when youre presenting sky poker what do you look at to see the players cards, because as a viewer i see floating cards infront of you, but obviously this isnt what you see, so how does that work?

Recently I have lost 3 big pots, was I unlucky or did I play poorly?
I had suited cards pre-flop and are in good positions. After the flops I have 4 to the flush. Every time whether I raise or check the other player goes all in. I call and have lost every time.
Should I put these down, or have I just been unlucky? What is the % chance before the turn and river?

It's difficult to know whether you played poorly or badly without knowing the precise hands and stack sizes. For example, if you flopped four to the flush with two overcards to the board, you are generally in a much stronger position than if your cards are 23 suited.
What I can tell you is that, if you hold four to the flush, you have a 35% chance of making your flush after the flop and a 20% chance of making your flush after the turn.
I have qualified for two tournaments tomorrow one at 5.45pm for $200,000 and one at 8.00pm for $600,000 can anyone give me advice on how to multi table and concentrate on both tournaments.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi Speedboat, Guarantees & POrize Pools are lower at present due to the World Cup, & the fine weather, Online Poker is very seasonal. Players are not "leaving the site", UPD & general traffic, measured over a 12 month period (the figures are distorted if measured in lesser periods) show double digit year-on-year growth. I'm not sure what you mean by "entry fees remain the same". A £10 Tourney will always be a £10 Tourney, irrespective of traffic levels. Posted by Tikay10
This is the same on most of the other sites except Full Tilt and and Pokerstars .
hi tikay firstly im not complaining about hands because people chase but heres one ive just had kk first hand in tonights 2.5k 8pm and run into aa ive only played around 4 games overall tonight but had it again on another well known site admitted it was a 10 seater the odds on having kk and running into aa are massive to start but twice in around 4 games is silly odds i had a run for around three weeks on here doing really well best probably 3rd in £1500 b/h wed 5th next night and won it on the third night (there was luck involved) but the last week or so no matter wether i get my chips in good its the other way not just this site on others is this the norm many thanks roy Posted by w4rlock
If you are going to go out of a tournament then its probable that you have the best hand going in pre flop but your opponent has you dominated by the size of thier chipstack and feel the call is worth it. Yes this happens often on all sites or at least its happened to me often enough anyway. Now I try getting more aggresive earlier so that I dont need to go all in until really late on in a tournament which is quite handy when there are more than 1000 runners.
What time roughly will the 7pm £55 sunday deepstack reach final table then finish?

I watched the full final table of this last night Dave - was a great performance from start to finish, ran over the table, kept your head when you took a few hits, and survived a mickjenn hero comeback at the end!
The call with the ace king on the board of 3 diamonds facing a mickjenn shove, was v brave and super tough, although u had top pair top kicker HU - mick shows the nuts so often there, Ive fell for it many times myself, was a call worthy of the win!
I wish I enjoyed playing poker as much as I enjoy watching and talking about it all the time - was a cracking half hours entertainment - top win.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Yes, I understand that JPW, but things are never quite that simple. Stocking branded apparel is fraught with problems. Shirts come in different sizes, so adequate quantities of each are required, plus a margin for erior. Suppliers will not supply us on Sale or Return, so that's a risk that has to be stood. Multiply that problem when you think that shirts can be either t-shirt or polo, so that doubles the first problem. Da de da. When Sky Poker change their Logo, as they do from time to time, the "old" stock is worthless. But more than anything, it's a volume based business, & it takes a huge turnover to pay for the administration & staff of organising the sale, posting, etc. It can be sub-contracted to a third party, but they charge a fortune, which then has to be passed on, & of course doing it that way means control of quality & such like is outwith Sky Poker's control. In my other Online Cardroom business, we tried this. It was a nightmare. So it will come, in time, as the site grows, for sure, but although I don't know this officially, I imagine it will be a while yet. Come to a SPT though - they give away loads of branded merchandise at most of them. And channel 865 give away loads of it, as free prizes for e-Mails & suchlike. Selling is good, giving is better! Good question, though. Posted by Tikay10
Hi Tikay,
Thanks for your answer Tikay and you raise some very valid reasons for not having done this already and you are obviously well versed in the subject. I will try and email in on 865 sometime as Im always watching (and learning) and really enjoy the programme. As for an SPT they have been a bit far away and waiting for one to be a bit nearer Hull !!!
Tikay i find it difficult when playing, live and online, not tobe too loose or too tight.And usually the change from one to the other is too abrupt. I have good disipline, hand selection and patience but something is not right. I also find it hard to take advantage of my chipstack in the early stages of a tourny because i feel as if i am scared to lose them.

Try downloading Full Tilt poker they have all you need to know in thier poker academy videos. They are all free if you sign up then you can keep playing with sky and use thier videos.
What cash games do you play and stakes (if you dont mind saying) online and live?
what do you think is the best way to improve ones poker game is?
do you use Hold em manager or Poker tracker? I remember you saying poker office was a great tool to use back when "poker live TV" or whatever that show was called used too be on.
finally is the octopus who is predicting all the WC results really physic?
On the Cash ulimited this week Ricard and yourself were discussing the England National side and how that if the season was short they may perform better.
Instead why not have National leagues(Simailar to the Six Nations in Rugby) for each Continent and each year a cup competition with the top 2 from each national league compete ala Champions League/World Cup.
So players either play for their nation or league football. Wages can come from the revenue from TV as i am sure this would easily take over the Premeir league and all those pampered players then can get back to playing football trying to be good enough for the national League.
Does anyone think think this maybe a good idea and would it work?
