In Response to Re: Ask Tikay?click speed tourney tab : Yes, he is on holiday - 2 weeks I think - but returns to work on Monday, I believe. Posted by Tikay10
Excellent I shall await his return. Thanking you kindly sir. :-)
Tikay, Im sure the answer is on here somewhere but cannot find it !!! Are there any plans for Sky Poker Merchandise ? Posted by JPW33
I don't have the inside line on these things JPW, but my gut feel is that this is something they want to do at some stage, but it's a bit down the list of priorities right now.
hi tikay long time since ive seen you but im sure your the bloke to ask!!!! can you see if there will be any sats to enter the £22 deepie u managed to do this few weeks ago with great succes

Welcome back to Sky Poker, Sim.
I was absent yesterday, taking a day off, but I've been on the site every day otherwise.
I'll have a word with the Suits to ask about those £22 Deepie Sats.
You may consider playing the 8.30 T-o-T Freezeout - it's incredible value, with a beautiful structure.
Apparently last Monday they loaded up 5 Satellites for the £22 Deepie, & 4 of them never ran due to lack of interest, so they are not currently planning to run them any more.
Still, the Monday T-o-T, at only £2.20, starting at 8.30pm, might be considered better value, & is the same price as the £22 Deepie Satellite.....
hello tikay i was just in a hand in a £5 bh i had 55 blinds are 50 100 i raise to 300 someone reraise to 500 i reraise allin for 2000 he calls with 6 8 offsuit and wins my question is how can they call the allin

Hi Tikay, Thanks for reply and await your answer, however suprised it is low down on priorities as it is free advertising once the product/garment is purchased, plus the profit on selling those products.

Yes, I understand that JPW, but things are never quite that simple.
Stocking branded apparel is fraught with problems.
Shirts come in different sizes, so adequate quantities of each are required, plus a margin for erior. Suppliers will not supply us on Sale or Return, so that's a risk that has to be stood. Multiply that problem when you think that shirts can be either t-shirt or polo, so that doubles the first problem. Da de da.
When Sky Poker change their Logo, as they do from time to time, the "old" stock is worthless.
But more than anything, it's a volume based business, & it takes a huge turnover to pay for the administration & staff of organising the sale, posting, etc. It can be sub-contracted to a third party, but they charge a fortune, which then has to be passed on, & of course doing it that way means control of quality & such like is outwith Sky Poker's control.
In my other Online Cardroom business, we tried this. It was a nightmare.
So it will come, in time, as the site grows, for sure, but although I don't know this officially, I imagine it will be a while yet.
Come to a SPT though - they give away loads of branded merchandise at most of them. And channel 865 give away loads of it, as free prizes for e-Mails & suchlike. Selling is good, giving is better!

Hi CP.
No idea!
But it's their money, & they can play as they wish. Over time, the worse they play, the better it is for you.
Invert the problem, as Charlie Munger would. (He's "a bit rich").
He'd say....
Should we complain about players being worse than us?
Would we prefer to play players who are better than us?
Against these guys, keep geting it in good, & don't begrudge them the 3 times in 10 they bink. The 7 times in 10 you win will make you a profitable player. He'll be busto by then, of course.
By the bye, he MAY have been a very good player who made the perfect read on you - he was effectively "flipping", & was only a marginal dog.
i would like thank you for your response just one one of thows things i guess. But it keeps happaing even with big pairs and you get a bit mad at times . And i guess it good to winge now and then .
firstly im not complaining about hands because people chase but heres one ive just had kk first hand in tonights 2.5k 8pm and run into aa ive only played around 4 games overall tonight but had it again on another well known site admitted it was a 10 seater the odds on having kk and running into aa are massive to start but twice in around 4 games is silly odds i had a run for around three weeks on here doing really well best probably 3rd in £1500 b/h wed 5th next night and won it on the third night (there was luck involved) but the last week or so no matter wether i get my chips in good its the other way not just this site on others is this the norm
Can you (or anybody really) please explain in very simple terms how I go about joining you on this twitter thingy wotsit doodah?
I really didnt want to get into this (bad enough being a FB addict!!!) but I do wish to follow our players on their progress across the pond so I am resigned to the fact that I will have to 'get with it' and join.

Hi Alan,
Not sure I know - one of the Suits set mine up!
But it's 100% free, I know that. I don't actually know how to work it very well yet, either, but I'm getting there.
Vegas will see lots of tableside tweets from me though, & nothing is more instant than a tweet.
I think you can jon Twitter, set up your own account, simply by going to that page. I think the idea is that you then "follow" Tweeters of your choice. Including, I hope, me.
James Hartigan is a serial, & very interesting, tweeter, too, as are many other Sky players from this Forum.
And I often give away freebies via Twitter, too.
I should add that my Twitter Account is on behalf of Sky Poker. But I mix it up a bit. I try & make a bunch of interesting tweets, then slide in a curve-ball bit of spam.*
* I have been Banned by Mr Sky Big Suit from using the word "spam", so delete "spam", & replace with "enlightenment", please. The thing is, I prefer to tell it how it is, but needs must as the devil drives. So, no spam.
Please remember, though, that you have to elect to "follow" someone. Then you get all their Tweets.
