Title: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 22, 2006, 10:41:40 AM Monday night is once again time for the tikay Tourney on Sporting Odds.com.
$10 + $1 to enter, it usually makes around 100 runners. As usual, we have $1,000 added, & a $100 Bounty on yours truly. With just under 3 days to go, players are rushing to register & the chance to bust me - there are already a whopping, err, 4 runners..... Sign up now. Please? Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Sark79 on April 22, 2006, 10:50:16 AM What network is this site on mate ?
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 22, 2006, 10:52:58 AM Sporting Odds.com is on Boss Media I believe, but the Tourney is not network-wide, it is restricted to Sporting Odds.com.
The entrants have now shot up to 312. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 22, 2006, 10:53:44 AM Correction, the entrants remain at 4. Bit of a misread, I'm sorry.
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Indestructable on April 22, 2006, 11:21:53 AM Make that 5.
Mind you i am on form at the moment. Last 4 tournaments I have had three wins and one third place, so looking forward to more of the same on Monday night. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: ericstoner on April 22, 2006, 02:59:18 PM Make that 6 I'm in as whiteduke..........prepare to get your ass whopped.
there's me thinkinking blimey 314 players.....better get signed up quick,then I read the rest of the post. ;tk; Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: I, Zimbra on April 22, 2006, 08:32:22 PM I just signed up to SO.com, after a long hiatus...
played a crapshoot freeroll to test out the software, and finished 29th/653 for $1.37 :D I see what people mean about the slow software though. Graphics are nice, but seemingly a little overcomplicated, at the expense of speed... I'll see what I can do about reg'ing for this. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 22, 2006, 08:48:54 PM I'll be in, great structure imo.
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: bundle on April 23, 2006, 03:20:33 AM Boss media. Is that like Virgin and Titan?
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Jim-D on April 23, 2006, 11:52:16 AM Boss media. Is that like Virgin and Titan? Yes Virgin is on boss Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 23, 2006, 02:04:16 PM 7 now, whahoo! Yes, a unique blind structure in this. Blinds start at 12 minutes, then 15 minutes, 20, & eventually 30 minute levels, an "ever-slowing" clock. If I can just get to the sharp end, I'll be in Poker Heaven! It's fun to play with a Bounty, as everyone calls my Raises! Just for the avoidance of doubt, I am "connected" with Sporting Odds, (& very proud to be) in case anyone wonders why I am pushing this comp. We normally get around 100 runners - this is the fifth one I think, I've had a 2nd, two mid-comp exits, & the one everyone remembers, especially me - busted out first hand by 8-3 off - he hit his 3......! Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: The_nun on April 23, 2006, 02:17:31 PM I refuse to play in it as when on line I don't get my Kiss n cuddle..
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 23, 2006, 02:18:58 PM You can have a Virtual-Snog.
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: RioRodent on April 23, 2006, 03:15:42 PM ..... If I can just get to the sharp end, I'll be in Poker Heaven! ..... I'm confused now... plugging Poker Heaven in a SO thread! 8) Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 01:38:10 PM Well, with just over 6 hours to go, the entries are absolutely flooding in now. One more, & we are in double figures.......Gulp. It's $10 +$1, with $1,000 added, & $100 Bounty on me. If that's not value....... If we were to get 100 runners, (which we normally do) the added money would equate to $11 per player - effectively a Freeroll.....! All of which is a long-winded way of saying....BUMP! Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 24, 2006, 01:42:24 PM It'll fill up really quick in the last hour. ;)
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 02:20:43 PM It'll fill up really quick in the last hour. ;) Well, yes, it usually does. But not before giving me palpitations. Imagine the shame of having a Tourney in one's name & only getting a dozen runners. Must be almost as bad as busting out of your own Tourney first hand - & I've been there & done that too. Not many can lay claim to that. Sigh...... Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: sirrusb on April 24, 2006, 02:24:48 PM I'm In. Good Luck Everybody
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 02:27:37 PM Thanks sirrusb - 14 now, including a bunch of blondes. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: sirrusb on April 24, 2006, 02:33:27 PM Hope I'm on your table Tikay as my hubby says you are prone to giving away your chips early on. ;goodvevil;
Just kidding. :-* Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 02:51:50 PM Hope I'm on your table Tikay as my hubby says you are prone to giving away your chips early on. ;goodvevil; Just kidding. :-* Does he now?....... And HIS name is? He's in a lotta trouble. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Newmanseye on April 24, 2006, 03:04:18 PM Sorry Tony, that would be me. I figured a game against you would help her self esteem as shes a newbie. ;hide;
And before you do it I give myself a ;yellowcard; Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 03:10:42 PM I mighta guessed.
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: stallyon on April 24, 2006, 05:10:21 PM Hey Tikay, have you got a song in the charts at the moment???
