I don't think the serious people at Sky believe that 1 hand is an effective sample of a players ability; especially when I am so clearly no on tilt and not playing my true game. I, however, believe results over a consistent period of time or #hands to be a more reliable measure of skill. So if at any time you want to compare results over the last year, I'll be more than willing to compare graphs/poker tracker stats with you.
If you want to talk poker theory and strategy with me you're more than welcome... or if on the other hand you believe you have an edge on me...
I'll play you anywhere, any stakes, any time. You name the time and place and I'll be there.
If,however, and quite likely, you don't take me up on either of those offers, I look forward to seeing you nit it out on the tables in the near future.
All the best
Lewis
P.S I missed you tonight, I didn't catch you up for selection. oops.
Congratulations to Matt's 3 picks on tonights show. A bit gutted not to be chosen after his analysis of my hands but obviously the other 3 players were better prospects than me. Still i've had my 5 mins of fame and I fully understand why he chose the players he did. Good Luck to all who have made the grade. I have 1 more chance so its back to the low limit grind for me. Its all I can afford. Hope to see you all at the tables.

UL tonight fella.
With regards the Stien post - very classy obv.
I would like to shake hands with the player who hasn't played tons of hands badly - I don't think they exist in reality.
If people want to come on here and try and embarrass players then go ahead - just consider that it probably shows you in a poorer light, than the person you are trying to embarrass.
I thought I'd get your attention, just winding you up, but seriously what were you thinking on the turn, I hate him, i'll hit on the river and stack him, on the river?????????????????? A bit harsh calling me a nit when you play G all the time, BTW I still think your shove to the 4 bet with QQ pf to that unknown 1st hand was a marginal play.
Sorry if I upset the old boys network, BrownDog, yourself, G9, Glitterbabe the pro's it's like an exclusive club. Can I not have a bit of fun? Sure i've played a load of hands badly, buts that's how we learn, I just expect better from a pro who claims to earn 200k a year, that was the figure in the chat box. It's bad enough when the fish suck out, without the pro's trying to beat the odds.

Not a problem Stien - if you were having a bit of fun, then ok. But it didn't quite come across that way to me.
BTW, I ain't no pro - suppose I should take that as a compliment.
Just want to say a big thank-you to Matt for selecting me, and thankyou to everyone who has shown their support. To see my name on screen between 2 fulltime pro's and probably the 2 players with the biggest bankrolls on sky was an honour. I know I have some doubters, but this is my time to prove I can play poker with the best of them and im not just a forum poster/emailer.
No idea what the "Challenges" will be, but I will give it 110% (I could do 111% but I can't be bothered ;-) ) Well done to the other 2 selected, James a know personally as we play together at the KC Club in Swindon along with the_gibb (Who has also been shortlisted twice), 5toneface and STU71.
Looking forward to the next stage and I hope I can show everyone why Matt selected me over some other great players.

Several players - yippeeyappee, Jakally, FlashFlush, amongst others, mentioned possibly being at Luton for the next leg of TKO, in March.
You may not be aware, that the Luton SPT coincides with the night trhat the Total Player Winner will be announced. So you may be in the Studio that night!
For those at Luton SPT, we will arrange to briefly interrupt the Touirney so you can watch the announcement of the TP Winner live on telly. I'm pretty sure the atmo will be extraordinary, & the winner will be supported hugely by the Community. And as Luton is only 45 minutes from Feltham, I may even bring him or her up to Luton to get the party started. That'd be a bit special.

To them all, my congrats, it's really something special to put yourself up for public scrutiny.
And I'm stunned by just how many really good Players we have here - look at that list!
What an eclectic mix, too, & it's warming to see so many of the long-term Sky Poker regulars in the list.
Just trying to pick up on all the questions.
An interesting one.
