Sky 846!

Looking forward to it.  Competition for PNL eh! Keep them on their toes :)

oops didn't realise Ironside had mentioned it - sorry!

Appreciate the heads-up as i never listen to a thing Ironfish says.

thats why your stilll crap at poker

Watched the first hour of 'The Open Replayed' last night (Sun morn) at 2am. It 'appeared' to be live and perhaps some sort of test transmission to iron out the creases before moving to the normal 9pm slot (tonight?).

Have you got any more info for us on this and your involvement with it Tikay?

Does anyone know when we'll be able to sign up for this?  I've gone to their website and there's just a holding page inviting to you send them your email address to receive updates.  I did that last week and haven't had anything yet ???

The Show is recorded by way of an "As-Live Rehearsal"" every night, but not transmitted Live yet. For technical reasons, they air an "As-Live Rehearsal" every morning at 2am, usually from a few days earlier.

I'd like to give you a full Update, behind the scenes & everything, & will when the "suits" say it's OK so to do. All I can confirm for now is that at present, until they rumble me, I am one of a Team of 5 or 6 "Expert Commentators" (there are an equal number of "Presenters"). We also have 3 Guests in the Studio every night. I am also under contract as a Consultant to the Show.

As soon as the "Launch Date" is confirmed, I'll be able to let you know the full SP.

"The Open" is just one of the different shows currently planned for channel 846, which will air Live 7 nights a week.

By "sign up", do you mean to the cardroom? If so, not until the show launches. I work for the TV Channel, not the Cardroom, so it's not my department, so to speak.

A major Direct Mail & e-Mail campaign is planned, I understand, which will go to all Sky Subscribers.

                 

                                                                                               NOW ON!....trial programme it now says!....starts live on Thursday 8th .

Correct. 9pm this evening.

yeh but how the hell do you sign up? The website doesnt go anywhere!!

The decison to Launch today was only made late last night. so I assume the Website will be Updated today.

nothing as yet but must be updated soon!

 ;yippee; Poker tonight  ;D

Can you play it and watch tv at same time?

I haven't got any sky signal due to the snow   ;grr;
I was looking forward to an afternoon in front of bad tv and watching poker tonight.

You can actually play it on your TV, via the Red Button. No computer needed. But I'm not sure if you can play it on the TV AND watch "normal" TV Shows at the same time. Why would you want to when Helen Chamberlain & Co are on?

Erm I think Helen Chamberlain not wearing a bra in the previews put me off tbh. I like watching normal TV while playing poker so I don't get bored.

yes you can play via the red button and watch yer tv at same time,or you can play on your pc and watch the show on your tv,or you can watch via live feed on your pc whilst playing on your pc.

so basically the answer is yes.

so play on yer c and watch whatever you choose on your tv though you may miss tikay making an arse of himself with a total misread while analizing a hand  rotflmfao

I won't make a misread tonight, as my next show is not until Sunday......Can't make any promises about Sunday though!

yes sunday should be a show not to miss with blondes own Tikay and Rookieiitb on it it should make for a great show!

Oi! Leave off Helen!    ;grr;

She's blond, likes footy, darts and poker....my perfect woman.

 and has the most wonderful kind nature and great personality

I know what your all trying to say, you would, wouldnt you?

errrr, yeah...that too.

aye :)

I received a leaflet through the post yesterday about a £1k freeroll on Sky Poker too - didn't say when it is though.   

Ok folks, Its happened!!!  The website is now active and ready for you to get registered and get involved in tonights TV Tournament at 9pm.  Just go to :

http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby

Register an account and username, and your off.  The comp is called "The Open" and is the Poker Lobby under Multi Table Tournaments, then Televised tournaments.  It is great value and great fun.  Its a £10 comp with a £2,500 guaranteed prizepool.  So, you can just play the comp or you can play and watch "The Open" at the sametime on SKY channel 846.  One of your hands could even get reviewed live on the show, or you can win a bounty by knocking out one of the 3 studio guest also playiing the comp. 

I'll be in under Chili, so good luck!!

Thanks for the Info Chili, site looks great and the way you can play online through the website top marks.

 Ok....im in !!..".Ripple"

I see that RookieITB has registered.  The value has arrived!   If you register, post your alias on here so (I) we know who you are.