What time is it? Its Tikay time :D Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: turny on April 24, 2006, 05:21:39 PM sorry tikay would love to play but..............
have opened and set up my account on there only to find they do not take solo cards for deposit. 30 mins on phone to a very unhelpful uninformed customer service advisor i am then told thier is nothing i can do. he also informs me that they dont take neteller deposits either. do these sites want new players?????? dont look like that to me ! il just stick to laddies where i get no grief depositting or withdrawing! sorry tikay i tried mate but i failed! and before you all say im "rubbish" Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Rod Paradise on April 24, 2006, 05:27:54 PM Gave up on them for similar reasons Itb... they couldn't find me on the electoral role so wouldn't let me deposit. Not too helpful & wanted me to post copies of documents etc. I never bothered.
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: turny on April 24, 2006, 05:34:30 PM its a joke rod.
you should never have to give them such personal information or documents. how comes some sites can do it and others cannot?? solo is a debit card not a credit card.so whats the problem?if the money goes through its my money not borrowed money like a credit card so cannot understand the problem! Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: I, Zimbra on April 24, 2006, 05:48:26 PM I got my money in via Visa Debit and am IN. :dontask:
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: turny on April 24, 2006, 06:02:19 PM I got my money in via Visa Debit and am IN. :dontask: solo is not visa debit. visa debit is not solo Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Indestructable on April 24, 2006, 06:16:48 PM My Bank Manageresque response is that Solo cards need every transaction to be authorised. Although this is a pain, this is actually a key advantage to solo card holders as this stops them spending money that they don't have. Many card holders have this purely for this reason.
Whilst there is this advantage, there is a big downside to in that to some outlets these are a pain in the backside as they do not want one solo transaction holding up a queue. As for poker sites I can understand that they would not want to have to gain authorisation on every transaction. Sorry if this doesn't sound very supportive of the problem but thought I would try to clarify this one. No idea which sites do and don't want to accept Solo cards and why they don't accept Neteller. Good luck to anyone in it tonight. 8) Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: turny on April 24, 2006, 06:32:40 PM how can solo card holders spend money they dont have????????/ its a debit card!!!!!!!!! if you not got money in your account you cannot spend it lol
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Indestructable on April 24, 2006, 06:54:26 PM A Solo card is not a debit card it is a Solo Card. ;)
With a debit card it is possible to spend money that you don't have and create an unauthorised overdraft, whereas with the Solo card you can't. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: stallyon on April 24, 2006, 07:00:53 PM I got my money in via Visa Debit and am IN. :dontask: solo is not visa debit. visa debit is not solo the SOLO brand doesnt exist anymore anyways. SOLO stands for Switch On Line Only and has been replaced by Switch Debit Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: turny on April 24, 2006, 07:03:49 PM so your tellong me when i look at my card and its says SOLO in big letters then im blind???
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Robert HM on April 24, 2006, 07:26:35 PM :D :D :D :D :D :D
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Indestructable on April 24, 2006, 07:41:23 PM It starts soon and currently 51 runners.
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 07:44:33 PM Yup, 51 runners now including a heap of blondes.
Sorry about the registraton probs, but as I have alluded to elsewhere, all the sites are now slowly coming into line on these new "registration" requirements. What a pain! Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 07:45:06 PM Sorry, make that 55 runners.....
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 07:47:25 PM Hey Tikay, have you got a song in the charts at the moment??? What time is it? Its Tikay time :D I got a new line in tikay thongs coming out soon. Or maybe he said tongs? Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Indestructable on April 24, 2006, 07:53:20 PM How much? They might be worth something on Ebay one day! :D
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Indestructable on April 24, 2006, 08:20:42 PM Forget the thong I can't afford it.
Just out with Jh Ad Flop had Tc Aspades 6h I messed about with raises and lost the plot really, but to be honest if I had played my normal game I would have gone all in and been called any way. Td Ts Out in 60th. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 09:27:41 PM 64 started, 26 left, I'm about average chips.
Never won a hand for first 3 or 4 levels, dribbled down to 675, & decided to make an UTG lunge with KQ. Ahh, the perils of playing with a Bounty on my head - SEVEN callers! All good hands mind - 44 was the best (!), 8-6, 9-4,9-2, you get the drift. Flop came K high & I seventupled through....... Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 24, 2006, 09:45:09 PM I was puzzled as to how your chips went up so much in one go!
Sheriff Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: tikay on April 24, 2006, 09:47:35 PM I was puzzled as to how your chips went up so much in one go! Sheriff Well they just went down in one go...... Geezer who won the bounty - "garga" - I've arranged to have him officially shot. Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 24, 2006, 09:48:44 PM Wow, a bonus prize for him. Who's doing the photo?
Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: I, Zimbra on April 24, 2006, 09:52:43 PM I was fairly card dead for the first hour, to be sure - down to 5x the BB yet again, I called with 9-9 against an all-in K-Q and lost. 15th... :(
Amazingly, I outlasted the fella who busted tikay - and he had about 3 times as many chips as me, just before he went out! Interesting tourney though :D Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: colipoo on April 24, 2006, 10:18:44 PM after being bubble boy a coupla tournies ago i am on final table hurah

Title: Re: tikay Tourney time! Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 24, 2006, 10:46:47 PM Not bad so far. JJ losing to AJ crippled me though. At least I got away from running into Aces.
