Title: Want to watch the Poker Gods? SKY is the place!
Post by: tikay on January 11, 2006, 09:30:31 PM
Startling news today from William Hill.

SKY TV have snapped up the William Hill Grand Prix, & Heat 1 will be shown NEXT TUESDAY at 10pm, in a 2 hour show.

The first Heat features the David Icke-alike Plil Laak, and an all star cast.

All the Heats, Semi-Final, & Final, will be shown on Sky, every Tuesday, 10pm.

By all accounts, this event is a must-see.

It had been announced that it would first be shown on Poker 425, starting this Friday, but that has now been CANCELLED, although I fancy it may be transmitted on 425 later in the year.

The William Hill Grand Prix featured a whole host of blondeites, including Brian "The Rookie" Wlson, The Boy Thewy, Monty Burns, Mr Cool, Greg Junior Hill, Smokin Steve, Bad Girl, At-It Bradley, and many others.

Commentary is also blonde dominated, with Jesse May in the hot seat, ably assisted by Lucy Rokach.

Forget Deal or No Deal, forget Celeb Big Bore-ther, watch The Gods of Poker!

1st heat next tuesday on Sky Sports 2 - this may change in future weeks & appear on Sky Sports 1 or 3, depending on Sky's schedules.

Grandad? Who he?

OK, OK, I did my full-on Spam, & forgot which Channel.....

Next week's Heat will be on SKY SPORTS 2, though I believe it will hop around over the weeks between the various Sky Sports Channels, in that mysterious way that Sky programmes do.

Have you tried turning it off at the wall and on again?  Usually sorts things out.  You could call Sky too, they are usually pretty good and do stuff straight away.

Dont you need to know the frequencies and other settings when adding channels?

Ian, how are you? Hope you had a good xmas & new year. Will you be in Luton for the main event next weekend?


Title: Re: Want to watch the Poker Gods? SKY is the place!
Post by: Gamblor21 on January 11, 2006, 11:42:19 PM
fine thanks wormster, hope you had a good one aswell...

I might be in luton next week, and if i go it will be for the end of the week!

I always enjoy luton so i would like to get down there, hope to see everyone again... You missed a very good blonde bash!

If tikay does'nt go on the cruise, and heads to luton instead then i'll go as the comps will be value added! He lasted 2 hands longer than normal at the blonde bash...

OK Bradley, OK.

You will be pleased to hear that, sadly, I will have to miss Luton next week, which I'm gutted about, but them's the breaks.

Give me a ring please Ian, or PM me, I tried to ring you tonight, but your 'phone not responding.

As I had a vested interest in this event I am bound to say what a great tournament this is but you must try to tune into this event. The structure was very good and this led to some very good poker, this is proper poker, not huge blinds and all in every other hand, good solid bluff and counter bluff stuff. Its Late Night Poker but sexier(that was Vicky Coren,not me), the players are a nice mix between experienced pro's and top class newcomers and you must watch out in heat two for one of the biggest tells I have ever seen......and from one of the top players too.

There are some great performances from forum contributors too and as At It said it will be great to see all the cards from the big hands. Presentable and William Hill have made the best poker show for a long time.....don't miss it!!

Can't agree more... do you see my eye twitch when i bluff??? well i best stop twitching, as i can't stop bluffing!

Been playing much poker in leeds phil? i might be down in a few weeks if you fancy meeting for a game, and some drinks!

think there is a few off blonde in leeds now, could be good... maybe the freezeoout at the start of feb!


Title: Re: Want to watch the Poker Gods? SKY is the place!
Post by: bobby1 on January 12, 2006, 12:09:28 AM
I heard on the grapevine that you made the freezeout at Gala on the first Friday one month, do you fancy that comp in Feb

Would be great to catch up again. I didnt see your eyes twitch but I can usually tell when you are bluffing...you put chips in the middle.


Title: Re: Want to watch the Poker Gods? SKY is the place!
Post by: Gamblor21 on January 12, 2006, 12:15:00 AM
Lol... Yeah i told him to say hello!

It was good fun, one of my best mates lives in leeds now so i have been down a few times! only once for poker... Maybe i should leave it at that! 1 from 1, finals that is!

They eventually caught me bluffin! the one in feb sounds good... Nothing else is on i don't think so it seems like a plan!

don't try and bluff me phil, I can't pass against you!

See you in the final!

Great news, i was there watching for a weekend and the set looked fantastic.
The 2 heats i watched, where i won a few quid on the winner , ssshhh i cant say who that would spoil it.

Post by: tikay on January 12, 2006, 02:04:40 AM
Good point Cupcake, many of you know the results, but please don't spoil it by mentioning the winners & losers until the shows have aired.

But that Phil Laak interview would be cool.......

Whatever he's on, it ain't Ovaltine.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the first heat, it will be worth watching. look out for the unibomber targetting steve jellinek with his table talk, everytime steve jelinek puts chips in the middle, Laak shouts steeeeeeeve are you sure you mean to do that ... its very funny.
