Thank you - I think! - but I'm not sure what your queston is?
Yes, a fine Post by lJAMESl. Good luck in it James.
I will answer Ski-Cowboys multi-part question later, bear with us please.
Please dont think i have any problem with the way this event is being run. I was just putting some of the comments i have heard, in other parts of the forum, on this thread. I, personally, have never had cause to question Skys honesty, i was just trying to provide a solution to silence any critics., in my own hamfisted way.

Every question has been answered transparently & fully, & the T & C's are clearly set out.
Every Sky Poker player will be entitled to a vote, & it won't be via a Forum poll, either.

There will be a minimum of 12 more Mentor Picks, probably slightly more, due to no-shows or those who don't make the grade.
I'm delighted for all 6 of them to date, but will root just as enthusiastically for the rest of them, too.
The Winner will deseve to win. & I hope everyone backs him or her all the way. And I'm pretty sure they will. Stand by for 6 or 7 month of huge fun!
The Viva Las Vegas thing & Total Player are entirely different things. The winner of Total Player will go to Vegas, & if past performance is anything to go by, will be properly looked after out there, as all the Viva Las Vegas winners were both years.
Will there be a Sky Poker Viva Las Vegas & Vegas Lite in 2010?
I've no idea, I'm not party to that decision, or planning. But I'd be quite surprised if there were not.
Only the Suits can answer that, but we won't have long to wait to know, as Qualification usually starts in February or March.

That's the question I was asking all-along, about a forum poll ..
big *sigh* of relief ......
That was magic! I was about to reply to Daz's Post & it plum disappeared.
Now I've forgotten the question......
2. The top 10 players in each section will be determined as those with the highest total profit in that week, within that level of play.
There is only 1 MTT section so a player playing 1 high stakes MTT with a buy-in of £33 and winning £3500, would score much, much higher in total profit than a player winning 3 low stakes MTTs with a buy-in of £2.20 each and winnings of £60 each. This does seem to be very biased towards high stakes MTT players or have I got this wrong and total profit is actually being calculated as a percentage of total stake? Surely, calculating total profitvs total stake as a perc4ntage would be a much fairer way of determining the top 10.
If the top 10 from each catagory are considered each week.....can someone help me define the catagories?
In cash.....
What is classed as low stakes cash? - Level wise.....
When do low stakes become mid stakes?
The mid stakes to high stakes isnt releveant to me I dnt think, but might be for some, so what level is the point that mid stakes become high?
Thanx for ya help!
DOHH
Player B plays 7 MTTs, each with £2.20 buyin, wins all 7 for £60 each. Total profit = £404.60
How is low stakes MTT player EVER going to get in top 10?
a. Top 10 Cash players at low blind level (2p/4p to 15p/30p);
b. Top 10 Cash players at medium blind level (20p/40p to 50p/£1);
c. Top 10 Cash players at high blind level (£1/£2 and above);
d. Top 10 Single Table Tournament players (Sit ‘n’ Go); and
e. Top 10 Multi Table Tournament players.
Ive no idea how I got thru the low stakes catagory then.
I rekon any mid stakes player 25/50, with ambitions of making it thru in the total player, shud move down to 15/30. - I must have played once maybe twice at this level and got thru.
The sharks are coming!!!! Mind just had an open ended straight flush draw on the turn on 10p/20p, moved all in against a fella with 8 quid left and got called by ace 2, no pair, no draw, and lost!!!
They can't half read a player down there!

i started playing on line poker 5 years ago,with $100 three years later $9,000 up.then gave sky a go when i put £50 in account so far £4,900 up.i do not play cash tables mostly mtt and omaha,bank roll should be the main aim of all poker players otherwise we will go the same way as the yanks and people will be losing there homes with gambling debts.we have to be careful not to tempt our players to play above there bank rolls to get noticed for thier play.players who play in there bank rolls year in year out and have fun,love the game and come out on top are all total players to me.i put my poker winnings to family holidays,so my love of poker stays the fun and banter it should be.with out the stress that hi rolling must bring to us and our nearest and dearest.so be careful in the race to get noticed my sky poker friends and please play WITHIN YOUR BANK ROLL happy new year to all even the orfords lol XXXXXXXXXXX
I'm a little pulled out today, trying to get caught up on scores of PM's & stuff, (answering my PM's is like painting the Forth Bridge, it's never-ending!), so I'll pick up the questions - if nobody else does - on Saturday, when I'm back in the Office, if you don't mind guys.
Meanwhile, from all the Total Player Team, a happy new year to you all. It's going to be a VERY happy year for our Total Player winner, that's for sure.
And whoever he or she is, I'm sure every one of you will Rail them every yard of what's going to be a very long & exciting journey.
happy new year guys

Did you play CNC back in the day?
I will pick up on the unanswered questions shortly, bear with me, I've been Offline since Thursday.
But for now, it's Saturday again, so tonight is Total Player night, & we will see the third batch of Mentor Picks this evening, this time it's David doing the selections.
Just a reminder, the 6 Mentor Picks to date are.....

They will be joined by three more tonight.
The Show will be Live, at 10pm, on Channel 865, straight after Master Cash.
None of us know who tonight's Picks are, or will be, only David knows that, & the first Rich & I will know of their identity is when David does his "reveal" in the last 15 minutes or so of tonight's Show.
But I do know that of the short-listed Ten......
TWO are Low Stakes Cash players.
THREE are Tournament players.
TWO are Mid-Stakes Cash players.
TWO are SNG players.
ONE is a High-Stakes Cash player.
Remember, in effect, qualification is weekly. Even if you don't get picked tonight, everyone starts with a clean slate each week, so it's not over until the overly plump lady gives forth.
