In Response to Re: SKY POKER TEAM! : it's not about the 200 quid. can you not read properly? Posted by JakeDixon7
I can, But hes not gonna be a bad player to play at £1, £2 is he? if you just looked at the ammont of tables he was playing you would know he was good.
Some advice for you Jake (take it or leave it, your choice)
You are obv smarting a bit after losing. This is a trait in most of us. Try to learn from your mistakes, and do some research before sitting at a table H/U with an 'unknown' opponent. There are various ways you can do this. Checking the poker league/watching 865/sharkscope etc.
I hope you stay and enjoy Sky Poker and run well in future.
It's very well publicised who is in Team Sky Poker, there are numerous threads dedicated to Team Sky Poker etc. You don't have to be a pro to be a member of Team Sky Poker, you just have to finish top 6 in a 90 runner tournament so why should they be identified as something special?
If the link works above you will see Gliterbabe is no secret on Sky Poker.
I look at this completely the opposite way to Jake, IMO me one of the joys of poker is that a recreational player can end up playing a game against pro.
For example, if you play for your local pubs Sunday league footie team there's absolutely no way you're ever going to end up playing a match against a Premier League player. If you enjoy playing recreational chess there's no way you're ever going to get a match a grandmaster. But in poker, especially online poker, that really can happen.
One of my greatest poker experiences was winning a seat worth $320 in a tournament with a big guarantee on another site. I was fortunate enough to play for nearly 3 hours with some well know online stars, many of whom I've seen on TV, and instructors from the worlds top online training sites. In what other game or sport might that happen?
When we play poker, Live OR Online, we have no ideas, or control, who shares the table with us, & nobody is forced to say who they are. That's just how poker is, & always has been.
If you play on Sky Poker, you might share a Table with a recreational player, a Team Sky Poker Member, a TV Presenter, an EPT winner, or a GUKPT winner. Sky Poker regulars include all of those people. I can, for example, think of several EPT winners who play on Sky Poker.
If you play £1 £2 Omaha here, it's "very probable" that the player knows what he is doing.
It's just how poker works, Jake. Everyone in Online poker uses an alias, & nobody is forced to declare their ability or past record.
Ya having a big shiny Avatar that says 'im a winning pro' is a great way to attract recreational players to play you. Great strat IMO. Get on it Sky...
I would however like to commend you on the use of 'Disgusted' as your valediction (The bit in a letter just before your signature).
The last time I saw that used to such strong effect was in 1986 in an episode of 'Points Of View'. That was relating to Bobby Ewing coming back from the dead in Dallas but I see a similarity in the upset it must of caused and understand the need for its use.
