The Sky Poker thread

1 x £10k Vegas package up for grabs at skypoker.com tomorrow evening at 9pm....and only 4 players reg'd so far at £1100 per pop. You can satellite in by playing tomorrows 5pm semi-final - 1 in 10 will win a seat into the final. The Nevada desert beckons for someone....will it be you?

This made the 10 runners needed so no overlay - 4 people bought direct in before 9pm.

Possible overlay?

I was never worried.........

Who won ?

Well done Lol-Raise, who is currently killing the Sky Poker Cash Tables week after week, & been top of the Cash Leaderboard for months now. He gets some volume in!

Unlucky Beaneh, 2nd in the Sky Roller, 2nd in this. Next month, in the May Final, maybe it will be his turn.

ok thanks

the hot-o-meter is quite frankly the best fkn thing i have seen on a site since the cocktails on paradise poker.

[titaniumbean]

don't trust the hot ometer it lies!!!!!

Is there really no DBI to SPT events? I'd quite like to contribute to the prize pool and give some rake but I don't want to tear my eyes out playing a £20 satellite.

Thanks

There is a direct buy in to the final at DTD, not to the legs beforehand

After the Leeds event on 7th May, Cardiff satellites should start the week after


what's your Sky alias please?

You might want to have a word with the techies about the "I've forgotten what my user ID is" feature - sending it encrypted might be just a tad too secure  Some might give up at this point and play elsewere.

Whoops, apologies for that.

I mentioned your problem to Suit-City, & I believe they are going to ring you up, apologise, & sort it out for you.

I replied to the above email and someone sensible replied within 30 minutes and sorted it straight away.

And just had a very nice chap called Richard call from Suit City to see if he could help.

Top performances all round.

Well "sensible" was certainly not me, obv, & I'm surprised that Richard was "nice", that'd be Mr Richard Milner, Head of Poker.

He's from Yorkshire, speaks funny, & he's only 12. Why is everyone so bloody young these days?

Anyway, I'm glad it got sorted for you, any probs, just shout.

I had this problem a couple of weeks ago.  It was apparently due to having a different Sky Bet account opened, as you can only have one account on the Sky sites.

The Sky Bet account had been opened via Sky's Super 6 football comp on a Saturday (even though I'd never deposited) so this issue might catch a few unsuspecting users out.

It was very quickly resolved over the telephone.
