Me too!
Maybe it had a piece of someone else in the photo, who may object, I don't know. Sky are very correct & proper in these matters.
Sky-Rich will spot your Post tomorrow & I'm sure he'll comment as he sees appropriate.
anything yet on the wsop tourneys satellites etc? Posted by organist
Hi Organist,
I side-stepped that one to buy a little time, to be honest!
Some "legals" are being dealt with right now, expect some news very soon.
It'll be all over the site when - sorry, if - it launches. But best not to count chickens until everything is legally tickity-boo. I will explain this more in due course.

So that was your good side eh? I must've been sat on the wrong side! lol In all seriousness, there were two people stood behind you but there's no way they can tell exactly who they were, surely! Maybe, if you cut out the background a bit, you might get it through. By the way, it was a pleasure meeting you and being on the same table.... right up until you turned over QQ against my A 10! oh, and unlucky with those runner runner flushes twice in four hands!

Hi Pod1,
Sorry about the confusion on this one.
could you upload the picture again? (preferably today before 5.30pm) and i'll pick it up personally.
if it is indeed unsuitable i will let you know exactly why... and if it isn't - i'll approve it.
Tikay, is there any way you can get your manhattan up for a tourny? Posted by Seagull158
Hi Seagull.
Well not "automatically", from the Sky Poker software, no.
You could, of course, track your stack, & do a "home-made" Manhatten very easily though, simply by using standard Windows software - in effect, it's just a Bar Chart, or a "stepped graph", which is bog-standard stuff to create.
No good asking me how to do that, but I'm 100% sure many of our regulars could talk you through how to do that step by step.
I've only been playing poker for 4 or five months.I've played in a few freeroll mtt's and recently finnished 106th out of 10500 entrants before that I was regularly finnishing in the top 1000.I won't be a big money player as funds are limited,but I want to play proper poker but don't want to be out of my depth,are there novice tables on Sky Poker and is there anything else I could do or read to improve my game.I watch Sky 865 regularly and it's been very helpfull if not at times confusing,however that might be down to my lack of understanding.Thankyou Dave Head(BUBSEY13) Posted by BUBSEY13
Hi Dave.
There are not really any short cuts to learning poker properly, you have to do the apprenticeship if you want to play the game well technically, & if you do that, you'll enjoy many years of free poker, a terific hobby at no cost.
A few tips.....
1) Play within your bankroll.
2) Read the Strategy sections on this & other Poker Forums.
3) Don't be afaid to ask questions on tihs Forum if you are uinsure about any poker-related matter. Nobody is going to diss you here.
4) Try to work out what suits you better - Cash, or Tourneys - then concentrate on that. Not many can do both even adequately, few, very few, can do both well. Learn one or the other first. You are MUCH more likely to win playing Cash, as opposed to Tourneys, but if your skillset is Tourneys, fine, focus on that, & you'll be OK. Remember, almost ANYONE can or should be able to make steady profit at cash. It's tougher, but arguably much more fun, to play Tourneys.
5) Understand that beats are part & parcel of poker. Peeps who moan about bad beats simply don't understand, or enjoy, the game. It's standard stuff, like penalties in football, it happens. And remember, no proper poker player ever, anywhere, wants to hear bad-beat stories - they are all the same. The clue is when you see the eyes glaze over! Be a little stoic as to Bad-Beats, shrug your shoulders & move on. How we handle bad-beats is a clue to our character, our mettle, our backbone.
Sorry I can't be much more help, but if you have a specific question, I or others would be happy to try & help further.

Trouble is that I would have to go through the hand history and note down my chipstack all the way through What triggered my question is that I played the 7PM Deepie last night and decided to play LAGGY (very unlike me but I had a Stu Ungar moment right at the start and stayed with it) I went from 5000 chips to 800 to 9000 to 1000 to 9500 to 5000 and then on upwards to cash in 4th place out of 50 odd runners. I would love to capture my manhatton and compare it to other tourneys where I have played tight. Sky Poker must have a means of doing them because you show them on the TV channel during the live tourneys.
i left a megs a few weeks ago about how bad i was runing on her you told me to tack some time off so i did and went back to playing on wil liam hill played on there for a week or two and up $5k playing cash mtt sng so fort i wood come back and give one more last time. played in the BH 22pounds last nit going well made a rasie 5 times big blind 1600 with KQ suited on the button big blind calls with Ak of suit and folp come 37Q all of suit i push all in 6200 big blind call turn was 6 river was a A onlt to see my hand played live on tv to see that they was only one A left in the deck got 3 heads so was still up 3 pound pls chage so then when on to play in the in the 9.30 Bh only to pick up AA push all in 1800 to get a call from 47 of suit only to see the folp come down 693 then the turn 7 then the river 4 wicth left me with 130 chips so i just turned off my laptop and went to bed got up to day and play 4 more sng and got riverd on all 4 tables as well as been the bubble on all 4 tables can you plz tell me y this only happes to me on her and not on any over site or when i play live i have had more bad beats on this site than any over thanks better get back to wil liam hill table is about to start Posted by staford03
Hi staford,
It's just bog-standard "variance", which is poker-speak for luck.
If you ever start to suspect that one Site or another is "fairer" to you, then you will be kidding yourself.
Some players talk about the Sky Poker river, or the Laddies river, or the Stars river, but alll they do is make themselves look doo-lally.
The truth is, if you somehow think one site favours you over another, you will get all screwed up in your mind, & it's probably best to go with the flow, & not play on the site that "screws you".
The oddity is that how could anyone even think that one site deals you better or worse cards than another site - how would that actually work???!!!
Tiiiiiiiiiiiikay! Quick question have you seen Blackfish3's profile pic? I think Richard Kellett has switched from blonde and got onto the Sky Poker forum ;-) Posted by lJAMESl
Aarrgghhhh.......
It would be a grim day for Sky Poker Community if he ever joined us. "Grim" being the operative word.....

It would not be that difficult, surely, to keep a track of your chip stack throughout, simply make a note of it after every hand, or every 5 minutes, or whatever?
The software that creates a Manhatten to go up on the Live TV Shows is bespoke to the Studio I think, but I imagine they just create it via simple software which is available to anyone, it's standard Windows graph stuff.
I'll ask the Techie-Bod-Bloke-Chappie when I see him next, & let you know what he says.
In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Thanks very much for your very informative reply mate. Understand completely the difficulties regarding venues but it is such a shame as i know the SKY POKER regulars would love what Ireland has to offer this excellent online site.Hopefully i personally can experience the SPT live event in the U.K some day. It would be great to see you in Dublin's fair city one day and maybe even tangle on the same table. Finally can i just say mate that you do a tremendous job for SKY both on the live shows but paticularly here on the forum and it doesn't go unnoticed. Keep it up pal. Thanks again and take care. Gavin Posted by Torres1892
Thanks Gavin.
I am deffo gonna come to Dublin one weekend, we'll put the word out amongst the Dublin Sky Poker regulars, I'll bring some freebies & stuff, & we'll have a mini SPT. The ideal venue would be The Sporting Emporium, & I'm sure we could get 3 or 4 "private" Tables organised, & have a good couple of days fun poker.
I'll check the Diary & see what I can organise, but we will do it.

Well I've spent most of today getting caught up on here, nearly there now, but I'm PTP tonight, so the few remaining will have to wait until tomorrow.
I've not touched the PM pile though, so I'll get onto them tomorrow, as well.
Have a good evening, whatever your plans.
