So after Vicky Coren's departure from Pokerstars Team Pro, which i have to say I admire alot & totally understand why, do you think we could see Vicky follow in the footsteps of Neil Channing & join Team Sky & if she did what would she bring to the team?

    Wouldn't Sky's online casino gaming put her off joining?

    If you admire her postion and know the reasons she left ,you know this won't happen !(which is a shame )

    I`d be amazed if she would take the Sky shilling, given the reasons for quitting pokerstars.It would be a classic case of out of the frying pan and into the fire.

    As she is also a journalist, who has shown herself to be highly principled, it would also surprise me that being part of the Murdoch empire would appeal given its dodgy recent past.

    I agree i would be amazed if she was to join but would love it if she did, cant see her joining because of the reasons she left pokerstars but was just interested to others thought on the possibility.

    Amazed people suggest her joining sky after why she left stars, cant work out if suggestions are serious.

      There's not a cat in hells chance she'd join Sky Poker, besides the Casino stance she took (well done Vicki), she has a clash of interests as a journalist with her Guardian column. That may even stop her appearing as a guest on 861 but I'd love to see it happen.

    If any of you are fans of hers you should try finding the episode of Celebrity Poker Club that she won years ago it's a really enjoyable watch. This was back before she was a serous player and it's great to see how completely made up she is when she wins it by taking down Willie Thorn heads up! She actually looks genuinely more happy and surprised here than when she won that 2nd EPT and it gives a lot of encouragement to any aspiring players to see someone who went to do great things in the game back when they didn't yet really have the belief that they could be any good at the game.
