In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi Norman, I think it's now done every week on "Poker News at Ten", which is usually narrated & written by James Hartingan Hartigan. Pardon the shameless spam, but I go to Vegas on Monday for a 2 week holiday, playing da pokerz 24/7, prior to 2 weeks "work" when the VLV crew arrive on July 4th/5th. I'll be Tweeting daily, from the Tables, & with up to the moment Vegas news, so if you want to follow it, just sign up to Twitter (it's completely free) & "follow" me, my moniker is Tony_Kendall I think.

Thanks for the info TK its strange I seem to have turned a vivid shade of green, must be my Irish heritage. Have a fabulous time in Vegas win big and if I hit the euro millions tonight se you there. Regards Norman
A hand that played out last night in our local league.. Your thoughts/comments please.
Player 1 is holding full house A's full of 2's, player 2 is holding 2's full of A's, all five cards have been laid and players are deliberating over bets. Big pot has built up through flop, turn etc.
Player 1 raises 20k, player 2 throws in two chips representing the 20k and at the same time says "all in", player 1 does not hear him say "all in" and thinks he has just called (busy place, lots of noise!) player 1 shows his full house and player 2 thinks he has folded as he has shown his cards and trys to claim the pot, player 1 insists he did not hear the all in. Discussion amongst players follwed and the outcome was that player 1 took the pot including all of player 2's chip as the others heard the allin, they all felt that player 1 would still have called the allin had he heard it.
I wasn't there but feel the fairest out come would have been to leave the 20k call in the pot and player 2 stays in the game. I am aware that if your hand is declared to opponents, it is void, but in this instance he was showing to win the pot.
Player 2 was very gracious in the end and accepted that player 1 would have called the allin given his hand.
If I play in more than one game, how do I get the screen to "split" so that I can easily see all the games at the same time ??? And do you think Michael Chopra was a good buy for the mighty TractorBoys ? Posted by usm
Hi usm
If you have a look at the top right hand corner of the table, there is a blue button with "Mini View on it, click on that, it will make the table smaller so you can move to be able to have more than one table at a time on you're screen
I was just wondering if Sky Poker has any plans to expand the player points opportunities. For example, I have over 20,000 sky points and the only option open to me is to play a freeroll each day. I must add that these freeroll tournaments are rebuy ones - so basically its not even a fair freeroll. People in general who are using points are doing so a lot of the time because they do not have money. Call me a cynic but it seems as if Sky Poker is merely trying to get people to "add on" in these tournaments and spend more money.
I could be wrong but 20,000 points is a lot in cash for Sky Poker in rake earned, so I feel the least they could do is actually have some decent sattelites for the points in question or implement some kind of steps scheme as done on the other big poker sites.
Does that seem fair to you?
Best wishes, 50crates
p.s.
I wish sky would have some proper deep stack tournaments with longer blind levels. Starting with 2000 chips and having 10 minute levels puts a lot of players off. Sure have the turbo option, but dont make everything a turbo.

What exactly do you want to be registered in?............and any game you wish to actually play in has to be done by yourself.
If you are referring to registering for the forum DTD (Dawn Till Dusk) league, you need to inform them by posting your wish in the General Poker Chat (gpc) thread and then look them up under the 'Forum DTD Monday 27/06/2011' thread.
I hope this helps 'notaclue2'...........and good luck. Ps: to actually play in any game you usually have to register in the lobby of that game yourself. ......Billy

On two occations now i have raised pre flop with AK and AQ in early position playing dubble your money,and was called by a player in the blinds.The flop would come down completely blank with low ranking cards.My opponent [different one every time] went all in.I folded both times thinking he might have pocket pair.Is this the right play from me or should i call hoping he has nothing or that i might hit the turn or river?
