How do i get more free play chips? Posted by Bognorfox
Hi
If you are talking about the freeplay tables, it should re-load when you leave the table, and come back, if you are talking about poker points for freerolls, you have to play poker for money so you can build them up.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi churchy scouse_red has pretty much answered this, I do know however, tikay has asked that the take on tikay tournaments be called something else Posted by acebarry10
Simalarly, any tournament that has a celebrity name to attract players,should be re-named if the celebrity concerned is not playing. I was in a tournament last night expecting to be playing against Richard Orford, he was not there, so I felt cheated/dissappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same goes for MTTs that are advertised as being on TV. You enter them, but then find out they are not on TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was gonna make this same joke Nosey Bonk lol, well played.
Come on people, be fair, these people have lives even if they do consist of duck and train spotting, that's not for us to say.
The main thing about the Take on Tikay is that Tikay was the one that designed the format. The same is true of Thews @ 10. I'm sure they try and play each week, but if their schedule does not permit it, then they simply cannot.
Hi, Please could you help me find Dohhhhhhhs stratergy guide for nl4? I have tried searching for it but cant seem to find it. I have been reading in the poker clinic on several threads how good it is. Thanks for your help.
why where u not in your tournement i won caption contest to play u in it and u werent there very disapointed a bit of false advertisment me thinks and then get 2 heads up had double the other persons chips then near enough every hand goes 8/10 for opponent would nt mind if i was getting beaten by aces kings queens buut he was always hitting low pairs i.e 2s 4s 6s just doesnt seem right at all ...disappointed player ;,( Posted by churchy180
Good morning Sir.
I was not Online on Friday evening, & I apologise for missing the Tourney. There are - or were (see below) three TOTTY's each week, & I play when I can, but I cannot commit to them all. Last week I just played the Monday renewal, as at present, though I am on the Site playing most nights of the week, I am mostly multi-tabling cash games.
"false advertisement"? Well the TOTTY Lobby states......
"“This is your chance to take part in Sky Poker Analyst Tony Tikay Kendall’s own personal tournament”.
So it's a moot point whether I am obliged to play it, but it would be wholly fair to say that, by most definitions, yes, I should be in it. To suggest otherwise would be disingenuous.
So, I apologise for my non-appearance.
I have also, this morning, written to Head Office again about this matter, & suggested it is time to drop the "Take on tikay" Tourney Titles, & replace them with generic Tournament Titles.

Hi moon
Part 1 is here, and links to the next part is on this page

Hi again churchy,
I'm really not sure what you mea by this, particularly the enboldened part......
"....get 2 heads up had double the other persons chips then near enough every hand goes 8/10 for opponent would nt mind if i was getting beaten by aces kings queens buut he was always hitting low pairs i.e 2s 4s 6s just doesnt seem right at all ...disappointed player ;,( ...."
When you say "just doesnt seem right at all", it's perfectly normal - it's standard poker, & anything is possible.
Yes, every legit question on this thread gets a reply, except those which ought to be directed to Customer Care, & nonsense "Area 51" type Posts. However, I do need some time to keep up with all the questions, e-Mails, & PM's. Last week alone, & on Sky Poker alone, I received over 200 e-Mails & PM's from players, so I can never guarantee an answer within 24 hours, sorry.
Hi Tikay im new to sky poker and haven't got a huge bankroll at 35 pound I play cash games 2p/4p, and on those blinds almost everyone limps. So when im on the button with a mediocre hand do i put in a raise or fold because i call most of the time and then the rest of the players may hit on flop and i fold with possibly the best hand please can you give me any advice ty Posted by Johny2AA
Hi Johny
As Lambert has, I believe, already suggested, try THIS.
If that does not improve your results at low stakes, nothing will!

Worry not, churchy, I'm quite used to people having a moan!
Hi Tony, On last night`s roller show, you were talking about Vegas and, if I heard you correctly, you said that a lady at the table, holding the absolute nuts, had been warned for checking her hand. Did you actually say that, and if so, could you tell me what the reasoning behind the warning was? Best regards David

Hi pilgrim, how's progress?
Unless my mind has failed me completely, no, I never said that on last night's LIVE Show, but during the breaks, I "featured" (lol!) in several filmed interviews from Vegas this Summer, & I may well have mentioned it in one of those, I just don't recall, I did over 100 of them, so it's hard to recall them all.
However, what I said, or what you THINK I may have said, is totally accurate.
If, in Live Poker, you are LAST TO ACT, & have the actual NUTS, a "check" will result in a warning, time-penalty, disqualification, or immediate shottage.
There is NO POSSIBLE reason, when last to act, to check the abso nuts UNLESS you are colluding with another player on the same table.
That rule, in Live Poker, is pretty much universal, in every Country in which I have ever played, though it is a tough one to impose, if you think about it, & I've almost never seen it enforced.
Many years ago it happened regularly in Gala Notts, where collusion was rife, but the line of reporting goes via the Dealer, & it was self-deal there at the time, & the hand frequently involved the "dealer". Strange that, eh?
