In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : I cant agree that "the logic is defeated" when the 12.5% rate only applies to DYM & BH up to the £2.00 level and at £3.00 and above they are 10% and as I don't play scary's the fact that they are the standard rate is of no consolation. However, I will trouble you no more on the matter but if you do hear anything an update would be appreciated. Dumfries by the way so not much chance to play live apart from shoddy (but fun) pub games. PS - I also asked for a poker joke, doesn't matter how bad. All the best, Darn Posted by Darntootin
Thanks Darn,
Well you said that it was "taxing the small player", followed by.....
"Why is it that the rake for £2 DYM & BH is 25p/12.5% wheras the others (Scary etc.) are 20p/10%."
So it's not taxing the "small player", it's taxing (if that be the word) the DYM-ers as opposed to the Scary-ers - or, if you see things differently, the Scary-ers get it cheaper! But either way, they are both £2 Comps, & one is charged more than the other, but small players play scary's too!
So I don't know the reason, but it's certainly not "taxing small players". I know you don't play Scary's, but Scary players don't play DYM's - so its 6 of one & half-dozen of the other, as I see it. And VERY hard to please every player, to be fair.
So to me, the logic is, let's say, "flawed", but no matter, I'll ask the question, & let you know.
Dumfries - Galloway Forest Park is heraven on earth!
Poker jokes - sorry, the only one I know is Rich Orford.
just played the quali for for wsop at the quarter finals stage @ 21:00 19/03/10 on sky bet was 11th top 10 qualified had pocket 7,s pushed all in the person was last 11 out of 11 i was 10/11 he called with pocket 9s i hit a 7 on the flop then he runner runnered and hit the straight. I ended up 11th a bit sickened but lifted £24. Do you think i should have pushed or waited was it good luck bad luck
Alrite tikay...soz for knocking u out in the bounty hunter,.... a bit ambitious i kno, pretty bad really lol o well jus poker i guess. I do tend to trash talk in the chat box but mean nout by doing so......Really i dont LOL.
Anyway i got 3rd in the end, god played bad on the final table need to improve my late stages tourney game but made some money though!!.
Ur a great sport Tikay and thanks for ur inspirational words "go on an win it" LOL........... so close!! maybie next time il take one of these tourneys down.. looking forward in clashing with you on the tables again until then gl.
I never buy into a tournament for more than 2% of my bankroll. With this in mind, what sort of sattelites should I be buying into? The same size as the other mtts I play? Or should I be playing in sattelites for mtts that I am bankrolled for anyway?

No - you played it exactly right, 100% for certain. Forget the binked set, & the runner-runner escape, it's not relevant. You were unlucky to run into a bigger pair there, & that's all their is to it.
It hurt more because it was bubble time, but think glass half-full - you got £24 quid back for £13, so you can play another as a Freeroll!
Good Luck if you do play another. The road to Vegas is not meant to be an easy one, but it's worthwhile if you get there. A little pain along the way is all part of the journey!

Very well done Mr Whoami on getting 3rd, I'm delighted, really. It was a quite spectacular piece of runner-runner double-binkage, that hand, outdraw of the week in fact! Some peeps get cross about those, but I thought it was really funny, there's no point getting upset, it's standard poker stuff.
The chat box trash talk? The problem is, it's hard to translate a tongue-in-cheek comment into writing, we can't wink, or smile, when we write, so peeps take it serious, as written. After being outdrawn earlier, you typed "JOKE", so I could not resist my comment when you double-binked that spectacular hand!
Thanks for the Post fella, you were huge fun to play against, I'm glad you cashed, & I hope we share Tables again soon.
Tikay, I never buy into a tournament for more than 2% of my bankroll. With this in mind, what sort of sattelites should I be buying into? The same size as the other mtts I play? Or should I be playing in sattelites for mtts that I am bankrolled for anyway? Posted by Wilhelm
Good question, & I'm not sure I know the answer.
I suppose as long as you don't exceed, in aggregate, the 2% rule when trying to Satellite in, it's OK.
But I WOULD try for Tourneys ABOVE your 2% rule if using the Super-Sat route, definitely - it's a free shot at a bigger Tourney.
By the way, if you go to the "Play My Hand Request" thread, you'll see that one of your hands has been recorded for showing on Channel 865.

