Haven't played Sky for ages.....

 so in for the £3.50 sat in 5 mins  :)

Will try and actually make this, only been to 2 so far both at DTD and its a cracking weekend!

Am sadly otherwise engaged. Would have been fun. Next year instead.

VBOL to all who sail the good ship Next Door.

Brilliant will get into the satellites asap

Touch wood and hold out for direct buy in those £3.50 sats contain very little play and I run low on luck.
Roll on dtd

Managed to sat in last night so will be there. Any idea on what time each day will finish? Fairly good chance I will be out and at the bar before the dinner break but one likes to dream!

I'll play if tikay does.

1am Day 1

Day 2 depends on runners. Before midnight is the aim

My first post on Blonde may as well be one congratulating you on this mate.  I was worried when you didn't tweet about winning your seat but glad to see you have sneaked a thinly veiled brag in here...phew!

Direct Buy-In(£330) for all players is now open, effective immediately. Players can simply register directly through the Sky Poker Lobby, “SPT Grand Final” will appear in the highlighted section of the tournament lobby.

Adam!

About time you showed up. Tango Jacket has been here weeks.

Hi Tikay - yeah been meaning to get involved sooner but those real life things always get in the way!

I will try and post more from now on.  Unfortunately, I did have to bring your post to Mrs B's attention so she may have something to say about it (not for the first time eh!).

100% in.

Direct buy in is available via Sky, in the DTD Shop or over the counter at the club

There is always a mad rush in the 48 hours before the event, would recommend going early and booking/getting a seat.

Those who enter this will have the opportunity to play against Messrs Yong & Trumper, both of whom will be playing.

Bust them both. If you dare......

No need to worry about Trumper, he's Old Skool, Aces & Kings only. Rob's range is, to my keen eye, a shade or two wider. 

Are they Sky bounties ? Is that Sky sponsored pro playing ? That arrogance one I meant . He's IRISH

Julian is playing yes. Better take the swear box, Frankie, make some money for charity

Can we buy in for cash at DTD?

Yes Direct buy in via

- Sky Poker lobby NOW

- DTD Online Shop NOW

- Over the Counter at DTD from Thursday opening onwards

....but payment of winnings is ONLY via SkyPoker.com, by close of business next Tuesday. ;)

Thanks :)

     Another great event at DTD this weekend. 100% in. Great atmosphere generated by the SKY Team  and players. Be there.

Just a quickie... Gonna come down for this on Saturday. Have just tried logging into sky poker account (Played sky poker probs 3/4 year ago, so obv wasnt sure of any details) Sent reminder and its give me details for when ive used skybet/super 6....

Im pretty sure when i played sky poker in the past i had a diff username (Same username as on here)


Worried at slight chance i may have opened sky poker account and sky bet account. Just dont want any issues with possible multiple accounts if i play and i somehow cash etc

you can have your screen name that is visible to everyone AND a login name that is different.

SkyPoker and Sky Bet are a common wallet...one account to access both

As Andrew says, itis most often the case that you log into the site with one name and play on the tables with another

Nothing to worry about, the guys can take a look when you cash, and make sure the money goes into your account by checking the details with you

Okay cheers guys, I checked and it said there's never been a deposit, defo deposited in the past but I'm happy enough for them to take a look if I cash.

Cheers for the help

Tonight is the last night for Satellites on Sky Poker

£72 1 in 5 Semi final at 9.15pm

Aside from that - buy in at DTD tonight, tomorrow and probably Saturday with Late Reg for 6 levels

John
