Congratulations to everyone who has had fun trying to get into this and to the top 10 (3) who finally got selected.
Sky imo have tried to offer a new TV format and should be commended for it. Next year at the WSOP ME we will have a Total Player we all voted for, can you imagine rooting for them to go deep! it's going to be great. It was good this year, following Dan and Will into the money, but next year we will be partly responsible for one of the ME players being there. We will truly own a 'community stake' in one of the players.
On a personal note I know that Rich and TK would never be associated with anything unfair, end of story and that Sky try their best to keep the punters happy.
If Sky decide to not try TP next year then so be it, but for now it's a innovative idea and as in most things in life, innovation often causes upset at the start.
As for myself I know this time I will not have the time etc to go for it, but I want us to send a player with the potential to turn into a v v good player and attend the WSOP. Good luck everyone & well done SKY.
very well done penguin dan and cottland. i used to play against penguin alot in the early stages and he used to scare the h ell out of me, if he bet i folded, so i no he is a great player. also dan is fab goin to vegas and doin very well. cant say i no cottland but he must be great as well. so very well done guys. xxx
Thanks all for your kind comments, ill try my best to stay in the competition and will be doing my upmost to represent the sky poker community! Dan Posted by dantb10
In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD : I was never angry and its becoming obvious to me that I must have hit on something given the email I recieve from sky this morning saying that the "privelige" of going on the forum will be denied to me (sob sob). You can come on here and bully me all you like but I have my opinion and it seems to have rattled the lot of you. I did say last night that I wasn't going to waste anymore effort on this subject but it seems to warrant furthur inspection. I will try OFFOM see what they can do. I would like to remind you orford tikay and the rest that you can't ban me off other forums for stating an opinion. Typical luvvie types who cant take a hint of critiscism without flying into a strop. Aceten Posted by acetenolol
I have to say I'm a little disappointed to read this, I am a big fan of the show and a big big fan of Tikay and Rich who I think are the best bit about it. However, I think a forum should be there for someone to give his/her opinion whether sky or the rest of us agree with it or not, and not just there to say positive things about the show or the site. We need to remember that this is 2009, England and not 1940, Germany.

Yes thankyou for that.
I think its worthwhile to note that I expected an avalanche of messages opposing my views but the pms I have had and the relative silence on here is leading me to think that there may be more than a ripple of discontent with the programme.
I also note that although people will PM me they are too afraid to come on here because of the overeaction of sky and the presenter in particular who attacked me on a personal level.
It appears that all the poker players are equal on sky poker but some are more equal than the others , to borrow from George Orwell quite aptly.
Maybe the sky team think its 1984 or as you say Germany 1940.

May i just say that the sky presenters etc do a gr8 job and this is the only site that has the forum debates and i for one dont want sky taking this brilliant forum AWAY for blatant abuse from other so called community members,,
I am very disappointed in the way that this thread has turned. We are all be offered entry into a once in a lifetime competition and all we have to do is play our own game at our own level to be in the running. Anyone who starts chasing a place will be playing the wrong game or at the wrong stakes for them. All players should stick to the games they are best at or enjoy most and play within their bankroll. Because of making stupid mistakes and blowing my somewhat small roll i am currently not active on the tables which means that i stand no chance of being considered. But i am following this avidly and i will be very happy for whoever is selected, and i hope they go on to do themselves and the rest of the community proud.
To many people on this site want something for nothing and complain when they dont get it. This is a big prize sky are giving away and to enter the running you do not need to do anything extra. We are here to play poker so just get on the tables and enjoy yourselves and maybe make some money. That is the way to stand a chance not moaning in the forums.
In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD : No and its a busy week for many with xmas coming . I'm disapointed with TP now noone was told about the seven mtts . Its an absolute con job this. The players were picked before the week started. My a££e on you skypoker As for you giddins take a look at your own play you sucked it last night. Posted by acetenolol
so you think its ok to carry on this way in the forum ?
Amusing show. Funniest thing was that LOLUFOLD was too balla to reveal his real name on tv. Dan, obviously a good pick, and Penguin is decent player too, but you could train a goldfish to beat up SKY mtt's. So Dan slots in at ante-post fav.9/4. 7 barrrrrrr. Posted by NOGIMMICKS
lolufold real name, its not hard look at WSOP day 1A chip leader 2009

I DO have thoughts on your views but I expect that like myself the vast majority of people who have read your comments are treating them with the contempt that they deserve and ignoring you.
Hi guys, please can i remind you that this forum is for open friendly discussion and a few of the posts on this thread are getting close to breaking our house rules.
Constructive criticism is fine as every body is welcome to have their own opinions on certain topics but it is when these turn into personal attacks that action has to be taken.
So please bear in mind not to be abusive or cause offence to individuals when writing your posts and continue to use the forum as it was intended.
Thank you for being understanding and continue to enjoy our community,
Penguin7 - someone who I am always wary of in mtt's. Dan's achievements speak for them self. And Cotlad who I play alot of cash sessions with is an excellent player also.

I will work on my complaint with some help which has been offered .
I wont be threateed by sky , sky presenters or anyone else.
Lets just see what happens to this "competition".
As I said the subject would be dead and buried if I hot not recieved threatening emails and posts from the sky team this morning.
