Over the last few weeks there has been alot of talk in the chat boxes about Sky having in house players playing HU. Personally I have never believed this but there is always a doubt in the back of your mind.
One player mentioned all tjhe time is Macskywer - and I must admit he has never spoken and when I thought I give him a game - he was calling my bets down with nothing then hits on the river - strange but I let it go
Just wanted to get your confirmation that there is no IN HOUSE players - as your word is true
Do not usually listen to gossip but when you play high stakes you want to make sure it is all fair

ive also heard these rumours peg and although it does make you think about it i would after say i really doubt it! in my opinion this is easily the best site on the net and seems to be very fair in my opinion! all the best whoareya!!
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : I think you missed the bove questiojn Tikay, lthough i,m not suprised at this seems to be turning into a bad beat thread or something that belongs in Area 51 Since I posted the above question I have phoned up Sky poker, emailed them and sent PM,s to other Sky Poker Staff. I did get a reply to an email saying they were looking into it and would get back to me when they could but that was nearly a month ago. I am going to phone up again. Who would you recommend to ask to speak to as its been almost 9 months now since it finished and not long of a year since it started Cheers Paul Posted by MP33
Re : Apprentice Prize
I only chase this up every month now, but still nothing from anyone at Sky despite ppl saying they,ll get back to me on it
I have been playing poker for a total of 3 weeks now, the majority of it on this site I have also watched hours and hours of CH 865 and have to say the banter between you and orford is pure comedy genius! Keep up the good work
Something I think I really struggle with is confidence against strong positive players who raise strongly and re-raise me when I have decent hands. They can't always have a better hand then me, however I need a strategy to adapt to this kind of play, can you help?

Just a quickie - James cracking impression mate of "Tikay", so good that my 5 week old son Lewis is asleep in his moses basket by me here in the lounge while i play and the tv is on 865, my son Lewis always moves when the poker is on the telly and tikay is on.. subsequently after your "Alistair McGowan" moment, i think little Lewis thought it was TIKAY HIMSELF and then suddenly made a crying sound! lol
Enjoy your evening, runnning well in the sky roller at moment and the mini event - trying to go for the dylan double.
can anyone tell me if poker is luck or skill. i think it is luck ? all i see is luck and if you think it is skill please please show me or show me a hand what you call skill thank you. looking forward to your answer.

A big congratulations to Julian Thew aka yo-yo - what a great ambassador to the poker community in the UK and on a global scale.
On a smaller scale, played in my first 8k Sunday roller earlier and came 17th out of 54,, not bad... and in the mini event came 10th just missing out on the cashes.
A frustration for all when you spend a few hours and then miss out on or near the bubble - still we move on to the next one and try and put the previous behind and forget about it.
