Sky Poker TV tonight will have a very special Guest

Tikay10 · March 2015

Evening all.

As you may have heard......Sky Poker TV begins it's journey tonight with it's first tentative steps.

There are no plans at present to generally replicate the 861 format, we'll try & retain some parts, but we are going to try & create something different, varied, more exciting & more inclusive for a wider audience.

Tonight's fayre will include, almost as before, some hands from the Mastercash Tables which will be analysed by our studio Team.

The backbone of the show, though, & tonight's main themr, will revolve around poker in Las Vegas.

The line up? Tonight's Presenter is Jules (Sowa) Breach. I've just seen her in the Staff Canteen (sorry, Restaurant) with rollers in her hair. I expect she'll remove them before the Show.

Mr Ambo, aka Neil Channing will be with us - he'll be a big part of many things that Sky Poker TV have planned.

Due to a quirk of scheduling, I'm in the "analyst" chair again tonight, though I fancy I won't have much to do, because as well as Neil, we also have a very special Guest tonight.

Recognize him?

BOOM, you nailed it - James Akenhead the 2009 WSOP "November Niner".

We are chuffed to bits to have James in tonight, he's had an amazing poker journey, & is one of the greats of British poker. He's had just shy of $2,000,000 of winnings in the WSOP, the 5th highest ranked Brit ever.

The Show will be on Sky Sports 4 from 10pm until midnight.

Are we all nervous? Just a bit.

And some background cliffs, & explanation as to why I'm rushing, & all of a tither.

Our "Call Time" (the time we have to report to the Studio, post wardrobe & make up) is still 6.30pm, when we "rehearse", test the lighting & sound, establish tx links to Sky Sports, & then, from 7pm until 10pm, we will be pre-recording various Sky Poker TV Content & pieces to camera, which will start to be released in the coming days & weeks on You Tube.

Then, at around 9.30pm, we'll take a wee break, freshen up, & prep for the "Live" Show at 10pm, which will run through until Midnight.

Whether you watch or not, have a great evening.

Hi Guys, good luck with the show to all.

Mr Tikay will you be doing a betting preview for the Grand National on SKY SPORTS please

Tikay10 · March 2015

Quick update.

We are on a break now.

We have recorded about a dozen pieces to camera for You Tube.

9 or 10 of them were trial pieces, just 1 or 2 minutes each. These may or may not see the light of day.

We also did Top of the Pots, and the Roller final table from Sunday.

The last two felt much crisper and sharper without all those "calls to action". ("Sign up now, welcome bonus, bla bla). Not having to do them definitely felt that it made them more viewable.

They ( the last 2) will be uploaded to You Tube some time tomorrow, and I will let everyone know as soon as they go up.
