Looks like I'm redundant - I could not have replied better!
Don't forget, too, that the last C4P period for payment pre-Xmas ends next week, & the fastest, & eaiest, way, to clock up some extra C4P quickly is to multi-Table cash.
I don't have the calculations to hand, but I reckon an evening 2 or 3 Tabling Cash Games equates to about a week of Tournaments.
That's my plan until Nov 30th, anyway. Might see some of you there!

You under-estimate me JJ - I'll be mostly plying Omaha, so it's quads or better. Just flat call on the end too, you never know, there may be a Royal out......
I might add a weird tale here......
As I have been in Vegas for most of the month, I returned home knowing I had almost no C4P this month, so decided to 2 & 3 Table Omaha cash each night this week. I've managed to add 2,000 points already - & won £400 in the process! Happy days.
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
Hopefully I'm not being too simplistic but are you actually asking how to open two tables on your computer at once rather than strategy to play two tables?
in a game of hi/lo omaha i had 6 low and was beat with a pair if aces. can u explain y i lost plz. Posted by mazmic01
Hi Maz,
It is not possible to win the Low with a pair of aces. The high, yes, the low, no. You have misread the hand. IF he won the Low, it was because he had another qualifying Low card with one of his aces.
If you can reproduce the H-H, we can talk you through it.

Hey Tikay,
I've very rarely ever played hi/lo and it was a long time ago but is my thinking above right? It is possible that no-one would have a low hand isn't it, if everyone has lots of pairs etc? And if so, does that mean the Hi wins both pots.

Correct - there is not forced to be a Low, in which case, the High "scoops".
For a Low to exist, the Board has to contain a minimum of three cards 8 or lower, & the hand needs to have two "non-matching" cards 8 or lower.
If we hold A-9-9-J, & the Board comes 2-3-4-5-6, say, we do NOT have a low, or even a straight for that matter, we have "no Low", & a pair of Nines for the High.
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 i have deposited £4980 and withdrawn £5350 which makes me £370 up over all.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.

You should probably give me a go on HU, i also play for fun
I play a bit of 4nl and enjoy it, but have been finding that I struggle to play because people will call with almost anything. I was wondering whether it would be better to learn at something like 10nl, if my bankroll supports it?

There are players at NL10 who play worse than those at NL4 and vice versa, in fact I've seen plays on Mastercash nights at NL300 that is the spitting image of NL4. When you realise that people calling with rubbish is a good thing is when you'll forget all about the badbeats that you occasionally receive.
Is there anyway/anywhere on the site where we can read the notes made by other players on our own style of play. I feel access to these notes would help me develop and adjust my game where appropriate.
Hi Tikay, 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. Hope you enjoyed your break. Paul Posted by Lambert180
No, not yet, but the point you make has been anticipated.
*****WELCOME BACK***** 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. Good Luck again!! POKEY2011 (Chris Jones) Bristol Posted by POKEY2011

Hi MisterB.
I doubt there is much difference between NL4, & NL10, to be honest.
You must not fall into the trap of thinking "but they all call anyway", you need to think outside the box. Use the power of position, be patient, & play your hands strongly. If peeps wanna keep calling with bags of spanners, out of position, over time you will win a fortune. Embrace it, show them some love!
As a rough guide, how many hands per orbit do you think you play?
I see the same complaint again & again, that NL4 players are "hard to beat because they call a lot". I don't buy that, you just need to devise a strategy to combat it.
Play 2 or 3 Tables, but be more selective as to starting hand criteria, & position, & play your hands strongly. You'l be alright.

In a word, "no"!
It would be improper & inappropriate if we could read what notes other people make about us, that info must remain private to the authors. I cannot imagine any Site would allow otherwise, to be honest.
I would be in a world of pain if people could see my notes on other -players, especially Dylan, for example.
Hi TK sorry this post may be long winded lol Right i seem to be going through some bad beats that have made me question my play. My problem seems to be the 1st phase im either sitting tight and not getting any hands and eventualy getting frustrated and in course tilting, or im deciding to play aggressivly and getting called by bad hands that hit. Although the thing i seem to be doing lately (i know its a big NO NO) is limping as i find if players let me in pots cheaply im getting the hand volume to accumilate chips. Once i get to the middle phase im quite a solid player but its just getting out the crowd. Is jamming and doubling up asap a good option to get ahead to play my game a good idea (as im considering it lol). Also is there any online focused top books you can recomend me put on my list for xmas lol i tried doyles 'super system' but found it out dated. Also i know you should never move up a buy in when on a bad run but being mostly a low buying player i find the times i have stepped it up iv done ok as there seems to be less speculative calls and players seem to be more easy to put on a hand. Thanks for your time keep up the good work. Even when im not playing the site im always watching the channel Aas i think the teams top quality happy xmas to you all in advance!!

Thanks Tikay for the informative response.
I only play the most premium of hands, so sometimes I hardly feel like I'm doing anything but folding all the time !
I know it's all about position but if I've got anything but premium on the button and it's folded round to me, I would struggle to play with anything less because I always seem to get my fingers burnt.

If no-one has a low hand, then I think the high hand wins the full pot.
