Sky Poker Tour Grand Final at DTD: 8-9 Sept

[tikay]

I'm having a bit of a dither about this as playing golf in a medal on Saturday.

How many chips would I lose if I were to turn up around 5.30pm.?

It would be proper grand if you could be there, Ralph.

It is unfortunate that it  clashes with UKIPT Newcastle, too, but presumably 70% of the UKIPT field will bust on days 1a and 1b (Thursday and Friday) and I'm rather hoping a few of the lads will then come play our event.

Whatever, we are hoping for a fun event.

Anna Fowler will be there too, I know she would love to meet you.

Now that's taking schmooze to a whole new level.

Confession time: I did not know who Anna Fowler is so google imaged "Anna Fowler poker".

At most, only 2 of the first 4 are her, surely?

How did Wild Bill Hickock get in there?

Lucky bugger..

When I open that page, the first 4 are ALL of Anna, but maybe it rotates the images.

Some confusion may arise, though, because her day job is as a professional photographer, & she has a Studio in Fulham or somewhere equally posh.

She will be at the SPT Grand Final at DTD this weekend to conduct "interviews to camera" for Channel 865.

She's a really smashing kid, no edge or attitude, what you see is what you get, & she is an absolute delight to work with. She does the "dumb girl" routine, but she's as bright as a button, very sharp indeed.

Fair enough. Just me then! Second and third images on my phone are Nick Pesaud and your good self.

Do you recruit yourself, Tikay?

The Nick Persaud image is for Poker Channel, for whom Anna used to work, might still do, I'm not sure.

Do I recruit the "Talent"? No, not as such.

They split easily into 2 groups - Presenters, & Analysts or Experts.

The Presenters (Anna, Sarah, Hartigan, Orford etc), are by definition professional TV presenters. Agencies send us names, we give them screen tests (I'm always the stooge in the screen-tests - I make a good stooge) but I have no further input really.

The Analysts/Experts - I don't recruit as such, but I get a major say in recommending who we use, advising as to their suitability, in fact that was my first role at Sky Poker - Consultant to the TV Channel. Understanding poker is only a small part of being a TV Poker analyst - more important, FAR more important, is their ability to get "on message", understand & deliver "call to action", using acceptable language & tone, much of which seems to be a very tough ask for some.

I've just tried to buy in for this but the DTD shop doesn't seem to be working currently.

So I tried to deposit into my sky account to register that way and it's been suspended!

I finally got into the DTD shop and my card was declined so after half an hour on the phone finding out that something had triggered a "fraud block" my card was back in working order and I am now registered. I've never worked so hard to enter a poker tourney.

It's a good job that bird is dying to meet me..