Lol, how dare you? Remind the people who won our last longer bet the other day why dont you?!

Cash game anyone? Im on already lol.

 :hello: :hello: ;bumwiggle;

You want another tonight??  Same bet!!

hehe, yeah youre on, and this time im not busting out 1 hand before you!

Well done Ripple.  You'll enjoy this. Me and Rookie have played a few of these now and the standard of play is......well.......Interesting!  But it is fun.

Yep, even Chili managed 2nd. She did get beaten by a better player heads up mind you....

Ill probably play this tonight.. is there a download client at all or is it done via the webpage??

no download.

Just like pokerroom's online only bit?

you need to use Chilli's link....."skypoker.com" webpage doesnt seem to work.

YEah yeah, rookie.  Why didnt you just come on here and tell everyone you won one of these???   HEHE

I am in for tonight TV one, as erm AcidMouse

Coz that would be bigheaded of me, but while were on the subject i do recall winning this. Im sure Eck will back me up! mwahahaha... Im taking you down tonight, no holds barred! That sidebet is mine!

PMSL i just see colch-kev in the registered players for tonight list. DEAD MONEY!!!!!!!

I could not squeeze SuffolkPunch in as my username, so I have chosen the little old lady avator and am playing as Granny. I'm risking my pension on tonight's tourney.

I have registerd, but cant download any tables ? and the getting started link doesnt seem to work ?? help ... if you want my dead money that is :)

I hope i get in, my avatar is a spitting image :D

You gone for the same avatar as me then?

;D

You don't have to be Blonde to play SkyPoker, but it helps!!

My alias is.....kinboshi.

Variety being the spice of life and all that.

Blimey, its gonna be a blonde invasion at this rate.  Kev, you wont see the tourny table till 9.05.  Cant you open any of the cash tables?  They a few seconds to open and if you have pop up blocker you have to click the bar at the top of the page.  Make sense?  Any joy?

The website looks like it is up and running although a few technical glitches with some areas obscured by logos. But anyway there is a section on promotional codes.
Is there one we should be using?

AGhhHHh I can't get regestered at all, It won't let me put my age in on the form.

I know i'm old but this is daft/

By the way I tried to reg via the telly, and like other betting sky sites,you have to connect at local rate,does this meen you're connected and paying every minute you are online in a tournement?

im in as PayMyLoans

Yes I think you are right about being online via the telly costing money, but Tikay may know better.

maccol is in the house

I'm in as ... errr ... Jonboy

... Also trying the software with a small cash game with the 'pie-eater'

LOL I just donked off a tenner on a cash game to test the software !!!

Managed to get everything sorted so im in for tonight...

1 thing, i cant make the page big enough to see the chat etc, i have tried changing screen res but still cant see whole page, ny ideas ??

Sit nearer the Monitor?

I'm in, but had a slight problem............minimum 6 letters therefore.........1Foggy

Gl all

Did you tick - enlarge chat box, and now its too big?

Sigh ...




No, when the page loads up i cant see all the screen, i can only see top line of chat box, and just the tops of the call fold buttons... strange.

all the tables i am trying to play are saying connection failed. will this pose a problem for tonights tourney u think?

im in too, i think?
think ill try a sit n go to make sure its working ok.

INCREASE the Resolution Kev. (via Properties).

Done that pops, no difference... doesnt really matter... i dont wanna chat to the other peasants anyway.


ZZZZZZZZ you need to look at the "getting started" page, i had same problem but you need to configure your firewall .... all the info is there under connection problems.

cheers kev m8, got it

Awesome, cant beat a bit of teamwork!

DON'T call me "pops" in front of my new friends & colleagues at Sky. They see me as young & cool & dashing.

They will soon learn !!!


And tell Helen that I love her !!

What time will the tourny be on sky then, any ideas?

Program Starts on SKY at 9pm.  Comp starts at 9.05pm.  It is just about Live (ten min delay) so they cant talk about hands that are in progress at that time.

Ah ty Chili.

what will the blind structure b. level lenghts? starting stack?

NEWSFLASH


ROOKIEITB WILL BE A GUEST ON THE SHOW TONIGHT AS WELL.

a guest dropped out at the last minute and rookies stepped in

1500 starting stack blinds every 10 mins.

