Why is scotty77 playing in £5000 semi final at 500 when he is already in the final at 8 pm ? Posted by horses
A few players do this if there is a higher buyin tourny they know they are going to enter.
Satellties represent good value and are the best way to get in. But if you are multitabling it is easy to forget to buy in direct if you miss out in the sat.
Still have to remember to deregister when you are close to success in the satellite though.

I've no idea, Mr Horses, though Penguin's reply may be the answer. To be honest, it's none of my business, but feel free to PM Scotty & ask him if you wish.
Hi Tikay Hope you enjoyed your break. A wonderful part of the world, I know the road to Skye very well. As you know I enjoy PLO8, but it is still a minority sport here. However I have noticed increased interest (and participation) lately in some of the hilo MTTs. And there is a growing hardcore of regulars. Would it be possible to convince the powers that be to perhaps try putting a small guarantee on a nightly tournament to try to increase interest further. I would suggest that a £3.30 tourny starting around 8pm would easily cover a £50 guarantee initially (although a braver step of a £100 gtee would be better still) I would obviously play it regularly and try to promote it . EDIT 8.25 TOURNY REGULARLY MAKING 20+ WITHOUT GUARANTEE Posted by penguin7
Done, there will be a £5,.50 £100 Guaranteed Hi-Lo jobbie tonight @ 8.25pm.
Hello Tikay, i was just wondering if you could find out if the sky poker tv channel is going to be showing the UKOPS ME semi satellite from the 23rd of december please ? And if so what date and time will it be aired ? They have so far shown 5 different episodes of the satellites from 8th of november to 16th of december, i think you featured on the 1st or 2nd one shown with Redmond Lee. I have set my sky plus box to record all episodes of UKOPS satellites highlights and so far it has recorded 15 ish episodes but it is only 5 different episodes in them 15 airings being shown on a repeat loop i presume. If you could find out if the semi sat from 23rd dec is going to be shown that would be great Tikay, then if its not i can take the setting of my box to record every episode as its wasting all the memory for recording other programmes on my sky box lol
Hi tikay, been playing on sky for a while now, normally small medium cash. however playing only 1 table is quite boring but i cant seem 2 multi table and get all screens in view hence i end up being timed out as the screen flips from table to table. is there a way of having say 4 tables in view at once? how do the players who play 10 or more tables at once do it?
played last nite beat off bingo players all nite eg just sat in sit and go jq flop comes kj7 he bets 200 i call turn comes qme 2jj 2qq i go all in he calls 10 2 how is he in the hand anyway a comes me out him straight wat a joke happens everytime rewards muppets who are clueless happening very often now are these chancers just new players sky likes 2 reward new players yes he had chance after turn but how is he in the hand 10 2
hi tikay could recommend a poker book for me as i would like to try and improve my poker,,i"ve only been playing a few months and couldnt get any worse lol,,i hope to hear from you.
hi tikay wonder if you can help how to i stop getting beat by numpties?i mean the kind of player that calls a raise under the gun with 10-4 9-3 6-2 all suited and 9 out of 10 catch the flush i play pretty tight and raise in poss with good hand premium, hands if you like and still get shot down time after time no matter how high you bet they still call and catch is it my bad play or they just getting lucky but they get lucky alot for instance i had kk in bb raised £1.60 pre was called buy 6-3 suited they catch the flkush time and time again help please
These things happen in poker and you obviously think they happen too often to you. But Tikay will only be able to offer condolences ! And calling them numpties wont help.
If you genuinely want to know if you can stop it happening so frequently, get a few hand histories together and post them with your question in the poker clinic. Lots of guys there will help you out. It may be that you are just running bad at the moment but there may also be some small adjustment you can make to your game.

it wont end. you want these callers, they will lose more than they win. your just picking afew hands were you lose. chin up & youl be ok
got same prob as ralpho have taped 20 hours plus to see primo 3rd dec any chance you put the date on the presenters table so it gives us a clue when it was recorded watched your life history at wet lands me and wife will be going there this summer looks a good day out REALLY enjoy the programes has improved my game. next stage is to play live poker good luck for the new year to all at sky
Although this is my site of choice, I had to move away because I had continual problems with the old browser version. Now that you have a good app, my New Year Resolution was to move back.
I was dismayed when the first programme I watched had you and Redmond Lee disparaging players who sit down short stacked at cash tables. The consensus seemed to be that action should be taken to increase min stacks because they "change the dynamic of the game."
Of course it changes the dynamic - so what? Being more or less aggressive, tighter or looser than the other players change the dynamics at the table. This is the essence of poker. I like to sit with only 20 or so Bigs because I find that many players do not understand HOW this changes the dynamics and this is profitable.
I have often heard you state that people are entitled to play their chips any way they choose. Why don't you defend their right to bring as few as they wish to the game with as much vigour?
The most important differences when you sit short stacked is that you are denying yourself fold equity and future implied odds. Many people (e.g. Trevor Harris ;-) would not wish to make these sacrifices and advise against it. Fair enough. The compensaton is that you also deny fold equity and future implied odds to your opponents. The majority of opponents at modest stake tables do not understand this aspect and will regularly offer favourable odds without realising this.
I started sitting short to improve my tournament play. At the early levels, tournament dynamics are very like deep cash games and it is easy to practice this. The dynamics of heads up are different but most of us seldom reach that point of a tournament - and it can be practiced in heads up cash games.
The part of tournament play where practice really pays off is when you get near to or into the cash but find yourself with a below average stack of 15 to 30 blinds. (Below this, decisions are "easy.") The best way to practice this is to sit short stacked at a cash table and close your mind to rebuys.
Redmond changes the dynamics at the table when he uses a large stack (often several hundred bigs) to put pressure on an opponent. No-one would suggest that this is wrong or that excess chips over a particular limit should have to be removed from the table. Why therefore is it frowned upon to be short so that the big stacks cannot pressure you?
To me this is just bullying by the habitual big-stackers and I am a bit disgusted.
Please respond. I would really like to know why we "shorties" are looked on as second class citizens!
A question for the man himself...A question for the legeng...TONY TIKAY KENDALL...
No more introduction TK sorry. Here is my problem.
I enjoy playing cash but I have a massing leak.I don't know when to leave the table and I do it only when I have gone bust. I sit in the table,start playing and win some money.When I double my buy-in, or generally have some more money to play I become getting greedy, play looser and think I rule the table. What's the result when the ego goes into play? Splash money to other players and end up cursing my game although I started playing pretty solid.
So I would like your advice on this matter.When should I leave the table? When I double up? Should I set a target before sitting at the table and leave when I get to it?
Why when discussing stacks in tournaments do we only consider how many big blinds we have? Surely it is better to use Dan Harringtons "M" theory, especially as the majority of tables are 6 handed on sky poker?
Hi Tikay Why when discussing stacks in tournaments do we only consider how many big blinds we have? Surely it is better to use Dan Harringtons "M" theory, especially as the majority of tables are 6 handed on sky poker? What do you and everyone else think? Thanks Posted by hepburn
It's Paul Magriel's concept, isn't it? (Hence the M - surname).
I guess it's the lack of antes on Sky that means it's not used much.

Hi TiKay
Can we buy in direct for this event or is it online qualification only.
Thanks,

Good luck.
I don't suppose there is any word from the suits about a prize for Salad24 for winning the HU championship is there?
