    Ive voted, Ive really enjoyed the total player shows, and watching/playing the guys since I left, I think towards the end, I stopped enjoying it, and started to feel it, in fact one night, I was actually dreading it. This resulted in abit of a down-swing on my personal account, not results wise, but I lost the love and passion for the game. It didnt take too long to come back though :) Maybe a year too soon for me. In fact definitely a year too soon for me, Im nowhere near as complete as the top 3, which in a way makes me happy, as I believe I have so much further to go, and will get there, eventually. But I've realllyyyyy enjoyed the shows and all the TP talk - you really get to know the guys, and will be looking forward to the result next week :) DOHH

    I can totally understand where ya comin from wen ya say ya were dreadin it at times, i imagine ya were over thinkin decisions knowing that your every move was there to be scrutinized and picked apart. I bet it was hard to play ya own game, its hard to remember it was exactly that ( your game) that got ya there in the first place. Anyway, fair play for gettin as far as ya did, im sure ya learnt from it all. GOOD lUCK at the tables mate.!!!

    Sunday night results Tournies: Played a few tournies tonight.  Think I came 70th ish primo where I busted out my AK vs AQ. I also played some  real  tournaments.  The stars $215 750k guaranteed - 4594 runners. I finished 163rd. And the Ipoker Sunday mil $535 1498 runners - I came 63rd.  These have tough fields, have a large starting stacks and a slow clock - just like the wsop.  I am very happy with my results and this shows the strength of my tourney game atm, running deep in these two tough tournies :)  its only going to get better in  the next couple of months. XXX ps. thanks ling for railing!

    cheers txspat.

    Yeah its been such a tough competition. I personally have put in over 60 odd hours with playing and writing blogs and updates ect... and there is still 2 days to go!

    I have loved every single minute of it though and it has taught me a great deal about my game and how to adapt to being a 'target' as everyone is trying to bluff you and outplay you every hand. It has been great to work with ed and the other tpers as you cant help but learn from their advice and by just watching them play and discussing hands.

    I can honestly say that i could not have give any more than i have in this competition, and for that reason i have no regrets whatever the result this coming saturday as i have tried my upmost and have left everything at the table.

    Good luck to ben and sparce for saturday, you are both great players and its a privilegde to be mentioned in the same breath.

    Dan

    What you said! ditto!  I am reminded of the last scene in the 300 when Leonidas and one of his soldiers are whispering their last breath:

    "Sir, Its an Honour to die with you" - Leonidis: "and its been a honour to live with you".  

    Gerrard Buttler's the MAN!!! 

    The pleasure has been all mine dan! Good luck to you and ben on sat.

         I'm not crying honest, just bit my cheek. You 3 guys are all abviously extremely skilled players and have given your all and made personal sacrifices along the way to get this far.From what i've seen and read over the past few weeks you're all luverly fellas as well. I've made my vote for what it's worth, however i'll be proud to support whoever goes through as you've all proven to be worthy winners.
         The very best of luck to you all and give them hell you Spartans !

    19. The winner will be selected following an online vote where each Sky Poker player will be eligible to cast one vote.

    the above is from total player T&C,  does a SKY POKER PLAYER mean any who joins sky poker via FB with the only intention of casting a vote for somone they have never heard of or does it mean what it says???

    the final selection process is nonsense imo, although i believe ive chosen the best out of the 3 from my point of view alot of people will have signed up to vote for their mate. the player should be selected through a series of games to prove who is the best not who is the most popular. if you say anything to people that they dont agree with your basically out of the running as people wont like you and wont vote for you.

    In Response to Re: OFFICIAL TOTAL PLAYER THREAD : Good answer - isn't amazing the number of people who go out on the bubble in a sat with aa v kk cl v cl and the guy/girl sat with .5bb left gets through.  Seen this so many times so funny.

    It has happened to me! 4*BB raise in front of me and I shoved with KK. He turned over AA and I missed out on qualification.

    i was in a sat a few  months ago it was one of these monthly millions things the seat was worth i think sumit like 500 quid, any way we was on the bubble and the guy utg couldnt even cover his next BB+ante anyway there were these to other players sitting next to each other who were both well over 50 BBs, they had history playing back at eachother, any way it goes raise reraise jam call kk vs 74 preflop busts on bubble, crazy lol

    Well thats it!!

    Over 76 hours ive put into this competition! It has been a truly awesome experience and i never thought i would make the final 3.

    All the tp candidates were awesome players and it was a priviledge to do battle with you all.

    No matter what the outcome saturday, i can honestly say i could not give anymore than i have, and so i have no regrets whatever the outcome.

    Ben and david i wish u all the best for saturday (whos bringing the alcohol??)

    A big thankyou to all the railers, all the well wishers and all the people that took the time out to vote for a winner.

    Hope to see you all at the tables very soon.

    Its been emotional!

    What an amazing journey this has been, & whatever way you look at it, it's unearthed a whole bunch of good players & good people. Not just the final three, but many, many more, who, despite their disappointment, through their tears almost, are still railing the Final three.

    And above all, such dignity, such class, such spirit. It's been a tough journey, but when the going gets tough, that's the real test. They are all winners, & it's bought us closer to so many of them. They'll always be our heroes, the first ever squad of Sky Poker Total Players.

    I did not Vote for any of them. How could I? - I became friends with every one of them. We wrote to each other, every week, before & after each "selection" Show. I wanted them all to win. And, whatever the Vote says, they did.
