TK - have you even been on the Trans-Siberian line? If so, what were your thoughts on it? I'm of Russian descent, and was due to go there with my (now ex) Russain girlfriend about a year or so ago. It fell thru due to a number of medical problems I had, but its still one of my ambitions to go there. Just need to run deep in the Sunday Million one time?! Posted by scotty77
No. The nearest I got was the Moscow-St Petersburg line, on which, only yesterday, there was a quite awful tragedy.
Both Termini are quite extraordinary. When peeps get off the train, they just walk onto the tracks - at the opposite end to the barriers - & wander wherever they want! That'd go down well at Paddington. NOT.
And Moscow Train Station is known locally as St Petersburg, & St Petersburg Train Station is known as Moscow. Because the line goes there. Go figure. It gets well complicated at the Ticket booth.
How do you join or become part of te TKO event? It is too late? Posted by noviceplay
Here's the reply I gave to a similar question I answered an hour or two go Mr Play.
This refers to TKO. I'm afraid it's too late to register for TKO now, but I gather there is a very good chance that a new version of TKO will happen early in the New Year, so look out for that. The winner of the current TKO - Team Tikay I expect - will, assuming Sky Poker decide to repeat it, take on a new challenger in the next Series, just after Christmas.

I nearly did this too, but it fell thru due to an ex girlfriend, as the Soviets refused to let a single 23 year old male westerner in their country (this was in 1989), after my ex decided that she didnt want to go on the train, despite it being her idea . Ended up going to Kenya and Tanzania instead and climbing Kilamanjaro before it became the fashionable thing to do
Closest I ever got after that was reading the Big Red Train Ride by Eric Newby
hi tk as i was made a member at aspers in swansea will i have to bring photo id and go through all the signing in rigmarole again ? thx wayne (delta) 9 Posted by DELTA
Are you referring to Aspers in Newcastle? No, I assume if you bring your Membership Card for Swansea, that would suffice. Check though, as I'm not 100% sure - but that's what all the other Casino Groups do.
As a matter of curiosity, LCI-owned Casinos (ALEA's, Rendezvous's, The Empire etc) do not require Membership - you just walk in.
Hi tikay, and good morning (ish) How did you go in your live game last night please? Posted by acebarry10
Huge fun, incredible luck swings (both ways), lost a tidy penny, sat with long-standing friends the entire night, wonderful. May Blog it up later. Played a Tourney, & then 4 hours of £5 £10 DC.
Despite what the blinkered Online grinders say, Live poker is the absolute nuts if you want to enjoy poker, real poker with real people. You don't get puerile name-calling in Live Poker, either!
i have been playing on the new master cash tables and find the 4p 8p table are a comfortable level for me to play at but when i move up to the next level my play that has done me so well no longer works i dont know how or what to do to learn what im doing wrong on another note my tournment play is good to excellent plz take a look at my hand histroy and help me to improve my game my user name is jason 2012 and i have just won a small tournment on tuesday morning and i think my tournment play is good plz help me inprove my cash game thx tk
1) Cash games. Can you tell me a little more about what is going wrong at the higher level Cash Tables please, then I, or others, may be able to help.
2) Hand Histories for Tourneys. I'm not able to see or access these for other Players, & if I were, there'd be **** to pay, as I play on this Site a lot, & I'd have "inside info".
Not much help, am I?
I'll try & answer the Cash Question if you feed back to me.
Words of wisdom would be most kind, (and from any other kind soul)
Ok took up this game a few months ago LOVE IT.
Here's my strategy
I am reading every book I can get my hands on, love the maths behind the game
I am using the DYM tables to build up my bankroll, that's going along fine.
I then set myself Bankroll targets, If I have a this much in the account then treat yourself to a MTT Bounty Hunter or the like. Took a while but have just made my first couple of final tables on the MTT, came 4th in the £400 BH last night.
Anyway, the Question ( At last I hear you all cry)
Is this a reasonable way to build up my experience and bankroll, or can you maybe suggest some other ways I can improve
Look forward to hearing your replies, or to be told to sod off and work it out for myself, which ever you prefer

Hi
Yup, its an absolutely acceptable way of building your bankroll, I would maybe suggets having a try at a deepstack or two, these are a very good way to learn poker, and the players will help you with your poker, if you have the patience, just remember that varience is a fickle thing and can easily go for you as well as against, so dont be afraid to drop down a level should you start to lose, and dont play above your bankroll limit
sky_santa n sky_alf it said that they are playing in the 8pm open whats the open Posted by logzik
Hi logzik,
Welcome to the Sky Poker Forum.
"The Open" is the generic Term we use at Sky Poker for our 8pm Main Event each night, though sometimes it's branded "Promo", "Bounty Hunter" or "Double Chance".
Tonight is a pukka "Open", it starts at 8pm & is £10 + £1 to enter, with a Guaranteed Prize Pool of £4,000. PLUS whatever Sky Santa & Sky Alf stick in the pot!
This is the second week of TKO and the tables i`ve been watching alot of players are away,I can understand that some maybe held up but some of us who were to late to reg are a bit put out by this.Is there away that players reg for different rounds of TKO so that those of us who did`nt get the chance can show our support? Thanks anyway.
I'll answer the various questions tomorrow, "able" included, but I'm all-in for today, & I gotta drive home tonight, a 2.5 hour trundle up the M25 & M1.
What a grand night it was again tonight - that TKO thing is massive fun. And I fancy it's 2-0......
