Tikay, Quick question, I've just played the £50gtd freeroll (tournament no.4818990) and I'd just like to say I find the rebuy and addon feature a joke. To play the freeroll you have to buyin with 'poker points' as your site says this is a promotion, however any rebuy or addon is not added onto the £50guaranteed freeroll pot, unless it exceeds the £50 mark? I feel this is unacceptable, for example, in this tournament there were 106 (rebuys and addons inclusive), but only £3 was added to the pot, not the £53 I felt should of been... Therefore Sky is having its pot paid for by players who rebuy/addon, and as above I thought poker points were a promotion!!!!!!!! If you addon at the break which I did (under the impression the money would be added to the pot), and do not rebuy, hence putting 50p into Skys £50 guaranteed pot, you have to finish at least 10th to gain your money back!!!!!! Your thoughts on this from you and your team would be gratefully appreciated! This is not to do with the money, as I was playing for a bit of 'fun', however I feel all players are being cheated by not explaining the rebuy/addon is not added to the pot...

Hi Tikay, I joined sky poker a few nights back now and think its great, some very good players here too and I enjoy watching on the tele very much. I do have a question though.... If player A goes all in on the turn and is then called by player B , player A then flips his cards over thinking its a show down but player C is still to act. Now, player C already has the flush but player A has a nut flush when the river was turned. Whats the rules in general for a player revealing their hand before the action has finished ? Many thanks : ) Posted by Yardeez
I just joined sky poker too, after playing at betfair poker for a few months. I won one a freeroll tournament against 733 people took me 4hrs and only won£4.50, so I wouldnt feel too hard done by here.

hi tikay my problem is when i have pocket 8s or 7s i really seem to win of them i raise with them but aces n kings always seem to come down so i lose am giving up hope playing them just wondered if u could give me a few tips on how best to play them thanks scott.
I am having a mare. I have had a good run, cashing on a number of small stakes tables this week, showing a decent profit. Then BANG, I can't pick up a hand. From playing £5 to £11 tournaments I thought I would go down to the most basic 30p double your money games to try and just burn the bad luck off, and nearly trashed my bank roll. Luckily I transferred a few quid so I am still in profit. What do you reckon? Keep up with v low stakes games until the worm turns, or just give it a rest for a few days. Problem is, I miss playing. Please note: I am not doing this as a living, because if I was I would probably be asking you if you want to buy a Big Issue come Monday morning.
i watched a hand and i do not understand the result. how does a pair beat a straight?

It's because there's two pots - a main pot contested by all three players (gibbet being the all-in player) and a side pot between sexygonky and goldstar. Goldstar just takes the side pot as the pair is the best hand between goldstar vs sexygonky. Gibbet took the main pot with his straight.
