In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : 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. Posted by 1267
Thanks 1267 - may I call you "1"?
No, no plans at present, as far as I know, but down the line, who knows?
Timed Tournaments are brand new to Sky Poker, & have been extremely well-recieved so far. I suspect the suits thinking here will be "let them settle down for a month or two, see how they pan out, & then, if they need some added zing, or extra bells & whistles, adjust accordingly.
One quite important facet of the way they have been structured is that they pay a lot "deeper", (thus less variance) & I would imagine Sky Poker, for now, would wish that to continue.
As to the future, well, who knows, all things are possible.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : 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 Posted by ralpho1127
I'm not sure it would, given my position, be appropriate to comment further, Ralpho.

Hello Tikay, i wasnt looking for you to comment on Noseybonks audio recreation of Shanns rant, i just said wait until Tikay listens to it, i will just presume you have listened to it, i didnt want clarification that you had listened to it and found it hilarious, i just presume you would of. It was not a question for you Tikay. Just thought i would clear it up incase you thought i was trying to get you to leave a comment about the audio, i know you are in no position to start publicly laughing at such serious posts that are left for you. You can just laugh at them privately TIKKA. lol

Hi Ralpho,
Yes, all understood mate. I perhaps should have added a smiley.
Any chance you could have a look at this thread, and maybe ask some of the people upstairs to have a look as well? Quite a lot of players seem to be unhappy with micro stakes not being included in happy hour and the rake in low stakes tournaments.
I'm afraid it's "rather difficult" to keep everyone happy, but as I stated on the original thread - once it was bought to my attention - I sent it upstairs.

I prefer 12.
I'll certainly look forward to playing more timed tournaments, and hope to see 22 and 33 games in the lobby soon ?

I think I'll keep it formal then, & address you as Mr 7.
There is already a £22 Timed Tournament - "T-T", every evening @ 22.45.
There are no plans - that I am aware of - to introduce regular, scheduled T-T's at higher buy-ins than £22.
I am not party to any more information on this than you, but if you think about it, there is not likely to be much demand for T-T's above £22. That is how it would seem to me, anyway.
However, keep your mincers peeled for the occasional "special" Big Buy-In T-T, (bigger than £33......) with plenty of satellites etc. Coming to a Sky Poker Table near you, soon.
hi tikay, ive knocked nlh on the head & ive really got into omaha mainly 20pl im loving it but i aint seen you since my quad 10s beat your ace f/h come back lol. bit of a brag i know. just a fun post ment to be light hearted
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) Posted by Lambert180
great analogy Paul ...............and just to prove it does happen, it happened at Anfield when the goal machine that was Razor Ruddock completed the comeback after we went 3 down. although funnily enough I do remember people saying Souness must have pulled an Ace out of his sleeve at half time lol

Mr Charlie!
Post taken in the intended spirit, Sir, worry not. I doubt I've ever got needled by losing a hand of poker in my life, I leave tilt to the kids.
I've taken a bit of a break from the nightly Online Poker since Xmas, as I have just moved house, & I need to sort the place out properly. I've also been getting up at 5am every day, as there's a lot going on in my day job with Sky Poker, so I'm a bit wrecked in the evenings. I keep an Online Diary elsewhere, too, & I've been very busy on that since Xmas, writing daily articles & all sorts of eclectic stuff, (golf, football, betting, wildlife, the properties of concrete, etc) which is a bit of a passion with me, I adore writing about this & that.
I'll re-commence playing Online next week (am at Luton all this weekend), & I'll mostly be playing Omaha Cash, on 3 to 4 Tables per night, just 10p-20p, & 25p-50p mainly. Playing low stakes Omaha cash is terrific fun, I really enjoy it, so worry not, my money will be at your disposal again soon.
Many thanks to everyone who helps me with the replies, & keep the questions coming, please.
Please note that the thread occasionally attracts "rant" Posts, "why is there a pause before the river?", "there are too many flushes on this site", "why does Sky Poker hate me", "I got done by sky again, a rag ace beat my Kings" type nonsense.
In future, I will not be replying to any of these, & if they suggest that Sky Poker, it's Staff, or me, are in any way dishonest, or acting improperly, I will have them removed. Enough is enough, & all these libellous remarks are not acceptable.
hi tikay, i realize you can be v.busy but when you get a chance could you check pm. plus also i put thread up gen chat under the heading, who do you think Luton SPT, would like to know who you think.

Thank you Martin.
Yes, I have seen the PM, though not had time to reply, as I have been in the studio all day.
It's a grand thread, & much appreciated, but we already have some special SPT Luton "giveaways" planned, in conjunction with the Live Update, so it does not really add up to give prizes for your thread as well.

I need to pop outside, don't wait up for me, I may be a while.
