Any news?

Been gone from the site for a little while but have a seat in the bank for one of next year's events and was just wondering if anyone (@tikay most likely) has some news about next year's potential schedule....

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone.

    Hi @JBieber

    @HANSON is correct.

    SPT Manchester has already been announced for 8th to 10th February, for which full details will be announced before the end of this month.

    It's not my place to give the game away, but it will be announced as "SPT Manchester". As "SPT" stands for Sky Poker Tour, I'm going to go out on a limb & suggest there may be other dates & venues to follow. Not much gets past me, eh?

    I'm looking forward to meeting you guys in person at some of the SPT's in 2019.

    Extremely nervous about playing live poker though which is the reason I didn't come to any SPT's in 2018, my live tournament experience to date is a total of just two games. I've also only recently "recovered" from some social anxiety issues, so attending would be a big step for me. :#

    SPTs are way friendlier than other tours-you'll enjoy it.

    Trust me, meeting @Essexphil might give you other issues!

    (joking of course, everyone is really friendly, great fun, easy to chat to and it makes for a fun weekend!)

    Hope you make one of them and we get the chance to meet you- Manchester is already booked, even though the sats haven't even been announced!..Its @Hanson and @MISTY4ME birthdays in Manchester so be prepared for things to get 'messy'....

    No, usually 9 handed.

    Oh, that's a shame - and a surprise really, given that they're organised by Sky (I'm pretty sure that's right?)

    @peter27

    Yes, it is a shame, but the truth is, our venues don't have enough space relative to the expected number of runners to be 6 Max.

    6 Max requires a lot more tables (& Dealers) than traditional 9 or 10 seaters.

    Ah. Yes, fair point.

    Are you looking for extra value or something?

    I'm certainly available that weekend, so could be there if I qualify.

    Hi @hinton,

    Well done, be great to see you there.

    You don't need to choose a day, or do anything else - just turn up on your preferred starting day & go to the Desk, they'll have your entry.

    That's it, job done.

    WELL DONE tonight hinton :)

    I was watching from the sidelines as I'm big mates with Danny (madprof).

    It will be worth getting to the venue a good hour or so at least before it starts, as you will need to become a member of the Casino (bring Photo ID) if you aren't already, and there is always a queue to register at start time..... so if you're there early it takes some of the stress away, and gives you chance to meet and chat to some of the people you play against on SKY Poker....... and even meet the Legend that is Mr TiKay

    Lovely Chap he is :)
