Congratulations Duesenberg and Supernova, couldn't be happier for both of you. I've also had a little touch from the weekly giveaways, £5, £5 and £25 each draw so far which isn't bad for nothing. Hope you both have the time of your lives. I've also managed to luckbox my way to the Vegas final on Sunday so I'm gonna get Tikay to turn on the boom switch and make sure I get a package (that should start off the "poker is rigged gang" nicely) Anyway another reason for my post is to let the guys and girls upstairs know that they do get some things right, yet again this year the Vegas promotion has been fantastic, maybe a few bumps along the way and a few things we could get better for next year, however in general there has been abit of everything for everyone, from what I can see no part of the Sky community has not had a chance to qualify. That to me is fantastic and is the way it should be. Well done all and hopefully we will see similar next year. I'll start a new thankyou thread on Snday night when Tikay has sorted that package for me ;-) . Posted by omm

Dont think I tell you guys enough what a great job you do
In Response to Vegas Giveaway - Thank you Sky and where to find more info? : Congratulations! I have won a package also. I have been sitting on the email for day or two thinking it was a scam, and tonight I contacted support via chat who said it wasn't a scam... well I'm gobsmacked. It's apt that you are a new Sky player and I am an old one. I used to play here night and day and well then my life changed through a few things and it's fair to say that it's only settled down in the last couple of years after a long term illness, three house moves and a lovely partner that I've been able to play poker again at the lower stakes. I did say to Tikay many moons ago I was determined to win a Sky package because they really are the best, but I always thought it would be because I beat 500+ Sky regs to do it! So I'm chuffed. Right now I'm fist pumping and the happiest woman in the world. See you soon! Shaz xXx Posted by SUPERNOVA
Many congratulations to you too Shaz. It sounds like karma seriously owed you one after some real life run bad.
Congratulations! I was lucky enough to win the first week, so will see you out there. Thought your alias sounded pretty cool, so just put it in google and it comes up with some guitars and cars, is it reference to either of those? I thought it was a bit like Heisenberg (from Breaking Bad).
Just read those 5 articles of Tikay's, really good read. Not sure I can get my head around the scale of Vegas until I get there.

Trust me, you can't
It can take 3 minutes to cross the Strip, and what looks close by on a map could be a very long walk away! And the heat just makes things 10 times worse haha
You're spot on with my alias - I own a Duesenberg guitar and it was the first thing that sprang to mind when signing up.
Vegas does have to be seen to be believed. The scale of everything is truly mind boggling from the size of the hotels right down to the food - I remember ordering a shrimp salad in New York New York which made some of the lobsters I've eaten in Europe look puny! The Palazzo is in a really good central spot on the strip though so many of the other big name hotels/casinos are a doddle to get to.
Big congrats! Vegas is great and the sky experience makes it even better. See you in Vegas and I will get you all a drink at the sky welcome party! Posted by MattBates

For those unaware, the drinks at the Sky Poker Welcome Party in Vegas are all on Sky Poker.
Congrats to Greg, Matt and all those already on the list going and good luck to all those now playing sats for the main event. I meant to post this a couple of days ago so may the force be with you....I can hear groans, tbh I have terrible sense of humour. I think it's a northern thing.
Anyway I'm looking forward to meeting you all, and my other half is really exicted at meeting Tikay again and sharing old times and erm concrete. Please don't mention tarmac :-)
