Some cash tables ranging from 10 and 20 to 50 and 1 before going the pub for some live play babyyyyyyyy. See ya at the tables, any banter is a bonus.....
Tonight is my first night in that I'm going to spend playing poker in a week or so, will be nice to get back into it. I'm usually a Cash/DYM grinder, but for a change of pace I'm going to play some MTT's tonight:
8pm £250 Community Freeroll - Look forward to seeing you all there and hopefully busting Sky_Rich 8.15pm £350 Deep Stack - Hopefully Orford will be involved in that 9.40pm £250 Guaranteed - Usually run okay in that tourney 10.20pm £300 Guaranteed - First time playing this tourney, same structure as £250 though and a field around 75 expected so some good value in that, hoping for a deep run there.
I usually play 3 or 4 tables at a time so if I bust out of any of the above early i'll probably play some DYM's as well. Tonight will only be considered a success if I cash in at least 1 of those tourneys, and have a />50% success rate at the DYM's (if I get to play them).
EDIT:- Also playing the 8pm £3+£0.30 buy-in £250 Guaranteed which should get a field close to 100. Total outlay tonight (without any DYM's) is £18.70 (inc. registration fees), which can't be too bad for 5 tournaments of a not-too-awful structure.

It does not sound like you need much advice!
Try watching the Show a few nights, there's some good advice on there, though swerve my nights!
Also, try & look up the "Sky Poker School". This was only made a month or two ago, & featured Poker Tips, Advice, & Strategy, by Marty Smith, Neil Channing, & Roland de Wolfe. Roland has since won a WSOP Bracelet, in Vegas.
And the Producer of that Show, a young lady called Aisling Collins, took the advice from the Shows she Produced & went & won the World Ladies Poker Open, & $50,000 to go with it!
So there's a lot of Learning Resource here, you just have to spend a little time learning the ropes.
If you have any specific questions, Post them on the Poker Strategy Board, & the answers will come in thick & fast. Our guys like to help fellow Players - they really do.
Hi Tikay or should i say tea boy, was on your table earlier but got put out just before you. How you get on with your deepstack? i'm in 1k Bounty at the moment and was down to 75 chips. back up to 6k so doing well now.

I ran T-T smack bang into Q-Q, & the Flop came Q-high. This is, on the whole, a bad thing.
You were grand Table company. I play poker for the craic, & to have banter with the guys in the Chat-Box, so yes, I hope we share Tables again soon, I enjoyed that.

You are most welcome Mr Bandit Sir.
Sky Poker have just finished a very successful UK Tour, & so until they decide if & when they will do another, (fingers crossed!) I can't help with your question.

I live in Morecambe nearest main city to me would be Manchester via preston so if anyone on the forum knows of any live tourney's near me let me know
The 4k GTD @ 9pm. Been playing a lot more of these longer blinds tourneys recently & been doing better than usual so maybe I've found my type of game at last?
It's my PTP night tonight (Tuesday 23rd), so I'm playing as "Tikay10" tonight, & have entered the 8.15 Deepy & the 9pm Openy. So that's £16.50 invested, & I'm due a cash, as the Cat needs feeding. Hope to see a few of you there - I will play some Cash Tables before & after the Tourneys. Posted by Tikay10[/QUOTE
Hi tikay, i thought you were playing in 9pm. Your on skypoker tonight.

Hi Grigg,
"The League Final" you saw on Sky Poker this evening was recorded last night (Monday) before the Monday Night Live Show. Those Shows you see on Tuesdays & Wednesdays are recorded, variously, on Thursday, Sunday, & Monday, before the Live Show. The 9pm Shows Thursday to Monday inclusive are all Live. That's proper Live. like!
I did play the 9pm Open tonight - but you'd have missed me if you blinked. I exited embarrassingly early when I slow-played A-Q, & check-Raised my oppo all-in on the end with my Top 2 Pair. I knew he had nothing, see? Except the Nut straight.....
I did not fare much better in the Deepstack either. Never hit a hand or a Flop all night. I eventually made a move for 4k (Blinds 200-400 with K-5, & got accommodated by two players, one of whom had 2-9. Oops.
Variance is a beast sometimes, & a thing of beauty other times.
Hey-ho.
Luckily, I nicked a few bob in the Cash Game, £16 I think, which pretty much paid for the Evening.

8pm £250 Community Freeroll - Look forward to seeing you all there and hopefully busting Sky_Rich
8.15pm £350 Deep Stack - Hopefully Orford will be involved in that
9.40pm £250 Guaranteed - Usually run okay in that tourney
10.20pm £300 Guaranteed - First time playing this tourney, same structure as £250 though and a field around 75 expected so some good value in that, hoping for a deep run there.
I usually play 3 or 4 tables at a time so if I bust out of any of the above early i'll probably play some DYM's as well. Tonight will only be considered a success if I cash in at least 1 of those tourneys, and have a />50% success rate at the DYM's (if I get to play them).

Sunday Nght.
My usual! The 8.15 Deepstack, (£5 + £0.50) plus the 9pm Open (£15 + £2), so that's £22.50 invested.
Good Luck all those playing tonight, & if we land on the same Table, & I Bet, Pass, I've got it. Quite probably,
thanks

You were grand Table company. I play poker for the craic, & to have banter with the guys in the Chat-Box, so yes, I hope we share Tables again soon, I enjoyed that.
I gotta go clean the Studio later. I jest not.
Must be more subtle when putting laxatives in Richard's 'awful tasting' coffee....he sussed you out this time.
Times must be hard.....
Shall I organise a 'let's supplement Tikay's pension' whip round amongst our caring skypoker community?
