In Response to Re: Tikay - Poker Strategy : I will volunteer to write a guide to DYMs if anyone is interested. Well, I have been intending to write one for myself anyway and I will happily present it to Sky to see if it can be used. Also, IRISHROVER's great guide was presented as a blog, I think, although I cannot find it right now. Posted by JohnConnor
Thank you John.
Write it, let me know when it is done, & I will EITHER.....
1) Get a Blog page set up for you, & you can Post it yourself.
2) Post it on my Blog Page (credited to you, of course) & then I will publish it. This MIGHT work better, as I can promote it heavily via my Twitter & FB pages, & on the Channel.
In Response to Re: Tikay - Poker Strategy : Yes it has in a positive way. And that is the reason I do/did it. Why do teachers assign pupils homework? Why do students sit through lectures and take pages and pages of notes? (even I did this at uni in the 13% of lectures I attended Why is coursework used to grade students throughout education? ---------------------------- It's 1 thing reading, watching, and listening, but writing your thoughts down is always gonna be the best way to learn, and re-enforce the learning. Even whilst I was writing the nl4 dummies guide to cash poker, my thought processes about what is right and what isn't was becoming clearer in my own mind. I wrote stuff that was tosh, and had to think again and re-write it. There were several flaws in what I was writing, and more importantly what I was instiinctively thinking. ----------------------------- I'm certain that I got more out of writing that strategy guide/article than any player that has read it since it's been published. Even though I play 5/6 levels higher. And I'm sure if I went back now and re-wrote it, I would think differently again. I'd encourage anyone who wants to improve at poker (from a poor/avg player to a winning competent 1) to spend as much time writing about/discussing poker as possible. -------------------------------- I don't have 10k forum posts for nothing you know!!!!!

If there were a prize for Post of the Year, that just won it.

Just give me 24 hours to think on this, guys, but I might just be able to set up a Forum Competition, with some nice prizes, for best.....
1) MTT Strategy article/Post
2) STT Strategy article/Post
3) Cash Game Strategy article/Post
Let me chat with the Suits in the morning & see their reaction - I think "education" & "self-help" is so important, & Ch 865 have been working hard towards exactly that recently, too.
In Response to Re: Tikay - Poker Strategy : If I wasn't such a tourny donkey I would. I'm the one that needs help this time! Tonnes of players I think are worse than myself have much better tourny records than me.... So c'mon, HOW !!!!!????????????? Posted by DOHHHHHHH

Sigh even i may end up writing something then, hopefully with paragraphs and grammar
In Response to Re: Tikay - Poker Strategy : Will do Tikay, thank you. Posted by JohnConnor
Thanks John.
I will PM you my e-Mail addy right away.
Unless you prefer otherwise, I'll put it on my Sky Poker Blog (amusingly & embarrassingly named "The Official Sky Poker Blog", lol!), & credit it to you. That way, we can make more noise about it.

Thanks Tikay, received that. Putting it on your page will be great, thak you.
Very well put Tikay in regards to Doh's guides not harming his cash profits, that was also my arguement.
I agree that I'm sure any of these 3 people would be more than capable of writing a basic guide on their own disciplines. I suppose it's a case of which of them actually wants to do it. Also, I don't know any of these personally, so don't really know their background but I think it would be useful if the person who did it had played at the low levels in the past as I imagine that style of play differs somewhat between a 30p DYM and a £50 DYM. So someone with experience of low levels is best because these are the levels beginners will be playing.
If none of them are up for it, then I'm sure you could manage it Tikay. I don't think we need to cover the 5-betting kids really because it's more advanced and will be too much for a beginner because they probably won't know when to use it etc.
I heard someone say something along the lines of being able to get away with folding everything except AA/KK/QQ in micro DYMs, maybe one or two blind steals from the button and there you are, you've cashed...
Either way, just thought it would be a nice addition to the Poker School seen as we've got other disciplines covered...
In Response to Re: Tikay - Poker Strategy : Yes, & it was excellent, perfectly fit for purpose. That's no reason not to view more thoughts from others, & indeed another one from the Great Irishman himself, imo. Posted by Tikay10
off course not you can`t just learn off one or you`ll just go plodding along, but too get others veiw can only enhance you`re own game, and give differant aspects to your own game. ie you`v been playing one way for a while then read a blog which changes your game and those note oppo have got on you are out the window.

I think this is a great idea. DOHx7's NL4 post was a cracking read and I am sure it's helped a number of players already.
The list of players Tikay mentioned for the MTT/STT would be great, and if they're willing to put together an article we can do our best to accomodate it on the site. Tony is spot on when he says that Sky Poker are very big on the idea of educating and supporting our poker players and it honestly works. There's no way Orford would have won the sidey in Leeds if it weren't for his advice, etc.
I am sure Tikay will come up with a neat little twist on this to make it a fun thing to do so let's see what he comes up with
For those of you with a suicide wish, and spare time, I have written a couple of MTT and DYM guides in the blog section. They do ramble a bit, but there's the odd useful bit of information knocking around amongst the dross.
My next guide will be how not to bubble in a big tournament with the monster that is 33. watch this space.
