Hi, Tikay, could you let me/others know what the round robin involves, In a group of 3, does that mean we play each other 3 handed, i'm kind of lost. thanks Jac Posted by YIPEEYAPEE
On 1 day ur group of 3 plays my group of 3 (6 handed sng) whilst the other group dont play vs us, the next day ur group plays the other group (6 handed sng) while my group doesnt play u lot, the other day my 3 play the other 3 (6 handed sng) whilst ur group doesnt play
Here is a suggestion for all the nine Total Players - why not set up a ten seater SNG each night with the 10th seat being taken by one of the mentors each night? This could be done at whatever level, maybe a £2 or £5 NLH table. This would make great viewing to see all of them on the same table making their plays and moves and the chat box would no doubt be smoking with banter and railers alike. This is just a suggestion and I think it will be a nice distraction from the pressure of the next stage of the boot camp. What does everybody think of this?. If it is a non starter, fair enough but I thought I would put it forward anyway. Posted by MAXALLY
this sounds great mate, entertaining and for myself very educational.

this is a great idea ,
why dont you throw a thread up in forum ,
and we will have a vote to see if the punters are interested ,
Thanks Phil, Does that mean we should soft play each other in our group, is it a double or nothing where we want the 3 on our team to cash?? Posted by YIPEEYAPEE
In 2 Saturday's time, ur mentor will cut ur team of 3 to 2 players. With the aim to win this competition, u don't want to be slow playing anyone..........especially ur own team competition. Every player for themselves and may the best man (or Naomi) win
Total Player takes a one week break now, although there will be a TP Show this Saturday. When they return, on Monday 22nd February, they begin Boot-Camp Stage 2. The criteria is below - all TP-ers should read this carefully, & if in doubt, speak to your Mentors, or shoot a question on this Thread. The nights & times are as before - Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 22nd, 23rd & 24th, between the hours of 7pm & 11pm. The mandatory criteria is..... 1) The Main Event at 8pm each of the three evenings. Cost will be met by Sky Poker, & NOT from your Bankroll. 2) A minimum of 6 (SIX) hours Cash Games in total over the three nights, at ANY level you wish. 3) A Round-Robin format SNG played one leg per night. (The Rail for these will be MASSIVE!. Hopefully, these may get shown on the Channel at some stage). The cost of these SNG's will be met by Sky Poker, & will NOT come from your Bankroll. The Draw for these SNG's was done Live on last night's Show, but I don't have it to hand right now. 4) Over & above those three mandatory criteria, TP-ers can, if they so wish, play anything they so desire in the designated time-window over the three evenings. This option is not mandatory, but if the TP-ers think it may enhance their TP chances, they are free so to do. Posted by Tikay10
TK, Can you please get someone to confirm dates. My email states that we start on Sunday the 21st but your post above states Monday 22nd. I'm confused!!!!!
I just want to issue a challenge to all fellow Total Players. I WANT TO PLAY YOU HU. I'll be sitting and i'll be waiting on the nights Phase 2 begins. Posted by YIPEEYAPEE
I am happy to take up the challenge if we play at least 3 tables for min 2hrs.
Been away for the weekend and condolences for those who did not make it- i know what great playerss jakally and keysa are from playing them loads and sure they will carry on playing good poker. And a big well done to those who did make it; I look forward to the next round and being up against u all. Its going to get even more exciting for u viewers. Personally i am shaking in anticipation
Wp and congratz to all 3 who went through this week! Commiserations to Jakally, Keyza, Dylan. Have had the pleasure of playing both Keyza and Jakally on many occasions and I can tell you now, they are more than good enough to of made it through to the next stage unlucky both!

You may well be correct there Wayne, I may have got those dates wrong.
I'll confirm them one way or another tomorrow (Tuesday), but I have a hunch you are correct, & I boo-boo'd.
For sure, if your e-Mail says Sunday 21st, then that would be correct, but as I've put dates - possibly incorrect - on the Thread, I'll correct/clarify them tomorrow.

Err - NO!
You will damage your TP chances greatly if you do.
It's not a Team Game, you should go all out for the personal win.

Hi Wayne,
It was me that was confused, not you - I simply typed in the incorrect dates, my sincere apologies.
The correct dates should have been Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday, 21st, 22nd, & 23rd, that's THIS COMING Sunday as the first of the three days.
I have now Edited my original Post, & I hope all the TP-ers have noted the correct date. As I understand it, they all received an e-Mail from 'Ling with the CORRECT date on.
Once again, my bad, & I'm sorry for the confusion I may have caused.
Gd luck to the three that got through. On reflection Jackally and i are in a good position poker wise outsite TP, so i think its a good thing that the smaller players have a chance to climb the stakes and make it in the game they love, and with a mentor like tuckman they have a great opportunity to improve their games. oh and unlucky dilan, also would have been great for you, but only three can go through ;-( I would also like to say i am setting myself a little challenge on sky poker. rather than redepositing, i have around £280 in my account and i am going to try to build that to 10k in 3 months. i am going to be building quite aggressively so it will be a sharp boom or bust. see you at the tables. Posted by Keysasoze6
I love it Keyser....fantastic idea!!!! Thanks for the kind words - The adulation goes both ways. You're a very good player and you made the decision extremely difficult. I'm glad we've met and hopefully, we can talk poker sometime soon...
I guess so JJ, yes, but you will have had an e-Mail or 'phone call from 'Ling, & whatever that says is what it is. I don't make or apply the Rules, I just try to explain them for the benefit of all - more for the non-TPers than anything, as of course they don't get the e-Mails.
