Hi Lurcha, & thank you for the question.
VERY interesting hand!
On the Turn, you were (about) 23% to win, & Matey Boy was 77%, so you WERE a dog.
But it depends what "price" you were getting to Call. If you were getting 3/1, yes, absolutely, it's a Call.
But I'd view this a different way. He only had 2,500 behind, you had 12,000 behind. In that scenario, in a Tournament, I'm never folding, & I deffo snap-call.
is there anywhere i can get poker tuition? i understand the game a little and want to study it to better my chances.. i dnt read to well hence need some face to face tuition if possible.. Posted by scfc_jack
That's also an interesting question.
There are a few organisations that sell Poker Tuition, but they are not very good, are extremely expensive, & one or two of the recent additions to the Market have been decidedly "dodgy", advertising well-known Pros alleged to be connected with the Site when in fact they are not. These people should be avoided at all costs would be my advice, if I were giving tips.
I'm only capable of teaching poker basics, but I do that competently, & I do it quite a lot, but I keep it largely under the radar. I did two one-on-one sessions last week, & both resulted in much improved performance from the "pupils". (I'm doing another one this afternoon, actually). Just low-level stuff, basics, really. To plug the obvious (to me) leaks in these peoples games is very satisfying, especially when I see their results improve instantly. I do not & will not accept money for these little sessions, but geography & time limits how much I can do.
Where do you live?
I "have a dream", you know. Both for Texas & Omaha basics, I'd like to run a series of little face-to-face "workshops", around the country. There would be no fee, I don't want money for it, it's just something on my bucket-list.
I enjoy helping newcomers very much, & I less & less enjoy the rudeness & ill-mannered vitriol I see on Poker Forums these days. Maybe it's time I changed direction, & did more face-to-face stuff.
I heard it was 2 tables at once, 1 NLH & the other PLO with your finishing place in each contributing to the overall prize fund............ But that might of just been someone having a guess

hi tikay thanks for your thoughts and yes i came 4th in 400pound bounty hunter
Dear Tony, do you think it would be a good idea, to play more tournaments, and sit and go,s, for points, with sky taking antes off you in points, for eg, 50 point sit & go would cost 75 points, and so on. some players might not have much money, but have got points. yours sincerely Deborah Reid, debs 08, user sillysammy.

Hi Shauny.
Dealing with the 2nd question first......
I don't know if you can see it anywhere on Sky Poker, but I find it easiest to take a quick look on Sharkscope.
But please never Post links to Sharkscope, OR C & P stuff - graphs & suchlike - from Sharkscope onto Sky Poker, as they come out as Live "Links", which are non-compliant.
If it helps, last night's Promo highlights were.....
Does any1 know when the leauge freerool is played! qulified this month and dont wanna miss it! Thanks for you reply in advanced Posted by adam26
Hi adam
The freeroll will appear in the lobby and a list of players are usualy put up in the announcements section of the forum where you will be able to register
Every thursday down my local we have a poker night, 12 of us, only small stakes £5 entry.
A couple of weeks ago the following happened and just wnat your advice on what we should have done. I'm pretty sure we came to the right out come just hoping you confirm it.
We was on the 3rd level of the tournament, preflop theres a raise, a re raise and 2 callers.
The dealers burns a card, deals the flop, theres a bet followed by a fold and a call. Dealer deals the turn and to his horror the next burn card is face up.
He must have somehow done this when he was shuffling the cards, now what should happen in this situation??? 3 ideas were put forward.
1. Player 1 who had called the bet on the flop, wnated to continue playing, saying both players had seen the card so no advantage was given (the flop had given him trips)
2. Player 2 the guy who bet out on the flop disagreed strongly with this and his idea was the 2 players left in the hand share the chips between them.
3. Player 3 said who had folded on the flop disagreed with both and said all chips should be returned and the hand replayed.
This was followed by lots of arguing between the whole table and in particular player 1 and the dealer.
In the end much to the annoyance of of player 1 all chips were returned to the players and the hand was replayed. This tilted the guy and about 6 hands later he was out.
Was this the correct outcome?
Would it be the same outcome if both players had been all in?
Should the dealer have been penalised? (only a "friendly" game but would he have been a aproper game)
Tikay, I have heard you say before that you don't put much stock in poker books (in fact i think you've said you had never read / owned a single one). Someone was asking earlier about the best book out their and as a sugestion i mentioned they may want to check out some of the training sites that are now available. Now i don't use these myself but am considering joining one of the larger well know sites (i'm sure you've heard of them but don't think i can put their name on here).
Can you tell me what your thoughts on these video tutorial type sites are? Have you ever been on them to see what they are offer? The obviously cost money to use but do you consider them a more worthwhile investment than say a series of books by a well know former WSOP champ which would cost similar
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Off the top of my head, err, no! They did explain it to me, but I've plum forgotten. I'll find out (or someone will reply for me) & get back to you. I trust you are a Team tikayer? Posted by Tikay10

Right, an hour or so to try & get up to date with these Questions, & I'll start with this one from Chris.
We all learn in different ways, but poker tuition books dont cut it for me. That's not to say they won't work for others. Personally, I think A-B-C nitty poker is the only way to survive long-term in poker, & we don't need books to teach us that, but because it works for me does not mean it will work for everyone.
Of the Video Tutorial sites, only one gets the tikay tick, because it's far & away the best, & most professional, available - Cardrunners.
A new segement of the Market has just been formed however, these are poker academies & such-like, where a bunch of Pros are (allegedly) on hand to teach, & students pay as much as £300 per day to be taught. Of those I've seen, I'd avoid them all like the plague. One of them advertises a whole load of Pros who are alleged to be their mentors, but I know for a perfect fact that some of them have nothing to do with the site whatsoever! The site teases you with their names, but it's all just puff & pisch.
The other way to learn is to study, read, & contribute, to Poker Hand Analysis Boards on Poker Forums, though, again, be careful who you listen to, but there are usually some real perals of wisdom in amongst the sea of chaff. The knack is being able to seperate the pearls from the chaff. Or even the wheat from the chaff.
