Good morning.

The Sky Poker Cash Game, which began airing on Sky Sports 2 weeks ago, makes its debut on Channel 861 this evening, when Episode 1 will be shown.

The Shows are slightly longer on Channel 861 (55 minutes rather than 45 minutes), so are not quite the same as those already seen on Sky Sports.

Commentary is by James Hartigan & Joe Stapleton.

The Channel 861 transmission times for Episode 1 are as follows....

9pm Monday February 18th. (This evening). 

Repeated..... 

Tuesday 19th February, Midnight, straight after the Live Show. 

Wednesday 20th February, 9am. 

Thursday 21st February, 2pm.
 
Friday 22nd February, 7pm

Saturday 23rd February, 10pm

Sunday 24th February, 6pm, immediately preceding the Super Roller Live Show.
 
Episode 2 will air NEXT Monday, & will follow a similar pattern, but I'll try & remind you nearer the time.

    Hi Liam,

    Yes. Ryan, Redmond & Carlo all spend varying amounts of time at the table during the 6 Episodes.

    That Rob Young is awful. What an embarrassment to poker he is.

    Watched the 1st 2 shows but wont be watching again.  Bunch of mickey mouse players tbh..

    awful advert for skypoker,  but then again this is the standard you come to expect playing this site

    Rob Young calls a 3/4 pot bet on the flop with NO PAIR NO DRAW (Q.3) calls pot size bet on the turn with still NO PAIR NO DRAW (Q.3) rivers a 3 outer making top piar Q's with 3 kicker and gets talked about like he is some poker hero. 

    Any other joe bloggs did that they would be ridiculed for playing like such an AMATUER

    PLEASE let me get in a game with Rob Young.

    Embarrassment of a player

    I know sky poker is the weakest standard anywhere online but this cash game line up takes the biscuit.  Bunch of bingo players

    are we sure this is episode 1 on 861 just now.

    the intro didnt suggest that, and james said lets get back to the action before a hand was shown. plus people had won and lost money on graphic at start.

    i aint seen it on sky sports so forgive me if im a little confused

    To the best of my knowledge, yes, it is Episode 1, but mistakes have been known......

    Bear in mind that around 20 hours of real play had to be condensed into about 5.5 hours of footage, so a lot of hands did not make the Edit.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

    How cringeworthy is this?

    Spittles 4 bets with JJ,  tightest player at the table by a mile and couldnt even spell bluff let alone make a bluff yet Rob **** deicdes to 5bet all in with 49 and flops a flush

    makes you sick when these muppets constantly play like total spewtards yet hit everything

    no wonder this site has the worst standard of online player anywhere online


    5bets all in with 49 against the tightest player at the table.


    calls 4bets with a8 off suit,  gets shown KK and still calls with 58

    So, the Post-Mortem took place this morning.......
     
    The Tapes were correctly labelled, but somehow, ingest must have loaded the wrong Episode.

    How do these things happen?, as the chap said in Garrison Keiller's wonderful "Lake Wobegon Days", after he & his nagging wife stopped at a service station for apple pie & coffee, & the hubbie drove off & somehow left her behind? She was not best pleased.....

    Official responsibility is being laid at the doors of Orford & MAXALLY. Seems reasonable.

    Anyway, it has been sorted out now, & our apologies for the mix-up.
