Tonight's Live Show on Channel 865 will start at EIGHT PM, & not Nine pm as previously. All Live Shows will henceforth begin at 8pm. So, more Show, more time, & more money tonight. Posted by Tikay10
and more you!!! what lucky people we all are feels like we have won the lottery just kidding boss!!
"but TV Content is horrendously expensive to Produce, so it's a case of balancing cost-effectiveness, value, & demand" the constant repeats are coma-inducing and a mare,why not at least start showing repeats from the opening days of sky poker(i assume they keep the tapes), at least they would feel fresh and would also highlight the advancement in play since then,and kara would be back on the screen too Posted by LONGPLAY
+1 (a very big one)
I reckon all the old shows should be available in downloadable format on the website. I would definitely pay for a service like this that had all the old shows on.

I will send your Post Upstairs to Suit-Ville, FTAO His Excellency Des Duff-Ness, & see what he says.
So the first time the show goes to 4 hours its when Rich and Tikay are on - jeez!!!!!!!! I personally hope the cameraman and Producer are in front of the camera and Rich and Tikay are 'away somewhere else'. Would definitely be more pleasing on the eye and more sense would be spoken!

100% agree m8. Can we start with the hour long epidsode of my League victory please?
Great number of runners for tonight's Bounty Hunter and an interesting idea with regards to running some of the earlier shows. I'll look into this although I suspect I'd get hit with a metal ruler if any changes to this month's schedule was proposed. Might be a nice twist over Christmas though.
I have recurring nightmares about the Burgundy jacket, it's not making a comeback is it? Personally I'd prefer to see tikay in the illustrated waistcoat...oops, probably shouldn't have mentioned that
The Average Stack in the Final was appprox 33 x Big Blinds! Unbelievable, & I know we are all different, but with structures lke that, I will now make such Events my first choice to play each night. Awesome.
Sadly for the TV Viewers, it over-ran the 4 hours, & as we were on the Sky Sports simulcast, we were obliged to come off air at Midnight, with three Players still remaining. Technically, there was no choice, much as we'd all loved to see the end.
So I imagine next Thursday's equivelant will have to be slightly faster, or less Chips, to ensure it completes in the 4 hour slot.
But for the rest of the week - & I'd be interested in your views - I'd rather we, the Players, had more playable Structures, such as last night.
Ultimately, it's about the Cardroom, & the Players.
An Average Stack of over 30 x Big Blinds in a Final - for me, that's Poker Perfection.
Until now, I preferred the Deepies, but with structures like last night, the Main Event, if structured similar to last night, will be my first priority, especially as it has such serious money on offer - over £13,000 last night!
Thoughts anyone?
Oh, & I planned to play Live, at Luton tonight, but Sky Poker's 8pm Biggie is a Double Stack (4,000 chips), with 10 minute blind increments. Count me in!
For Thursdays, being on the Sky Sports simulcast, would it be worth trying 2500 chips with 10 min blinds? Personally, I think that reduced chips would be better than reduced blinds.
As for the rest of the week, any tourneys that have 33 bigs average at the FT are good in my eyes!

I agree I'd much rather have fewer chips than a faster blind structure. Of course Sky could always make it a FIVE hour show lol

I thought that last night's tournament structure was terrific. I will definitely be playing the 8pm games regularly. (That's added value for the rest of you).

Agreed, 100%.
But really, structures like that will transform Sky Poker - it was awesome. More of the same please.
