THANK YOU jesus for giving me the biggest laugh of this summer
I'm a Recreational Player, i was invited to join TKP & i'm glad i did as it has helped improve my Poker, we get to socialise at SPT EVENTS i've been to 2 so far Newcastle & Leeds both weekends were Excellent as i had never played live before and was also good to meet the Forum Community always nice to put a Name to a Face.
Poker to me is to have Fun, make a bit of Cash, rail my Team Mates if they are running deep in a Tourney,have a bit of Banter Especially on a Monday Night as i run a Forum DTD which gives Teams & Individuals a chance to have a great night for £5-50 playing the game we love
At the end of the Day it's about choice & do what makes you happy

TROLL:
A troll is someone who posts inflammatory or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional responseor of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion
Fair Assessment I Believe....
Now while you bring up insults:
"are we all very sad and lonely individuals who need pretend online friends to fill a void???"
Although you phrase it in a veiled question, Is this not an insult to anyone who is in a team on this forum???
I can assure you that at no point since joining my team has ANY member filled my void. We have a strict NO VOID FILLING policy at TPT and should there be as much as a sniff at my void then appropriate action would be taken.

i did not post this with the intention of provoking anyone i was giving my opinion to something which i think has a negative effect on the overall site,as for the comment you mention from my post,it was a question and therefore not a direct insult.
I believe this site is much worse off for having all this team stuff, new players should be encouraged to join the forum and commuincate on it,but when you go to the front page of said forum,vurtually every single post is about team this,team that,some threads have about 450 posts,who is really going to read through that.
Should there not at least be a seprate section for these team results threads as they are suffocating everything else and perhaps putting off new players to contribute!!!

Sky Poker ran 2 team freeroll competitions last year, did you enter those? Were you in a team?
Sky Poker started the ball rolling with the creation of TEAM SKY POKER
Ask anybody at an SPT event if they think TKP (orange uniform) and TSP (blue hoodies) are bad for the event?
If you watch the top tips feature on channel 865, many top pros advocate the discussion of hands with others and the help of friends to establish your game.
As for having sad lives with "online" friends - lol TKP all know each other in person, many of whom were friends before Sky Poker!

TSP are a bit like a real team because they are picked on ability and achievements plus they get the sponsorship and free entries etc what do the others get,what makes you a team.
As for the tip about discussing poker and hands with others is that not what the forum is for,we dont have to be in a team to post on the forum do we??? have i reasd the t and cs wrong???
While i am sure the orange brigade are not bad for the event can you really say they are good for it...personally i would be woriied if i sat down at a tourney with 3 people on the same 'team' at my table....sure they would rather knock me out then their 'friends'. I think this conflict of interests is a bad thing for the integrity of the game
As for the orange shirts themselves they give me a slight headache but not too bad, i had a phase as a teenager of wearing orange shirts, but grew out of it quite quickly...
There's probably more Kudos with TKP for an "orange on orange" victory, that knocking out anyone else, and from what I see other teams are the same. If there was any hint of collusion, Sky would nip it in the bud, for sure! Their reputation counts for more than any team (perhaps).
For me, I was honoured to be asked to join TKP (before any other teams were around). It has given extra enjoyment (railing the final table isn't a million miles off playing it - the nerves and excitement etc).
Maybe I'm a sad individual who can't relate to people socially, so have to do it in an online team.
When you meet me at a live event, you can form a view. For myself, I'm off to facebook. . .
Jesus ur a troll, as long as teams dont collude what is the problem here? you feeling left out, just join a team if not just let us get on with it Posted by YOUNG_GUN
like i said before i am not a troll, it is a genuine concern that i have that all this team stuff is taking over the whole site,every single forum thread bar one is about this stuff, i just think it should at leasy have its own room within the forum and worse just cease to exist ..
What is it about this site that when u have a different opinion to others you get called names!!!!

As captain of TKP i've deliberately kept out of this discussion as I'm likely to be considered 'biased' and therefore my views will undoubtedly be discounted by your good self JD.
With regard to your comment (highlighted above) I can safely say quite the opposite is true! Unlike larger poker sites SPT's tend to be the biggest buy in event for lots of our qualifiers and in many cases they will be a Sky Poker players' first visit into a 'live' venue.
TKP excel in making first timers feel really welcome at SPT's...we go out of our way to introduce them to players they may recognise from the tables, organise redic £1.00 sng's for them and generally try to make them feel as welcome and included as possible..we also make sure they have cabs and can get to the hotels etc okay...we smoke, we buy drinks and generally have a laugh and no-one gets left out!!!
Often the Orange shirts are an ice-breaker and a reference point for newer players...we are visible, easy to find, helpful and courteous...surely that can't be a bad thing?
While TKP are in the ME we bring banter and fun to the tables..it's really quite funny watching an orange on orange battle as no-one wants to 'give' lol! We have NEVER been accused of colluding and anyone who has seen us playing on a table together will understand why the idea is just laughable!!! As TKP get knocked out of the main event, often the newer players feel comfortable approaching us to join/start a sng or whatever!!
If this offends you then that's really too bad...but you can't say we don't bring valuuuuuuuu to these events!!!
Hmmmm Orange shirts in your youth eh? Are you sure you're not a TKPer in disguise ;o)))
FWIW I'm sure none of the teams would object to a separate 'team' area to post in, though you may find GPC reverts to the veritable graveyard it has sadly become in recent times...
In Response to FAO TKP,THS AND TPT,AND ANY OTHER TEAMS I HAVE FORGOTTEN. : interesting take on it, and it's placed in The Sky Poker Community section,(community........... a group of people) all we are diong is trying to have a little bit of fun which extends to live SPT events, i'm sorry if you find it not to your taste but that's the beauty of the forums ...........we all have our opinions Posted by scouse_red
well this is why sky poker is miles above its competitors for a lot of players on here it is a comunal passtime/event if your looking for something a bit more striaght forward 9 out of 10 othersites will give you that
Manchester utd,liverpool,the all blacks and the springboks These are all great teams,working hard for each other all in it together all sharing in each others success and sharing the rewards of that success. poker however is not a team game so why do we have so many pretend teams on this site,what is the point of it all??? it is very nauseating and boring the **** out of me are we all very sad and lonely individuals who need pretend online friends to fill a void??? does it make us feel wanted and accepted ??? Please explain because i dont know. Poker is a greedy individual game where you try to beat the **** out of every other player at the table.your winnings are your winnings and your losses likewise, if one of you won the sunday roller do you share it with all the other members of the team,i think not your not the hendon mob so stop all this nonsense and get back to being greedy selfish poker players.the way nature intended!!!!!!
