Hi Tikay. You have been receiving an awful lot of stick recently on the live shows. I am ashamed to say that i have participated recently. But something you said on last nights show gave me an idea which i think is good on a number of levels. I could post it on the forum but then it will be in public view and spoil the surprise if you wish to act on my proposal. So how do i contact you privately ? I'll need an e-mail address but i need to share this with you fairly soon as time is of the essence. Honestly man it'll be worth it. Posted by BLACK_MASS

Tikay I have entered into poker 'premiership' on the purple team, and in each and every tournament so far you would think that no one knew how to play position, stacks or even poker!!! Some of the plays and calls have been horrendous. Do you think giving these 'free rolls' encourage people to play bingo rather than poker (thats what i seem to be witnessing) cheers Ben Caird (pokerbhoy0)

At the bottom of any of Tikay10's posts on the forum click the "Contact Tikay10" link and you will be able to send him a personal message. Friends list or no friends list.
No cant send message. Can just fill in recipient and title of message box. Maybe i'm being really stupid but if it works i can't figure it out. Posted by BLACK_MASS
On second thoughts it sounds like you are having a similar problem to someone who posted here: Can't see messages in my inbox

I started at skypoker yesterday, having watched it on tv for a week or so, i'm a bit of A poker newbie. I have been told by a friend that the way to win at poker is to be ultra aggressive i just wonder whether he might have a point because for my first night i went to 2p/4p cash tables bet just about everything and came out with double. Is this actually a profitable way to play poker? Andrew From Andrewz081
hi tikay this is my first post, great show as usual Played a "Family & Friends" game the other day and i had bottom pair but had a good read on the other player.... He raised on the river and i called I asked him if he had hit the board he said he had hit a pair of tens (higher than my pair) I mucked my hand and then he showed Ace High I know usually as i mucked he wins the pot, but does it make a difference that he called the incorrect hand or no difference at all Many Thanks Posted by telboy516
Hi telboy
I suppose rules are more relaxed during family and friends games, if you were playing in a card room/casino, it would depend on that particular places rules as to what would happen, for instance, in Vegas, a certain, very well known analyst of ours had a circuit forfeit for talking about a hand, not once, but twice Welcome the the forums
HI JUST WONDERED IF OTHERS HAD EXPERIENCED AN IMBALANCE WHEN TABLES ARE BALANCED IN TOURNEYS? LATELY IN BH I'VE BEEN PUT ON TABLES WITH HIGH STACKS CONSTANTLY EG 3 TABLES LEFT 130,000 CHIPS & 70,000 CHIPS ON MY TABLE! HOW ARE TABLES SORTED, ANYONE KNOW?
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi Covvy, A-A v 7-5 is only about 78% to win, so the 7-5 will win one time in 5, roughly, which is a 4/1 shot. Play the hand 5 times, & you WILL, on average, lose once. Fact. That assumes, of course, that the Aces were played optimally........ A-A v J-10 is a slightly bigger dog, but still only about 4/1. I'm not sure how a 4/1 shot winning equates to "rigging the deal", can you make the connection for me, please? 4/1 shots win every day. Roughly one time in 5, in fact. If they did not, then there would be reason to complain! It's just like real life, Covvy. We take a beat or two along the way, unfairly sometimes, but if we have character & backbone, we just take them in our stride. Posted by Tikay10
hi there tikay, would just like to say i dont normally get involved with things that dont concern me but covvys post is possibly the worst ive ever read, the site ic certainly not fixed in any way and if you cant handle the swings of no limit then its simple just dont play!! rant over!!
Hi Tikay I would just like a bit of advice to improve my game. . . .i haven't been playing for very long. When I enter MTT's, freerolls or buyins I usually get to the first break on an average stack, and usually finish in the last 20%, but can't seem to progress further than this.
Is it just a case of practice, I am I expecting too much as a newbie or is there any tips you could give me to help improve.

Redraws are done randomly, as far as I know this happens pretty much everywhere.
It's scarier live when you can physically see people's chip stacks - one tournament I played in a few years ago had 3 (8 handed) tables left and the top 5 chip stacks were all on my table!!!
Although I was the chip leader - so not that scary
