In Response to Re: Pin the tail on the donkey: predict my performance in tonight's TSP Classic to win free entry! : +1?????????? Posted by Glenelg
Hi guys, sorry didn't make this very clear.
It's our new series: "Sky Poker's UK Cash Game". It was recorded a couple of weeks ago and took part over two days with ten top cash players playing in the flesh round a real-life table (i.e. not online)- hence the 'live' bit.
It was then edited and had all the fancy graphics put on it showing us the players' hole cards and, when that was finished, Tikay and I stuck our voices on it.
There are SIX 2 hour shows and so I've just spent 21 hours over today and yesterday in a small booth with Tikay doing commentary.
Yes, 21 hours.
5 minutes is usually a long time sat next to him.
Having seen all six shows now- I can confidently say you're going to love them. They'll be airing every Friday night at 11pm from June.

lol, how mixed up did you get in the chat box Mark?
I think this is all to do with the new live poker table Sky Poker have purchased that automatically tracks hole cards etc.
The live cash game was played out a few weeks ago over 1 or 2 days and now it's been through editing is getting the expert analysis of Tikay and Rich is there to tell Tikay to shuffle his papers quieter.
I think getting Rich and Tikay to commentate on a live game non-stop for 20 hours would be a bit harsh, although I expect it would get interesting by the end of 20 hours.
As for excuses this week- I was seated at a lunatic table where 2 or 3 players kept going all-in on Level 1 with total air when the blinds were 10/20.
Eventually i picked up AQ and decided to use this opportunity to get an early tourney double-up.
Great plan. Apart from the bit where the opponent had AK.
Apologies then to all those who thought I might do well this week off the back of my SPT exploits- I let the side down badly but didn't really get a chance to play!
Well done then D Chivers- let me know when you want to play the TSP Classic and I'll get it arranged for you.
Can it be for tonight please rich? if not Friday will do fine thanks Posted by D_Chivers
Sorry mate- didn't get on to the forum till late tonight- so obviously no TSP entry tonight. But I'll fire off an email now to stick you in tomorrow's.
Any issues, post a message on the forum. (I'm rubbish at checking my inbox!)
