DTD 1 - £200 DTD 2 - £150 DTD 3 - £200 Like the peanuts. Sorted. Posted by Tikay10
Sorted, great Response & Good Idea!!
I have an idea for a New tournament, feel could be good!!
If we dropping The Take on tikay, [bit sad in my view felt great even tho TK was too busy to play regulary]...WHY NOT have a NEW tournie, dedicated to an Avid Forum poster, who generates lots of Forum 'Debate', and energy........I Suggest we have a ....
Hi why is the Monday DTD tourny at 830 called Take On Tikay... as he never plays in it? in fact can anyone remember the last time he played in it? bit misleading...... Posted by djblacke04
Tikay is a sky poker legend I don't see why the name should have been changed for a petty gripe like this! I vote that it's changed back. It will always be take on Tikay to me!
It's not like we're actually paying any extra money to get a game with Tikay himself
In Response to Re: Take On Tikay But he never Plays??? : But then wouldn't the DTD would be called DDD? For those that don't know the history, there used to be four Take on Tikay Tournaments throughout the week (Mon, Tues, Weds, Fri) with different buy in levels. I think they started about 18 months/ 2 years ago. Tikay designed the tournament and when they got up and running he played nearly all of them. He did so for quite some time. Next in our timeline the DTD started by DTWBandit and Scouse Red, which incorporated two deep stacks and the monday ToT MTTs into the forum competition (still IMO the best achievement by any forum members on Sky). If you notice the other ToT MTTs have been discontinued. The only reason the Monday one is still there IMO is for the DTD. And I would surmise the only reason it's still called that is for the DTD. So if you look at it you'll see the run of Take on Tikay tournaments, and his involvement in playing them has stopped really, but Sky have kept that one in with that name for the community. What worries me is that if Sky done away with or renamed the Monday ToT there would be a ton of members, more than likely including the OP, who would be on a thread asking why SkyPoker would break up/interfere with the DTD.

I do remember these mtts a while back but really I don`t care if they keep the name or change it I will play the dtd events anywayz lol but imo i think it would be easier with the dtd1,2,3 easier to find and get more ppl involved on a mon nite
The Wednesday & Friday Orfordable was named after Richard Orford and still is, but I really don't think anyone expects him to turn up every week and why should they?
And don't even think about suggesting a name change for the Friday Orfordable.......cause it just ain't happening.
ps. As djblacke "Black Eye" was from his boxing days, perhaps he should think of a name change lol.
I'm all for the name change. Trying to explain to a newbie what the DTD is and all this teams business while 3 tabling is going to be a darn sight easier from now. And the increased guarantees are great news! Well done Sky and Tikay!
If it aint broke don't fix it...... I dont understand why the name has to be changed at all, in the DTD I can never remember which of the deepstacks is which but I always know which is the Take on Tikay. This country has always named things after the great people as a legacy to bear their name for the future so why shouldnt the poker tournaments on sky carry those names into the future. I can just imagine Sky sports cricket doing a commentary from Somerset & David Gower telling Sir Ian Botham that he can't sit in the commentary box as there is a stand in the ground that bears his name "So you have to go & sit in it"!! I personally think that more tournaments should be named after the great & good from Sky poker eg as Tikay mentioned people like AceBarry, DTWBandit, Scouse_red there must be others over the past 5 years who deserve a tournament in their honour. I have not been playing on Sky that long but its main strength is the good people of the community that play, so why shouldn't they be honoured in some small way. Posted by Woogie8688
Well said my man! who gives a flying........................thing! giving things a name adds personality, and the man sure is that! hope you moaners are happy with your selves
Hey folks...isn't three pages of talk over a name enough now? Its DTD1,2.3 now. Fine. ....maybe we can have a "TIKAY special" tournament in his honour?....... OMG, what have i said?......enough!!!No debate necessary/wanted/asked for/.....ad infinitum
naming it Take on TiKay i can understand why so many people wanted to fight him, If you made it Take on Mike Tyson the abuse would of stopped
But seriously i really enjoyed having him at the tables and it made the event better for it, shame silly people have to spoil it and now he feels he cant play on here because of it. I havnt seen orford play on here for a long while either and im presuming either its because he has a new agent lol or he got the same kind of abuse.

Orford? Er last night Dazler in the timed challenge!
Take on tikay is misleading. Have never seen his name in lobby. Turn chat off crying out loud. Rant over! Posted by wardy123
I believe it to be very misleading and wrong. What sky/tk should understand it is a low buy in that all recreational players can afford and the excitement of it is the chance to come up against him, low bank roll players can not afford to play thews at 10 or play the higher cash games against these guys you watch on sky poker channel
what's in a name? the structure was tikay's brainchild and thousands of us have enjoted taking part! couldn't we pass this rant by? Tikay does a **** of a lot without reward besides if he played more often we wouldn't cash so often! Leave the name and just enjoy your poker!
I think there are always going to be two camps on this issue, but as Tobys issue has now been resolved by Tikay taking his name off of the tournament I am going to close this thread.
Good luck to those who play in the new competition, with as I understand it, increased guarantees, on future Mondays.
