I deleted your post as I don't think Sky would be too happy with sharing streaming sites of Sky Sports 4 on their own (20% anyway) website.
Wouldn't want you getting into trouble eh?
You're still the PLO8 champion though.
To be honest, I don't exactly know how "SKYGO" works, I've barely got used to Teletext, never mind this internet stuff, but it was scheduled as a normal Sky Sports TV Show, so if Sky Sports stuff is available on SKYGO, I would assume this will be.
I'll answer that in the morning if I may, I've just got home after a bit of a long & stressful day, & I'm whacked.
I'll reply first thing in the morning, always assuming I remember.
Ahh, thats better, a good night's sleep works wonders, I'm all oomphy & zingy now.
Fear of flying? I used to be the same, many people still are. You certainly won't be going in the sort of 'plane that so sadly fell out of the sky yesterday, as that was an A320, which is "short haul", you'll be on a long haul Boeing 747, Airbus A330 or A340 or similar.
Safe as houses. Hull losses amount to around 0.25 per million flying hours, or 1 per 4 million flying hours. A flying hour would be about 500 miles I guess. That's safer than crossing the road, & by a long chalk.
The plans for Sky Poker in Vegas? I'll put them on the Vegas 2015 thread, so everyone can see them, HERE
When these have been uploaded to youtube would you be able to post a link on here?
(I made the final table of the Roller on Sunday so will enjoy watching it).
Thanks,

Won't give the game away for others, but having never watched you play before, I was very impressed (lol, so what...), but you just played some standard spots exactly & perfectly correctly the way I saw it. Brutal stuff, ungetoffable. How good does Shorty run, eh?
It was really enjoyable, and as a TV Piece - & You Tube shortly - it was much crisper & better than when we used to have to punctuate it will calls to action, it made an amazing difference, & I think you'll find it much more watchable, & easy on the eye. You'll be able to keep it forever, too, once it goes up on You Tube it sort of never goes away.
I understand it will be uploaded early this afternoon. The moment it is, I will start a thread on here & make it known.
Thanks Tikay that's very kind of you.
It will be interesting to hear Neil's analysis because I actually had the 'pleasure' of sitting directly to his right all day at a UKPC at Dusk Til Dawn a few years back. I was totally out of my depth at the time (was only there because I won my seat in a satellite in a local pub game) but spending those few hours next to Neil was invaluable - watching him work the table etc (working extra hard to make friends with the guy sat to this left for example and saying he'd had enough of this 'mickey mouse tournament' and as ready to go home when he went all in with Aces and wanted to rope in a caller!). There were a couple of hands wHere later on I even told him what I'd had and he gave me his opinion on whether I made the right play etc. It was an awesome experience for me at the time.
Anyway I'll look forward to watching the analysis when its uploaded.

I must apologise for my comments in my previous Post in which I said Neil & James analysed your play.
Thast was incorrect, sorry.
We did it as a pre-record before they arrived.
Pretty sure I'm losing the plot......
Neil & James did all the analysis once the Live Show started, but they were not involved in this.
One question (for Tikay I guess) - there was no mention of 'the forum'. Will that be the case with future shows? Everything contact-wise was email or tweeter, rather than the old option of "via the forum thread".
Nice to see you back ont 'ele
There are, always have been, OFCOM issues with what we used to say on Sky Sports simulcasts, (it's not a simcast now, of course) we can't do ANY calls to action, can't even wear a patch. So we have to run at it a different way. It's the exact opposite of Teleshopping, which was 861's basis.
I did batter the Suits with questions before the Show as to what we could & could not say, but it was all a bit of a rush.
So I was not really sure if we could or could not mention the Forum, as that is perilously close to a "call to action".
We'll define it better as we get to know the ropes.
Glad you enjoyed the Sky Poker TV debut though.
Ambo's shoes, incred - gold. Gold, what's THAT about?
I thought James Akenhead was amazingly good, just terrific.
Mr Ambo's shoes, I can't really slate them. I have a Fender Stratocaster which I had finished in 23-carat gold-leaf, so I know I thing or two about BLING accessories :-)
One advantage is that they are preserved for posterity, yes, so you can always look back at them "on demand".
A lot of we recorded on Tuesday is uploaded day by day, & I'll try to post links on the Community as & when they are.
This week's Top of the Pots hand, analysed by James Akenhead & Neil Chaning is here......
Yes, it was interesting that Nei & James often had quite different views on how to play particular spots. I thought James was a "natural", really very good. I've known him over 10 years, we played at Gutshot in tenner rebuys back in the day, but I had no idea if he would take to TV. He did.
As to whether we can involve the Forum more in the Sky Sports Shows, we are still feeling our way, so bear with us please. It's all come & bit quickly for us, so we are still trying to sort what's what. We have to be extremely careful as to the licensing legalities as to what may be deemed "calls to action" or promoting Sky Poker whilst on Sky Sports, it is an extremely edgy & grey area, & we must not fall foul. But if we can involve the Forum more, we will.
One thing I never foresaw was how much sharper & crisper the Show was, without all the "sign up now" stuff we were obliged to do on 861.
It's an irony, that on 861, with a Teleshopping Licence, we were OBLIGED, as a licence requirement, to do x calls to action per hour. And on Sky Sports, without a teleshopping licence (they don't allow it), we MUST NOT make any calls to action. Jack Spratt & his missus, & all that.
There are some amazing complications in the regulations as to TV these days to be wrestled with.
I enjoyed it. Much better without the calls to action. Flowed along quite nicely but could have done with a few more features beyond the chat and MasterCash. I appreciate that you put it together at very short notice.
I imagine that the forum would need to exist outside the SkyPoker portal for you to be able to mention it on Sky Sports otherwise you could be regarded as "enticing" people to sign up.
Interesting subject!
There are some questions here from the last 24 hours that I have not yet answered - please bear with me, I will do so soonest, hopefully later today.
Thanks.
