I think the balance should be that x% of pro's are allowed in to the final/legs. I for one would love the experience of playing with them. If that improves my game then that is a plus.
In Response to Re: SPT 2009/10 - Post your Questions here, please. : Thats very fair comment Col. But let's look at that a little wider. Yeah, we all want it to be just "us", of course we do. But - and I'm being being purely hypothetical here - what if by "opening it up" to a degree, the Prize Pool was, say, doubled, & we got the chance to play with a few Pros, such as Julian Thew? Julian - he only lives round the corner from DTD - would have played the DTD Grand Final this year had it not clashed with Vegas. As an aside, we are also hoping - not wholly set up yet, but it's in the plan - to have a few Pros at each Leg. Sky Poker take the view, & so do I, that it's kinda neat for our players to get the chance to play with a few of the big boys now & then. These issues are rarely 100% clear-cut. But Sky Poker will try to do what they think is right by their Players - it would not make commercial sense to do anyrthing else. But agreeing what the players want is an altogether different kettle of fish! Posted by Tikay10
Hi Tony, I agree with you 100%, as your good mates with Mr Thew, get him to open an account and pit his skills in the Bounty Hunters lololol. I was making a point, that was made, at the final by a lot of the sites regulars. I was one of them but i would gladly take on some of the pros to see how good i actually am. For me, i revelled in the fact that the standard at the final was a fair bit higher than any tourney i have played before and did myself and Sky(imo) proud, and was very happy when Simon Trumper announced that i was chip leader. Just a thought, any chance of getting some"stars" to play the open again, in the new schedule? col
I agree entirely Col, I was just showing the other side of the coin, being Devils Advocate if you like.
As to "stars" playing in our (Online) Open, etc, that again is not as clear cut as it may seem.
Thewy, for example, would do it for me if he could, guaranteed, as would scores of other Pros. But like most of the Big Boys, he's Contracted to another Site, & so it would not really be do-able without offending his existing sponsor.

Hi Rich, A very warm welcome to the family, and i do hope you've got broad shoulders m8 Without doubt everything WILL be your fault and i think having a pair of stock ready for you isn't out of the question. In fact i think that could bring in value to the days. Soak the presenters, £5 a sponge, proceeds to charity, it'll make millions hehehe. col

Back in the day, 1st August 2006 to be precise, I put a press release up on various fora announcing the launch of a Poker Tour I helped set up, with tikay as it happens.
Several weeks, and several thousand posts later on one thread, they were still going at it!
Famous last words, but the SPT/associated threads are going to be fun!

Hi Dave. Nothing personal but I would imagine I would prefer your fiancee too
Dean Court
Currently three sided, the ground has been rotated ninety degrees from its original position with redevelopment.
White Hart Lane.
Ah!!!!!!!! Archibald Leitch designed old stands, now redeveloped. Actually, IMO this is one of the best of the redeveloped original grounds. Done very sensitively to the old character of the place.
San Siro
Is actually the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, named after a footballer who played in the 34 and 38 World Cups. No one knows that though, as everyone calls it after the area the stadium is in
In Response to Re: SPT 2009/10 - Post your Questions here, please. : Yes. Before the first event we'll pop out a briefing for all players detailing how to become a member, if you aren't already. Posted by SPT

Lol, I warned you boys. And he got that out of his head, not google. He'll have photos, which he took himself, of all the grounds, too.
Bet he does not know how much a pound of eggs costs though.
TK thanks for all your work and explanations ..sounds brilliant to me !!
