       Well Ive seen it all now,    this   fiasco of a tournament !!    Why has it come to a player being violated  and slammed for just playing poker it's just  beyond belief.... Why oh Why ?  I'll tell you WHY !!    The blame falls squarely on the shoulders  of the SKYPOKER management team and the advisers of this ridiculous competition (Total Player) that has led to  this player DOHHHHHHH having to  post this message on the so called Official Thread ......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote "Im obviously gonna be annoyed, that my selection is being crushed. No1 was more surprised than me, but they aren't daft.  To come on and read this thread, and be slaughtered for doing well, is soul crushing. People of course are entitled to disagree with the decision, but to slate me publicly, is wrong, especially as there's other guys who deserve congratulations/commiserations. U guys setting out to crush me, I fell for it, and its probably cost me. clap clap DOHH"  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  So many times the 'faces' from Sky management and  TV personalities (you all know who you are) come on the forum and either ridicule or even ban players on this  forum for speaking their minds...(right or wrongly)  But your are the inventors of this competition and  you invite comments,  however  what did you expect to  happen the way this  'TP' has  been constructed .. I questioned about   6 weeks ago  this format and was called a 'troll' for making a comment, but it was  obvious this  would  end in tears in more ways than one.... Just  because you have the means to  delete and have the  last word doesn't  make it  right, that  a player like DOHHHHHHH has been left near to  tears ..... and it probably wont end here DOHHHHHHH  yes you deserve better  than what has happened and I feel there has been  a bully boy tactic's  by a certain little  group of  so called players ... but these  people who think they are 'the bee's knee's are living in a 'fools  paradise' ....  You are  one  of the best young players on this  site but this competition is a nonsense ...

    Skymod1 will defo ban you now lol. To be fair, i think that the total player concept was started with all the best intentions, it just wasn't thought out properly, i get the impression that they make it up as they go along, i bet they don't even know the final format yet? That said, you ain't gonna please everyone no matter what you do,however maybe next year if they do it again they will take on board some of the legitimate criticisms raised this year. One point i do disagree with you on, and i have no evidence to back this up, is that i don't believe it is being run for a 'jolly' for a staff trip to vegas.

    Hi Benny -  how did you do in Luton tongiht?

    Anyway to the post.  I think that the format has some flaws, however it is Sky's first attempt at a format like this.  I haven't seen any of the TP episodes until today, and can say that I really enjoyed the show, the hands and the content.

    I think that if it does run next year then changes will be made.

    Oh and So many people have left this site for  various reason  and this competition has not helped !!

    I have to disagree with this.  In the past 6 lmotnhs traffic on here has boomed.  On the cash tables the liquidty of players has at least doubled.

    defo needs improving if its to work next time. and agree its getting like a dictatorship on the forum, and ive noticed that whenever anyone has an opinion that is different from the majority then they get slaughtered, examples, 'THEROCK' for his opinions on dohhhh, then the other day with 'Webby' for his opinion on how he would play a cash hand. seems if you arent going to lick each others backsides then you cant have an opinion. IMO :)

    Come on man. IMACOCK's posts were malicious and insulting. If he has an opinion on the matter he should post in a respectful manner. To be fair, I believe you did so when you were stating your agreement with his views and you didn't get "slaughtered", banned or deleted. To my recollection there were no personal insults or unpleasant comments in the thread where Webby stated his opinion that he would fold the AJ. There were a number of people stating that they would not fold and giving reasons why. Webby has a confrontational style, not an insulting style, and some of the responses were posted in the same style. That was good, healthy debate in my view.

    Barry, I disagree with much that you have said here but you have the right to say it. There is no need whatsoever for the Sky Poker management to apologise to Dohhhh. They selected him for TP, he has got through 2 phases of the competition and he has the opportunity to strut his stuff on a bigger stage. Nothing there to apologise for. it is one or two unpleasant, jealous people who shoud be apologising.

    if i recall, all he stated was that he 'thought' dohhh was a bad player and other players should have gone through instead, no malice just strong opinion, which in fairness he's entitled to. i wouldnt be saying that he hasnt done anything malcious if i didnt think he hadnt.

    he didnt swear, become aggressive unlike dohhh with his reply, which i know he will regret posting this morning probably. 

    you think i did anything wrong in my replies?

    No I dont think you really said anything wrong in your replies and I stated as such in mine. You made a comment, or at least supported a comment, about Tikay and Dohhh, which was rather childish. The other poster used words such as "shocking" and "donkfest", which are way over the top and made deliberately to provoke an intemperate reponse IMO, which he got! He was also implying that there was bias and favouritism at work.

    He said Dohhhh and Dantb were not good enough players to be there. He later withdrew his comment about Dantb but continued to taunt Dohhh until the thread was closed. Apparently he was in the chatbox earlier stirring up trouble. IMACOCK by name, IMACOCK by nature.

    Absolutely spot on! I don't play on sky because they put a ridiculous chat ban on me for criticising this competition.

    They still want to take my money without allowing me to speak to my friends whilst playing.

    How foolish are these people?

    You'd be very surprised, I think, if you looked up some of the names on SkyPoker.
    Try "Find A Player" for players whose names start "BIGSHI" for example.