10/20 to start but because 6 handed hit you hard very quickly

There are 10min levels and a 1,500 starting stack.  Not 100% about all the blind levels.

And - GET IN Rookie!  No pressure then.  Easy bounty then folks.  Hehe

What's the bounty for busting ya Chills?

no bounty for chills tonite as she not on the show but easy £50 each for busting rookie and tomtom

Did anyone else notice this? It says you can choose how much you can deposit free of charge.

Well, seeing as it's free I might as well put in the maximum.

I wonder why they need my card details  ;djinn;

No bounty on me Floppy!  Only on the Studio guests, who I believe to be RookieITB, TOMTOMITB & another celeb!!  It may well be £50 for the bounty.

Mr Belly - STOP IT

LOL

89 entries already its gonna be a biggy!

what are the chances that in a few months there will b say a £100 25k gtd every sunday or something?

 ITB...are you in Sky HQ at Osterley?.if so and you're caught short again, I'm round the corner! ;whistle;

That is very possible ZZZ.  Already at launch, there is a £4K gtd scheduled for Sundays!!

No, he's at Feltham - right now, he's in Make-Up......He's been in there hours.

Next, he has to go to Wardrobe......

I'm LOVING this.

 Practise before the biggie!!....

6 more wanted for a £5 sit and go....anyone??

My only concern is that the cash games (Full ring) are only averaging 15 hands per hour, so with 10 min levels (even 6 handed) you are not going to see many hands per level.

Having said that, the tournament should have a 'better class' of player now it is packed with blondes, so maybe 6 players won't see the flop every hand!?  

LOL....that makes sense.....Feltham Young Offenders Institute is round the corner ;D

I'm in.

I'm in too

Table 876, 4 more needed.

Part of the problem is that dealing the cards is as slow as a real dealer  ;sleep;

BUT.........what speeds up proceedings is 15 seconds to act.  I'm used to 30 seconds, so took me by surprise initially and a few good hands were folded on me.

Are girlies usually slower than men?

Depends what you are referring to!!!!

Valooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.  I'm in too.

im in as PayMyLoans

I'm registered for tonight - should be fun.  Every other name on the list seems to be from blonde :D

Erm, anyone up for another one?

I seem to be out already.

i just logged onto skypoker.com and was amazed to see my account balance in excess of £100......so i e4xamined my account details and it seems as though i was given a free £5 bet in october 2004.

i used this bet for...........


Football Champions League Champs Lge 04/05 Win Outright
 25/05/2005 19:45 Liverpool (Win) @ 25/1


aaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm in for tonite,  texfitz

im in as well but just opened up a table to see graphic and have connection problems.

Ive been through the port thing like it suggests but the only way it works is if i disable norton which i dont want to do. ANyone shed any light

;tightend;

Ignore that im in now but woth the crazy blinds if i get my favourite hand 9d 6d then im all in pre flop  ::)

Im in too as dannyb.

Hi
  When i attempt sign up on line a box appears saying that internet explorer
cannot open the internet site www.skybet.com, now as a thickie when it
comes to computers, can anyone offer some advice here.

I did phone sky but the guy i spoke to had no words of wisdom for me.

           Thanks
                 Neves.

Just played the softest  cash tables, though you need to flop the nuts and have them hold to win as you get called all the time lol.

just like playing on U B  then floppy

I'm in, Funny enough i'm pokerdave but without the 69 wouldn't fit . Good luck blondites

i had the same and opened an account through my tv then i could log in online

what did you do because i have done the same but cannot connect

Nah UB is really passive. Full Tilt is the one full of people playing back at you.

lol forget that im sorted too

 :hello: :hello:

WOw, 192 entries so far.  The most we reached in the trials were 112!   GL everyone.

you've been practising ?

not fair

funny that i had 129 in one my trials lol

I'm playing as well. My screen name is EOSauron.

i would much rather be in Maria's than yours                  ;nanana;

I beat Chili heads up in the trials. Mwahaha.. Bounties = £25 by the way.

good luck rookie and tomtom break a leg!

Bugger - ok missed that one LOL

rooks your not in player list what name u under 2nite?

easiest heads up ever!

 :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard:

This I can confirm as i am soon to take ownership of a new HD box thanks to the young fella.  :)up

Best I could manage was a couple of 3rd places getting some champers for my trouble.

