Hi Tikay, I recently playing next to you on an Omaha table. You said (to my surprise) that it was your favourite form of poker and had played it for years. I myself am terrible at cash tables in general (omaha especially), so I typcially stick to Sit and Gos.
Was just wondering some of the varience you've encountered playing PLO over the years. 10-50 buy in downswings etc? Also any ridiculous pots/beats you'd witnessed.
Sky poker is a complete and utter fix... lost over £100 in two days with all my hands been a straight or better, and the other player hitting on the river EVERYTIME..... Absolute disgrace
ive come from live to internet with good results im getting to heads up in mtts alot but struggling with the speed aspect even though im a very good heads up player any tips on how to adjust? not sure if im just getting unlucky but any pair or big a or k from the button ive been shoving(10-15bbs)but finished 2 a couple times only started on sky a week or so ago but have won much larger mtts on 888 and didnt have this trouble.cant complain as im still winning but always trying to improve thanks mate.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : 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. I hope that is to your satisfaction. Posted by Tikay10

Scroll up, go to "My Sky Poker", then "Poker School" - On the left hand side, under "Strategy Articles", you'll find 3 blogs titled "Beating low stakes cash", parts 1-3 respectively.

........Well I never !!!......I've never noticed this before........lol......I must be blind as a bat !....nice one PingU.
Tikay, just wanted to now if i played this hand correctly. Blinds were 40/80, I had $2500 in middle position with AK os, a guy raised $180 in late position (He had $3200), i 3 bet him $540, he called, the flop came ah 9h 3h, i raised half the pot he went all-in, i called, he had as 9s and won with 2 pair. I didn't think he had 2 hearts but was the all-in call correct?
Ill start with saying that every time i have been watching Sky poker on TV the guys give you abit of stick regarding your dress code! Well my Nanna love the jumpers ect. Is that a good thing because shes 78?
Any way, Im kind of new here and im loving the BH tournaments and i play alot of them. The thing is most of them are not huge purses so i loose interest after playing them for 1/2hours for a £50/£60 win. Im sure you see my point. I know that if i go in the bigger stakes then the prizes are beter of course but im not sure if im playing the right for me. I rate myself as a player but ive not been playing online long. Its totaly different that sitting down at a table and playin poker. I play the casino tournaments when i can. Ive made 3 this year winning 2 and came 3rd the other time. What do you think would be best to play here for some one like me who is more used to playing around a table thn online? Should i stick to the cash tables or carry on in the tournaments? know you cant play my game but any advice would be taken on board.
ive been playing poker for 2 or 3 months now and im doing pretty well im top in my pub poker league and im doing quite well on sky poker mostly getting in top 10 but im struggling on how to value bet please and could you give me tips on how to improve my game and to progress through tournaments

Hi Tikay New to Omaha Not sure Hand Ranking? Played a Pot Limit Omaha £1.10 Sit and Go. I lost both hands and don't know why. Here are the Hand: Hand History #450532388 My Hole Card Kd 3d 9d 8d Flop 9c Qd 2d Turn 3c River 5h Vilain: 9h 7c Qs 7h Win Two Pairs, Queens and 9s Hand History #450533856 My Hole Card 6h 6d 10h 6c Flop 3c Jd 8s Turn Qh River Ah Kc Ac 2h 2c 8c 10d Qc 7h Win Two Pairs, Queens and 8s If you could some light, I thought I had a Flush the first hand and Trips on the second and both should beat 2 pairs. Thanks in advance Posted by Bonapar813
Hi Bonapar
It look like you are making the mistake a lot of new Omaha players make, this is by no way a slur on you, you need to use 2 cards from your hand, and any 3 of the community cards to make the best hand, I would also suggest you dont call with say 4 Diamonds in you hand, or 3 6,s it cuts down the chances of hitting
When are the UKOPS highlights shows filmed, and how can I find out which ones will be on and when? Wondering if the one I played in will be televised or not.
Why is it whenever I find myself with a decent hand and I raise 3 times the bb, everyone around the table calls with junk or even raises an all in to which I call. We flip, I've got AsKs, AsQs etc and 2 other guys have flipped 8d,4d and jh,2c. On more than enough occassions for my liking these 'players' have hit the flush, house, trips etc and knocked me out with, in reality, terrible hands. TBH I'm getting tired of these BINGO players that shouldnt even be involved in a pot this big pre flop.
last 9 tourney ak called off 75 all in out how can u justyfi that happening wat a joke sky joker who would call all in 75 and win lol only on sky unless in the no
