I had an interesting situation last night. I was playing a bundle of tables, as was a player who presently isn't best friends with me. I noticed that in a couple of games, he was 'away' He was involved in hands on other tables and so wasnt Discoed. Do I tell him? Posted by Jac35
Yes. I would, anyway.
Be the bigger man, do the right thing.
If friendships are broken, they don't fix themselves.

It didn't cross my mind not to tell him.
Although, if it had been after he'd beaten my Kings with Ace 6 then it'd be a different story altogether

you doin Newcastle old man ? hope to see you there but am struggling for a lift tho and your team better win as ive got them in my acca lol Posted by FLASHJONNY
Hi Jonny
It's been a long time. Hope you're keeping well.
Yeah, I'm hoping that we win too
Be great if you can get something sorted for Newcastle. Be good to meet up again
So how was the Sunday night grind? Was it better than the golf or vice versa? Any chance of you playing hilo tonight. Probably my last session for a while so it'll be good to see you there. Posted by GELDY
Golf wasn't bad actually. Was happy getting it in the hole there rather than the hole I normally find myself in at poker.
Poker was swingy but ok. Played sat for roller and was about 6/15 with 14 seats. Passed just about everything as there were some really short stacks. About 6 times they went in behind and got there. Still, the £44 for 15th was ok.
I'd won a few Dyms and so I would have been around £150 up after an hour. Carried on playing and was soon £100 down. Saw a couple of £50 Dyms that given the line ups I just couldn't turn down. Managed to cash in them and ended up around £100 up. A useful 1500 points added as well
If I do play tonight it will be late. Top of the table clash to listen to tonight. Hopefully, Vespa won't be chirping in the morning
Will probably watch Liverpool v Tottenham at the same time.
Off on your travels again? Bring me back some rock.
Maybe it's an age thing but I get very confused with Sky sometimes.
I love it here, think the promotions are great, think the forum is great but...
There's a chap who posts in BB&V.
He claims repeatedly that Sky is corrupt. He calls Sky presenters clowns. He claims that he presenter lies. He has never done one worthwhile post.
It appears that nothing is done about this and he continues with his garbage.
There's a chap who used to post on here a lot. He was banned for life just before I started posting on here. He ranted about customer care and admits that he probably deserved to be in trouble for it. He made one mistake.
He now posts regulary on FB and on skype groups. He goes out of his way to help people whenever he can. I remember that a while ago someone started a thread asking for help with filtering sngs. I got a message from the banned member telling me how to do it and asking if I could pass it on to the guy who started the thread. Need scope stats? He's your man.
He's very smart and a reasonably good player as well. He would be a huge asset to the forum if he were allowed to return. He thinks it's unlikely that this would happen as he believes it would be difficult as other banned people would want a reprieve as well.
Nasty man can post
Nice man can't post
Strange

Derby

Won a few quid over last couple of days. Dyms have been poor again but drunk 50nl was very good on Friday night

Hi Paul,
On the face of it, yes, I agree.
There are a whole lot of stuff there that deserves a reply.
For starters, & to use an old expression, Sky Poker don't know if they are best burnt or scolded.
Ban people? They get stick for it.
Don't ban people? Ditto.
Of late, & after a lot of pressure from me (such as my view counts for a thing), the Business have been a lot more tolerant towards non-compliant Posts, & closing threads willy-nilly.
It's not an easy line to tread.
I'm prepping for tonight's Show, so won't be able to reply properly or fully tonight, but your Post is a bit unbalanced, imo.
I'll reply properly in the next day or two though.
For the record, I like & respect Andy a great deal, & he posts on another Forum I'm involved in, where I make him very welcome. Personally, I have no problem with Andy at all.
But you don't have all the facts at your disposal.
I have made numerous attempts - 4 I think - to get Andy reinstated here. Andy knows this, & will confirm that to you or anyone else.
I wrote to him at 3am (3am!) or somesuch after he made that original fateful Post, & begged him to withdraw it. It was guaranteed to get him banned - & he knew that. Andy will confirm all this.
At SPT Stratford 3 or 4 years ago (?), I introduced him to two Senior Suits, & put in a really good word for him, in an attempt to resolve the situation. Unforch, it never did the trick.
Around 3 months ago (give or take), Andy sent a very very helpful note to Sky Poker, which, because it was a sort of general poker matter, came to my attention.
So I sent another plea to Head Office - "he's a decent lad, he's served his time, can you please reconsider his chat ban? - I think he'll be OK now".
It seems my timing was bad, as, reading between the lines, another "robust" note had been just sent by Andy to the Business. I never saw it, but I gather it was "a bit rude".
This Community is owned & managed by Sky Poker. If you were in their spot, would you REALLY be happy for people to generally abuse you, AND still continue posting?
It's not anything like as straightforward as you may think.
I will continue to try & get Andy reinstated here. I will. But he has to do his bit, too. It's not a one way street.

Proper bloke.
The Riddler v The Penquin :-)
Absolutely agree that Pingu should be allowed back in.
