Sky Poker, the first multiplatform poker room, has launched The Club, a new interactive TV show that puts the poker player at the very heart of the show. Hosted by Sky Sports News’ Dan Lobb and poker expert and author Matt Broughton, The Club provides an interactive forum for players to share and discuss everything from their best home game experiences to their worst online bad-beats. The Club airs on Sky Poker every weekday night at 8.30 pm on Sky Poker channel 846.As an interactive format, The Club offers viewers a variety of ways to get involved with the show:
-- Players can email The Club with photos of their favourite poker moments; from big pots in their weekly home game to experiences during their last trip to Las Vegas. The Club also features viewers’ own footage, be it mobile phone videos of home games or webcam recordings of live reactions to bad-beats and big wins. Emails can be sent to TheClub@SkyPoker.com
-- Viewers can ask The Club’s hosts and guests to “Play My Hand”, with the experts analyzing and reviewing players’ hands and offering advice, congratulations or – where necessary - commiserations. To have hands featured on “Play My Hand”, Sky Poker players must email their screen name, the hand ID, the tournament details, and an approximate time to TheClub@SkyPoker.com.
-- The Club also features advice on how to play all the games on offer at Sky Poker.com - as well as tips from the experts in the studio - all with the aim of aiding, educating and improving the nation’s poker players. The Club also goes out and about, bringing viewers all the action from UK poker events, from the big British tournaments to the weekly games in their local pub.
-- The Club also highlights and features winners from the various tournaments available on Sky Poker, including the likes of Velocity and Slow Boat, as well as Sky Poker’s big nightly tournament, The Open.
