    I'll catch up on the replies as soon as possible, guys. Keep the questions coming, please, I love them.

    Other people reply better than I ever can sometimes, too - did you see the reply by (I forget now, I'm sorry) about what "variance" really is? Super stuff.

    Keep the questions, AND answers coming, please.

    lol, I got hooked!!! I can do the first bit - Variance is just another word for luck. There is more action at a 6 handed table, so if you're playing more hands, there's more chance that you will succomb to variance short term.  This could mean getting flattering results (hitting a rush of cards) OR, losing when you got your money in ahead, (bad beats) Same as 10 handed though, long term, you will get what you deserve. The problem with your suggestion about playing the best players, is that even entry to a £100 tournament isn't much motivation for the big guns. As a lower stakes player myself, I was lucky to get the chance to play these big guns on an equal playing field, with the winner getting entry to the world series main event, worth 10 grand. This is the sort of motivation these guys would need to play hard against us lower guys.  It was in a competition sky run, which everyone who plays on the site was eligible for, so hopefully there will be another one, and you (and I) can have another shot!! I know nothing about trains, but what beer do you drink? and how many did you get down whilst typing that post??? lol Gud luk

    Hi DOH ive been thinking for a couple of days about what you say here and im getting a much more poker orientated mind now i think because of help like this. Ive just been playing the game before but now im thinking about it as well and that has only happened because of this community.

    I suppose Im going to have to play my son heads up because after the thrashings he's taken on the pool table i better alow him his moment. Anyway he wont shut up about it. I'll let u know when in case u want to watch. Bye  n thanks.

    hi. just watched final table on tv and though i am extremly grateful and apreciate your constructive criticism i think you was overly harsh on my play.is mickjenn1 a relative of yours because you never homed in on his perculier calls did you. i have been playing poker for only a short while and i learned everything i know from the guys at sky pokerit is never off the tv but i did not care for you analasis of my game it was full of criticism. i had been playing from 5oclock that night and played a lot of good poker wich you did not see ,and apart from that the way i play i like to see a lot of flops. is that wrong?.you said against a known bluffer(mj1)  i should be shoving i nhave never played him b4 so how do iknow hes a bluffer.out of 12 hands shown on tv of mine you found fault on 9 of them yet i won 7 of them yes iam passive and yes i do like to see flops but that is the way i play but i can mix it up as well.i have never played live and i was arranging to go to my local casino in blackpool very soon but after watching that on tv my confidence is low right now.anyway thanks for the advise and i will as usual take it on board maybe next time i play a relative of yours (lol) i will be a bit more aggresive. i also hope you can take it as well as give it tk.   regards  phil.

    Why is it that whenever you take your/some cash off this site it then Bottom fooks you with whatever you have left on here..
    Everytime, and im not the the only Person either??!!!
    You get a decent hand soon after say KK AA, then the flop goes 827 you raise pre and people call..
    Then it goes Q 4 For EG, they hit set of 2's... EVERYTIME!!!
    Really makes you wanna go and stay on Pokerstars etc..
    This really cant be regulated????
    JOKE!!

    Hello tikay , Im pretty new to sky been playing poker on and off for a couple of years but the last 2-3 months been trying to improve my game by watching 865. I satelitted into the 10k bh last week lasted 15 min playing to loose against better players, ive sat'd into 5k tonight any tips on how to start this kind of tourney. I tend to play loose-tight,  tight, then loosen up when in the money . is this a good tactic

    Hi susie

    What is your definition of, 'a monster hand'?

    It's unlucky. for example if a set loses to quads - but you seem to suggest that you include KK and AA as monster hands when they're evidently not.

    AA is one pair, the average winning hand in NLHE is 2 pair - so if you're getting your money in with hands like KK and AA it's not that surprising if you're not winning.

    HEYZ ,RE BOUNTY HUNTER TOURNIES .
    IT AMAZES ME HOW CERTAIN PEOPLE HAVE THE SELF BELIEF THAT THAY SHOULD NEVER BE BEATEN ON A HAND AND IN TURN LOSING THERE OWN HEAD IN THESE PERTICULAR TOURNAMENTS .   IT OFTEN HAS HAPPENED WITH ME ,   IT ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE HOW THEY REACT IN THE CHAT COLOUM AFtER THERE BEAT UP .
    OTHER NIGHT FOR E.G   I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GAIN THE HEAD OF ONE OF THE SO CALLED SELF CONFESSED SUPER TYPE PLAYERS ,  THE REACTION BY THIS PLAYER WAS TO POST MY SHARKSCOPE TOTALS ON OPEN CHAT FOR ALL TO SEE  AND FLANKING ME AS A JOKE PLAYER ,( not that it bothered me )    but why do certain players have this attitude that they shouldent be beaten ?          chris  aka reelspinne.
