hi tikay. first time ive posted and just joined from stars and was wondering does sky poker allow poker tools.... poker tracker etc... thanks Posted by Raymond999
Hi Rayond
No, i am afraid they dont work on here, we use out Hand Histories, which, imo is a lot better.
hi tikay my name is nick just some feedback please. i have only ever played on one poker site in my life and it is sky poker. first started playing here on 15/8/2011 just checked my deposit's and withdrawal's for the first time. i have deposited £4980 and withdrawn £5350 which makes me £370 up over all. pretty much all was through poker i have the odd bet on the horses and football but mainly poker. can i get some feedback on if i am doing ok for the time being or should i be doing better considering i think im pretty good at the game? even tho i am a fish . dont take the game seriously just fun really but always want to win ov course like we all do! only once have i lost wat i consider alot ov money my very first month i was up over 2k i thought it was EASY but then i sat and played a player called le chross hu. i was winning £400 off him in 20 mins then lost £1600 back in a 11 hour period effectively £1200 he won sigh. but he was a gentleman and told me a little about the site and who and who not to go toe to toe with lesson no1 since then have thurally enjoyed my time here and the cash for points is great i use that money to play cash games otherwise i stick to tournys and dym's. theres no doubt in my mind i will be sticking around love the banter aswell! just the one Big Question am i doing ok up to now i kno it's not winning big or losing but is it acceptable or am i not really that good? i played everyday for the first 2month's str8 this month i havnt bothered atal, told myself i will take it seriously in 2012 and hope to turn pro by 2013. look forward to your feedback and anyone else's thought's are welcome please thank you.
As you may know, I'm from Liverpool and the nearest SPT event for me this year will be in Blackpool. I fully intend to do everything I can to satellite into this as I've never been to an SPT before and I love live poker so much more than online poker.
So basically it's just a general question about this event. It's been announced as a 2day £220 Bounty Hunter event and I was just wondering if the head price would be the normal 50% of the buyin or not. I just thought that having a £100 price on each person's head might turn it into a bit of a crazy tournament (crapshoot), especially for people who have got in for £24 and can make a nice profit from just taking one 1 head.
So have any decisions been made about this yet?
Also, I look forward to hearing back from you about the Hu's Competition I've organised.
I've returned to the office today after a 2 week holiday, so I'll catch up on the questions soonest - today & tomorrow, hopefully.
PM's may take a little longer - there are literally hundreds of them, all awaiting a reply, so please bear with me, & I'll work through them as fast as I can.

Hi tikay
welcome back, hope your hol was very fruitful buckwise
whats the best when to play in a Bounty hunter tournament? come out guns blazing or wait a few blinds? Posted by olliepokr1
Hi Ollie.
Neither, & both, it kind of depends......
As with life, "all things in moderation", or, as applied to poker, keep a sense of balance.
I would play the START of a BH the same as any other "regular" Tourney, & would not change my game until 3 or 4 Levels in. Then, of course, because of the Head Prizes, we just need to push with a wider range, &, more awkwardly, call a lot wider.
shock horror withdrew money 2 weeks ago not won since now why does that not surprise me beat no matter wat hand lost lost lost lost lost shock Posted by shann
Ignoring the dripping sarcasm, you'll have to explain to me what point you are trying to make, Shann.
Been playing for 2 years now. Low level - up to £5.75 comps. How do I become consistent?. Too often I find myself at a seat with the very occasional play hand, get bored, and splash chips on very high risk draws. Advice please. Posted by jockrock
Tournaments will always be high variance, Jock, no matter how good you are, you will go on long "dry runs" from time to time, even if you are super competent.
If you want better consistency (less variance), I would suggest playing cash games.
Even then, if single-tabling, you may well get bored, & lose your starting hand & positional discipline. To overcome that, play 2, 3, or even 4 Tables - this reduces the boredom factor whch can cause you to "look for action".
hi tikay i was just wondering how you register for legs of the spt tour thanks neil Posted by neilymitch
Hi neily,
Barry has replied correctly. It is highly unlikely that Direct Buy-Ins will be available for Newcastle, as it will sell out via the Satellites. Best advice - satellite in. Good luck!
What has happened to the TSP Classic Posted by BRAHER
It is not running at present, but there's no storm in a d-cup, BRA.
They like to "keep it fresh" & change things around from time to time, & with so many Events to Satellite into, & other new Tourneys, it's a job to find room for everything.
Tonight, @ 9pm, there is a lovely UKOPS Satellite into the Xmas UKOPS Main, or at 9.30, quite a new innovation, a £3,000 Gtd Bounty Hunter.
Hi Tikay, i enjoyed your interview. not sure about the duck part tho... anyway ill get to the point, can we please raise the min sit down from 10 BB to atleast 20 BB on all cash tables, including HU tables. think its time sky did what everyone else has. I also hard a rumour of play the presenter on the 300NL TV tables on saturday nights, coming soon ? sounds like fun. take care old chap Posted by Keysasoze6
Thanks Big Man, & I'm glad you enjoyed the documentary, if not the ducks!
I discussed your question with the Suits, in fact they had already seen it, & debated it yesterday.
It has some merits, & some negatives. I don't think it is correct to say that "everyone else does it".
It effectively thins out the liquidity. I think they will be adding more 200xBB Cash Tables quite soon, though, & these have a 50xBB minimum sit-down.
"Play the Presenter" on the £1.50 £3 Tables? Yup, I'll ask Orford to do that......imagine the waiting list!
Hi Tikay, ive been playing poker since signing up with sky 4/5 months ago and love it on the site and watching the channel where i learnt the game to start with so thanks to sky and the community for all they do to help new players along the poker path. just recently i have gone through a tight for money patch but try to keep a playable BR on my account so ive been making the most of the poker points i have earned over the months by playing the FR tournys which are brilliant for anyone in similar situations but i was wondering why it is only at weekends when you can play omaha FR's? It would be great for people trying to get to grips with omaha and anyone with a tight BR to be able to play omaha everyday using there points. do you think this is a possabilaty in the future? thanks Russ.

Hi Russ,
There's just not sufficient demand for Omaha Freerolls during the week. Omaha is not something that newcomers play, so there would be limited attraction in Omaha Freerolls.
Just a quick hello tikay and welcome back my friend, trust you had a great time abroad and have come back refreshed ready for some more quality work alongside the team.
Look forward to watching and listening to your shows later this week.
i have been playing on the site for 6 mths not very well im a old man and i need to play more than one table how do i this Posted by DEL19
Start with 2 tables and work up to what you feel is comfortable. I normally hover around 3-5 tables depending on the game type and whether I want to take a break soon.
I think you need some sort of structure/system to avoid silly mistakes. I always position myself at the bottom left seat all the time. This should allow you to tile screens so that if one pops up you don't accidentally fold AA etc.
You should also be aware what game you are playing in at all times. This sounds silly, but if you mix up the bounty hunter and the DYM bubble, you will see what I mean. You could maybe put DYMs (for example) on right hand side of screen and MTT and HU on other side.
The more players at the table, the more time you have. I played 3 HU and 2 6 handed tables simultaneously yesterday and it got fairly hectic. HU you have to act in a lot more hands and through more rounds of betting so it is more "attention intensive" than a full ring cash game. You will know when you are overloading yourself when you spend half the time clicking "I'm Back".
Lastly, make sure it suits your style. You may prefer playing 1, max 2 tables - you don't have to do 5 or 8 or 10 tables because others do. I am the personality type that keeps 8 or 9 internet tabs open with different things and constantly shift from one to the other so multi tabling different game types suits me. This may not be the case for everyone.
