i think this is very poor of sky poker no promotion at all just wait to the 8th oct and you dont see any person from sky on here saying anything its like they have just plucked this from thin air and need to wait till 8th of oct to decide what to do very poor information come on sky get on here and give us some answears Posted by CHILLIE
you should know this is pretty standard by now, when the league freeroll was changed from cash to seats, it took days and days for someone to even bother to comment, eventually Tikay came on to answer as much as he could, but even after that it took ages. when they changed the cash for points payment timescale from 2 days to 5 days there was no warning whatsoever, why change things now....
In Response to Re: THE NEW POKER LEAGUE...... : you don't need to opt in there have been 3 seperate leagues for a while now, cash, stt & mtt, haven't you ever checked to see if you finished in the top 150? and yes, dyms count towards stt points, im not gonna argue your point, but just merely point out that russian roulettes count 2 Posted by SHANXTA

This reply to "CHILLIE" also.
I think - in fact, I'd go so far as to say I KNOW - that "can't be bothered to comment" is more than a little unfair, though not as wrong as Mr CHILLIE's "plucked out of thin air".
You will have to wait until October 8th to hear the full SP.
However, the concept has been 9 months in planning, & involved complex negotiations, planning, & weekly telecons since around February of this year. Some dates moved very late - completely outwith Sky-Poker's control, meaning the announcement has been delayed by a week or so. Because of the way the Calendar works, it HAD to start on October 1st, or be delayed a further 3 months. Parallel to that, a situation arose over which Sky Poker had no control, which meant that the planned announcement (it is NOT a single announcement, it contains a bunch of stuff) could not be made. All will become clear enough, soon enough.
Many of us will be involved in concluding everything tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday, of this coming week, & it's going to be hard work, & hectic, but fun.
It's really quite extraordinary how genuinely well-intended & extremely complex situations can be twisted into "can't be bothered" & "plucked out of thin air". Both are 100% incorrect.
tikay thank you for your post i dont think meny agree that it was badley planned our anything like that i like meny others are very excited about the whole concept that sky has come up with i wait with baited breath till the 8th trying to make the top mtt players by december thank you sky poker Posted by sara36dd08
That's good to hear, Mr Sara. It is, indeed, one of THE most exciting things that has so far happened at Sky Poker, & it has been a long time in gestation.
I'm sure most will agree that it was well worth waiting for.
We were all a bit crushed that we could not announce on Oct 1st, or even before, but that's just how it panned out, & was completely outwith our control.
It won't, of course, meet with universal approval, nothing ever would, but it's yet another step forward in Sky Poker's evolution, & for a Room less than 4 years old, it's doing staggeringly well, particularly compared at present to other Online Rooms, most of whom are now seeing traffic declines, whilst the traffic at Sky Poker continues to head north at a hearty rate.
You may of noticed that I may of started the thread but resisted in commenting until the full news was revealed. I thought someone in the know might just sweeten us with a few niblets of information, and you obliged.
Now, if only say tonight's Primo Presenter and or analyst could 'unintentionally' release some more information on the show later......:)
By the by, hope you and everyone who played at that charity poker event yesterday (including TRIP5) had a good day.
I have just sat into the Primo at my 1st attempt.....

Hi Alan,
No, it had not escaped my notice that you had started the thread. I'd have been surprised if it had been anyone else, tbh.
Good Luck in Primo tonight, I'd love to commentate on a good run by you.
Yes, yesterday went well. Low in numbers, high in quality, & a few bob was raised.
PS - Have you ever seen a Learner-Driver who you just KNOW, no matter how many lessons they have, will NEVER be able to drive even semi-competently? I was struck by the notion yesterday, when watching the delightful Irene trying to get to grips with Hi-Lo Omaha. She is to Hi-LO Omaha, what Orford is to Poker. If in doubt, re-arrange these words into a well-known phrase or saying.

Is there gonna be a league freeroll thing on the 2nd sunday of this month with the top 10 making the £220 at the end of the month? Thanx Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Hi DOHHHHHHH
The league stars freeroll will take place as normal.
would it be accurate to think that those who complain that full info has not been published are probably the very ones who complain when all is published with no forewarning?
