Hi Tikay, hope u r well. Sorry dont mean to get on to you, as think its unfair sometimes, but... When is re-sizable tables goin to happen? Posted by DEL560
Afternoon Del.
Yes, I'm reasonably well, all things considered, thank you. Everything is getting a bit creaky & wonky, but it's only to be expected.....;)
Resizeable Tables. (This reply applies also to MP33, & Stevlar, & many others who have asked).
Yes, resizeable tables are coming.
When?
Well thereby hangs a tale.....
I have always tried, on this Community, to try & explain facets of how the Business works, what it does, & why. Few poker players have experience of having "the other side of the Table" explain & discuss these things, & that is partly because I don't believe almost any other Online Poker Site tries to do this.
I thought I could help break the mould, I really did, by giving the Clients an insight into what will happen, why, & when. Shared knowledge aids understanding.
So I frequently explained all these things, in more detail than any other Site would.
Most things happened, sometimes later rather than sooner, but everything was for real. Sometimes they get cancelled, delayed, modified, changed, dropped, or the Business messes up. It happens, make enough decisions & some are bound to be wrong.
It just happens that business decisions are always dynamic, in that they change repeatedly, in the light of all sorts of stuff. The Online Poker landscape changes SO rapidly, (think of "Tablets", "Fast Poker", changing traffic levels, da de da) so priorities need to be chopped & changed in the light of changing circumstances, & resources need to be re-allocated.
All of which is fine & dandy, & perfectly normal in any well-managed business.
So, a while back, I gave dates as to when resizeable tables would come. And, I guess (I never asked, because I serve the business, not run it), priorities changed, & it was delayed.
I get kept up to date though with the changing timelines, every single week all these things are reported on by the Business, & we discuss them openly. But I no longer give expected dates on the Communuity, because when the dates move, a lot of the feedback, (but not all, not by any means) in my personal opinion, is not very fair, or balanced. Some (again, certainly not all), of the Posts commenting on these matters are extremely rude, & often overly sarcastic. I don't think that's necessary, or very fair, to be honest, because it's obvious I would never be able to reply in kind even if I wanted to. Which I never would, as I don't see what rudeness or sarcasm achieves. It's good, constructive debate I was hoping for, and shared knowledge, which, surely, would be a wonderful thing for everyone?
I'd LOVE to keep discussing these things as & when they develop, but it's clear I made a big mistake in thinking that discussing the finer detail would be a positive step for the poker community as a whole. My bad, I misjudged it badly. Not the first, or the last, mistake I've made, not by a long chalk.
So, I'm sorry I cannot give you dates, but it seems, on balance, & in the light of experience, better that way.
Your patience & loyalty, as is that of all the ever growing number of players on Sky Poker, is genuinely appreciated, even though neither side of the debate, perhaps, express ourselves as well as we might. We shall keep trying though.
It would be wonderful if we could live in that "ideal world" we all dream of!
I hope that helps explain a few things. Happy to continue to take any questions on any matters, but I just need to be a litle more circumspect in some of my replies I think.
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? Posted by percival09[/QUOTE]
Hi Percy,
You live in the Lake District? Lucky you!
Yes, I've been there many many times, camped there, too, in my younger days. I adore it, & the older I get, the more I love the beauty of nature.
Favourite National Park? Too tough that one - they are all stunning, but in different ways. Snowdonia, Peak, North Yorkshire, New Forest, South Downs, Brecon Beacons - think of the contrast in "beauty" amongst those. Compare, say, Snowdonia to Peak - completely different, but both achingly beautiful in different ways.
They all have one thing in common though - lots of grass, trees, rivers, lakes, all of which depend upon water, water which is delivered by rain. And yet when it rains, most of us have a little moan about our weather.
And while I'm having a wistful old man's musings on our strange world, have you ever thought about what a miraculous plant grass is? Can you even begin to imagine a world without grass, & how life would be so different, & poorer, without it? Any yet most of us take it for granted.
Rain, & grass, totally dependent upon each other, & we could not live without either.
Funny old world, 'innit?
PS - Excuse my little oddities, but I love the chance to muse on these things now & then. Better off not asking those questions, then you'll be spared my rambling replies.
In Response to Ask Tikay? : Hi Tikay can you explain why the side event tonight has more chips and longer blinds than the main?? shouldnt the main event as described have the better structure since there is a £20k gtd regards Carlo Posted by boatrace
Hi Carlo.
More chips & longer blinds does not necessarily equate to "better". It does to you & me, maybe, but some folks like faster, sharper, quicker stuff.
During UKOPS, they tried to "balance" the Events, so there'd be, say, a fast-paced Bounty Hunter for the MAIN, & a Roller for the Sidey.
In those circumstances, the structures would need to be exactly as they were. There would be no point having a Roller with 2k chips & a 5 minute clock, any more than a BH with 10,000 chips & a slow structure would make any sense.
Different products appeal to different players, or "different strokes for different folks".
The near impossible trick of an Online Poker Room is balancing all those things.
I hope that, overall, you enjoyed UKOPS. I never got to play any, but I definitely got a buzz out of it, watching those Guarantees every day, & sharing the "sweat" with the players.
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 Posted by seppe
Hi seppe,
Ther West Coast Main Line Tender?
You decribed it pretty well imo, but it's easy for us to knock & diss when we only know one side of the story. Everything happens for a reason.....
I happen to believe thsat Government & Business don't mix very well. In fact, I don't think thry mix at all, they reuire different skillsets, Governments are slow & lumbering aninmals, whereas businesses need to be more nimble, & address different priorities, so my personal view is that Railways should ALL be private, & the Government stop interfering. We don't need a Nanny State to look after us. Or maybe we do.....
Seafood taste nicer at the seaside? Lol, it's all in the mind. The mind is a very strange thing indeed, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Have you ever thought about peer pressure? Now there is one powerful thing. And yet you cannot touch it, or see it.
can you please tell me if you are Angela Burberry on facebook,as alot of my m8s on facebook think you are and if so why not be tikay..............confused.com

