Sky Poker Tour

[Dingdell]

After all the T & C hoohah on this thread about the Viva Las Vegas Promotion, where I got a bit bashed up, anyone with an iota of sense would not mention any more Sky-Poker WSOP stuff......

So, Sky Poker have now announced a further "Mini-Vegas" package.

Paid entry into WSOP $1500 NLH tournament, to be run over 2 days on the 29th June 2009 in Las Vegas , Nevada , USA .

Flights for 2 people.

Hotel accommodation for 14 days.
 
Satellites will commence on Sky Poker on 30th March, with two monthly finals on 24th April and 29th May.

Cheap & cheerful!

I don't have ANY other details to hand, but will advise when I do.

But I do know that if you sign up to Sky Poker via blonde, blonde get a bit of financial benefit.

So, if you are interested in this Mini-Vegas package, & don't have a Sky Poker Account, please sign up via th link on blonde.

Thanks.

Other sites are available for qualification including Blonde. For avoidance of doubt.

Oh, absolutely!

I'd love you to play such a thing on blonde, assuming there is one.

You pays your money, & you takes your choice.

Please don't say "for the avoidance of doubt", as it tilts up one of our Members.

 I was planning on playing this event on the 29th June as part of the Blonde syndicate but will try and qualify for this Sky thing(and play the 26th for blonde),was just wondering is the promotions flights/hotel package mandatory or can you take expenses as i've already booked my travel.
 Anyone one know of any other sites that are running wsop "lite" promotions?

To be honest, I'd imagine someone at Sky put the T&C about the shirt in there simply because it's the sort of T&C you get in these WSOP packages, without really giving it the level of thinking we have here.

Given the amount of money Sky have put into building their poker room, I doubt they'd have any trouble matching any offer one of their players might receive from Stars or Tilt, and it would undo a lot of their hard work if they were to suddenly get a lot of bad publicity for treating their player like a serf.

No (first para) it was put in deliberately, I imagine, after last year's experience, when one of our players went very deep, & the shirt-hawking/money dangling was very evident.

As to Para 2, you are assuming Sky would not look after any of their players who went deep. That's incorrect, & I think it's a little unfair, & presumptous, to assume they'd treat one of their layers like a "serf", as you know I'd not associate myself with that sort of thing. But they would insist - absolutely insist - on "first dibs", quite rightly in my view.

Will Brewin made 118th last year, & got $40,000+ for his troubles. On top of which Sky Poker looked after him "suitably" in my, & Will's view, by rewarding him with a WSOP-E seat, & potentially more sponsorship. Will was delighted with his treatment by Sky, & remains a very big player on Sky Poker to this day - he tops our Leaderboard most months.

And Will Brewin does it again

Sorry for late reply, only just spotted this.

The package is as a "whole", & so far as I am aware, cannot be segmented.

Mission accomplished finished 2nd which looked well out of the picture at 1 stage when i called an all in with  but couldnt live against the  which hit,that left me with 15000 with blinds at 10k/5k 1k ra but kept pushing in all the right times and eventually went HU pretty even.

Didnt have much in the way of cards all day but played really well imo until the exit hand

I should have folded my  when oppo shoved all in but just put him on 2 paints obv he had  and hit the 10 twice ah well

Just over £1k and £220 seat @ DTD final

Am hoping to get the seat value back as i had already qualified

Was a really enjoyable day as usual with skypoker Tikay,compo and the rest of the gang just work so well together and I'm sure Tikay just works on auto pilot sometimes he just dont stop 

great venue, great day bring on the final...........

Just had email from sky saying All seats won through satellites are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for another leg of the tour or given to another player.

 Bit gutting really as could have done with the £220 

[duncthehat]

So far cost me £50 to try and qualify for Grand final, guess it will be a direct buy in
