Anybody got any further information regarding the sky poker tournament in january, Will sky poker contact the qualifiers??
kenny
-
If you look on "My Tournaments" in the poker lobby, it should have the tournament listed there if you"ve qualified for it.
-
I"ve won a seat into Newcastle leg of Sky Poker Tour.
Played plenty of live tournaments at Rileys Snooker club, and The International in London, so I"ve had plenty of practice.
This will be my first "big" tournament as I normally play £20 freezeouts, and to tell you the truth......I"m bloody well looking forward to it.
Can anyone who played the other legs tell me what sort of skill experience normally play these events...? plenty of poor players or pretty good players at these events.
-
-
I"m in for this one too, looking forward to it in the oh so distant future.

Daniel sums it up nicely in that there is the full spectrum of players on show.
You go from the "idiot all-in shove in mid position just before the dinner break after four hours play, with an average stack holding A9" to the "I know you"ve got ace rag and are shoving again, so I"m pretty sure my AJ on the button is dominating you, and I have you covered by a few thousand"
Not forgetting the " two all-ins hey, well I"m short-stacked and in the small blind, but I have AK, so in go my chips"
I beleive in that situation that the dealer was pretty kind to the A9 and rewarded his play. But I"m not one for bad beat stories or anything like that.
They are good events, but as someone said to me at the bar during one of the later breaks with a shake of his head,
"It"s not APAT is it Leigh" ;D

is newcastle one full now cant find it on sky ?

Beautiful that time of year. :D

Swansea.....
Why has Sky Poker done all their legs in the northern half of England and none in the south of England...?
Is it because the southern casinos are too busy to fit Sky"s tour into their schedule...?
Maybe they will in the future,as i have a feeling that Sky poker is becoming more popular to the poker masses
-
Is crow banned from sky --just asking
-
So who all from apat is heading do edinburgh of the sky poker event?
-
Looking forward to it Kenny....
APAT will bring it home.
-
Ill be there. Looking forward to it.
Anyone know what the structure going to be or what it has been in previous events?
-
I"ll be there and Newcastle, from what i"ve seen on the site you need to be there between 12.00 and 1.30pm to register, I presume that they will just check thier list of qualifiers from the online torny list

It was about 2 years a go i last played a sky live event.I managed to get led astray by a drunken scotsman (think his name was Eck).The afternoon turned into a bit of a blur.I played poorly as usual but managed to take down a stt which kept us watered for a little while.
-
Thanks...
Really looking forward to it.

LOL lies damned lies i refute them all.....well mmmmmmmm
The one in Birmingham was a Sky live day not part of the new "tour" so structure won"t compare it was very fast structure designed to get through about 200 runners well before close of play.
Anyway looking forward to putting some faces to names on here on Saturday. Booked Marriot today so shall be on best behaviour and not drinking too excess at all... ::)
-
Looking forward to it as well Eck...
Might struggle to find Mickey!!! ;D
-

I enjoyed the Birmingham game and managed to finish 2nd to get my seat to the final in June. I have heard talk that there will be over 200 players at the final but with only £25k gtd that seems to many. I am trying to have the numbers confirmed by my contact at Sky.
The quality of play for the most part was good, some strange over bets at the start and the usual found out bluffs that got lucky after being called (yes I was one of those with 5c 7c v kc jc) hitting a 5 after re-raising a dubious looking initial raise. :-[
Had a huge chip lead heads up but Bob played his cards well and hit when he needed to to take 1st place and the honors. I must admit to being well drunk by the heads up as the game had over run by about 2 hours and I had paced my drinking for the earlier finish. Next weekend will be different at Walsall as I am traveling both days so some strange sober poker for me. :)
Anyone who gets a seat to any of the live Sky games will enjoy it immensely, the Sky crew are a great bunch and make any night with them special.

Well done on qualifing.
Given that DTD have the capacity, I sure the gtd will be smashed....its a question of any upper limit Sky/DTD want to put on it.
I"m sure our own inside contact will give us more info when he/she can ;) :D
-
I"d echo what Cryptic says about the Sky events. They put on a decent day and most of the presenters stick around for side comps til pretty late.
I have to say the DTD one was better than the Broadway, where I felt like the Sky event was more of an inconvenience to the usual Saturday day/night for the casino. Looking forward to the final in June...
(Cryptic, I think we were on a table for a while but I was the final table bubble and took the 10th seat)
