Hi Tikay. I am new to Sky Poker, but have been playing for three years, last evening i was dealt Aces got an ace onthe flop and was beat by a full house. two hands later got A 2 3 45 and was beat by 2 3 4 5 6 couple of hands later was dealt Aces again, went all in and was beat by three tens, all in the space of an hour. what are the odds of this happening, see u at the tables.
i have sticked this one. lets all try and advertise this as a place for new and existing players alike to come and ask tikay any questions they may have.
right guys, i have sticked this one. lets all try and advertise this as a place for new and existing players alike to come and ask tikay any questions they may have. thanks, Rich Posted by Sky_Rich
Hi Rich
Firstly thank you for this, I know tikay isnt all that keen on it being a sticky, but obviously it is doing very well, and maybe even shows the need to have it as a seperate board too
As for adevertising it, hmmmmm, I wonder what I could do? lolololol.
OK lets start the ball rolling for the new stickie thread.
There is currently a thread running about players speaking a foreign language at the tables while playing online, now I know that the Mods are looking into this incident because the rules state that only English should be used at the Sky Poker tables but it got me to thinking. With so many international players and poker rooms all around the World is there a general rule in live games about what language should be spoken at the tables?
In a recent friendly game we came to a little bit of a situation, i would be grateful if you could clear it up for me, now what happend was there was 2 players left in the pot.
Early position raises All in, late postion calls, now the early postion mucks his cards. Now does the person in late position have to show his cards, or is the hand deemed over on account the early position player has mucked ?.
On the final betting round and everyone is all-in, the player who acts first is the first to show the hand. If there is betting on the final round then the last player has to take action by a bet or raise in the first to show the hand
Was up at 5am today - quite normal when I was working properly, late in fact, but when I was playing Live poker non-stop, I was rarely in bed by 5am! So, been at my desk since 7am this morning, have cleared a pile of stuff, e-Mails & whatnot, I'll clear the PM's now, & then I'll see if I can get this thread up to date.
Today England's 10 worst railway stations have been named and shamed in a report commissioned by the Department for transport.
Manchester Victoria received the lowest satisfaction rating, followed by Clapham Junction in south London, and Crewe in Cheshire, according to the Station Champions' report.
The others on the list are Barking, Stockport, Preston, Wigan North Western, Liverpool Central, Warrington Bank Quay and Luton.
Do you Agree with that list? if no why? which stations should be there?
Given that we have been trying to maintain the Tikay Check this out thread started by Lady Fingers on the front page, in the hope that Tikay would be kind enough to give us some further insight to all those who use to watch PNL, Tikay has asked that we transfer the questions etc to hear, so I will do my best of reproducing
Poisoned from the inside??? Posted by Hale72
Are you referring to the means by which PNL's demise came about?
Quite a story, that, though I'd have to omit some names if I told it!
Please confirm, & I'll comment, though it'll be tomorrow now, as I'm due in the Studio in 5 minutes.
np tikay, I was wondering if you may engage me in a little confirm/deny now that our beloved PNL cast of misfits are no more. For a brief while when nick persaud was presenting, they were running a $25/$50 on the gutshot skin, but the players played like ridiculously lag (50/40 etc) and going retarded spew on like really wet boards with air. There was alot of speculation the gutshot gave them money to mess around with, then got it back, so it was like play money effectively. Confirm or deny? Posted by LadyFingrs
Wow, what a perceptive & insightful question!
It's late, I'm very tired, & I need to word my reply "just so", so I'll answer that - such as I'm able - tomorrow.
I need to cogitate on how best to reply to that......
Wowzer, thats a corker of a question!
The bold text was Tikays original responses to the above posts from Hale and Lady Fingers, so now its over to you Tikay, I'm sure more than a few of us await with baited breath

Pretty much, yes.
Luton is just awful, but Manchester Vic & Crewe are harshly treated by the report, as they are both in areas of the UK where the punters tend to moan a lot. Nobody moans in the Wast Country, for example, because the Stations all have the standard GWR-Brunel stamp on them, whereas Manchester & Crewe are part of what was the quite dreadful LMS. Can't believe Clapham is on the list - it's wonderful. (Which is different to "modern").
I'd omit Crewe & Clapham, & add Birmingham New St twice - it's that bad. It has - wait for it - shops. I mean, that's just ridiculous. Who wants to window-shop when they can sit & look at Trains, & Locomotives?
Not that anybody ever comes here but if you did you'd have Sunderland station FTW. Posted by daveydavey
Absolutely dreadful Station - modern - but it gets excused, as it's the gateway to the wonderful Consett & Sunderland Railway Path, which, IIRC, used to fringe Stanley, to the west of C-l-S.

Hope this is what you wanted
Good morning.
A stickied thread? Wow!
I'll try not to disappoint.

Thank you Aski. The answers will not be THAT exciting!
I'll get as near the truth as I can without getting shot or sacked.
