Total Player Addicts......

edited February 2010 in Poker Chat

In case you missed it elsewhere, tonight's Total Player Live Show will be TWO hours, instead of the usual one hour, & will start at NINE PM (9pm, 2100) NOT 10pm.

Of course, the dramatic bit will be towards the end......

Not sure if I'm looking forward to that or not!

    Personnaly i think 2 hours is too long, but i will wait and give the benefit of the doubt, i prefer to see loadsa hands like in the mastercash, so i hope it aint gonna be 2 hours of waffling from the mentors. If after 15 mins i find there too much inane chat, i will leave and come back at 10:45 for the result, hope im wrong. (this aint a moan lol)

    Good point, & one I should have addressed, but I forgot to, sorry.

    It's not possible to have a Show fronted by Rich Orford & not have "waffle", but fear not, here's the ROUGH breakdown of tonight's Show content.

    Intro & "where we are" - say 5 minutes.

    Then extensive coverage of ALL THREE of the TP "Round-Robin" SNG's, for which, roughly, 30 minutes has been allocated to each one, interspersed with a few phone-calls to various TP-ers I think.

    Then the last 20 minutes or so will be phone-calls from the three Mentors - say 3 or 4 minutes each - in which they deliver their TP verdicts, followed by some summing up after each Mentor has spoken.

    Finally, a round-up of what's what as we move onto the next Phase.

    I really do think it will be a good Show. I'd rather watch it, or be on it, then be a TP-er tonight though!

    Ugh Im disappointed too about mastercash, I love that show.

    But I realise TP Is huge for sky, and it deserves alot of coverage...

    Just a note about the MC table tonight, Im gonna avoid it, and I hope personally that the usual names dont pop up again....

    Its low stakes, so I think the low stakes regs should get a seat if they want one....I know this is hypocritical maybe coz I play the NL20/30 Mcash shows in the past....but watching big hitters throwing buy ins around for fun aint gonna help the lower guys.

    Lookig forward to the night, as always! DOHH

    Agreed & noted - MasterCash will soon return to being 2 hours - in a few weeks in fact, when TP finishes. I fact, it might eventually return to it's original Format, which was THREE hours, once TP has finished. I don't know that, just guessing, but it would seem to be logical.

    As to who plays on the Televised MasterCash Tables - good point. Anyone can play on ANY Table, but it'd be kinda nice if the "regular" guys at that Level got some exposure.

    It's similar to a "problem" we have on PTP nights. We (the PTP "Hosts") try & cover EVERY Level of Table, so that all players, at whatever level, & especially including the micro-limit Tables, get their chance. But it tends to be the PTP-wise players who are on every Table. Don't get us wrong, that's lovely, & we are most grateful, but we are also mindful that every player at every Level should get their chance.

    It's a "balance" thing really. Something for everyone & Sky Poker try extremely hard to try & ensure that.

    Anyways, good luck tonight JJ.

    surely the best solution would be to have 5/6 'Master Cash' tables available at each level, and not let on which ones will be selected for airing until the show starts?

    oh and yay that 3 hours mastercash will be back.

    edit:  any news of how sky are gonna promote Omaha...we need more traffic on there!

    It's a shame you can't technically limit mastercash table players to a single table.

    I also sometimes think about PTP nights and how a bunch of regulars, ahem, are normally sat at the PTP tables.  On the other hand I've also railed a PTP and it appears that a lot of the other players are pretty oblivious to the fact they are sat with a PTP.  How many times have you seen in the chat box "What's the star for?", "Why do you have a special avatar?".

    I think the obvious solution to this is that all PTP presenters should once every 5 minutes put in the chat box:

    "Do You Know Who I Am?"

    Obviously for some PTP players, i.e. Orford, that is a genuine plea for information.
