Good morning.
I requested your free entry for tonight several days ago, & Head Office confirmed by e-Mail that it will be organised. However, they rarely (& never in the case of the TSP Classic) register Free Entries until the actual day of the Tournament, so I would expect to see your name in the Lobby shortly.
If it is not in the Lobby by early afternoon, please remind me, & I'll chase it up, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Thankyou for your response, can I just say that no I would not like to be called a cheat that would not be nice. But then again Im not a company that is trying to make a living. Look i know i have won a freeroll the other day and yes it felt good, and also losing is not a nice feeling but when your deep into a tournament and you lose by hand hand that feels unrealistic you start to question the site and when it happens so many times its hard to take.
is there something wron with my play i won last friday and havent even got to final table again i just played in the big game tonite and got knocked out with ace ace then ace king to get knocked out is my play that bad

I am not Tikay but its called veriance, sometimes you will be unlucky as long as you play consistently well you should win overall if you play enough games... It's hard to judge your "play" on that info but it sounds like bad luck, congrats on the win last friday .

final tables are so few and far between even for seasoned pros. Heaters often cause unusual results. Such as many Final Tables in one week. 2 or 3 a month is often the standard. Its why many top players always say going for the win is important. However even the best got more than 6 months without a final table
Im sure Tikay will give you a far better reply but i think this is the norm for tourny poker.
hi how are you, on freeplay is it possible to get higher stakes table, at the moments you have max 1000/ 2000, there are lots of small table and not very popular.
I play at fulltilt and they have lots of high stakes tables , cos of high stakes people play properly and learn and pick up more poker skills, unlike here in skypoker everyone play like a donk..me too lol.
I would recommend more higher stakes table, 5,000/10,000, 10,000/20,000 instead of 0.50/1 and 1/2 stakes table.

Hi Kicker
tikay does not make the decisions on what tables are used on Sky , I have copied and pasted this into the communities section of the forum so that hopefuly, the powers that be will see it, and hopefuly respond.
You and Richard mention a formular for DYM and STT in your lesson on poker, What is that please? Posted by tano
Hi tano
You ned to sit tight in the opening blinds, only play premium hands AA, KK, QQ, maybe even JJ, dont chase flush, and straight draws unless it is relly cheap to do so, let the others get knocked out, when you get to the final 4, there are a couple of posts in the ask tikay thread, you can find them here, and, here, one is by myself, and the follow up, by tikay , good luck at the tables.
I play most of my games at night (torniments) like between 10:30pm and 3:00am as I tend to play better (or others play worse) at that time. Have you noticed yourself any change in skill level or the way poeple play including yourself at diffrent times of the day...
As I am a student my body clock is abnormal meaning I am wide awake some times at 3:00am this may put me at an advantage to other who are less awake perhaps?
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi Pommy, Yes, sorry about that, I was aware, as you reminded me on Friday, but I've been offline all weekend. I intend to clear my PM backlog today. The matter in question is quite outwith my remit, in truth, but I am trying to sort it, as I know you are displeased about the situation. Please bear with me. Thanks. Posted by Tikay10
ive been playing on sky poker for about a year and i find it very difficult to seperate a check from weakness and a check which is from a very strong hand, are there any clues that i can use to tell the difference ???

In MOST cases a check is weakness.
It depends utterly, too, on who has "position", & whether that player regularly checks, if checking fits their usual betting pattern.
It can be strength, of course, but as a general rule, someone has missed, or wants a cheap flop/turn/river. Test them, fire a bet in & see what happens.

I got the backlog fully cleared yesterday, (up to mid-afternoon), but there's quite a few more incoming since, & I'll deal with those tomorrow, Wednesday.

Beware of checks on paired boards, though.