Hi Tikay, Have you ever played or seen Arizona Holdem? It is played against the dealer and the player wins with a pair of tens or higher. If you have come across it what are your thoughts?
Played a hand in last night's Primo that I took a bit of abuse for - the hand id was 244041431.
The guy I knocked out and his mate gave me a bit of a noising up when I reached the last 20 - they both said I had played it wrong and I was a lucky so and so, bad player etc.
They were both 'up' players according to them - whatever that means.
I beg to differ - I know I got very lucky but I don't think my strategy was wrong - what do you think?
I put him on some face cards and didn't think he had either a six or a nine so I thought my five's were good so wanted to take him out of the pot by going all in as I had him out stacked.
Did not want a call but got one - imagine my horror to see his weak six kicker from the ace had made him a set of sixes. However this turned to immense joy as I made the boat on the river with another five.
As I said very lucky - but he who dares and all that.

Hi Seagull,
Good morning.
As far as I am aware, Arizona Hold 'Em is exclusive to Ceasars Palace, in Vegas, & as such, licensed by Harrahs, who own Ceasars & many other Vegas Hotels & Casinos.
It's a "table game", that is to say it's not player v player, & a zero sum game, as in true poker, but it's the player against "the house".
As such, the odds they offer are truly obscene, it's a licence for the Casino to print money, basically.
I believe these are the odds they pay.......if you win. (google was my friend, here).
Royal Flush:
250 to 1
Straight Flush:
50 to 1
Four of a Kind:
25 to 1
Full House:
12 to 1
Flush:
10 to 1
Straight:
8 to 1
Three of a Kind:
3 to 1
Two Pairs:
2 to 1
Pair of 10's or better:
1 to 1
What do I think of it?
I'd rather play cash againt sparce, quite frankly, I'd lose my money slower!
Not sure how often this happend but was playing in a £2 DYM and three players in same hand had a full house. Game id was 243993408 what are the odds of this happening and is it unusual or extremely rare? Kaymac Posted by kaymac
Hi Mac.
I assume we are talking Hold Em here, its quite normal in Omaha, & Stud.
Yes, pretty unusual, though I do not know the odds. Probably less rare than set over set though, which I saw three times at one Live Table yesterday.
It is quite common though - relatively - if the board double pairs - as in, say, Q-Q-6-6-x, as anyone with a Q or a 6 has housed up.
The Board HAS to pair once for a House, of course, and it's pretty unusual for three folks to House on the same hand.
Completely unrelated, but I was in Paris for the WPT which Roland De Wolfe won some years back, & it was, I think, a €10,000 buy-in. FOUR players clashed in Level One - three of them flopped a flush - Nut flush, 2nd nut flush, & 3rd nut flush, 4th player flopped a set of Aces. The Board paired on the River. Ugly stuff.

Thanks for that. I have seen it at Emperors Palace, Johannesburg, which is a Peermont resort. I was trying to find out if they run poker tables and MTTs and, so far, have only managed to confrim that they have 2 Arizona Holdem tables. I think I will keep my distance from them!

You went in ahead, & came out ahead - what's wrong with that?
NEVER take any notice when players complain if you win a hand. They ONLY complain when you win. Would he have moaned if the 5 never rivered? I think not.
Just remember, it's YOUR money, & you can play any way you like. If Matey Boy wants to pay your entry fee, then he can tell you what to do. Until he does, it's none of his business.
tikay would you fold kk in a tourny preflop i normally fold in a 2 way pot on the forth raise preflop if its 9 seated anyway i would like to know your views
