hi tikay just quakified for newcastle this will be my first ever live game just wondering if there will be time for you and orford to have a quick side game? and have you any tips for a first live tourney?
6 handed early on in S&G small blinds 25/50 last to act pre flop SLOW PLAY or ALL IN? Posted by noviceplay
Neither!
No point going all-in - we want a bit of action, or we only win the Blinds. I am assuming everyone else has Passed, except the Blinds.
The standard line here is.....(this involves LEAST risk).
You have the Buttton, so you MIGHT get 2 Callers if you Pot Bet - 175 - but that's the risk. We must not Limp here, unless we know exactly what we are doing, & are prepared to let go easily if it goes wrong.
The lairy line is to Limp - greater risk, but it might pay off.
But whatever way you choose - be careful, & don't be afraid to pass them if the Flop or Turn action gets very heavy. beware particularly of co-ordinated boards - all one Suit (which you don't have), or....
2 or 3 Paint cards
Running cards (6-7-8 etc).
These are all possible/likely "2 pair" hands, or someone hits a big draw.
Hidden sets are a danger too, the only clue is the betting pattern.
In summary, a winning player can Pass Aces to strong betting here, & still win the SNG, but most players are unable to ever let go of Aces. BIG mistake.
Aces are not much use early doors, but are the bees knees late on.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : The Caller - in this case the only guy left in the Hand - HAS to show to claim the pot here, IMO. It can be argued both weys, but I don't see the problem in showing. I'm assuming they DID first see a Flop, Turn & River? And it was a Cash-game? If a Tourney, & the money went in Pre, or on the Flop or Turn, the Dealer should not deal the Flop/Turn/River until BOTH Hands are OTB. Does that answer the Question? Posted by Tikay10
Yes it did thanks, and i did forget to say it was showdown.
I have just seen the tread about the Master Cash winners. Thanks for choosing my post. I have sent details to Sky and would be happy to play in the Open on Saturday. Thank for the info last night.

Hi Bob,
'Ling arranged for your T-Shirt to be Posted to you yesterday, & it was.
I sent a note to Sky Rich asking for him to put you in THIS Saturday's 8pm Main Event - just as well it was not last Saturday's! Sky-Rich wrote back to me & told he he will organise that. Feel feee to PM him if you wish.
Hi Ask TK I'm Annie, newbie at Sky Poker and at present playing in Freeplay learning the ropes. I have been told there is nothing to be gained playing there, as everyone goes all in, all in, all the time, and the best way to learn is to play sit and go tables. I have tried the 30p 60p a few games now and found that I have hand history for these but none for freeplay. However I do feel there are sensible players in freeplay and I have gained experience there. I have enjoyed some good games but cant look back at my mistakes. If there is no hand history available in freeplay would there be in Freerolls if I play them. Or am I looking in the wrong place for freeplay history. ty annie x
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty certain that Freerolls DO have Hand Histories.
May I make a suggestion?
We are doing something called TKO, which is a £500 Freeroll, and it runs every Tuesday for about 5 weeks. The first one was last night, & the Winning "Team" gets free entry into a £1,000 Freeroll.
The Tournaments are regular structures, & you get to play all the regulars. I'm pretty sure you can still join one or other of the two Teams - why not try that?
There are two Teams of Players - Team "LuckBox" Orford & Team tikay, & despite last night's nail-biting disaster, I highly recommend you join Team tikay. You'd be very welcome.

Hi Tikay Thank you for the invite to join your team [I cant believe your that desperate] but I will have to decline this offer. I dont have full use of the home computer and have to share it with hubby who plays on another site. His play times clash with games on here. If the computer is free on the day and time I will put my name down. You asked me about my name and why I chose "logdon" what a disaster, it was a mix up with log on name and user name I got them round the wrong way. having a girlie moment. I was told I cant change it. It's not a problem as I've got used to it now. You can see why your lucky not to have me on your team maybe you should send me to Richards as a Trojan horse. Well, it will soon be Christmas and I hope Father Christmas is bringing me a brand new lap top just for me to play on . I've dropped enough hints.! Hope your team win the next game you can't go 2 down to Orfords team. Suppose that now makes me team TK. Good luck at the tables. Annie x

Is there any way sky could issue team avatars for these games?
or
if the team captains posted an avatar for thier team members to download and use for these games.

Now that sounds a good idea - if we all used a "common" Avatar, we'd easily know who was who! But that's one for Those Upstairs.
Another way to tell who is in what Team is who won the Pot.

If u go to ur personal details, and change ur town to 'Team Orford' or 'Team walkies' then everyone can see easily where ur aliegance is
Good idea Phil, that was the one thing in last nights tourny that was missing, altho I was lucky enough to dump all my chips onto a Lord Orford team member.
Sorry Tikay I know you have been complimentary about a couple of my posts, but somehow when I came to select the team, a train went by and I jumped and next thing I know I was in the masters team

It worked in your team
As a relative newbe hope dont let you down otherwise i see me being transfer listed.
Dave
Await Sky-Rich's confirmation, please.
Sorry I could not reply when you asked me - at Table - but it's kinda awkward.
Every single player was a credit to Sky Poker.
I don't care what other Sites do, this is my home for good now, & I'm mighty proud of our players.
Poker for the people.
I had an absolute ball, all for free, I won five quid - but can't remember enjoying myself so much.
Fair play to the losers - Team Orford - too. They were good, but were outclassed on the night.
thanks james marriott aka rosjim1
