    Is skypoker fixed? skypoker makes money from the rake. So it is in skys interest to get as much money into the middle as possible, hence cooler after cooler, cold deck after cold. Never seen so many quads or straight flushes or royal flushes as skypoker.

    Hi Tikay,

    Train question as I follower too. The Mallard still holds the land speed record for a steam locomotive. Do you think the NRM in York fix her up and take another run at the record?

    Hi Tikay

    You mentioned on 861 the other night about you can,t use promotions in conjustion with other promotions

    For example i was setting up tables using the 5p action
     and 10p action during the happy hour while also being the early bird

    I realise i won,t get the 3 seperate points boosts for each promo but do u not get the extra for playing on the action tables during the happy hour?

    Thx

    Hope you are well

    Ps _ any news on rezible tables ?

    THx

    Paul

    hi tikay  Im starting to play the game razz my freind tried to teach me the basics but still dnt fully undersand the game i played a £10 tourney didnt really know what i was doing tbh didnt feel i have a edge any help thanks

    Morning IDCU.

    Sky Poker do not offer RAZZ, so my advice would be to stick to what Sky Poker offer......;)

    Seriously, I don't think RAZZ translates very well to Online play. There is a Deuce to Seven RAZZ variant, too.

    The Nuts in RAZZ is A-2-3-4-5.

    In UK Dealers Choice games, "London Lowball" is usually played, where the nuts is 6-4-3-2-A, but this is played as Pot Limit, whereas RAZZ & HORSE are Limit.  

    "RAZZ" is the "R" in "HORSE" Tourneys, another format which does not translate well to Online play, imo.

    Morning gmd.
     
    I would think that is highly unlikely, due to Safety Certification problems, most especially as to the boiler & running gear.

    I was at NRM last year, & had a good look at Mallard, but she does not excite me much, mainly, I think because of the colour. Steam Locomotives should NEVER be powder blue, that is oh-so wrong, & should, preferably, be either GWR Green, maroon, or black.

    Not sure I like her "streamlining", either, it all looks a bit wrong to my eye.





    Now, this IS a proper Steam Loco......my Grandad Angell was the driver, & my Dad the Fireman, on this legendary loco. Later, my Dad married Grandad Angell's daughter, but that's another story. ;)

    Completely random question but seeing as you've travelled around the UK quite a bit I figure I may as well ask if you've ever visited my neck of the woods. Ever been to the lake district? If so, any good memories/what do you think of it? Favourite national park?

    Hi Tikay - My question has already been touched on by MP33 (yesterday) and probably by others in the past, but I'll ask anyway. I've been playing on the site for aprox 3 years now but one thing that I think would be a great addition, well for me anyway, would be the option to make the tables larger on screen.  Are there any plans to introduce this functionality?

    Thanks
    Stephen

    Hi ice,

    If you mean, will Sky Poker be available via your TV Set again, as it used to be back in the day when we first began, then the answer is "no" I'm afraid.

    The Online landscape is ever changing, & with great speed. What was innovative a few years ago, is old hat now. Even Ceefax & Teletext have gone!

    just a thought tikay. Would sky put on a tournament for Team Diamond members if there was enough interest from other members of the team?

    Hello Mr. Kendall.

    I know a great place for having a nap, scarborough train station it has the longest station seat at 140m long(but you knew that already) lol.

    Whats your take on the fiasco that is the new tender on the west coast mainline.

    P.S does seafood really taste better from seaside shops, because i ate some prawns on blackpool seafront & they were not so tasty lol
