    Its called super life tilt.


    I don't think the serious people at Sky believe that 1 hand is an effective sample of a players ability; especially when I am so clearly no on tilt and not playing my true game. I, however, believe results over a consistent period of time or #hands to be a more reliable measure of skill. So if at any time you want to compare results over the last year, I'll be more than willing to compare graphs/poker tracker stats with you.


    If you want to talk poker theory and strategy with me you're more than welcome... or if on the other hand you believe you have an edge on me...


    I'll play you anywhere, any stakes, any time. You name the time and place and I'll be there. :)


    If,however, and quite likely, you don't take me up on either of those offers, I look forward to seeing you nit it out on the tables in the near future. :)



    All the best



    Lewis




    P.S I missed you tonight, I didn't catch you up for selection. oops.

    Congratulations to Matt's 3 picks on tonights show. A bit gutted not to be chosen after his analysis of my hands but obviously the other 3 players were better prospects than me. Still i've had my 5 mins of fame and I fully understand why he chose the players he did. Good Luck to all who have made the grade. I have 1 more chance so its back to the low limit grind for me. Its all I can afford. Hope to see you all at the tables.

    UL tonight fella.

    With regards the Stien post - very classy obv.
    I would like to shake hands with the player who hasn't played tons of hands badly - I don't think they exist in reality.
    If people want to come on here and try and embarrass players then go ahead - just consider that it probably shows you in a poorer light, than the person you are trying to embarrass.

    BrownDog,

    I thought I'd get your attention, just winding you up, but seriously what were you thinking on the turn, I hate him, i'll hit on the river and stack him, on the river?????????????????? A bit harsh calling me a nit when you play G all the time, BTW I still think your shove to the 4 bet with QQ pf to that unknown 1st hand was a marginal play.

    Jackally,

    Sorry if I upset the old boys network, BrownDog, yourself, G9, Glitterbabe the pro's it's like an exclusive club. Can I not have a bit of fun? Sure i've played a load of hands badly, buts that's how we learn, I just expect better from a pro who claims to earn 200k a year, that was the figure in the chat box. It's bad enough when the fish suck out, without the pro's trying to beat the odds.

    Not a problem Stien - if you were having a bit of fun, then ok. But it didn't quite come across that way to me.

    BTW, I ain't no pro - suppose I should take that as a compliment.

    Hi All

    Just want to say a big thank-you to Matt for selecting me, and thankyou to everyone who has shown their support. To see my name on screen between 2 fulltime pro's and probably the 2 players with the biggest bankrolls on sky was an honour.
    I know I have some doubters, but this is my time to prove I can play poker with the best of them and im not just a forum poster/emailer.

    No idea what the "Challenges" will be, but I will give it 110% (I could do 111% but I can't be bothered ;-) )
    Well done to the other 2 selected, James a know personally as we play together at the KC Club in Swindon along with the_gibb (Who has also been shortlisted twice), 5toneface and STU71.

    Looking forward to the next stage and I hope I can show everyone why Matt selected me over some other great players.

    To them all, my congrats, it's really something special to put yourself up for public scrutiny.

    And I'm stunned by just how many really good Players we have here - look at that list!

    What an eclectic mix, too, & it's warming to see so many of the long-term Sky Poker regulars in the list.

    Just trying to pick up on all the questions.

    An interesting one.

    Several players - yippeeyappee, Jakally, FlashFlush, amongst others, mentioned possibly being at Luton for the next leg of TKO, in March.

    You may not be aware, that the Luton SPT coincides with the night trhat the Total Player Winner will be announced. So you may be in the Studio that night!

    For those at Luton SPT, we will arrange to briefly interrupt the Touirney so you can watch the announcement of the TP Winner live on telly. I'm pretty sure the atmo will be extraordinary, & the winner will be supported hugely by the Community. And as Luton is only 45 minutes from Feltham, I may even bring him or her up to Luton to get the party started. That'd be a bit special.

    Congrats Charles. If I'm not mistaken, you've been with Sky Poker since Day One, & we've met at many of the Live Events. You even cashed in one..... And I doubt if I've played anyone Online at Sky Poker as much as I've played you. A proper gentleman, you.

    Life must be food - TP Mentor Pick, making money at poker, 22 years old, 7 kids, MBN.

    Well done too, to the Swindon Massive - lJAMESl is another one of that growing band.

    ummm I am registered to the SPT semi tonight. Should I just carry on and try to qualify? If I do manage to get to the final would I be refunded or what would happen? Was really looking forward to SPT Luton as I didnt go to Newcastle, but a WSOP seat would have to take priority!

    Amazingly, five of the previous mentor Picks have been on th Thread since last night & given their congrats to last night's picks.

    And two guys who really want to qualify - Dohx7 & Hoggers, have both been very gracious to last night's picks.

    Top stuff.

    Carry on & try to qualify, to assume your non-availability for Luton would be a little premature.

    The TP package includes an SPT Seat anyway, so I doubt you'd be too bothered if you had to miss Luton......

    Absolutly, thats what I was thinking, after weeks of "Gruelling challenges" the satelites would be finished, that was my worry. By no means am i expecting to be in the final, far from it, but like everyone else in this, we are in it to win it, and will all be giving it 110%.

    p.s What a list of players that is at the moment. Cant wait to see who the final 3 are.

    Hi Stoke

    I have to agree, poker is full of outdraws, bad beats and of course our old friend varience, if you have gone in with the best hand and get outdrawn, there is nothing more you can do, its how you deal with it, you either throw your dummy out the pram, or as I do shrug shoulders, got my money in good, nh, carry on to the next game, its poker, its fun, and if you win its a bonus :)

    Posted by loonytoons
    It is not a Forum Vote. It's a Vote of ALL registered Sky Poker Players.

    There's quite a difference. I don't know the precise numbers, but I'd not be far out if I guessed that around 5% of those with Acounts on Sky Poker use the Forum. Which would mean that 95% don't, if my maths were correct......

    Talking of Maths, did you see poor Rich struggling to do the mental maths on Master Cash last night? Natasha was £46 up on an investment of £300 at the time, & he needed a pencil & paper to work out what % that was! What on EARTH do kids learn at school these days?