Im in eventually didn't realise i needed to set up a new account and wouldn't accept my debit card as it says it is being used on another account. So own up who's using my card to fund their habit?   ;nemesis;

Eck68 BTW as if you couldn't guess

lol they look scared

just played a little 6pac and won it even though i couldnt get onto the table until 20 mins after it started lol

is it me or has it not started yet?

How do I do this?  Mr Claw's using the telly for video games :(

Tikay on my table

good luck all

Claw, go to the homepage and find where it says "watch the open" 

It should open up on your pc.

I am in as Indstrcble , but there are only 6 at my table?

Only 6 on every table.

6-handed tables... ;D

they mucked up the prize pool on the tv it doesnt match the website

Out first Hand...... ;noflopshomer;

 ;D ;D ;D

I thought it was £2,500 prizepool.  NOT £2,500 for first!

Good Luck everyone!

exactly! someones made an early booboo

I ran 8-6 into A-A, it was a 3-4-8-5 board though. Still got some chips.

had a tikay misread.............down to 300

I am just following the hot o meter
 ;kev;

im gone lol some players cant lay down top pair top kicker lol

out..........pushed 300 from button with A9   ran into AJ

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

I wonder how far you would get if you followed that from start to finish?

I cant get in, all im getting is a white screen, it wont open my table

41/191

TT into QQ on a 9-7-6 board.

you might last longer than normal kev.

Blondds are a bit fast hope they show my all in call with Q 10 and river a straight lol

Doh!  I had that earlier but it kicked in eventually.  Ul

I just had QT off, told me it was a hot hand - so I played it.   :dontask:

Pop-up blocker?

Out.....chips all in pre flop but my  Ad Js was no match for GmoneyAK's  Qh Tc which hit straight on river   :'(

dont know whose picking out the hands to analize tonite but with 35 tables to choose from surely they can show a better one than the one they just showed

OOOT! 77 v 56 on a 334 board tunr had to b a 2

These blinds are going up like pies go down at Kev's!

I have the biggest fish in the world on my table...naturally chip leader lol

blinds do go mad and with only 6 to a table it can hurt

sorry keith blinds are crazy im gambling im 5th now though

Told you kev was dead money. Btw, did everyone like my wagging finger?

I'm out.

Raise the BB with A9d - he re-raises me all-in with K9o.  I called (500 more for a 2300 pot).

Obviously two kings come down...

just dropped 2k KJ vs AK if they show any of my hnads i lok like a fish ha

 out....need to gamble early with those blinds!!

rookie get fired in2 the beauty next to you lol ;)

£2,500 Prize Pool, not £2,500 First Prize. First night nerves. Some folks call 'em misreads.

Value added, awful players...but 1st and last time with this dreadful software and structure.
Will have to push with anything soon.

and youd know all about misreads!  rotflmfao

14/127

 ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked;

think a bit harsh, i think the sopftwares fine but agree regards structure but with a 3 to 31/2 hour timescale there not alot else they can do.

                                                                     BOUNTY!!!!!!!??????

Finally got my chance with AQ, 88 stood up.

Bye Sky

Will it last that long lol, nah, may as well play scratchcards.
Novelty, but I don't think Pokerstars are trembling in their shoes...gl anyone still in.

No problem mate...had to be done..........good luck for rest of it!   :)up

got 3000 played 50 minutes only got 10 big blinds pretty awful structure get it all in with Top pair on K56 againt 78 eho called for 2600 more and hit the 4. Its a nice idea but unless they increase the amount the blinds go up to at least 15 minutes dont think i will play again.

26/93

think you miss the point they not trying to compete with pokerstars.

eneded up phoning a friend to play it, but we got Claw'ed .... such a lucky fish that woman :D

I will have to get broadband me thinks , dial up is not good....  good laugh for a tenner though, i will be back !!!

It was goin OK and then I got moved tables, 2 hands later  ;shitfanhit;

I think they could start the tournament earlier, about 7-8pm, then they have more time to sort out some televised hands and begin the live coverage at 9-9:30. That should mean they can pad the levels out a bit.

That was horrible, blinds shooting up way too quick and had to just push and hope.
I am out.

