I entered two satellite tournaments for the same prize not knowing i would make it through the first time of asking,but i did. Then i almost made it the second time, what I want to know is could I have played twice in the same tournament if I had made it? Posted by jamie167
Hi jamie,
No - absolutely not!
Sorry.
Some sites do have multi-entry Tourneys, but Sky Poker have no immediate plans to go down that road, so far as I know.
I think he means play it 1 week then hold back his second ticket until the next week...... Probably the same answer normally but if he mis-understtod he would prob get away with it... Why enter 2 sats simultaniously for the same thing though??? Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Aah, I seeeeeeee
You read the situation well, judging by your reply. I'm really not sure why anyone would enter 2 satellites for the same thing, to be honest.

It was the last 2 chances to satellite my way into the 12k bounty hunter at 8.00p.m for £1.60, while I was playing the second to last chance I didn't think I was going to make it so I registered for the last one at £1.60, which I nearly got through but luckily just cashed, then I just wondered would I have played both but now I know you don't, thanks.

Hi llandody,
What exactly, if I may ask, would you like Sky Poker to do about all these so-called "bad players"? Ban them, so you only face good players? We'd never win then!
I'm afraid I don't subscribe to mocking lesser-skilled players, or berating their abilities. Respect your opponents, & you'll find your results will improve dramatically.
Poker must be the only game where participants complain about bad players.
The worse they are, the better it is. Embrace it.
Enjoy your poker, hopefully here at Sky Poker, but it's no different wherever we play, the range of skills our opponents possess will always vary.
If you can choose between playing less-skilled opponents, or really good ones, I'd strongly recommend you try beating the former. The latter are the ones to avoid.

Hi chezzy.
Yes, a big ask, but off the top of my head, if you can include these tips, you'll be OK.
1) Patience. One of THE biggest assets in poker. Without patience, you will lose money at poker.
2) Understand, & use, "position", the most powerful weapon in poker. I doubt 20% of players understand the value of position. Exploit it, all day & all night.
3) Only play with what you can well afford to lose. When you lose more than you can afford, the game is horrible. Don't go there.
4) Win & lose with dignity. Nothing worse than a bad loser, except a bad winner.
5) Enjoy the game for what it is. Few players have much of an edge, as there is so much luck involved, but follow the basics & you will not lose money over time.
hi tikay just replying to the post i put in sorry if i come accross as a bad looser just had a really bad day at the tables didnt mean to sound off like that would be really grateful on any tips how to beat these so called players many thanks llan:-)

No worries Llan,
I neec to go & prep fpr tonight's Show, so I'll try & reply to your question tomorrow, or you can try writing in to tonight's Show, skyopen@bskyb.com, & I may be able to field it during the Show.
hi wondering if your can help settle a small debate i had last night? basically i was playing a cash game top 5 get paid theres 6 players left. player A has most chips, then player B, player C is shortest in this hand other 3 not involved, as ABC all push all-in pre flop
player A has 99 player B has AA player C has KQ
flop K Q 2
turn 7
river 9
so obv player A wins other two are out but debate goes as who gets 5th place who gets bubble as player B says i had next most chips so im 5th regardless of hand. player C says but my hand beats your hand so im ranked higher than you because if player A werent in pot i would have doubled off player B and poker is all about who nhas best hand.
basically just wanting a answer to this so instead of saying well im almost sure you win, i can say actually the rule is you win as i see both points and have never realy thought about this situation thanks alot james

The busted player with most chips going into the hand gets 5th.
When you,ve had a bad result and reflect on it afterwards and you know you made the wrong move how do you get over it?
I got knocked out of the survivor final round after playing well, but when down to 2 players although I was behind on chips (4.7k vs 7.3k with blinds still only 100/200) i still felt confident.
I then made one mistake by rasing with 6-4 off ( I had been at it for a while and should have slowed down) , then got involved on flop and didn,t hit when i shoved on turn
I could have been in the survivor final, but even 24 hours on i,m still beating myself about it as it could have been my biggest paydays to date and there are some gr8 prizes in that final
I haven,t played since because off it as Im not in the right frame of mind - Whats the best way off getting over it?
hi there tikay, i'm having a really hard time the last few weeks of running into so called fish players.im getting called of players with any to cards such as 2nite i had jj player calls me with i think it was 8 5. he wins. im raising big but it doesnt seem 2 both some players.this is happening 2 much.how do i get round this??? im playing very little poker now as im sick of bad beat after bad beat.
I am having a bad time of it at present. Can't shake players no matter what I do and sometimes it seems allin is the only option. Not blaming them or Sky, just a run of bad luck. At nl4 you've got to expect it!
Any way my question is how do you or the pros you know cope with a downturn (mine as been about 6 months now). I've taken breaks, taken advice - some from you I think, etc.. Is it just a matter of playing through it, trying to adapt, and hope the cards don't hold a grudge for too long? My first major downturn in under 2 years of playing, so still a youngster (in this at least!).
tikay my quest for 10-10000 has gotten off to a good start, having now reached 120 in just a week on 4-8p tables....should i consider moving up the stakes
played again all nite 2 kings 2kings aq suited great hands beat all nite just played king queen suited got straight player all in 5 2 unsuited gave him full house wat do i hav 2 do si te is bad wat u think