Thanks for your reply Tikay, totally understand. Yes think the easiest thing for ppl to do, in any walk n life, is criticise.

Hi Tikay, I hope you are well,
Players have been asking about resizable tables since the beginning of sky poker, and as far as I am aware, every other site has them. A lot of players hate mini view, mostly because it is rubbish! Personally, I think rude and sarcastic posts on this subject, whilst not actually achieving very much, are nevertheless understandable and justifiable. If I was allowed to post exactly what I think on this subject, I have no doubt you would consider my post rude and sarcastic. I know it's not your fault Tikay, so there is no point whatsoever in being rude towards you. If, however, I were to talk to the big boss man, I would tell him in no uncertain terms what I think of Skypokers priorities! It is, imo, the most frustrating and annoying thing about this site, and it is easy to see why people say rude things about it. The thing is Tikay, a lot of people simply do not understand why it seems to be so low on the list of priorities. I know, and you know that it's not as easy as it appears to be with the technical issues involved with flash player, but when a player can easily resize every window he/she ever comes across on the internet and the computer, it is hard to see why it cannot be done on sky. Players have been watching 865 and seen yourself and James Hartigan saying it's just around the corner for over a year now. As you probably remember Tikay, I have been very vocal, and sometimes rude about what I considered to be the shortcomings of the technical team, and I remember thinking " how ******* hard can it be to resize a window?"--- It just seems so simple Tikay, and so flopwit stupid that it can't be done!--- I can understand exactly where these rude and sarcastic posts on the subject are coming from.It is unfortunate and unfair that some of them are directed at you Tikay, But Skypoker do, imo, deserve every rude and sarcastic post they get on the subject, whether they achieve anything is irrelevant in this case, they are born from pure and extreme frustration at an issue that Sky appear to think dos'nt really matter very much. People sometimes need to vent their anger and frustration.
The terms and conditions page should be amended as follows---
Condition 1---- players must be over 18
Condition 2--- The lack of resizable tables is not Tikay's fault, it's our's, and we are very, very sorry indeed!
ps, as an indication of how strongly I feel about this issue, I can tell you that I post very rarely these days because my laptop is broken and I have to copy and paste the letters r, u and ybecause the keys don't work--- lol--- try it !
Keep up the good work Tikay, you're an oasis in our poker desert!
Hi sorry for bothering you, I was playing in the £55 bounty hunter last night, and was very lucky to get almost 158k ahead and was double the second place with only 10 players left I then got booted and by the time I got back on to skypoker I had 16k left and finnished in 5th , I was so annyoed but when ever you call up and ask what the problem was you get told it was your end and there is nothing sky can do about it, I admit I was playing some of the best poker I have ever played and was hoping to reach the top 3 at the very least and I feel so so cheated any advice would be welcome
Thx for the response on resixable tables - sounds like a complicated one
I was just wondering - I heard you mention about the APAT series last week. I,ve started playing live myself a lot more now and have been plating the nuts league for a few weeks. I also just started playing the Redtooth leugue. I,ve never played them before but i was wondering what you thought of these leaugues and any experiences of Regional finals or National Finals and any negatives or positives about them as i,ve asked afew friends and different ppl say different things about each
I,ve played in 4 SPT,s and am trying to get to Luton, but the advantage with the nuts leugue and redtooth leaugue is they are both within a mile of my flat. Do you think this is the best way to (apart from the SPT,s of course) get better and are there any other live leaugues you know of which i wouldn,t have to travel to far and is within my BR - which as you probably know i,m a micro-low stakes player.
Any advice on any tours would be greatly appreciated - EDIT : esp after i,ve just flooded the bathroom floor while writing this post. whoops
Tikay,,,, i'm sure this has been asked / mentioned many times but you constantly preach about raising pre flop with premium hands. just out of curiosity, do you play much on sky 2/4p nlh? try raising in poistion with ak suited and see how many callers come along...... it's getting more like facebook zynga poker lately. thanks Posted by 1281
When you have AKs, do you want people to call with worse hands or fold them? It can be more swingy, but chances are when you make TPTK, you're still in good shape to be in front, but sometimes you just gotta learn to C/F AKs when you completely miss and it's 4way.
Would limping cause less people to call and see a flop? The trick with your big hands is to find the biggest possible amount people will still call with their weak hands, I find 5x (20p) is a good open size at 4NL, and add 4p for every limper

