    Great post Teddy.

    I love cryptic crosswords.

    Technically, and as I'm sure you're well aware, you always need to have a concise definition in the clue somewhere. But I can see why you dropped it because otherwise you'd have to shoe-horn the words 'Sky Poker player' or 'Sky Poker presenter' into every clue which would be a bit tedious for you and everyone else.


    How about this one?

    On Sky Poker, panelists try mixing things up (4,8)

    I've actually fine-tuned it a little, which may help...
