    Just wanted to say thank you for all the kind comments and support, this is definately going to be a tough comp to stay in with a chance to possibly represent sky in vegas. I for one will be fully behind whoever makes it there, whether I get booted or not b4 the casting vote is decided.

    The winner will not be picked by "any Tom, **** or Harry". The winner will be picked by the Forum Members & Players, aka our Community.

    I'm not being obdurate here, but I'm struggling to see what is a "grey area" about that.

    It's absolutely fine to disagreee with how the Rules have been framed, but it's a little late to raise these issues now that the thing is up & running. The T & C's have not been changed. Naturally, those who think the Rules are unfairly framed, are not obliged to take part.

    Perhaps, perhaps not. Clearly, one of us is.

    I've tried to answer your questions concisely & honestly, & have given you Links to the Total Player Home Page, & T & C's.

    I have to move on now, I'm sorry.

    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!

    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

    Is it possible to keep this thread about saying wd to the 6 rather than keep posting your post 4 times sealacey?

    i for one think the 6 chosen are very good worthwhile players

    Unlucky Dohhh. I can't pretend it was an easy choice - I was presented with some excellent players. Personally, when I come round to my next selection I'll certainly be looking in on the other 7 from my initial 10 before moving on so it's not all over yet!

    Congrats on at least being part of the 10 - keep it up and you never know...

    Cheers

    Matt

    In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD : i never attack or attacked anyone on sky , i merely defending for the lower stake players , my point is the system in which this contest is set up, favours the high rollers.
    Posted by IRISHROVER
    I was tasked to find the best players - simple as that. If anyone wants to dispute I picked the best players from my 50 then so be it, but having spent a long time pouring over their results and hands (don't forget we showed only a tiny fraction of the data used to come to the final picks) I'm confident I picked the best players regardless of what level they were playing at. No one at Sky has put any pressure on me to pick high rollers. As I think I mention in my interview elsewhere on the site, good poker looks the same whether it's 5p/10 or £5/£10. I didn't pay much attention to the levels during my own evaluation - just the hand selection, bet sizing, use of position, etc.

    A big TIP to future posible Total Player candidates is to give detailed self-analysis if you are approached and asked to submit some keys hands. It was very tough to choose just 3 from my 10, and ultimately their self-analysis was key to my final decision, so be sure to explain yourselves fully.

    Good luck

    Congrats Naomi. Obviously I had to review a huge amount of data before making my choices and you clearly have the abilities we're looking for. Good luck in the coming weeks. Don't forget, week 1 is ABBA week, so get practicing.