I just played a hand that would be great for TV!!.....

she is a beauty, wowza! great laugh too!

good good kev they need your dead money.

right attitude though a good laugh best way to look at it as.

structure to fast but a great chance for newbie players to get mention on the tv

good luck all still in

7/70

shes a great laugh was on with her last week but dont get any ideas i dont think matt dawsons got anything to worry about lol

good point richeq and this has been suggested so may be an option in the future

Agree good laugh for a tenner.....but I like the idea of starting earlier with longer blinds....where's the Sky Poker consultant when you need him ?? ;whistle;

Oh Dear - a misunderstanding with A-K against 4-4, then had to push with 3-3 and the same fella had K-K, Oh well!

that wasn't you on my table was it?  Cassie or something?

Nope - I play as Granny on Sky. Hoping people will be nice to a little old lady. fat chance

 ;scarymoment; ;hide;

rofl at tikeys exit

you out yet grandad??

Nope.

Well, yes. Technically, yes.

3/56 break man these blinds making people push!

They think that your alias is TonyK on the TV show. Someone correct them.

you can have my chips tikay, got booted and cant get back on just a white screen. :(
ITBShrek took most of my chips he had AA v my AQ.

Chili - in or out?

chilli is in top ten

It is a fast structure and 6 handed to boot, but it is still in its infancy and i'm sure things will get tweeked along the way.  I must say I am an advocate of starting the comp a liitle earlier to get more control too of content and hand analysis.

At the moment it is fast paced, fun, interactive poker.  Is there not room for all types of poker in this market?

Aye too early to criticise too much, still early.  Fun to play tho

In boy and coming to get ya!!

  I'm middle of the field at the break with less than 9bb

Still in..... just!

text book play from the itb player  rotflmfao

No.
 ;scarymoment;

and out.....66 vs QJ

His small raise stank of a big hand but i couldnt think of folding AQs in this type of tourny, he hit a rush after that then i got back in it and got kicked of table now cant even get on to the website :(

 Blondites going well on the Leader board...keep it up guys! ;applause;

cheeky bastard dissed Leeds :)

Patience is the key. Lots have people have gone out early becuase they over played their hands. The tournament lasts 3 hours don't put your chips in too early.

Someone  ;snoopy'sguns; that presenter.

41st

That's TonyK - one time "Yes" Drummer I believe.

 rotflmfao just what I was thinking....apart from the shooting bit

do you blame him lol

£20 ship it.

 :goodpost:

I'm out.  Was doing great then go and flop a straight against a flopped flush!!!

your rubbish ! rotflmfao

lol AA out vs chipleaders k7 called all in

what a fking muppet

Ok Rookie, £20 yours.  Double or quits?

unlucky acid

Oiiiii! What? Eh? So I didnt believe him! Alright.  How long you last?

That leprechaun knows his stuff.....................! ;hide;

oooh, im getting my leg touched!


not by tom either! ;)

Trust me guys, the Sky Poker "Suits" are ALL reading this thread, and taking on board your comments & feedback.

I think they'll wait until the Tourney & show have finished tonight before commenting, if indeed they do comment, but they ARE all tuned into this blonde thread, taking notes. It is, after all, an interactive show.

Keep the feedback coming please.

INSIDE LEG

i'm on telly

pls dont let welshboy mupp win!

cymru am byth- Wd TEX

eeerm lets not mention it lol

What the 4k one they were talking about, i hope that has a decent structure then i may be tempted to have another go.


ps - did reddog play this  rotflmfao

 rotflmfao

SICK

looks like we're all gonna see it now :D

 VERY

booooooooooooo

ul acidmouse!

"aint that the game itself" lololol unlucky acid

I hope he doesn't win :(

oh well acid......come on wales!

Out in 23rd place and a little bit of money to boot.

I like the software, very easy to use and easy on the eye. The increasing blind structure is way too fast to allow for a decent poker game. Playing 6 handed rather than 9 handed is very unusual, and accompanied with the very large blinds in proportion to the stack sizes, puts massive pressure on players simply to push all-in and hope for the best. If both these things were adjusted, then I'm sure both myself and other blondites will show you what we're really capable of. There's a lot more to poker than simply shoving all-in.

Red was the structure consultant for this you know.

