Sky Poker Staff at the UKPC - Who's Who?

Sky_Dan

Seeing as Tikay is telling me off in another thread, I thought I would show you who's attending the UKPC from Sky Poker. You know Grandpa and Mr Channing already, but you might not have a clue who the rest of us are. You are more than welcome to ask us any questions if we can help out with anything over the weekend. I can't promise that we'll know all of the answers but we will try our best!

Sky Dan (Operations)

Favourite hand: Jd 9d

Favourite format: PLO

Favourite band: Deftones

Random fact: I once toured the West Coast of the USA playing in a band

 

Sky Sam (Product)

Favourite hand: Qc 10c

Favourite format: NLHE

Favourite band: McFly

Random fact: I once went on the TV show Pointless...and won!

Sky JP (Priority)

Favourite hand: 7c 4c

Favourite format: NLHE

Favourite band: Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Random fact: I once met my idol - a guy called Victor Wooten

Sky Mark (Marketing)

Favourite hand: any suited connectors

Favourite format: NLHE

Favourite band: McFly (again!?)

Random fact: I used to play semi-professional football in Finland 

So yeah, don't be shy. I'm sure most of us will be in Sky Poker brand so we should be easy to spot.

Is it just me or does that picture of Sky Mark look like he's just settling in for the night at some homeless shelter?

A Mistake with his UKPC Hotel Booking perhaps?


Thanks for the Insight Dan, always nice to put a face to the names.

See you all very soon. - Can't wait.

Hahaha and what thread would that be if I didn't already know. Nice to put faces to names though

That picture of Sam is a bit scary.

Meet Sam. Mean machine.

G in Leeds?

Big +1 to what Stu said. Borderline sexist to not have a female in the ranks.

And I abhor sexism.....

Im sure I have played 1/2 cash with Dan and schooled him, although I don't school any1 as I'm a fishhhhhhhh

We miss Kirsty as much as you. We do however sit in very close proximity to the Sky Bingo team which I can assure you is female-heavy. That really doesn't sound right but you know what I mean.

And we changed Mark's photo by the way, he thought that I had stitched him up and wasn't impressed.

Good to see the newer faces. I met JP in a bar at Nottingham for the last UKPC however I get the impression he probably won't remember

It did seem pretty out of order to use a photo from his days in a Take That tribute band!

A lot of players met Sam in Vegas, but he won't remember one of them. He seemed to be tired & distressed much of the time.

Bet he thought he'd got out of that one!! :P

I'm pretty sure I owe people a fair few drinks too from the past couple UKPC's but no idea who! (queue a long list of people coming up to me saying I owe them a drink!)

Oops! OK, maybe it was the big boss Rich that was a little worse for wear. I'll get you one or 2 this weekend. Do you want ice with your water?

A much better picture of Mark - Although he now looks a little like "Rick Astley"

Sky JP looks like a supply teacher taking a selfy in his music class


See you soon guys.

Sorry Dan but as the great Roy Walker repeatedly said 'say what you see'.
