seem to be less petulent and am usually around the money now thx tikay,ur words were wise,hopefully i can bounce on the rails for the total player.. never know. i only seem to play bad when not in the mood..or drunk..lol.do u find its a game of having to be in the mooood.
hi tikay. my luck is so bad , played in a £11 DYM yesterday, with 4 left i got QQ , went all in, got 2 callers, AA and KK whats the odds of that, obviously no Q on the flop Andy PUCPOUND Posted by PUCPOUND
I can sympathise with that I played in a tournament 6 months ago and was under the gun with K K. I called knowing that the chip leader at my table was raising every pot. True to form he raised 3 times big blind but then another passive player goes all in 65000 chips. I think for 2 mins then decide my best play is all in rather than call 200000 chips expecting the leader to fold. He goes all in as well and the cards turned over . Chip leader shows Q Q and short stack shows A A. The flop comes with a Q and puts me and the short stack out cashing $960 the guy went on to win the tournament winning $63000 ouch.
As an online player for a few years now (sky poker for the last 6 months) I also play in my local pub, but what advice can you give me in playing in a live tournament as i have qualified for Luton. I am looking forward to it but after never playing in a live tournament am afraid i might play a hand which breaks the rules - example - If i want to go all in do I have to state first that it is an all in call or if I raise do I have to state the the raise before my chips go over the line etc etc
Ps Will you be there? and will I get a chance to get my picture taken with Lisa Marie as I do have a bit of a crush on her (I,m sure i,m not the only one though)
Who do I contact to sort out a problem I had the other night?, I qualified for the 1K Velocity through sat and accidentally deregistered from the tourney just before it started, I immediateley re-registered but the money was taken from my account, the original stake also disappeared, I have sent an e-mail to sky but no reply, the tourney was Tuesday night.
Hi Team Leader Tikay ...... (congrats on the 2nd place) ......... Can you shed any light on the formats for event's 4 and 5 ....... Split table and extreme ? Thanks and regards in advance T1 Y.N.W.A Posted by t1poollfc
Heres what sky_dave said
This is coming from me (therefore not set in stone or even 100% correct), but this is what I believe the formats to be:
Extreme - reduced chip stack and faster blinds. Rumour has it this was devised to give Tikay a chance of winning a leg, but I can't confirm or deny that
Split - Basically you're playing two tournaments in tande (therefore multitabling two tables) with winnings from the pair combined to give you your final score.
We don't have them up in the lobby at the moment as they are formats devised especially for the TKOII. If you look through the list, you'll see they came up with Sky Poker's own twist on HORSE:
Holdem
Omaha
Roulette
Split
Extreme
As always, the TKOII format is designed for good banter and a bit of fun so we hope you get into the spirit of it

If you take a look under the tab "My Sky Poker" at the top of the page for "Your Tables" you should show as registered for the deepstack game on the 22nd January @ 8.00pm. Starting stack is 4000 chips instead of the standard 2000 and I believe 10 minute blinds.
Good luck, I hope you do well and congratulations for qualifying via the freeroll.

Sorry to bother you with something that is not your concern but I don't seem to be getting anywhere e-mailing sky poker. Qualified for 1K velocity tuesday and accidentally de-registered from tourney, immediately re-registered and the stake was taken from my account but the original stake has also disappeared! Any pointers on who to contact?, cheers tikay, leapylee

Hi Leapy,
I cannot help in such matters I'm afraid, you need to contact Customer Care, and if you are struggling there, Sky-Rich is your next port of call.
I get in trouble when I try to help in these matters - I'll explain why later, I'm a little busy this morning.
I hope you get sorted, anyway. Have you thoroughly examined your "Account History"? I find it hard to believe that the system allowed you to pay two Entry Fees for the same Tourney, which is, in effect, what you are saying.
IWhat's a pm and how do I find it, thanks Steven Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Posted by leapylee57
A PM is a Private (or personal) Message.
It is a message that only the sender and recipient can view.
You can find yours by going to your "Inbox" which you will find if you click on the "My Profile" link which is towards the top middle of this (and every SkyPoker) page.
