Hi, well done to Tikay and sky on the news of the SPT. Satellites, an old hobby horse of mine. Last year they were 6 handed and quite a fast structure, not exactly in keeping with the 10 seater 30 minute clock that you are qualifying for. Any chance that they will at least be 10 seater's this year? Posted by skicowboys
Thaht's one for Sky Bernie &/or Sky Adam, but both of them will be monitoring feedback.
In Response to Re: SPT 2009/10 - Post your Questions here, please. : No no, not at all. But some folks can't hold their ale, & become rude & obnoxious to others, & disrupt the enjoyment of others at the table. The idea is for everyone to enjoy themselves, so if anyone wants to spoil it by becoming drunk & abusive, steps will be taken to ensure the day is not spoilt for others. One player got badly out of line at The Broadwey leg last time, due toi alcohol issues, so he got himself banned from the Grand Final, even though he qualified. "Polite drunks" (& funny drunks) are fine & dandy! Abusive & obnoxious drunks are not. Posted by Tikay10
Hi Guys What normally happens is that someone outside the regulars, that normally only go to one of the events gets out of hand. This ranges from drunken abuse, obnoxious attitude, shouting at others downfall and over celebrations. Tony has NEVER failed to deal with this, and anyone who was in Edinburgh will testify, you WILL know by looking at his face, when it happens. I think that the introduction of Richard will only consolidate this and when Tony say it will not be tolerated, believe me IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Most of us regulars get there early, have a few beers, abuse each other, have a laugh, take money off each other, and have a great time, embrace and agree to do it again next time. THATS WHAT THESE ARE ABOUT. I normally stay to the end, or until i cant stand up, and then the presenters and crew start playing. Great fun
Morning Tk, Just saw the WSOP 2007 ME Final table. Jerry Yang hitting runner runner straight to win it... I am telling you TK poker is fixed add Mr Negreanu's bad beat in this year's WSOPE ME.... Do you know something I think all the people that complain over bad beats should watch they way these guys took their bad luck, for 6 and 7 figure losses. I predict a massive 'bad beat' at the SPT lol and the verbals that will follow - oh no they won't as we will be in person and the keyboard warriors can't hide behind their screens.... So my question is, as some people think Sky Poker is rigged (and all other sites) what are Sky going to do to make sure the live cards do not provide bad beats? I am thinking perhaps taking an extra card to suit the probability of the favourite actually winning the hand... Sorry in cheeky mood today. Probably only way I can handle the DYMS I am going to take on later Posted by Grimstar30
Hi Dave, To make sure the online conspiracy theorists are made to feel welcome, the Sky Poker Tour, can unleash the worst weapon at their disposal, DAISY THE DEALER OF DEATH. anyone who witnessed her performance, and was still playing were praying like mad they weren't put on her table. It was sad to hear grown men and women crying and wailing at dealer changes. Am I right Tony? col

In Response to Re: SPT 2009/10 - Post your Questions here, please. : We'll post up qualifier names, numbers of seats left at regular intervals on this board in the run up to Manchester Posted by SPT
I might have to ask if you have specific questions but as I can see (poker lobby, mtt/satellites)there is a 1 in 5 qualification for £24 with feeders into that at £2.60 and £5.20
Good luck to all in qualifying, see you in Manchester!
Hiya don't know if this has been covered or not but what time approx. do you think that the tournies will be concluded?
I only ask because at the G's on Saturdays they turn the bar area into some cra ppy nightclub, not really a problem when the only poker running is a £10 donkament or 1/1 cash game but for a tournie like this with a fairly big prize pool and status it will be annoying.....
so yeah have they been told to turn the music down!!!!
As you say G Casinos on a Saturday are lively. Indeed Manchester also has cabaret planned for that night.
A couple of things going on to alleviate the impact of this, but (short of getting tikay to lead a sing along club singer stylee to "I will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor to drown the act out ) we'll just have to work round the issue.
Finish some time after midnight, is the plan As you say G Casinos on a Saturday are lively. Indeed Manchester also has cabaret planned for that night.

Hi Rich, I don't think the G or the players would really appreciate Tony,s warbling. The idea is to have a good time not need a doctor hehehe.

Oi!
I was in a Gloria Gaynor Tribute Band I'll have you know. Sadly, it never survived.
This is probably a silly question but can I or anyone play and qualify to a SPT and choose the venue they want to use it for ... ie: Win A Sat to Manchester but use it for Swansea or Luton ?
Transferable is the word I'm looking for ...? ty benny
