Hi Kunal,

You have to credit us with a bit of nous!

We deliberately mis-pronounced it, in agreement with the Producer of the Show, for obvious reasons. It was that, or not feature you at all.

Repeatedly saying a name like that would eventually cause a very dangerous slip of the tongue we could ill afford.

One suggestion we discussed was to pronounce the "u" as an "oo", but that was even more inappropriate, & liable to get us in trouble from the usual suspects.

Sorry but gotta laugh, images of high powered meetings behind locked doors at Sky HQ, "Right gentlemen whos for u and whos for oo?"

Lol, & yes, it is rather odd.

But it is a fact that when kunster first joined the Forum, there was much giggling at the back of the classroom as to the phonetics, & it was even suggested "how long before he's forced to change that alias?", & "what chance has HE of being shown on the channel?".

The alias is perfectly fine, & wholly genuine - he's now explained that - but we have to be SO careful, as you saw from the some of the ridiculously extreme & myopic Posts on the Multi-Accounting thread yesterday.

As far as I'm concerned, peeps can mock all they like, but I believe we handled the whole matter in the correct manner.

Everyone tells Sky Poker how to run their business - all experts at it, seemingly - but there is a bit more to it than meets the eye at times.

Interesting thread, it's good to debate these things civilly, & see both sides of the coin.

Phonetically, it IS, irrespective of it's innocence.

Never underestimate the power of poker players to over-react to anything, seek an argument for arguments sake, & then & be led as sheep are by a shepherd.

As a result, the Channel are never going to be able to use that name phonetically, sadly.

It is a valid comment.....I was getting my youngest daughter to practice saying kun-ster over and over again this morning before I took her to nursery, and to be fair it was not sounding too clever. Bit worried I might get a phone call from the school now as well :0(

hi kunster, can't you just change your name to Colin like most of the other players lol

Lol, sorry TK my intention certainly wasn't to mock, totally understand responsibilities of Sky, my sense of humour obviously isn't to everyone's taste but can't help myself from looking for the humorous side of situations. With regard to multi accounting thread, one of the pitfalls of encouraging members to use the forum, one will undoubtedly encounter as you say extreme and myopic views which to many of us make no sense whatsoever. However, it is only by having an open debate, misguided posts or not that we can move forward as a community under Skys banner.
I'm sure at the heart of this community there is a trust that Sky will always act responsibly and put its patrons interest at the top of any agenda.Can't agree with your comment"Everyone tells SkyPoker.......seemingly", i feel there are many well intentioned people who thoroughly support this site through words and time spent using it as i'm sure you are far more well aware of then me and perhaps on occasion, passion overrides common sense.
On a personal note, you and your fellow presenters do a fantastic job( yes even the bald one)and i have gained a thoroughly enjoyable education from the Sky community.
All the best for Skys continued success.
Yours affectionally   :~)

Tara5, I was certainly not suggesting you were mocking, just that it's the way of Online Poker Forums.

They are terrific feedback-generators, they really are, but as we saw yesterday, the wheat needs a good deal of sorting from the chaff, & nobody ventures an opinion - they all know the facts. ("Ban him", "name him", "hang him"). Not much room for debate when that happens!

Now, back to Ku...koo...or the name we came up with on one Show for him - "The Club" I think it was - "Claire".  

Tikay10

Just re-reading my Post Tara5 - I'm a little alarmed that it does not in fact read as I intended, coming across as rather rude.

That was certainly not my intention, my sincere apologies. I abhor rudeness.

Gotta say, I thought yesterday was a sad day for our Community, to see so many people eagerly rushing to judgement, & it's rather clouded my thinking.

acebarry10

words jump out of my mouth without me even thinking about it , LM, you would never do anything like that

-TARAS-

Lol, sorry mate misunderstood, i hope "you know who" is more understanding when he hears that he is now "claire" 

ACESOVER8s

Just go for a bit of harry potter inspiration, you could call him "He who must not be named"

-TARAS-

You're never rude TK, just assertive. Btw have you renamed me from TARAS to Tara5, best get this sorted quickly i don't wanna be accused of multi accounting as i posted on other thread can only afford one of me to play defo not two.
