time just save yourself the embarassment...

To be fair unsless a post was removed he didnt personaly attack tikay, he just posted a bad post, lol if this was in biblical times the guy would be getting s toned now.... not in the good way mind.
my fav tournie starts 7.15 so reg, but i have to pick wife up from work at 7pm home by 7.30pm get onto table and find out i`v been kicked off because i sat out to long mmmm??
edit i sat out off the tournie once not because i was not home i had connection probs
Sporny, Next time you have to pick the wife up, get a cab rather than dragging her by the hair all the way home. It would cut your journey time in half and you wont miss any of the tourney, just a thought mate Regards Mick.
