There are weeks left in this and the 3 chosen will have to be sharp and on their game to stay in the running so I don't understand the bickering, hope it is all sorted now and get back to good old debate.
Huge congrats to Penguin, Dan and Cottlad
Dave

Acetenolol - do continue to make reasonable comment here or indeed on any any UK forum you might choose. You're free to say you don't like any TV programme or promotion that Sky Poker runs, but you will step over the line if you suggest Sky Poker is operating outside of a legal or moral framework - as those are responsibilities we take very seriously here.
I would also encourage any Sky Poker player who feels we can improve Total Player going forward to post within this thread. The Sky Poker team are not in the self congratulatory business, we are always keen to hear from our players and I'd like to think we have a good track record of listening and acting on your thoughts and suggestions where we can.
Finally, I thought the best move of the night was left unrewarded in yesterday's programme. The Producer pulled the wooly jumpers! GG Aisling.
Regards,
Des.
Tikay, how many people do you employ to post on your behalf? I check on blonde to see how an associate is doing in 250k DTD and you're posting, I check on here and you're also cracking away. Not just the occasional thread either, virtually every single one! I know typewriters were two a penny back in the day (and were probably a school subject) but I refuse to believe you operate at 70wpm. Remarkable stuff.
He's our bot, that's the most important thing
Yes, surely the Jawas had something better for sale? Even an old R2 unit...
In my opinion their standard of work has seriously declined.

I'll get up to date on replies in the morning guys, been a bit of a long day today.
I, or my coleagues, will answer ANY or ALL questions, comments or feedback, as long as they are posed in a civil manner.
For now, I'd like to thank everyone for the warmth you've shown towards the 3 "first picks". Multiply that by 5, deduct a few, add a few more, & this is going to be as good as TKO was in Community Building I fancy. I can't wait.
Sky Des's face when the "second-stage" guys start playing with a Bankroll supplied by him will be a picture, trust me......
We'll get the thread back on track tomorrow, & thank you for the feedback already.
and then goes and wins ,
bloo d y knew he wasn't human ,
fixxxxxxxxxxxx ,
i want my money back .
What people forget is that they have the power not to get involved, or switch over if they don't like what they are reading/seeing. Not every competition is for everybody, so what's the big deal?
Sky is not forcing anyone to enter or get involved. I have chosen not to because I don't have the time to play. So if you don't like the comp why get your nickers in a twist?
1. Am I furious at Sky for offering a competition I can't enter sucessfully? Nope.
2. Do I feel hard done by? Nope.
3. Will I continue to play on Sky? Yes.
Well done Sky on a great comp that will provide entertainment for the players/viewers, make money for the site, and money for some players. A normal poker site does the last two only, Sky is giving the entertainment too. Added value in my opinion.
If anyone ever finds a sucessful poker site that doesn't run itself for profit and gives everything that Sky does please pm me, I would love to know if such a thing exists.
Lastly - the comment that the show insulted the intelligence of it's audience....as a member of Mensa my intelligence wasn't insulted, in fact I laughed a lot and enjoyed watching it. It's entertainment, and I'll turn on just to watch the odd couple spar with each other. If I stop enjoying it I'll just turn over. Bit of a no brainer that one, you don't need to be a member of mensa to figure that one out surely?
Now can we just move on to finding out how the next few weeks are going to pan out and when will we know who we are railing at the WSOP? Thank you. :-)
Who be they?
Please, this is a serious Show.
But I cant believe all of the negativity.
I feel I should answer a few of the more ridiculous comments, like about pro players,presenters pets etc.
I am a poorly paid part time coach driver ! I started playing about 3 years ago and had a brilliant year last year making a few bob, some of which went to pay the mortgage. This year has been a lot tougher, I had so many bad beats I almost thought it was fixed ! But the truth is that the standard of play on here is better and Ive had to up my game to survive. And i have had a few good wins over the last couple of weeks which probably is what got me noticed. I dont toady up to presenters, I have faced tikay on the tables quite a few times but that is coz he likes the same tournys as me.I also met him and a few others at nottingham and swansea last year, which were both brilliant ! Other than that Ive been a phone guest once on a saturday and been interviewed once on the club.
I dont spend much time here in the forum coz im too busy playing, and the first i knew of this TP thing was a phone call on Thursday from sky. I still dont know much about it other than from last night when one of the players on my table in the Open said I was on telly so I tuned in.
But I do want to try and move up a level so it is obviously an opportunity ! I just hope I dont have to play cash tables coz I never do.
So, yes I am lucky to have been picked but everybody has the same chance.
Surely sky should be praised not criticised for giving us all this opportunity.
Hope to meet some of you at Newcastle
Im sure you reconise my name, we have played together many times over the years. Dont feel you have to justify yourself to anyone. Along with yourself and massie, you are great players but you have been noticed because of that, not because you chat on the forums or play the presenters all the time. Iand many other have always rated you as one of the best MTT players on Sky and you are fully deserved of your place in TP. As the winner will be selected by the players maybe a bit of brown nosing is in order ;-). But for someone who simply plays the game instead of talkingthe game, you have done very well to be as known as you are.
Goodluck and see you soon no doubt
Well said Penguin.
His first name is Sky.
Ace, it's Des Duffy.
You, like Dan and Cottlad thoroughly deserve this opportunity, all the best for the next few weeks
Greg
Yes we all want to be picked for TP but there are only a few spaces and there are so many very good players.
Ive only been playing a short time and still learning. Why would they pick me( i wouldnt), It would be like chealsea picking a conferance player over John Terry.
You sound as tho you have been playing for a long time im sure if your are a good player they will find you but having a rant about it is not the way right way to get noticed.
Anyway cograts to dantb10, cottlad, peguin7. and all the best to all the others that get picked as well
and well done sky for putting on the show and prizes up.
May the poker gods be with you
Hawk
Could you also give details of your daily routine, when you travel alone in the car and any vunerable moments. Tnx.
Is this why Orford got a taxi home the other night.....? Oh no - wait a minute...
