The Sky Poker thread

If you are  raking over £4000 Sterling a month is there a rakeback scheme ?

If you are (potentially) raking £4k per month, please drop me a PM, & we'll have a chat.

Just so you know Tikay, this is a question from Peter 'I don't play online' Charalambous

Yes, I was aware of that.

Can sky not offer online sat's to DTD deepstacks? Would be quite easy I guess,  I over the month 10 seats were won then some one from sky turns up on the day and buys everyone in

Given that DTD & Sky Poker are direct competitors, I would think it unlikely that DTD would permit or approve of this.

It could be done "unofficially" of course, but I, for one, would never be party to such practice with DTD, to whom blonde owe a huge debt of gratitude, & always will. Sky Poker & DTD have an excellent business relationship, too, & we would not wish to jeopardise that.

unless i'm reading this wrong on HUSNGs

5% juice on normals - pretty standard i think, 5% juice on turbo's (should be a bit less imo but whatever) 10% juice on russian roulette's which only last 1 hand (both players automatically go all in)

why?

RR's are a point of contention because they can be grinded to get you into the upper echelons of skys league to try for Team Sky Poker membership. They are super good value for that specifically.

Rebuys are raked and there is no hand for hand! There is much to be tilted by, good games though!

Wednesday Night on Sky Poker, & below are the pick of the Tourneys available this evening. It's my PTP Evening, so I'll be playing all of them, & after that, some Omaha Hi-Lo Cash.

7pm - tikay's Sleepstack. £11, 5,000 chips, & rarely for Sky Poker, a 10 seater. Generally gets about 50 runners.

8pm - £4,000 Guaranteed Double Stack Main Event, £22. 4,000 chips, plays out nicely. Probably get about 300 runners, depending on how attractive tonight's televised football fayre is.

8.30pm - Take on tikay (TOTTY), £5.50, 2,500 starting chips. Part of the blonde-Sky Poker Added-Value League Series. Expect around 100 runners.

9pm - TSP Classic, £2,000 Guaranteed. 2k starting chips, averages just over 220 runners per night. Might get less this evening, as it has been moved forward from 10pm to 9pm, for the very first time, so many of the Regulars might miss it.

Might see a few of you later. If I don't chat at the Tables, it's either because I get flustered trying to 4-Table, & find it hard to chat & 4-Table, or because I don't like you.

Good luck all. I expect to see the blondes chalking up a few wins over there shortly. Maybe.....

yo Tikay - can you suggest sync breaks. 

[tikay]

yo Tikay - can you suggest sync breaks. 

It's not really practical, Mr Sov, for a whole bunch of reasons. It's not the sort of site where players play 6 or 7 Tourneys at the same time, to be honest.

Fair question though.

but i had two going at the same time until some donko sucked out on my 89o with AA.  Nevermind, it would help even people playing 2/3 tournies.

I figured it would be quite easy to arrange.  I'm not much of a computer guy though.

The televised aspect gets in the way of this too. You just have to sit out to go anywhere, sitting out is also an issue in the cash games but it's never been addressed...


hand for hand would be nice too!!!

[paulhouk03]

antes and preferance seats would be nice

[tikay]

antes and preferance seats would be nice

What is a "preferance seat" please?

Most of the Tourney structures are not really suitable for antes.

you can choose what seat you wanna sit in

it helps with multi tabling

you can sit where you like, just have to adjust on each new table
