    Hi Cottlad,

    It took a tad longer than i'd anticipated, but come tomorrow morning all the show will be available. I haven't forgotten you and it is a priority for tomorrow.

    Sorry!

    So, today, Boxing Day, is Episode THREE of Total Player.

    This week's Mentor is Matt Broughton. Will you be one of his Final Ten, or even one of his three "picks"?

    No good asking me - I don't know. But I will tonight.

    10pm - 11pm, Channel 865.

    Something it may be worth pointing out.........

    Tonight's List of Ten, (from which Matt will select his first three picks) is based on LAST WEEK's player performamce - NOT THIS WEEK.

    This weeks efforts will be reflected in NEXT week's Show.

    I can confirm our  pre selected players (those asked to send in hands,) has finally been whittled down to 10....
     
    Not even Tikay knows who they are as I have just found out the top ten myself!

    It's an incredibly strong line up this week - i don't envy Matt at all!

    Hi just seen a total poker player COWGOMOO on sky poker at the sam time i was playing him on master cash table 10 for an hour and he is pathetic every hand i was involved with him i came out on top he gave me hords of abuse and yet i still continued to take his money his excuse was it was just for fun what a great choice you made i out played him, used his useless game against him , got him  to bet with the worst , re raise with pathetic hands and fold the best hand and during this time he  criisised us for being , in his words "low level trash" yet 3 players on this table out classed him in a similar way as i did and showed him up for the fool he is ... if i was you swap him for JAMMYBEE , DIABLO1967 , BENDOG40 or my self as we all showd ths fool up and he made himself look silly with his play his speech and his critisism

    First of all congratulations to Pokerbcity and Cowgomoo who also made top 3 wd! and very deserved.
    There was alot of strong competition in the Top 10, so I am absolutely thrilled to be given this opportunity. I just hope I survive the expectations!

    pokerbcity gets picked for total player ,

    he has been over twice representing skypoker in vegas ,

    its a shame someone new could not have been put forward,

    just my thoughts ,

    there is a lot of very good players on sky ,

    that should have been giving that chance,

    it seems matt you played it safe,

    i think the mentors should not be on a percentage of the players winnings ,

    they are disregarding  improving players for the safer more established players,

    hence it has hindered this contest,

    the mentors should have been payed a flat once off fee .

    Just to reiterate:

    All players featured in this evening's TOTAL PLAYER fulfilled the requirement of being in the top 50 most successful players on Sky Poker during the selection period.

    From those 50, players were asked to provide hand histories with additional notes to explain their thinking, the mentor used this information to determine his final 10, and subsequent final 3.

    Every player who made the top 10 deserved to be there - and it is now their responsibility to keep their spot and earn the respect of fellow players if they're to have any hope of becoming Sky Poker's TOTAL PLAYER.

    We want the best in all respects, game, style and ability.

    Lets pick a winner together!

    I understand your thinking about this,it would be great for a new player to have a chance, but as someone who has already been picked I have no problems at all with the selection of Will (or Dan). Yes its going to be tough, but at the end of the day its about good poker, and I relish the challenge of pitting my wits against them and all of the other great players. Personally I would like the eventual winner to come from one of our tournament regulars because I see how good they are every day, but Dan and Will are also awesome tournament players. The other thing to remember is the eventual winner will be chosen by us on the forum, which will be the opportunity for you,and others to express their views

    I hear what Rover says, but it would seem to me to be incredibly unfair to bar ANY Sky Poker player from this just because he or she has been successful previously.

    Anyway, the Rules are quite clear, & have been since the start - ALL Sky Poker players are eligible.