Unlucky Acid.

did u want him to call lol?

i do find it quite annoying the presenters talking about how to play perfect poker when it is impossible to play like they suggest due to the poor blind structure. This is why i kept my money in my pocket- to wait till thy smooth stuff out then im sure i will be hitting it hard.

Exactly!

Only wanted one caller, knew someone would suckout, just hate crap players flourish with bad calls.

true but didnt he pay the same entry as you?

not knocking just playing devils advocat

and if there werent "crap" players there wouldnt be the money to make some players do on here.

SICK

RIGGED

your luck run out fella lol good game

LUCK??

a number of hands early on yes

AQ vs 99 lost in CL pot. KK vs QQ lose 24k

Welshboy suitable ciphering all his ill gained chips!

unlucky Rookie

did u really think welshboy could win it  rotflmfao

What Claire said.. :(

Isn't about time to give me a pay rise?   :dontask:

hes out can sleep well now.

nn peeps excellent show and you guys in the studio did well.

Naturals!

The format is good but I thought I was watching laddies with all those one and two outers hitting the board. Just watched AA loose to 99 and the other 9 had been mucked.

The presenter looked almost ashamed when the one outer hit.

I will be watching the cash tables before putting any chips down!

anybody know if carlo is Citrone?

Hehe

Not quite, it was AA vs A9, one 9 was dead, a 9 on the flop and a 9 on the river.

You are quite right RichEO which makes the percentages even more cringe value. plus how quads have we seen tonight?

None other. He's the "Expert" on the show tomorrow (Friday) with Kara Scott as the Presenter.

Kara is the Presenter again on Sunday, and, who's a lucky boy?, I'm gonna be her "Expert Commentator". Two of our 3 guests on Sunday will be two ex Man Utd Footballers - Paul Parker & David May. Guests next week include Eric Bristow & Rodney Marsh. Helen Chamberlain will be doing next Wednesday's show. (All provisional).

Are you more famous than tikay now Rooks?

Careful now boy......

I can honestly say, YES. By a mile.

Everyone loves the new kid eh?

Any ideas when helen will be doing me. I expect it will be Sooner rather than later (but that is provisional of course!)

ThierryH is a regular winner on Willy Hill

Hes a luckbox

Sit n go's on Sky... never ever again!

It's going so so slow!

The SNGs last longer than The Open did.

ahem! you not include me anywhere in that line up tony?

Can you make sure Paul is asked how to play a set of 9's!!

I like the software, needs a few tweaks - but otherwise not bad at all.  Interesting idea to go down the Flash route rather than require a software download.

If they want 200 people playing in the timescales, then it's always going to be luck-fest.  The blinds go up so quickly that the presenter and expert looked a bit daft at times, as there's no point following the advice to play 'properly' when 'patience, patience, patience' isn't going to help you.

Maybe the better way to run it is to have satellites, into a 40-runner final that is televised?  This would cause a problem with running it every night though...  I suppose that over time the numbers might drop, and this will make the tournament more playable as well.

I think it's a cracking concept, just needs to be refined a bit.

Rodney back on Sky....nice one.

can you ask him if he will be appearing on soccer saturday in the near future

 :goodpost:

Ask him to give you a 'wave'...

Ahh, the poker news girl. I can see why you like her.  ;ashamed;

She's pretty keen on me, I believe.

Another Miss read  ;tk;

Kara is lovely :)

Stunningly so. Wonderful personality.

Is anyone having trouble opening sky's poker site, it allowed me to register now i can't even acces the site have i broken it?

you have to delete something - 8080 i think in some settings bar somewhere(i am shite at comps)

Details to do this are on the site as it happened to me yesterday after registering

Too much bother, if it don't work easily i don't play glad i didn't deposit while registering.

I cant see my hole cards.

After a few hands on cash tables it always starts dealing me face down cards.
BLIND HOLD EM. very strange.

 doesnt happen in tourneys. Anyone else seen this?

HAve you got very dark sunglasses 8)

LOL I tried taking them off. same thing.
I ll try to get a screen shot it is very strange to look at
btw this is funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95qn1Jqtegs

Only a 5 on the river can beat you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oi monkey nut, unless Sky play with 5 x5's in their packs It is very unlikely lol

PMSL

lol that's brilliant, this show might have some longevity as a joke! We can all play "spot the mistakes" :D

Well dip your bread tonight, cos I'm the "Expert" tonight.....

