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. Posted by nutloaf
Hi Nutloaf, good first Post on our Community.
Apologies to you (& everyone else) for the delay in replying, I am struggling to handle all the comms I get on various platforms these days, but it's all good.
That hand? You did absolutely NOTHING wrong.
In spots like that, if you are playing properly, you MUST get your money in. If you lose - & you will sometimes - it does not mean you have done anything wrong.
It's important to understand that in poker, in the short-term, it is not always a "fair" game. In the longer term, yes, but short term, no, it can be brutally unfair.
Please remember something else, too - just because you lost a hand, does not mean that you, or your oppo, did anything wrong. Even if you get lucky, it does not make you a "bad" player, far from it. Over time, it all evens out.
"Big on big" often happens, nobody needs ro make a mistake, its just the nature of the game.
Flop a set? There are VERY few situations when you should ever fold.
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. Posted by Chompy_imo
Sorry mate, never heard of you.
Are you the geezer who was showboating in Luton last night with 9-3?
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? Posted by Top-Taffy
Welcome back Toppy.
Interesting questions, what with that libellous thread on 2+2 the other day about i-Poker, & all the usual hysterical overreaction to a piece of pure speculation under the guise of "facts".
Q1. I've no idea what other Sites do. I am 99.9% certain that none of them use their OWN bots on poker sites, but I'm pretty sure "player bots" do exist. I really don't know why people worry so much about bots though. They are programmed by humans, & cannot anticipate curve-balls, only "standard" A-B-C plays, so they are not really a threat, even though I wholly disapprove of them. If you really are worried about bots on other sites, perhaps you should stick to Sky Poker.....
Q2. Do they work on Sky Poker? Again, no idea, but I'd be astonished if any existed here. Think of the cost/reward equation, I hardly think it's optimal for them to play at lower levels, & our high-end liquidity is such that it'd be pretty easy to spot one.
I'd be more inclined to worry about the price of sixpenny eggs, how many beans make five, & poor Carlos Tevez, who is getting so much stick recently, poor chap.
Hi Tikay Do you know of any live events in Berkshire ? -blowed if I can find any. Thanks. Posted by bazzer61
Bit of a barren area for "fully licensed" Live Poker, to be honest.
There are a couple of Clubs which do not have a full licence though, & I imagine they would be OK.
TC's, in Maidenhead (TC = Tony Chapman, a real old school guy, straight as a die) is pretty good I believe, I've heard pretty good reports about it. Can't think of many others off the top of my head.
If you don't mind going down the M4, there is a decent scene in Swindon, again "grey licence" rather than fully licensed.
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? Posted by A11IN4ME1
Hi A11
Lovely road, the A11 you know, I used to use it to go up to Mildenhall during the first Gulf War & see all the USAF B-52's coming & going, awesome bits of kit, them. I also used to be a regular visitor to Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit, once again, an A11 job. Here's a fascinating page about the A11.....
As to your question, I refer you to the replies by John Connor & Dohhhhhhh, which HTNOTH.
Incidentally, never fret about being on the same table as big stacks. We do have one regular here who gets incred tilted about it for some reason, but believe me, it is a GOOD thing if there are big stacks on your Table.
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 Posted by j3ono
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.
Just curious if that coincides with the Nov 9 wsop final table? Also curious of your own preference for hotel when in Vegas? And finally if you got the chance when playing the deepstack series will you be tweeting your progress at the tables, as i know for the 1st few levels you would have the time on your hands! Your tweets from vegas with sky this year were brilliant and much appreciated.
Thanks and good luck on the tables if you get out there.

Thanks for the reply, no need to apologise response time was quite quick I thought. Been playing this site since August just found out about forum, so will post more soon.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : 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. Hope you are running well. Posted by Tikay10
thanks tikay for reply and running quite good atm lol
Firstly, good evening to yourself and young Richard, hope your both well and thanks for mention earlier, please check out these two IDs - both in a row in the £1200 TSP classic, Aces both times in consecutive hands, what is the odds of this??? ... thankfully i won both times and got to showdown.
Surely we are looking at 50,000 /1 or more... please let me know and again enjoy your evening the pair of you.
PS after winning the mini event £1000 last night and won £288, i am currently running 3rd in the ,mini bh event tonight.

There is a new poker room in Reading called Duffs I think, not played there but assuming it is properly licensed or is this one of the "grey" licenses you talk of Tikay?
Hi Tikay jusy a question about these poker points, i have dipped my toe into the world of cash games just at the lower level 4p/8p and 5p/10p am i right in thinking you get 2 points every 20 hands and 1p taken in rake, so my questions are. Do i have to win the hand? or take any part in it apart from folding lol? does it matter how many people are in the hand? and how much needs to be in the pot for 1p to be taken in rake, i.e what is the percentage?
