Hi Tikay, Re Blackpool SPT. Just wondering if any decision has been made as to how the prize fund will be split viz-a viz head prizes. think i saw this asked in a thread a while back but have not seen or heard anything since.
(As 1267 has copied and pasted his complaint from last night's show thread, I shall do the same with my response...)
To quote The Joker in 'The Dark Knight'...
"Why so serious?"
For me poker will always be a recreational pursuit. As such, I like to have fun while playing. That's why I chose to sit at a low stakes 'Action' table last night.
Did I do some funky stuff? Yes. Could this be perceived as splashing around? Sure. However, only one hand was "played badly on purpose" and was intended as a "joke." This was part of a long-running gag on channel 865 about tikay's attitude towards pre-flop limpers. I'm a great believer that one should take any and every opportunity to tilt tikay!
To be fair to the old fella, he immediately identified the hand as a "level," but James A. (bless him) soldiered on, analysed the hand and, justifiably, tore me a new one.
I don't believe I (or Tommy, for that matter) "mocked" James A. Sure, a couple of times, I questioned if he knew he was watching an 'Action' table (where the small blind and big blind are both 30p), because I was surprised he described a 4x raise as a "significant over-raise." I would like to point out that the producer in the gallery was monitoring the chat box and was frequently relaying my comments to Richard and tikay in the studio, giving James A. the all-important right to reply. For the record, I would also recommend applying the sarcasm filter to 90% of what I write
I took great delight in James A. seeing TommyD at his worst and drawing the conclusion that he's a giant fish, based on two or three hands. It always amuses me when hands are analysed in the proverbial vacuum.
However, given the difficulty of his brief, I thought James A. did an excellent job. How could anyone not learn ANYTHING from his advice? In fact, I thought the whole show was excellent from start to finish (my contributions notwithstanding). Rich and tikay were both on top form. Shame about James's rapping.
Finally, I may have jokingly insulted TommyD in the chat box last night. This is because I know Tommy reasonably well and know he doesn't take my comments at face value. If anyone else at the table, or on the rail was offended, I apologise.

any idea when the vegas wsop sats start, and would it be an idea to do sats for some of the other wsop side events other than the main event such as the shootouts?

Hi G,
An announcement is likely within days. Everything is ready to go, the satellite structure & everything, just a few details to be ironed out. Assuming the details are sorted, expect SIG within days.
this site is the most cheating site i have ever played on i am amazed it is allowed to operate i will try to get my results into the papers to warn others

Hi, I'll try and post some info for you.
Generally you can only enter this via a satellite tournament on Sky Poker which will probably open soon after the Brighton / Glasgow SPT is complete. Then online satellites will run nightly until the event is full.
This is the info from LAST YEARS Cardiff SPT. Link HERE.
Most of the information there will be relevent to this years event. But a new player briefing would be posted closer to the Cardiff SPT in the Sky Poker Tour section of the forum.
I don't suppose you're any nearer to getting them prizes for Salad24 and Splashies for the HU comp? I do remember you saying you'd sorted something with the suits.
Also, I was in the process of setting up a second series of the competition, just ironing out the fine details, was wondering if you could let me know if we could have any prizes so I could put it up in the thread

Hi Paul,
Sorry, I thought this had been sorted - I am tied up with other stuff today (offline most of day) but willl sort it tomorrow.
Tikay Have you announced the date of the next UKOPS yet? I may have imagined it, but I thought you were going to announce it a few weeks ago but I never saw an announcement Cheers Doobs Posted by Doooobs
Morning young Lady........
The date has not been announced, though I have been "teasing it" a tad.
It is quite taxing selecting the correct week, so as not to clash with too many things, but it will be "quite soon".
PS - Any idea when Easter is this year? Just curious....

You mention "your" diary on another thread. Where can I find it as I wouldn't mind a read?
