Please send Bank Details

Probably gonna win the lot.

Scotty you in?

Currently (including scotty) I have 17 names down.

If it averages £20 a head that gets us to £340. If you could all pledge your amounts that would help. I will do a spam tonight and try and get us to £500+.

Closing at midday tomorrow. Money needs to be in by then as well.

Will message all that have pledge bank details shortly.

Thanks

Callum

Yeah I'm in.

£20.

I finally got my mate to SS me and shipitgood for MTTs 2015 on Sky so far. It's a day or two old now I think, I dunno about Kev but I've hardly played anything on Sky since this SSS was taken and I'm pretty much break even during that time.

I'd been thinking about starting a stream on Twitch for quite a while but I used to have a really bad internet connection so I'd tested running it with a few mates and it was just unwatchable for them. Recently I upgraded to high speed broadband though which means my upload speed has gone from about 300kb to 4Mb so I hosted my first stream last night. It was a bit of a disaster logisitically because Sky Poker and Party Poker both just refused to let me login to the sites for like the first 2 hours of the session which killed my table numbers but it didn't go too bad overall for a first attempt.

I'll be giving it another go though and all being well, do it pretty regularly.  I'm far from a sicko so I won't be able to teach much to a lot of you guys on here but hopefully it'll be semi-entertaining and I'm sure there will be plenty o people that can benefit from my (limited) advice. Next time I go live will be about 8pm tomorrow night (Tuesday) in line with the main event on Sky.

It really pissed me off in live games when people open fold aswell for the same concept, you know for instance if you want to bluff you have one less player to go through. I've brought it up a few times and no one seems to understand what I'm saying. Backing it up with, but you can open fold on stars #facepalm

This one's not as simple as that for me. I understand what you're saying, but sometimes it speeds the game up and it's better than people acting out of turn, etc. I think there are worse crimes at the poker table than this.

Anything that gives you additional info in a hand where you could gain an advantage I see as ool, yet there is some form of warning or penalty for basically everything else.


Sigh at quote failing.

Yeah in regards to ruling dead heads from missing your turn, we just can't assume people wanted to check, during anytime time pre/post ruling is the same. If you miss your chance to act and don't speak up asap wether it be hiding your hole cards, or dealer being oblivious to where action starts, you can't be allowed to continue in a hand where you find out what's going to happen after you, it's just decided that two actions afterwards is significant to warrant you gained too much free info to carry on.

Thanks ironside much appreciated.

So if the action had got back round to seat 2, he'd be able to call, raise or fold?  But because he's complained, his hand's dead? 

(Edit - think I'm being an idiot.  He couldn't check could he, he had to at least call?  Makes sense now.)

If you missed your turn to act and two players or more have acted your hand is dead from gaining that edge of knowing what's happening after you wether or not it gets back to you, if you miss your turn but everyone checks it may well be different. I doubt you should be allowed to  make aggression.

If it was post-flop and you were first to act, then it would be the same as checking, wouldn't it? Obviously different preflop.

For me 9.40pm

UL, would maybe fancy it in a more turbo'y structure or earlier start, regarding living that 9-5 :/