Hi mr Kendall.
Sowi forget my silly ak vs q9 post that was just abit of fun.
On a more serious note, The mind its avery interesting topic. from the age of 4 till about 16/17 i was a big watcher of the wwf/wwe as kids do lol. But afew week ago i googled "were are they now wee". I came across a interesting documentary about a wrestler who killed his wife & kid. The documentary was about why he did what he did. They came to the conclusion that because he was a wrestler(even tho its all scripted) his head as took such a poundin over the years it was like he had alzeimars(spelt wrong maybe) & the brain of a 85 yr old person so couldnt have know what he was doing. They also mentioned as it was in american the incident happened that its regular in american football. Now these were scientist speaking about this, but ive only heard of 1 incident in the uk with a rugby player taking his own life afew years back. Whats your thoughts.
dear Tikay could you thank everyone in the afternoon league for me . It is a very enjoyable game although i havent cashed ,the other players are very friendly and offer good advice, which is helpful as i am still a novice. thank you rainman397

hi Rainman.....a fine example of the community at it's best that tourney. Ran so well by Mike (woogie), you say you find the advice useful with friendly players, could i suggest a couple of things, .... head over to the team talk section of the forum, have a look around and see if you fancy joining any of the teams, where you will get any help you need fgrom fellow teamies, if this isn't for you no worries. Also could I suggest you try the Forum DTD tournies every monday night ....iut's basically more of the same and all the regulars in the afternoon league play it, and believe me we will make you most welcome.
Mr K do you think you only get to be a better player by playing better players up the stakes as small stakes is pot luck ??????????????? Posted by MUTTZNUTZ
You got to beat the levels before you move up. All them bad calls you really want them as ul win long term. Just grit yr teeth & if yr good enough ul b laffin

They came to the conclusion that because he was a wrestler(even tho its all scripted) his head as took such a poundin over the years it was like he had alzeimars(spelt wrong maybe) & the brain of a 85 yr old person so couldnt have know what he was doing. They also mentioned as it was in american the incident happened that its regular in american football. Now these were scientist speaking about this, but ive only heard of 1 incident in the uk with a rugby player taking his own life afew years back. Whats your thoughts.

It is a very enjoyable game although i havent cashed ,the other players are very friendly and offer good advice, which is helpful as i am still a novice.
