Hi Tikay Any plans to do a points vegas sat as done previously got 17500 sitting there lol Trying to win a vegas seat but no joy so far but will be going over there anyway so probably see you at the venetian deepies or our fav 7pm caesers donkament ;-)
Your constant moaning about others moaning is getting tiresome.
But seriously, I think there is a difference between moaning about bad luck and going crazy on other players/dealers/the site. The first one seems quite natural and I would question what the point of playing is if you don't get upset at losing or get a high from winning. The second one is completely unacceptable.
Wiiiiii I knocked Carlo out of the SPT I think I deserve a prize lol
But anyway, I still havn't used the Thewy's entry from the HU comp, still busyish and don't know when I am free on a Tuesday evening... hopefully it doesn't have an expiry date!
Great commenting at Cardiff lol at least my exit hand was a good one
This is a long shot and whilst I doubt that you will be able to help personally, you may be able to either point me, or send this post to the correct person.
Approx 2 months ago I changed my e-mail address, and obviously changed it in my SkyPoker settings.
Since then I have not received any of the 'standard' e-mails, such as informing me when the TSP play off was, my monthly 'you have earned x amount of C4P this month', or any other e-mails from SkyPoker.
I e-mailed customer services a few weeks back and they looked into it and said they'd done something and to leave it a couple weeks and if nothing changed then to get back in touch.
Well nothing changed so I done that today, and was asked to go on live help to speak to someone. After a very quick chat, she told me that everything was fine your end and therefore there was nothing else she could do, that's it.
So is that it, am I just supposed to put up with it from now on, and if I miss a league stars freeroll, or any other tourny because I was not informed then so be it. I'm also slightly annoyed that I am missing out on the promotional e-mails that Sky sometimes send out, and that I might be missing out on something through no fault of my own.
Like I say, whilst I very much doubt you'll be able to help directly, but if you could point me in the direction of someone that might know a bit more about this kind of problem and deals with these kind of things I would greatly appreciate it,
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Another great Post, Proffy. That holiday you have booked looks a once in a lifetime jobbie, I hope it goes well. Fun in poker? Well you know my views, & I've always held them, & no point in me repeating them again. I'm reasonably bright, but I can't figure why some get so snarly & moany, & take it quite so seriously. Why EVER would any pursue a hobby which upset them so? I have a Forum interest elsewhere, we began 7 years ago with the motto "Poker with a Smile", & it was because I feel so strongly that recreational players - 99.9% of us - should enjoy our poker, that, along with 2 others, I helped found APAT, for which, I might add, we got ripped to shreds on every poker Forum in the UK. Now, not so much.....;) I've recently been approached with a view to getting involved in a new poker venture, which will be primarily about reinforcing the "Poker is Fun" message, & as long as it does not conflict commercially with my role here, I'll do that. I must say, I do find the constant moans of a few a bit tiresome, but you know how it is, life is divided into two broad types, the moaners & the doers, the glass half empty v the glass half full thing. Takes all types I guess. Thank you for your Post. Posted by Tikay10
Hi Tikay,
Many thanks for taking the time to reply, never mind just reading, my long posts. Two things really....
Firstly, i sent a post last week to a programme when Carlo was on asking for Sky to film this bet he has of eating 50 poached eggs in 2 hours for £10k. the money goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital which is really generous but Carlo seems such a nice guy anyway. When it was brought up the producer suggested filming it in Cardiff that weekend. The look on his face was a picture, Tikay. It was a real 'tell' !! An all-in moment as Carlo was in shock. If he could not make it for serious, family reasons i hope this post isn't taken the wrong way. I'm sure he won't chicken out.
Secondly, a couple of posts sent in on other night were awarded with post of the night by your mate Richard and won a free entry into the sky sports bounty hunter on thursday. Its outside my normal range of T's for financial reasons. I've satellited into it twice through getting through two satellites each time. However, on both occasions i could not pull the trigger as i found a lot more 4 bets etc early on. I came away thinking i hadn't done justice to myself or really had fun playing, which should be the real intention. So Tikay, here's where you come in...... I'm going to put a sticky note mext to my monitor with a couple of inciteful but 'gee-up' comments. So give me something to write on it that will give me 'courage/smile/whatever/make it fun'. Go on....my tournament is in your hands...ha!!

