Summer UKOPS Main Event - with Hartigan & Stapes (***OFFICIAL LIVE SHOW THREAD***)

J-Hartigan

I trust you're enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend. The weather may be a tad disappointing, but who cares when you've got...

And the highlight of the four-day festival is the £25,000 Guaranteed UKOPS Main Event. Register NOW.

Suffice to say, Sunday's live TV show will be dedicated to this tournament. If you're planning to enter, or attempting to satellite in, please let us know. During the programme, tweet your progress and e-mail your Hand IDs, so we can analyse your play.

After UKOPS wraps, the second season of the Sky Poker Premiership "kicks off." As you may know, I'm the General Manager & Chief Operating Officer of The Purples. In the last 24 hours, Mr Stapleton has accepted the post of Executive Vice President & Director of Player Personnel.

However, as we'll both be in Spain for the next two weeks, we urgently need to hire someone to oversee our all-important matches and motivate the team. On Sunday's show, I'll explain HOW we intend to recruit an Assistant General Manager.

By the way, The Purples already have an official mascot...

But we still need words of inspiration. So, please come up with a great motivational slogan for The Purples. (Feel free to borrow an existing catchphrase, or nick a line from a famous speech!)

See you on Sunday at 7pm on channel 861.

Not too keen on purple, reminds me too much of the Minnesota Vikings (and I'm a Packers fan), so, pinching from "Eleanor Rigby"

"Oh look at all the lonely Purple, where do they all belong?"


(Of course now I fully expect to be allocated to Team Purple!)

Hmmm. I like the concept (replacing the word "people" with "purple"), but feel there's probably a better catchphrase or song lyric we could apply it to.

Oh, and this is just for you, FCHD...

Mwahahahaha!!!

Here is my Campaign speech ahead of the Purple Team Assistant General Manager Election.

James I know, I know, I know times are changing.
It's time we all reach out for something new,
That means you too.
You say you want a leader,
But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better close it,
And let me guide you to the purple rain.

The purple team need to be alert. Apparently there's a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater after you!

cenachav

You're in the Purples now.  Could be worse I suppose, you could have Orford

Wow, my life has been transformed by the discovery of the 'Ignore Tikay10' button!

Tikay10

That Button was originally installed so we could all ignore Orford.

J-Hartigan

By the way, who's playing the Main Event tonight? Who's going to try to satellite in? Who's playing the side events?

Men and women of UKOPS, stand up and be counted!

Tikay10

Am playing the 7.30 & 8.15.

Will play a few Satellites for the Main, too, if time permits. Am busy preparing & researching my NFL portfolio for the upcoming Season. We ought to do an NFL Betting Preview Show, with some experts, eh?

I will be trying to satt in today hoping to play in the BIG ONE. Looking forward to finding out which team I will be on. Talking NFL I am sorry to say my beloved J E T S sadly missed the opportunity to win the superbowl 3 years ago great defence no offence and sadly the defence have got older and injured. the reason my brother and I became JETS fans was we were watching C4 coverage and a wr called Al Toon caught a magnificent one handed catch to win a game with the last play of the game. It was made all the more remarkable when they said he was blind in one eye!!!! we have followed them ever since and are planning to go out and see them one day. Have you checked out the cabin crew btw lovely !!!!
Hope to play well today

Why not take a walk to a team where the captain bothers to stay in the country when his teammates are on the frontline?

I can see it in your eyes

memfno

in your best Churchillian please Mr Hartigan

The battle of UKOPS is almost over, and the battle of the Premier League is about to begin. Let us then my Purple people, gird ourselves to the coming conflict. We shall raise them on the flops, we shall raise them on the turns, and on the streets.

We shall NEVER limp. Tikay knows he must crack us of our Aces to win this battle. If we can stand up to him, and his minions, then victory is ours, if not, then the whole of Sky Poker, including the visiting Joe Stapleton, falls into the abyss of an Orford Dark Age, twisted by perverted laws of four card straights and glowing white teeth. These are the stakes, let my purples not be found wanting. I salute you.
