Its my dad's birthday on monday (DUDLYE888) - 69 yrs young. he loves poker but gets really frustrated early on in MTT. I want to buy him a decent book to study from one of the big stars. He has cancer and this will really perk him up. What can you suggest ?
Pass on my massive balls up to ed, many thanks On Thursday 22/9/11, spt classic was playing quiet well at WORK with 7 left and it being midnight and time to go home, having done this a few times with great success, 1st week with in mini primo springs to mind. I left work got home in the 7 mins it takes. BUT i forgot 2 fully close down sky poker and left window open. DOH So couldn't continue mtt, but managed to tell other players who blinded me out to 7th. I believe from Monkeyf that it will shown on 865 tonight at 8 many thank J3ono
Ive just played in a Freeroll. Within 5 mins someone joined our table with over 5 million chips. Hows this been done? We all started with 3000 chips. Has he just gone all-in too much?

Hi,
I stumbled across this question and thought I'd offer a possible explanation as the situation you describe is almost certainly impossible.
Did you see the 5 million chips when you hovered the cursor over the players avatar? It is possible for players to make anything they want appear here by amending their location in account settings. I have seen this a few times before.

Some people are just that lucky !!!

Nah Johnconnor is right. It winds me up when people do that too.
Hi Tikay. you and I are old school poker players, we both have something in common, winnning the sky open, yeh I went one better, the open on the Tuesday and the velocity on the Thursday, in the same weeek. those were the days. i took a sabattical from the game and came back recently, what a difference a few months make, some very strange calls indeed, my question is, There are numberous poker bots about lately, do they work on Sky poker because they are totally baffling me?
Just been reading your Gutshot memories from way back on the thread. Happy days. Great place that. But you missed me out from the list of famous players there? Never mind.
sky is a load of shi te worst site beat even wif full house joke but u tikay great great beat doyle joke even players watched me and said joke but thats skyjoker
Hello. Started multi table tourney, first hand, first to act 22, call 20 flop cames down flush draw, trips for me. Someone goes all in I call, another call. A5 wins with flush, the guy who went all in first had 2 pair was I right to call the all in? Thanks.
hi tikay just a quick question with regards to the league points you earn points when you win the hand yeah so does that mean the more aggressive players will more likely build up moreleague points because they are taking most pots at the table compared to for example a tight player is that correct ?
played again since sat cant win no matter told off sky 3 months ago luk would change joke not sore looser but just want fair chance how many players do sky sponsor on this site dont say none my mate plays 4 william hills gets 200 pounds per week they split winnings he s told me leave sky alone but i dont loose a lot and sky want me gone but me stubborn wont quit untill get fair play Posted by shann
just a quick question shann! if you dont lose alot why do you complain so much??

Hi Liam.
Thats kinda awkward to answer really, because aggressive players DO tend to win a lot of hands. And lose a lot of hands, too. Same with tight players, or any other players.
Essentially, players who win more pots will gain more points, I guess.
Hi Tikay. It`s been a while since i was last on this site. I realised, i just can`t do without my Sky Poker. My question for you sir, is........ Do you still play poker on a professional level. Whether it be with Sky, or when you are not working.? Cheers. Mike. Posted by efgloser
Hi efg, welcome back. Don't be leaving us again!
Do I still play poker on a pro level? No, & I have not done so since retiring from the pro circuit some 5 or 6 years ago really.
The game has changed so much, & I'm not at all sure I can go the pace these days. I have a firmly held belief that I could play full time on the Tourney Circuit & not LOSE money, but that can wait until I'm retired. And yes, I honestly believe that if I returned to the Live Circuit & played, say, an entire GUKPT series, I would not lose a penny. But I could be wrong on that. Very wrong....
Curiously, but perhaps tellingly, I've earned more money from the Live Poker Circuit this year ("gross profit" or "roi") than I ever did by playing the game, from staking OTHER players in big Events, which would seem a more efficient way for me to earn money from poker, given that the game is getting tougher, & I am getting older.....
I'm seriously considering playing the Coventry GUKPT next week, although for reasons of time-effectiveness, I may just set light to £1,070 instead.....I'm also off to Vegas in November to play the Venetian Deepstack series.
Online? I just play "recreationally" & smallball on Sky Poker these days. My PTP Account had some money deposited in it 3 years ago, & has never needed topping up or repleneshing, & every time it exceeds a certain figure, Sky Poker remove the "surplus", which they have done once or twice I think. I think deposited £250 in my personal account on Sky Poker years ago, & it currently stands at a small 4 figure sum. So I get by, but not enough to live on!
Confession time. After a particularly bruising time from one particular abuser on the Tables while playing at Sky Poker, (this was a year or so ago) I decided to play a night or two a week Online elsewhere, using an "anon" screen-name (peace & quiet, oooh!) so I deposited $1,000 & spun it up to $3,500 pretty quickly playing PLO. Shame it was Full Tilt they ran away with it before I could lose it, or withdraw it. Marv.
I live the life of riley, really, as I earn a considerable income on "the other side" of the poker table. Earning money by pursuing one's hobby is as good as it gets. Not sure how much longer I can go the pace, to be honest, it is very full-on, but I'll continue as long as I enjoy it. Or until I get the tin-tack.....

....how gd a reply is that !............I bet many a player on here would have loved to 'pry ( perhaps too strong a word ) into your personal poker life but thought it would be one imposition too far.......don't have to now, intriguing and v.soz to hear about FT ...grrr .....