We have Leslie Grantham on, too, so behave yourself, right?

By the way, e-Mails are a major part of the show, we had a bunch of great ones on Tuesday, let's have plenty tonight please. I'd be muchly grateful.

Dont mention me then.

I'll leave you too it, will wait for the youtube highlights!

One would assume Sky are making him drive to the studio himself, rather than risk booking him a taxi...

will we be able to see Leslie via webcam ??

Good point.

Tikay, make sure he keeps his hands above the desk.

Can you watch it online on the sky website whilst you play?

Im a bit confused, ill play it, but obv dont have sky here at uni.

I hope he murders the field.

Looks like tonight has the potential to terminate my TV "career".......

Yes, go here...

http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby

Click the "TV SHOWS" tab.....

Then click where it says....

Click here to Watch Sky Poker live and direct on your PC.

Cheers Tikay

While you guys are busy trying to destroy my TV mini-career, on tonight's show, as well as Leslie Granthm, we also have Rookie, and someone called Gordon Watson.

I thought Gordon Watson was the bloke in Upstairs Downstairs, but it appears he is a footballer-bloke, played for a whole bunch of major Football teams....

and Charlton

any chance you could get me and womble in on this grandad? it  looks good fun. Obviously the studio lighting may need adjusting to avoid glare of my head though. Will enter tongiht to see how it goes anyway.

Get it right ffs.

Paul Parker is ex Queens Park Rangers.

....until being hacked half-to-death by a Huddersfield Town player when playing for Bradford City.

I believe he subsequently won a court case in respect of the (ahem) 'tackle'.

This show is actually watchable although I have only watched the one with hells bells and Tikay so far. Is it as much fun when there are people on we don't know? I would rather watch this than the 425 type shows (sorry grandad).           

I tee 'em up, the athletic Tighty volleys 'em in.

whilst unathletic Tighty eats another pack of Mini Cheddars

Not easy Russ, an ability to understand & play the game is required. Unless, of course, you wanted my job as "Expert". In which case, beng a young, cool dude is all that it takes.

you had kev on mate. I could never be an "expert" but im sure i could last longer in the comp than most of the fish you have had on so far. i will be honest- i just would love to perv at hells bells for a bit, bet you've never seen me speachless lol

Be serious Keith. As a Bees fan, do you seriously expect me to refer to the cretinous craw at Loftus Road? - they tried to buy out the Bees recently, as I recall. We started a "Save the Bees" campaign, & I purchased a square foot of turf from Fortress Griffin as my contribution. Cost me a quid. Our Manager at the time was Billy Gray - "all the way with Billy Gray" we used to sing. Bet they don't do chants like that these days.

It has to be said, Helen is a bit special. Tonight you can do even better though, Richard Orford & me......

The Barnsley fans forum is trying to figure out a chant for our two new Hungarian Strikers, Peter Razcji and Istvan Ferenczi (who has been nicknamed 'Steve' by his teammates).

One bright spark came up with:

Their goals
Win Games
But We Can't Pronounce Their Names
Pete 'n' Steve
Pete 'n' Steve

I'm hoping it catches on!  rotflmfao

Just met Leslie Grantham in the "Green Room". He's a lot older than he was when I last saw him, which was about 20 years ago.

Gordon Watson is indeed a footie bloke, & not the fella from Upstairs Downstairs. In fact, it's been suggested I am thinking of Gordon Jackson. That's poppycock.

 :hello: :hello:

I think Gordon Watson was involved in a court case for damages because of a tackle made a game when he was playing for bradford.

Yep here it is http://www.bradfordcityfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HistoryDetail/0,,10266~91615,00.html

Cheerio Rookie!!!!!!

BYE BYE!

This sky poker thing is comedy.

Has anyone checked what Leslie's got on his computer screen?  ;hide;

lol - webcam is on i can see.

just wanted to point out for anyone who didn't notice (like Tikay!!), that my call with  Qc 5s that tikay questioned saw me in the BB for 200 calling an all in of 300!

Anyway, I'm 4th atm :)

email: "Should I move in with a set on an all suited flop or make a feeler bet?"
