    Good Afternoon   can you tell me please when buy in's for the live Luton event close
    Posted by BG92
    Hi BG.

    I'm not sure, but I guess it will be when the seats are all sold. It's very likely to sell out soon, & then, next Friday & Saturday, everyone will be clamouring for a seat.

    Buy in now!

    For the time being, satellites will continue, 9.30pm, every evening on Sky Poker, but I doubt they'll run much past Monday, as I excpect it will be close to sold out by then.

    Good luck, & hope to see you there.

    I have just started on this site after moving from another one and think it is a great site. I have had a bit of success so far finishing 6th and 4th in last 2 tournies although i went out with qq on the final table both times against ak and jj so a bit disappointed also enjoy playing the cash games where i was just playing lolufold heads up. He is an excellent player and very aggressive i got very lucky on him a few times but i think i will avoid him in future. niknoy

    Nice to hear someone say they are enjoying it, long may it last. Beware of that Lolufold chap though, he's a mean machine.

    I see from Sharkscope thast you won three straight £40 Head Up games too, that's good stuff, keep it up!

    Hiya TK, I expect the answer will be obvious, but i'll ask you anyway. While playing a DYM  sit n go, first hand I woke up with pocket kings. Under the gun flats 20, I raise to 100 fold, fold, small blind all in fold. I call the all in and go out to pocket Aces. Should I have folded, being so early in the game?

    Thanks.

    Hi Red,

    No way!

    He does not have to have Aces there, &  most times, he does not have Aces there. I'm calling all day every day, & twice on Sunday.

    Take the long view - 8 or 9 times out of 10, he will show up with a small pocket pair, or J-J, A-K, A-Q, or even a complete airball.
     
    If all else fails, you can always do what Thewy does - bink a set.

    Call.

    It appears there was a problem with the entire site which caused it to shut down for about 5 minutes.  Seems to be running OK again now though.

    can you please tell me why sky poker rewards such bad play in the bounty hunters?
    bounty hunters are nothing but poker for jokers

    Dya know, I can honestly say, there has NEVER been a stage in my entire poker playing life that I have ever had one of these rants about how 'its all fixed'. I really just can't understand that kind of mindset, why can't people understand there are some basic laws of probability in play.

    If Man Utd are 3-0 after the first half, and they're 1/500 to win, that doesn't mean it will NEVER not happen, it means it's VERY unlikely, but one day a team will come back to draw 3-3. Nothing is a 100% safe bet otherwise bookies wouldn't give you a price on it.

    Me personally have been going through a bit of a bad patch, been playing loads of HU SnGs and for the last 2 days have lost count how many times people have flopped the nut straight at the same time as me flopping top 2 pair or a set, but I know it's never gonna last (hence why you play small enough stakes to ride out the bad patches)

    SKY. A NAME YOU CAN TRUST...................OR CAN YOU. THEYRE SOFTWARE FAILED DRAMATICALLY THIS MORNING AND THEY HAVE MADE THE DECISON THAT THEY WILL ONLY REFUND PEOPLE THEYRE BUY IN. NOW I WAS IN SECOND PLACE AND WAS DOIN RATHER WEL WITH A LOT OF THE CHIPS THAT WERE IN PLAY. I SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON THERE AND HAVE NOT ONLY BIN A CUSTOMER ON THERE FOR A LONG TIME BUT ALSO HAVE THE FULL SKY PACKAGE WITH ESPN AND HAVE MY INTERNET AND PHONE BILL THROUGH THEM ASWEL. THINK ABOUT IT. U SPEND YOUR MONEY TRYING TO DO WEL IN MTT'S AND SIT N GO'S ECT BUT DONT RECIVE ANY MONEY WHEN YOU DO, DO WELL. WHEN I WENT ON TO THE CHAT EARLIER SKY DOMINIQUE WAS RUDE AND OBNOCTIOUS AND DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO HELP WHATSOEVER. SKYPOKER IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE AND I WILL BE TRYING ONE OF THE LARGER POKERSITES AND SUGGEST SOME PEOPLE DO THE SAME. IF THEY CAN TREAT A LONG SERVING LOYAL CUSTOMER LIKE THIS THEY WILL TREAT EVERYONE LIKE THIS. I WILL BE CANCELLING MY SKYPACKAGE ASWEL AND MY PHONE BILL.

    You might aswell have written them last 2 posts in Chinese for the amount of people that are going to understand that gibberish, breathe man ! I suspect it wasnt an A star in GCSE English for you. If you cant take getting beat you shouldnt play poker, these things happen, it evens itself out atfrer time. Thats all you hear on this thread lately is people moaing about bad beats and its a fix and its getting boring. Go down to your local casino and play a tournament or a cash game and you will realise that it happens all the time in live poker and people hit on the river all the time, thats poker, sometimes if you take the risk it pays off and you hit, and sometimes you dont and the other players cards hold out more often than not. People seem to think that because this system of poker you play here is fixed because it is computerised, if you think that then why play ? Nobody is forcing you to play.

    I'll have 500 on that !

    Question for Tikay, regarding the new timed tournaments.

    Is there any plans to have the same sort of tournies , but with a standard MTT prizepool?   e.g  
    1st  (most chips)   £80  
    2nd (second most chips)  £50
    3rd   £35
    4th   £20 
    regardless of "exact" chips.

    Thats class, did you put that together Noseybonk ? That brought tears to my eyes listening to it, funniest thing ive heard in a long time, wait until Tikay listens to that. By the way i am still none the wiser to Shanns launguage of chioce, but its a bit easier to understand in audio than in the original written version lol

    Good afternoon Shann.

    Just give me a little help here - did you raise pre-flop? This may have made all the difference.

    I have to say, Shann, that I can't keep replying to Posts like this. I had a quick look at your previous Posts, & they are all much of a muchness.

    On the 23rd December you Posted.....

    "....great nite on sky again bh aj suited all in had 2 cos not won a hand again shok beat off bingo caller sky loves game over quik make more money wat a joke sky is getting a bad name wonder wy dont say sour grapes same every week and wen i did win would not let me withdraw said i had not deposited enough site joke told off pro leave sky alone bad site...."

    On the 24th December you Posted.....

    "....sit ad go jj would u b live it 4 players him aa wot a shok gave me jjj great gave him aaa i was shoked wy me do u thik sky want me gone i wonder even players i play cant b live it sky is corrupt if u complain u shot not won in weeks but tika will tell u that cards site a joke yes me again ...."

    I've had a good look at all your Posts, & I'm starting to get the impression - it's just a hunch, but not much gets past me - that you may not be entirely happy with Sky Poker.

    I do hope your fortunes take a turn for the better soon, be it here, or wherever you choose to play your poker.

    Take care now.
