Sunday night LIVE on Sky Poker TV: with Rich and Stu

edited October 2014 in Poker Chat

Yes, Stu and I are back for the sequel to Tuesday's classic. 


Will it be like The Dark Knight, even better than the original?


Or are we talking more along the lines of A Good Day to Die Hard?


Only one way to find out- tune in!


Sky Poker TV LIVE this Sunday 26th Oct from 7pm. With...


Orville!


                               
   

and Jabba the Rutt!


                         

 

 

It's £25K Super Roller night so of course we'll be all over our big weekly Sunday night game.


And- we'll be covering the most exciting freeroll we've ever held.


The 7pm Punta Cana Last Resort Freeroll


If you've earned 200 poker points or more this week, which most of you will have done- you have a once-in-a-lifetime FREE shot at landing the ultimate poker package. All the details of what you win are here, but in short an all-expenses paid holiday for two to the Carribean and entry into a massive poker tournament. Unreal. It's the stuff of big Saturday night gameshows.


Somebody will win that tomorrow night and we hope to be on air when it happens.


And for a bit of amusement- let's see how sharp your skill are at predicting the future...


What will Sky Poker look like in 100 years time?          

                                        


And yes, of course we'll still be running and thriving! 


So, what will playing Sky Poker be like in the year 2114? What will the channel look like? How different will the experience of playing poker be to today? Just think of the difference between 19th century Mississippi riverboat gamblers and playing on the internet in the 21st century.

Let your imagination run amok. And of course, you can come up with serious answers or, not-so-serious answers. 


I sense a lot of Tikay jokes coming...


Can't wait for the response on this. And, as if you needed an extra incentive to get involvd with your favourite poker show, but

everyone who has a comment read out (or hand request played) 

will go in the hat, from which at the end of the night we'll draw three Turbo Open seats for next week.

    Hope you have a great show, guys.

    Stu looks a bit like a poor man's Phil Helmuth in that photo ;)

    In 100 years time skypoker will be thriving thanks to the presenting skills of Miss Connie Cretia Bridgeworth ( daughter of that famous double centurion Mr Tony Kendall who is now presenting "railways live" that little known programme which is on for 5 minutes in the break between celebrity big brother and Jeremiah kyleswoth on Chanel 500 ) and her partner Ricardo Orford ( who got the job thanks to his dad ex presenter Richard winning the euro millions and buying out sky for the tidy sum of 500 million pounds just to annoy aforementioned Mr Kendall) 
    Have a great show chaps.

    I believe Stu was the original poker brat and Helmuth nicked his image.

    So, Tikay's daughter marries my son, who I named after myself???

    That feels so wrong.

    I like the bit where I buy out Sky and become Tikay's boss though.

    You both, of course, appreciate that Tikay would be closing in on the quarter century if this was true.

    Keep it in the realms of reality, guys.
  • edited October 2014
    Edit. Presenting partner...his offer of marriage was politely declined as of course they are related due to mr Orford being mr kendalls illegitimate son ( a fact uncovered during the DNA process in the  census of 2050 which was part of the reasoning behind mr or fords buying of sky and giving his dad a job ) hope this clears up the misunderstanding.

    Mr Orford, a question for you, HERE
  • edited October 2014
    My poker predictions for 100 years time.

    1. To successfully grind you will need to be able to multi table 100 tables.

    2. Recreational online poker will involve a virtual reality world where you can either play 6 seat games with holographic friends or play mtts in iconic venues such as the belaggio or play as or against your poker heroes or villains.

    3. Monkey Poker will be a prime time hit show. Its presenters the cryogenically frozen  relifed tikay and richord orford iii finally knocking ant and dec off top spot for best light entertainment personalities. The inventor of the show a mysterious recluse known only as phantom retired in modest riches as a billionaire and won the coveted simon cowell award for an outstanding contribution to reality tv.

    Have a good show guys.

