Must remember not to have a glass of wine (or 2) when playing sky poker. I forgot I entered a £2.60 all in UKOPS Sat, was just about to log out at 11.15 then realised I was still in, launched tournament had 340 chips but was in big blind for 200, out first hand I played. No more wine for me

    I would be careful with stuff like that bert. responsible gambling measures is getting worse and posting stuff like that in the future could potentially cause you issues not saying it would who knows.

    I doubt it would in this case over a net spend of £2.60 but admiting to gambling whilst drunk is not a good look.

    incedently its not a good idea either. I would not do this myself i guess if your just playing micro games whats the deal anyway.

    And you still managed to finish 5th.

    Think we've all been there & done that at some point in our poker journey. I noticed you won that 18.30 £1k BH earlier this month, well done.

    I recall you winning an Avenger Mini a few years ago too. Bet you can't name any of the other finalists. ;)

    Back in the day when some of us used to boost @Tikay10's retirement fund by playing PLO8 dyms with him there was more than one time when I forgot to check the tables I was registered for before signing off for the evening, luckily on logging in the next morning they sometimes still hadn't filled!

    Might want to check again, I haven’t seen a game run in a good couple of years :D

    Struggle to remember what I did two hours ago Tikay, do love playing on Sky though, even if I find it frustrating at times. Play most nights, mainly one table and low stakes

    Does not matter what the stakes are, it's just so good to hear from players who actually enjoy playing. Long may it last. You'd be surprised how many don't, & never stop moaning.

    Sounds like your memory is about as bad as mine.

    What is with the Sky clique, that whenever anyone posts things like this one always likes to talk about bans and the likes... that if it were true, they have just highlighted it to whoever it may concern?

    The guy has a few glasses of wine at a weekend and this bans him from investing £2.60? Yet you can play a fruit machine in a pub and get off your face at any race meeting...

    I honestly dont get what the cliques agenda is at times, but bans are mentioned all the time over the most ridiculous claims. Personally i play a pound a game that can last 40 mins... a ban for breaking Gambling Commision protocols is mentioned over and over again.....

    Absolutely anyone who even logs into slots daily or a number of 'russian roulette' games in a day, has a gambling problem full stop in my book. But hey, ban the ones having a glass of wine and playing £2, or those playing £1 despite thinking its decks are for entertainment purposes only.....

    Thank god the GC can differentiate the hallmarks of problem gambling and not the special Sky clique....

    Another post that lacks comprehension.