I have this same problem, when I live chattede to CC they said I had turned off email notifications, I checked my account and the box to exclude yourself from emails is NOT ticked, when I told them this they had no idea what was going on
Good afternoon Tony, Was just wondering if any of the top pros use mind coaches/gurus with their game? If so do you think that they would make a good guest on 865 to help people get into the right frame of mind to play and deal with any issues affecting their play? i.e. Balancing family life/work life with poker , dealing with tilt issues , etc. If this has already been done , my apologies as i've only been watching / playing for 4 months. Regards Mick
Noticed you said to comment on the 'points for cash widget' i think its really good and saves time, trouble is ive been priority +3 months, so it saves no time for me at all, maybe could have both displayed, or change the +3s to the correct one.

Good morning.
Yes, fair comment, I'll pass that upstairs.
I think - just guessing - that the "problem" is that it would be quite a big piece of coding to run two parallel systems, & the % of Priority Players versus non-Priority players is hugely different, with only a minute % of players bering "Priority", if that makes sense.
Anyway, I'll whizz it upstairs, thanks for the feedback.
Was gonna stick up a thread abuot that DYM challenege that you said you might be able to find some goodies for.... just wanted to check before I advertise something that isn't the case.
Should I say there will be prizes for the first person to do it, or the first 3 to do it or what? Obviously I won't mention what the prizes are until you've done some routing round in the cupboards

Afternoon,
agreed, its unlikely it will happen, but havent said anything in a while :-)
on another note, i actually won the primo not last sunday but sunday before, havent won a tournament for a long time, prob because i never play them... but it wasnt televised. i asked in the tv section on this forum but was given false information on time it was on. so i didnt get to watch my hour of glory. willl it ever be shown ? Keysa wants TV time !
i play sky poker a lot but i am thinking of changeing to other poker site that has tv covarage as i play a lot when it says its on tv but it never is you always show repeats and when you show repeats its all about sky poker team players
why why why do sky poker not do what they say if they going to show poker show it dont talk all the time show it the same nite not 3 days latter all i see is replays and its all about sky poker team players even on cash you show how your own players do not normal public

Good morning John.
What site would that be?
I'm afraid it is not possible to show every table, Tourney, game, or player, there are not enough hours in the day, and not enough money to finance what is, after all, free for you to view.
Hi Tikay, I'm new to the forums. I really enjoy watching you on the online link to sky poker tv. Shame the shows are repeated so much though.... my question is non poker related. I always laugh when you talk about the Smiths, What music do you like? I can see you liking Frank Sinatra and big band music ;0)
I didn't know where else to say this and i thought this would be the best place.
Hi Tikay, i have a suggestion for the site in general.
Basically, i have trouble keeping track of my history/ profit&loss and things.
There is a competitor (i call them competitor but they are shoddy to be honest) that show the TOTAL P&L for a period (you can choose this yourself) and you can also choose to show it for the different sports/poker that you bet on.
Maybe this would be good for Sky as we could easily track our progress and if we could choose to single out P&L for sit n go's or MTT's or cash that would be awesome too.
I don't know if this may be a bit of a bad question? I recently posted in a thread relating to spornybol and someone closed the thread. Now I don't know, or cannot relate to the circumstances that caused the differences between sky poker and Martin. But the thread was closed. I for one have looked at the thread and there was nothing in my opinion that would cause sky to close the thread. The players on sky in my opinion, were entitled to express their views on the banning of Martin from the forum. Could you, or anyone else, please enlighten me as to why the thread was closed.
I suspect it was because, it was a 'dead-end' thread (as much as I liked SpornyBol). Sky Poker posted on there and said they're unable to discuss people's individual cases publicly, so the thread was going no-where and would have invariably reduced down to a few people (not you) just doing the usual 'Sort it out Sky' nonsense.

Thanks Paul for your take on this, I was just intrigued by the discussion closed thing. As I said in my original post, I do not have all the information as to the reasons for Spornys ban, but I have a general idea. I do not want to address that particular issue.
I still feel it may have been a bit premature, as it was still on the 1st page in general poker chat at the time. I did wonder if it was because someone had posted on behalf of Martin in the thread. Otherwise, why not just let it run its natural course, as is the case with the majority of threads.
