    Hi, im new to sky poker but my boyfriend (major1962) has been teaching me as i play on here. I finished 2nd in the open on sat night and have had another final table in the past couple of weeks. My problem is, as major has been teaching me, he hasnt had a look in on tournys since i started. Thats a little unfair as he has had 4 final tables in the 4 weeks before but they wont be looked at will they? Any advice,? as i wouldnt want him to miss out on a possible mentoring tuition. If i have this thread totally correct, please comment. P.S. Ed giidings, you commented on my play in the final table on saturday, its quite difficult being shown how to play and why, in the time allowed to make a decision, so the final "all in" was premeditated if a low card came on the turn as Major thought the other player was holding 2 middle cards and i had been rivered on three hands previous.

    Hi MrsNaughtyByNameButNotByNature.

    I have in fact shared many Tables & convos with "major1962", please give him my best regards.

    I'm afraid selection cannot be backdated - that would open several floodgates, & would just not work - but if Major Major (he was in Catch-22, you know), continues to play well, he has as much chance as any other player.

    I must say he sounds a most chivalrous Gentleman, & you should take good care of him. Us young, available dudes, are far & few between.

    Wish him Good Luck from me, please.

    You can play any Format you wish, if it helps get you into the top 50 ranked by the various criteria.

    Note, however, that they will not be able to show Omaha hands on the Total Player TV Show.

    In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD : Hi is Sharkscope.com a good indicator of how good your doing or not? Thanks
    Posted by lyonsbob06
    It depends what you play. If you play Cash, definitely no, Sharkscope does not cover cash games, it just covers STT's & MTT's. From what I have seen today, it does not cover Omaha Tourneys, as a matter of interest.

    Well done Sky! This is a huge leap forwards in my book, gosh it's going to be a hard decision! There are alot of good players here and I'll wager lots who have looked at various levels of tutoring and/or tweaking their game and looked at a few of the training sites and seen the cost (me included) so for someone this will be Xmas/birthday and then some!  I'm sure that the winner will have fantastic support from the community, and I hope there will be a few short programmes showing the winners path and also a look at some of the skills that have been tuned for those who miss out and would like to improve their game too?

    Hi Naomi - how are you, & Mr McDon? And the Fish Farm?

    Right, the "reduced field" I referred to is later - AFTER the first 6 weeks & 6 Shows.

    What will be announced THIS Saturday is Ed Giddins first 3 players.

    The next Saturday - Boxing Day (the Show will be Live that day) Matt Broughton will make his first 3 picks. 

    The third Saturday, David will announce his first 3.

    Then........

    Rinse Repeat all that for 3 more weeks.

    So, only after that, & during the Boot-Camp phase, does the "reduced field" & potential "extra picks" kick in.

    Ugh, sorry to hear about the Fish Farm, that's too bad.

    I am fine, thank you, Naomi.

    No, you don't need to "Enter" or Register - they will find you if you play well enough.

    Good Luck Gavin.

    Hi TK, glad omaha is being looked at after 2 final tables in my first 2 omaha mtt's and was always a joy busting ur aces hand with my 92 boat :) Shame Omaha not being shown on tele but I think best bet is to mix up the range of tournies anyway to be noticed

    What a weird coup THAT was!

    You Raised it up with K-K-9-2 (so, two danglers) hoping to nick it there & then. I Re-popped with A-A-K-Q DS, & then two OTHER players CALLED ALL-IN.......!

    And of course your 2 Danglers Housed up & beat the lot of us!

    Nice result man, & keep it going.

    It's a game of skill, I tell ya.

    instead of mentors picking 50 players then skyplayer picking the winner the skyplayer should vote first and then the mentors pick the winner out of the top 50

    I'm thrilled that the response to this show has been positive - I must say I'm very excited to be a mentor and have already been scouring the site looking for the Total Player. While my speciality is in cash, I've also played tons of SNGs and MTTs and will be looking for the player that I think has the best chance to become a superstar on the poker circuit regardless of what they play. A good poker player can adapt.

    oh....and no, we don't take bribes.

    See you every Saturday night!

    Don't be silly Ben - I always go in ahead! But keep that quiet, or everyone will latch on to the idea.

    Good Luck with Total Player!

    Err, not half!

    I wish I could claim even a smidgeon of credit for the idea, but I can't, though I'm pretty excited to be part of the Show, I can tell you - I think it's the best thing Channel 865 has ever done.

    Yes a quick question guys.

    Is each mentor picking three players from a list of fifty and then mentoring them only, or can the three each mentor selects change.

    The reason i ask is that i have only been active on the site for the last week and playing micro cash, so wondering if there is enough time to try and catch an eye?

    The Mentors can & may change some or all of their "picks", yes.

    You have plenty of time to catch their eye, worry not.
