Are you In-Poker?

[tikay]

If so, there's a whizzo new Poker Magazine Show, the second pilot of which airs at 8.30pm tonight on Channel 865.

There's still some tweaking to do with the tone & pace, & some severe tweaking to the pundit, but we are nearly there & the next Edition wiill be pretty spiffing. For now, marvel in Compo's truly horrific fashion sense, in a suit you'd rather not be seen dead in.

This Edition covers the Brighton GUKPT Final, interviews with all the Finalists, & some other stuff. Also, an Andy Black piece, which was actually quite good I thought, and a nice interview with Jonathan Raab, about his baby.

And Pre-Final, every Finalist was interviewed, & told us how he planned the Final to pan out. Mark their words, there was some jaw-droppers in there.....

Feedback welcome, on everything, except the aged pundit, who, as they may say of a poorly performing racehorse, "has improvement in him, will perform better next time".  Groan.

Seriously, take a look, 8.30 tonight, Channel 865. Watch it whilst you play the blonde League, please. There, hats juggled, everyone happy.

I'm off out, in case I get tempted to watch.

PS - I will accept ofers from £50 up for the Tie I wore. Compo's Suit is on special offer at the PoundShop, BOGOF.

This really annoys me, whilst taking nothing away from Jon this was a huge team effort from all of us, Zac, Ian, Russell and myself put in 100 hr weeks and god knows how many miles traveling for meetings, and yet all we hear is jon this and jon that.

OK, if you give me £60 I'll take the tie

You may have a point, he does garner a lot of recognition for the GUKPT, but I think you read too much into this particular post. I'm sure it wasn't meant how it may have sounded.

[phatomch]

it wasn't meant at this particular post , more the general thing of Jon getting all the recognition, and then Grosvenor and the td's getting the slagging of due to rulings.

Can you get SkyPoker on Virgin cable?

So was it not JR's idea?

I may be the public face/spokesman of the GUKPT, but I am not out to hog the limelight and I have always made a point of saying that the success of the GUKPT is not just down to me. Here is a link to a video on the thenutz.tv that I did at Brighton and as you will see I make a point of saying that everyone involved with the running of the tour deserves recognition as well. I may have received the Staff Person gong at the European Poker Awards, but I accepted it on behalf of everyone I work with.

I have always seen it that way JR, but I can't thank everyone by name, I don't even know them all.

You are the guy with his head above the parapet. When it goes well, you are the hero, when it goes wrong, you get the stones thrown at you.

It was always so. I see no problem in acknowledging your efforts, & by default, I'm acknowledging the efforts of the entire Team.

You all did good. End of.

I think its just the nature of awards ceremonies that individuals get the gongs, that the public face of a team effort have their names etched on the trophies. Everytime I've seen Jon he is always saying 'we' instead of 'me' with regards to the GUKPT, always praising every facet of the tour from dealers to TDs to players and ALWAYS defending the people he works with.

Loved the show btw, please say there will be more. Did anyone notice Tikay end his segment with Nick Holbrook by saying "yo!" for no particular reason?

Sigh. I was engaging with the kidz.

Next Episode I'm gonna engage with the old folks. "I say old chap", sorta thing.

Multi-dimensional stuff.

I'm very hopeful we can refine it into a great Show over the coming months.

My post may of come across wrong, I don't begrudge Jon any of the limelight or his well earned award or imply that he tries to hog the limelight. just that the td's and russell i know put in 100 hr+ weeks when these fessies are on and the only mention they generly get are when we get a norkage shot of dena or a ruling is made people dont agree with. I havn't worked for Grosvenor for over a year and I have more reason to hate them than most people out there but the staff work very hard and i would like to see that appreciated more.

 

[Karabiner]

Damn apparantly I missed the show as I just read this and thought it was today

Will it be repeated, on "The Clothes Show" maybe ?

In a previous life, I repeatedly set up & recorded interviews on Poker 425 & Poker Week with the TD's, & Dealers, & I would imagine that In-Poker will do the same. And I large up Grosvenor left right & centre, & have done for years. I really don't know what else to say. A big up to Grosvenor, or the GUKPT, is a big up to all involved.

Sadly, as to norkage shots, they are a bit non-pc, but if you want to stare at me & mentally undress me, I will not take offence. It happens a lot, you know.

Clearly, you never saw Compo's Suit.
