    To everyone who I bad-beated in tonight's 7.30, £22 30 runner deepie - & there were lots of you - I'm sorry! No hands until the final, just crept into the Final under the Radar, then BOOM BOOM BOOM, & I sucked out on everyone. MereDonkey was horrified.

    So, nearly £200 locked up. Trust me to be on PTP duty - & thus the winnings are not mine. ;)

    Hi thompson

    It is accepted that you use between 2% and 10% of your bankroll,depending who you ask, I would suggest low level DYM,s, or if your bankroll can afford it deepstack tournaments, these are a great way to learn poker and you have plenty of time.
    Hope his helps

    It's also the same odds as flopping a royal flush in Texas Hold 'Em.
    See the the opening post in the following thread for a method to calculate the odds.

    What Are The Odds?

    Hi Thommo.

    Have you played much poker before?

    What is your Bankroll, or more likely, how much can you afford to spend (& possibly lose) per week?

    Let me know, & I'll see if I can help.

    If you are a compl;ete novice, you will lose a little money whilst learning. But if you grasp the basics quickly - & the best way to learn is to lose a little, as it hurts - you will very soon be a break-even player, or even profitable. Poker is just a hobby at our level, & most hobbies cost a little money.

    It depends - some players are better at Cash, others are better at Tourneys. Very few excel at both.

    And it depends on how much you can afford to spend, & potentially, lose.

    As a genereral rule, cash play is less volatile, & has less variance, than Tourneys. And in Tourneys, DYM's have the least Variance & Volatility.

    Hi Tikay

    As a big follower of PNL I have been following your thread with Ladyfingers, I await with baited breath on the story of the very sad demise of PNL.

    Who came out on top in the money stakes when the presenters played in the televised tourneys?

    Hi Tikay,             I just wanted to ask what the odds are on a royal flush on the board? This happened to me when i was playing an mtt guaranteed game on monday 16th. Wish I had kept the hand I.D.  so that it could be shown. Amazing to see naturally it was a split pot                                 Cherrybank

    it's like getting blood out of a stone with the ''sky presenter''.
    you ask a question concerning the ''sky live tv programe'' and you get as follows:


    ''Thanks General.

    What exactly was your question, please? ''

    ''LOL''
    thats y i luv this site!!
    always avoiding the OBVIOUS hey TIKAY?

    I'll try & get back onto this asap.

    I have a heavy (non-Sky Poker) Meeting at Noon today, then will pop into G-Luton for the start of the 4 day APAT extravaganza, then continue North & go home to sort some stuff out. Tomorrow I'll be heading back South, (Friday on the M1/M40/M25, luverly), so it'll probably be Saturday before I can get on the case properly. 

    Take care.

    Hi Tikay,

    Been playing on Sky for a while now, mostly SNG DYM, enjoy it a lot.

    Quick Question,  A new Casino has just opened up near me and I understand they are doing Poker Lessons......


    Your opinion.... worth a visit or just keep reading the books and play online to get more experience that way.


    By the way, love the show, especially the banter.  Keep it up

    No - not that I'm aware of Mr Helm.

    They have had two now, so I'm sure there'll be more in due course.

    But if you want FREE MONEY, & lots of it, I'll be making some Posts in the next half-hour which WILL interest you.......

    Here's a hint if you like money.

    Be a tikay tonker. Not an Opeless Orford.
