Plans for something different??   You can't do this lol - I've become addicted to SPTs since I went to the one in Dublin last year.  I've even renewed my passport in the forlorn hope that it would be on again this May (and booked the weekend off from hubby at the same time......).  Does this mean that there will be NO SPTs this year and Sky are going to leave me in a sobbing mess?  (ok so I might be slightly exagarating - but only slightly)

cardu

would really like to have some idea if sky are gonna do anything as there are other live tournys that players can do......not all of us can afford to do everything...........I don't want to miss out on spt

Known fact that the poker tv channel site is not supporting itself as Sky first hoped.  They tried to attract big named players but they are not interested.

There was a gap in the market when PokerStars (Which you are not able to write in chat box in game play - like a swear word) lost its USA market - but they still have all the pro's, the better presenters have gone there and now heavy investment in tv coverage has meant the live players are generally more inclined to play there.  Sky still yet to get permission to run satellites for EPT and ANY main event that's not their own.

Is a shame - Sky started off so well - but I fear that the SPT will be in its last year.  Hense no schedule unlike last year - "something Different" just means out of ideas and struggling

This is standard across the board. Sky did run sats for WSOP but there was an issue with that last year dont know if that maintained this year or not. 

No sites run events for other sites games, its bad for business for both sites. Most times in some events the blurr out other sites badges on players on tv. 

Sky have never been a site to attract big pros. Which is why i think the SPT is a great thing, it meets the demand of the vast sky player pool rather than the £1k event which most sky players would struggle to afford.

Any update on spt? Im planning my first visit to a spt and dont want to miss out

hughesie

Any idea when we will get an announcement? Even if it is to say you are not doing anything? 

SPT

Hello

there should be some news of plans this week coming

graywalker

so no live tournaments this year??

SPT

how do you get that comment from my statement above?

lol, i implied nothing of the sort.

andrew1947

against spt, players are not generating any revenue for sky while they are at tournament

cost time and money for sky and staff.

For spt,many players including myself stay loyal to sky because of the community,much due to meeting players live at spt and becoming friends.

If sky stopped SPT's it would loose the community spirit and so would loose some of the players to other sites.

ukpc is great,but not for everyone.the majority of players at ukpc i think were not regular sky players

  So a mixture of both would be best for sky and players. 

Thats my opinion

DANDYDON87

Scotland Event please...

FLASHJONNY

there has been talk of new venues so Sheffield or Coventry perhaps would love the new g casino in new brighton that's coz its only up the road lol blackpool and Birmingham great venues too great facillites too as my mobility not great anyway that's my twopenneth for what its worth and gl to every 1

hughesie

Thanks for letting us know that. Looking forward to hearing whats on the go!! Been missing my pint!!

liamboi11

i`m guessing no spt`s this year if there is another ukpc schedule in august?

SPT

not necessarily, there is no definitive decision that there won't be SPTs in 2014.

The Mini 6 max deepstack at the start of the UKPC 11 days is designed to appeal to the lower bankrolls, quarter the buy in of the main, juicy £150,000 GTE and 50 seats for the main up for grabs.