    !00 years from now Sky poker will still be the interactive channel, but the advances in technology will mean the contestants wear light helmits with screens that actually project a 3 dimensional image on to the eyeballs, there would be multiple minature speakers that gave s realistic surround sound and a microphone so you could talk to the others on the virtual table. What a table it would be too with anything you could possibly imagine alno the Avatars could be anything and realistic too. When someone wrights in to the show it will actually be a virtual recording and they would appear in the studio to ask the question. I can't actually see the game changing, but the way it will be presented will appear amazing to us now.
  • edited October 2014
    My prediction"In 100 years,none of us will be here. So who is going to
    decide the winner?"
    Maybe Tikay will be the chosen one remaining,and the Sky Poker room will be full of Zombies,with music in the background playing Thriller by Michael Jackson.

    Rich u needed to have earnt  200 poker points  since monday for the freeroll
  • edited October 2014
    Perhaps in 100 years the presenters will be standing in a studio with virtual cards floating in the air in front of them as they analyse the hands.

    No wait, that was 5 years ago.

    "Revenge is a dish best served cold."

    Meaning that revenge is best long after your enemy has forgotten about it and feels safe...

    ...it doesn't really work if you announce it on national tv beforehand, Rich.

    Have a great show gents.

    sky in 100 yrs.


    I think it will be going strong, floating ipads etc, the presenters will still be tikay and rich although I imagine, heads in jars.... like futurama. slagging each other as people message in with confusion "what's a railway?"  

    whoever makes the final table though of the main events, will instantly be transported too the studio too play live against each other. if its a bounty hunter though.... think of highlander there can be only one!

    we will still be asking when the next spt is?

    poker in 100 years time will look like the poker maze future zone is looking today.

    the good thing is TK won't be about so we'll be able to hear people speaking over the PC Check fold raise call without the boring speeches of TK himself.

    then again we could see an alien TK coming down to earth by then or maybe we'll see  dr who bring him back alive in a time machine.

    who knows the fish and sharks might have evolved well enough to actally play poker themselves

     I can see that in 100 years sky will merge with other shows such as " defect " and be called  DEFECT NOW TO SKY POKER,
    maybe even including GREAT RAILWAY JOURNIES TO SKY.
    The new show must have both beauty and brains, so Tikay as the brains and stu as the beauty.
    What a team, they could even have an elderly richorford, doing historical cash hands because in 100 years they will no longer use cash.

    Monkey Poker ... the sequel...

    By 2214 Monkey Poker has become the biggest spectator sport in the world with Billions watching via their telepathic-holographic implants.

    Monkeys are being genetically modified and given years of specialist coaching to improve their skills.

    Caeser the reigning WSOMP - (World Series of Monkey Poker) champion becomes the first monkey allowed to enter the WSOP as rights campaigners complain it is demeaning to have a "monkey only event". After slowrolling Phil Helmuth VI when knocking him out an arguement ensues. A penalty is issued to Caeser by the tournament director (TK the pokerbot) Caeser says "noooooo!" wrecks the joint and rushes to free his fellow captive monkeys and apes.

    Ten years later Richard Orford IV returns from his Mars trip having won a package on sky. It turns out the tourney was rigged as sky wanted a cheap way to get rid of Mr Orford (how else could an Orford win a big tourney). He finds a world dominated by apes and monkeys and the battle for survival begins...

    hi rich,stu,

    great show ...


    you know your other presenters have had trouble pronouncing punta cana.  do you want to beat them?  i think that the cana bit has a cedilla over the n.  that means it should be pronounced "can-ya"


    also, the freeroll will end in the next hour.



     

  • edited October 2014
    Punta Cana doesn't have any accents at all. Keep pronouncing it as you were Rich.
  • edited October 2014


    i am only going by my flight tickets which have a cedilla



     
  • edited October 2014
    If it was a wiggly line above the "N" that would be a tilde. But it shouldn't be there.
  • edited October 2014

    ah, i will let you know next week

    In 100 years OMAH will be the new holdem - Olford will be the new Brad pitt! And I will be the new negranu :-)

    Then I woke up and I Crystal maze is still brilliant ;-)
  • edited October 2014
    Rich, some of the players may actually be playing for second place (i.e. the £500 cash rather than the Punta Cana trip) if they're unlikely to be able to take the time off etc. to go to the Dominican Republic.


    This of course makes no sense as the package included more than £500 to be deposited to the Sky Poker accounts for plane tickets, but some may not have known that and it may explain why not everyone is all out for first place.
