[vegaslover]

Does  ed still present on sky? He's on ch4 all this week where he seems to get close to a rather famous model.

Don't know, he's playing cricket on Saturdays in the Sussex league

Seth Webber will be appearing on Sky Poker channel 865 tonight from 9pm. He will be analysing play from our final Viva Las Vegas Final, where 1 in 10 will win a £10k package to Vegas in July - there is a £110 Semi Final at 5pm if you want to take part too. We will also be covering our £12k Gtd Primo tournament. Get your questions for Seth coming in to skyopen@bskyb.com

The £110 Sky Roller is tomorrow night

I hear that a £220 Sky Roller is being introduced on Sunday nights, which I hope should suit the quite a few blondes who have been asking for a reasonable Sunday comp to be able to support Sky Poker through blonde

[TightEnd]

Meanwhile, Scotty77 has a new league with terrific added value

The Weekly TSP Lite League is gonna be run over the next 8 weeks on a Wednesday only.

You do NOT have to register interest in order to be eligable.

All you have to do is play at least FIVE of the 8 league events.  Of course you can play all 8 and its in your best interest as your best FIVE finishes will count.  These best finshes will then be averaged out, and you will then be placed in the league

£1.10 buy in

£250 GUARANTEED

7.30 Start time

Decent structure that mirrors the £11 TSP Classic with 10 minute blinds


1st £220 Sky Roller Sunday seat

2nd £110 Sky Roller Thursday seat

3rd £55 Primo Sunday seat

4th £33 Bounty Hunter Thursday seat

5th £22 Main Event seat (day of choice)

If you play all 8 weeks then your total outlay will be £8.80....doesn't take a maths genius to work out the fantastic value in taking part in this league!

Not only that but there will be weekly bounty prizes for taking out either me or any other member of Team Sky Poker (including Orford and Tikay if they are free to play).  So if you take us out, then you will get FREE entry into next weeks event.



Looks very nice indeed, well done scotty

Hope it's ok to post this here


Each and every Monday on Sky Poker
   
 

  MONDAY FORUM DTD INCLUDING THE JUNE LEAGUE


Hi all  the Forum DTD is Last Longer which takes place every Monday & as a Bonus Sky Adam has put up a £5-50 ToT Entry for the following Friday



The structure is 3 Tourneys lowest score wins (see below) to take part simply post on the thread BEFORE Monday 7-10pm.(if it's allowed I'll place a link

Here's how it is going to work.

Your 3 scores are added together & the lowest wins the Prize



Your score in each tournament will be based on your finishing position.
So, if you finish 1st, 5th and 92nd your score will be 1 + 5 + 92 = 98

Please note that in the event of a tie the player with the lowest finishing position in a comp will be deemed the winner

eg if 2 players both finish on 30 pts and 1 finishes a tourny in 1st & the other 2nd the player finishing in the 1st place will be deemed the winner


  7-15pm Deepstack    buy-in £2-20

 
  8-30pm Totty           buy-in £2-20

  7-45pm Deepstack   buy-in £1-10




If you have any questions i will try to answer them on this thread.

Just regged for a £210 HU and my table won't even load.

Nothing wrong with my machine at all.

Sorry about that, Cos - I have checked the Tech Logs, & there were no reported problems last night, & I'm not aware that anyone else had a problem. There are no mentions of problems last night on the Sky Poker Forum, either, & as a general rule, they are not shy at mentioning problems.

Were you using the browser version, or the Download?

If you can give me some further feedback, I'll try & investigate further.

If we can establish it was Sky Poker's problem, I will arrange Free Entry to a decent Tourney by way of apology, or compensation.

Cos, I have now had that fully investigated.

It appears that in the first instance, it was a HU SNG, & there was NOT another opponent, so that was why the Table did not load - there was not an opponent. It only loads a SNG HU IF an opponent appears, & it would seem they were too scared to play you.....

Later, you did play some HU, I gather, & you also played, without any problems from what I'm told, some £1.50-£3 Cash. You wanted to play some Omaha Heads Up, too, but once again, you scared away all the punters.....

Hope that clears up any confusion.

Any further probs, let me know, please.

PS - You have a PM from me.

Hi Teeks,

Cheers for the pm.

Seems like some of the above info is incorrect though.

I played the cash games before entering the sng (none after). I registered for the SNG because there was already another player registered (Lolufold). I wouldnt have entered if there was going to be a wait.

I got a friend to log in on his computer and then took over via remote control from there with a 2800-1200 chip deficit. Obviously I still beat Lolu but I want to start playing a bit more on there, (like in the blonde PLO league etc) and I can't risk this happening in tournies.

Is there anything I can do to make sure it doesn't?

Cheers,

Cos

Not that I'm aware of, because it's not a problem I'm familiar with, & nobody else experienced such problems last night that I am aware of.

It's true to say that the Tables on Sky Poker often take up to 30 seconds to first load, & then initialise, but that irritant (which has always been the case) will be solved by Monday or Tuesday, when a new super-fast Lobby & Table-Loading thingymajig will be "released".

I may have got the sequence of the games you played last night confused, sorry, but my point is/was, that presumably you never had the problem on the other Tables, I'm guessing?

As to the HU SNG, I can only assume Lolufold de-regged when he saw you getting interested in his money, Redmond is no fool......

Anyway, as promised this morning, a Free Entry, by way of compensation & apology, awaits you. Tough field, though, Thewy, MC, Bazza Carter, me......

Tyvm that's much appreciated.

Sky will be seeing a lot more of me. I want the £5.50 PLO title tonight, almost as much as I want to bust you in it.
