    TK  instead of pampering to  this thread,  why don't you ask Management  or  Skyrich what Skypoker are going to do about the back-log of Player Points  in  so many accounts.. 

    Skypoker could at least  have the decency to answer  and  say,
    "There doing  Nothing,"   if thats what they   intend to do !!

    Couple of weeks ago I tried firefox, someone reccomended it to me, n it was alot sharper, but it crashed a couple of times completely mid hand...which I cudnt handle, IE was slow, but at least it got there in the end.

    I will try it again...

    Mr Orford suggested google chrome, thats on my desktop atm, didnt really try that properly, Ill give it a go this week.

    Scotty also suggested one, that I havent tried yet, I forgot what he said, safari something I think? Plenty of time to try that though.

    Im constantly clearing temp internet files and cookies .....

    The lappy isnt too old, maybe a couple of years, is that old? - Maybe its just time to buy a new en.

    Thanx for ya help, i'll figure something out.

    "Pampering to this Thread?".

    I promised to answer the Players Questions, & that's what I'm doing. And it is the Total Player Thread, so I'm trying to keep it on topic.

    Well done to the selections last night, another 3 strong players in the mix good luck all! I have a few questions regarding bootcamp. The Bankroll challenge sounds very exciting....so does this mean during these 3 evenings our mentors will be watching and discussing strategy with all 6 of his picks, and then have to make a judgement based on our play in that time alone? and does total profit in this time count as a factor to whether he drops a player? Also there was talk that in one of the shows, (I think it was Matts last show) that if another player "crushes" one of the TP picks during the bankroll challenge, or if any of the picks are dropped, others will have a chance to take their place. Is this correct or do I have that wrong:) and if this is the case would this BR challenge stage then continue for another week with new TP picks from that team. Am I making any sense here lol, I dont think even I know! Anyway I for one cant wait for Team Matts challenge to begin next week, and good luck to Team Ed this week.

    Hi Naomi.

    Yes, it all makes sense. Well when I say "all", I mean the bits that I understood......

    Most of what you asked has now been answered. For the rest, may I suggest you speak with your Mentor, Matt Broughton?

    Any more questions, feel free to ask.

    Hope you & RonMcDon are both well, & in good heart.

    Tikay can you elaborate on the "wild card feature" of phase 1. And if a mentor drops a player, is that person then replaced by somebody else? Browndog

    I don't know the exact answer to that Brown, sorry, but I'll find out, & get back to you.

    I use Firefox and I've never had a problem.There's a new upgrade just a couple of days ago. Safari is the one that Scotty mentioned. I never cleartemp files or cookies and my laptop is 3 years old. I have 2 tabled but never more. I still reckon that slow response, disconnecctions etc. is probably down to the ISP and the LAN or router rather than the laptop but I stand to be corrected.

    Lol! Sorry Anj, didn't mean to make out you had no life! I was just making the point that you are a very well-known player who's had lots of results and plays loads of games on Sky Poker.

    Shame you didn't make the final 18 though- but then you can never rule out a last minute call-up!

    :)

    Good luck to the players tonight.  Cheers for the replies Tikay, it’s been too long…how are you getting on these days? As Naomi pointed out it’s amazing how much work you put in here, much appreciated :)

    After a fair bit of thought I have decided to drop out.  It is just not for me.  In my opinion poker is about action with real risk.  Once poker is conceptualised and the focus is put on impressing others rather than directly competing it’s just not the same game.  But that’s just my opinion, everyone has their own reasons for playing.

    I don’t want to waste a space in the 18 so hopefully whoever comes in will appreciate the opportunity more than me.  Despite my rant I still think a worthy winner will be found and I will be getting behind them with everyone else :)

    Apologies to anybody who’s time I have wasted.

    Will

    Team Matt and Team David,

    You are my first priority tomorrow.

    I will be contacting you by phone and email - I will also provide direct numbers so that you can contact me should you have any queries at any time.

    I should also point out that the bankroll figure was reached after considerable discussion between the Total Player Team. 
    Of course liability was a factor, however the way players utilise the roll and the strategies they employ to protect a "pressurised" roll can tell you a great deal about a player.


    EDIT: Thanks for letting us know Will, I'll be contacting your mentor for his decision on your replacement.

    Kind regards

    Aisling
