In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hi Patch, Yes. I unhesitatingly recommend playing Deepstacks. These happen at 15 minutes past every hour, & start at, I think, £2.20. There is a lot of luck in poker, & the faster the structure, & less starting chips you have, the more luck plays a part. The Deepstacks have 5,000 chips, & a nice slow clock and structure. Providing you have patience, & are very selective in the first 2 hours as to what hands to play, & in what position, you'll do OK in them if you understand the basics of poker. You can even try a little trick. NEVER Call - ONLY enter a Pot if you feel you can Raise with your hand. It's surprisingly effective. Most people still play too many hands, too - one hand every two orbits (on average) is plenty in the first few hours. Those who play every other hand will never, ever ever, win in the long-term. Play less hands, exercise patience, bet don't call. It's that simple. Good Luck. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks for that Tikay, much appreciated.
I will give the deepstack a go later today and see how I get on.

Are you aware you can block your stats on sharkscope . I have . Always best to hide anything that helps the opposition. n Response to Re: Ask Tikay?:
Hi Tikay Is there any other site that you can check your Poker stats on apart from sharkscope.com Whenever I open sharkscope.com all I get is an empty grey screen. I have tried via IE, Firefox and my own AOL connection and they all get the same blank grey screen. Posted by apollo_11

I finished 3rd, sounds not too bad but only 5 entered!!! I made some loose calls and was probably not patient enough. I will try listen to your advice next time...

Loose RAISES are better than "loose calls".
When RAISING, you have TWO ways of winning. When CALLING you only have one way of winning.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : I'm not sure I understand the question Max. It shows the Hand Description the moment the Flop, Turn, & River appear - in other words, BEFORE you fold. Am I misunderstanding your question? Posted by Tikay10
Yes Tikay, i understand that bit. I was asking if when you fold, pre flop/post/etc etc etc, it could still show your Hand description. A kind of 'look what you could of won if you didnt fold' scenario. Other sites do this but Sky poker doesnt at the mo. I just think those who are learning the game of Omaho would benifit from learning the outcome of their two hold cards down the streets if they fold their cards.
EDIT - Just seen Vince post my answer above but I think the techy guys should look at this for the future maybe.
Hi Tikay. I like to watch alot of poker and particularly like watching John Tabatabai play . I would just like to ask If you have had any experience of him and what your general opinion Is of his style of play.

He's a really lovely guy - & I mean that. Well-mannered, well-dressed, lovely table manner & demeanour.
I have only played him twice, so don't have much feel for his game-style, but he struck me as pretty TAG, with the emphasis on the AG, & he seemed to be very comfy down the streets, knowing exactly "where he was", which is a rare skill.
hi just cashed for the 4th time for team tikay whop whop just wondered if we get any prize for kicking richards backside and whens the next one Posted by taz13
Congratulations on the 4 cashes, excellently done:)

Can Tikay tell me who won leg 5 of the TKO and by how much? Posted by MereNovice
Result awaited Vince, but it's close, although either way, Team tikay will be playing the £1,000 WINNERS Freeroll next Thursday. You can watch if you wish. Watch & learn.

can someone confirm for me this total player do you have to be playing master cash table's or not?
You dont have to be, they can be watching any tables, except Omaha
It does not matter WHAT Tables you play, or what FORMAT (Cash, MTT or SNG) you play, all are taken into account.
It has nothing to do with Master Cash Tables, though results on those would count.
Good Luck.
