Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
MasterCash meets Total Player!
A VERY big night tonight, with TWO very special live Shows.
At 8pm, Mastercash, featuring "The Grind", with three very special Grinders. The 2 hour Show will include, as always, "Top Of The Pots".
And at 10pm, (drum-roll), it's the final edition of Total Player, which will reveal the Total Player winner. There will be no less than NINE people in the Studio, I gather. I'm sitting on Orford's lap, I think.
During MasterCash, we will try - TRY - to read out as many e-Mails as possible (no promises), so send them into the usual addy please - skyopen@bskyb.com
The Techie folks in the Gallery will also be monitoring the Chat-Box on "The Grind" Tables during MasterCash, & again, where possible, Rich or I will try to read out comments.

So, tonight's "The Grind", will feature three players you have probably heard of......
Ben Nuttall, aka Nutter5932.
Dan Brown, aka Dantb10.
David Capon, aka sparce.
They will all be playing under their OWN aliases, NOT their TP aliases.
The ROI based "The Grind" is based on ROI on MONEY USED, so they can pull up as little or as much as they wish.
We don't know WHAT Tables they will play on yet, so use "Find A Player" to locate them, but it will almost certainly be the Mastercash badged Tables.
Oh, & do me a favour. BUST THEM!
The Grind will probably run from about 8pm, (possibly slightly earlier, so they can ensure they get a seat), until no later than 9.30pm.
It will be quite an atmo in the Studio tonight, particularly at the end of Total Player.
But for Rich, Producer 'Ling, & myself, it will be a bitter-sweet Show too, as it brings to an end our Saturday night rota, which we have done uninterrupted since MasterCash began, back in November, & Total Player, in December. Total Player obviously ends tonight, but as far as I know, MasterCash continues - though without Rich, Ling & myself, as we are all moving on to other Shows, on other nights.
I've never enjoyed doing ANY shows on Chennel 865 as much as I've enjoyed doing these two Shows, both of which have been huge fun, not just on air, but on the Forum, too. Sure, there has been a bit of flak here & there, but overall, I would not have swapped with anyone.
The attraction, of course, has been the interaction, the community spirit, the banter. You guys are special, very special.
On behalf of Rich, Ling, & myself, thank you very much.
I must also thank Ling & Rich for putting up with the grumpy old fella. Because I DO get a bit grumpy, trust me, but those two carried me through everything, & never once complained.
It's been emotional.
And I'm sorry to hear you, Rich and 'Ling won't be doing the Mastercash anymore
Dan Brown, aka Fish
David Capon, aka all in machine
Only kidding guys - or am I lol!! Best of luck to you three tonight - can't wait to watch you play on MC - it's always great watching great cash players on MC!!
Total Prayer! :-D
Hopefully it won't be long until you are rota'd back on to Saturday evenings together.
Do we know who is taking over the slot yet? A few suggestions for you:
Ant and Dec - Where the new intro to Top Of The Pots could be a rendition of "Lets Get Ready To Rumble"
Cannon and Ball - with catchphrase "Rock on TommyD"
Little and (not so) Large (any more since the cuppa-soup / oxo diet)
The Chuckle Brothers
Edit: Ling of course would be played by the ever so posh Hyacinth Bucket aka Bouquet

good luck
great show guys you will be sadly missed ,
great banter and advice ,
gl to the 3 tpers tonight !
Yes, he does get grumpy.
That is all.
LOL
I've thoroughly enjoyed Mastercash and Total Player and will be sad to leave Saturday nights.
Thanks to all you guys for supporting the two shows- which Tikay, Ling and I are very proud of as we've been there right from the start.
But I'm pleased to say we're leaving Mastercash in the very capable hands of Lisa Marie and, who wouldn't want to be left in the hands of LM?
Keep the messages coming in guys, I'll be reading as many as I can on tonight's show.
Oh, and good luck to the TP'ers!
Well, rehearsal is finished, working out how to choreograph the cameras, lighting, graphics etc for the "reveal" was quite something for the techies.
Just to say, also, that NONE of the Studio Crew, including Rich or I, & the Mentors, will know the result UNTIL the Reveal. I guess 'Ling knows, but I ain't asking, & she ain't telling.
We WILL all know - at least, those of us in the Studio with "talkback" (earpieces connected to the Gallery), about 2 seconds before you do.
Posh Boy (sparcey) is here, we've had a chat, & I gather Ben & Dan are, too, though I've not seen the latter two yet.
Congratulations to all involved with Mastercash to date for producing a wonderful show.
Saturday night won't be the same without Tikay and Richard but I'm sure that Lisa-Marie and her co-analyst will do a great job too.
Without doubt, this show has been the highlight of the week on Channel 865 - long may it continue.
The thread has gone slightly skew-wiff, so I need to explain a few things.
All the Presenters, Analysts & Producers work in sort of Teams, on a Roster, & the Roster changes every 6 weeks or so.
However....Total Player was a first for the Channel - a "series", which lasted 16 weeks (?), & for Continuity reasons, the same ""Team" needs to do the whole Series. So, in short, we have pretty much messed up the Roster.
So, all that is happening, is that we are "reverting to Roster". And I'm 100% sure that the next Team - I believe it's Lisa, Mark, & Producer Chris - will bring their own spin to the Show, & MasterCash will continue to get better & better.
As for Rich & myself, we are moving to Pre-Records on Wednesday, when we do 4 or 5 Shows in one go, & we will do that for 6 weeks, God willing, then move to Thursdays or Sundays.
Included in that 6 weeks, pending a pilot show we record this Wednesday (not for transmission, just to sort it out), will be the first 5 editions of a.....new Show.
Can't wait.
PS - Thank you for all your support, & kind words.
The very best of luck to Lisa-Marie & Mark (and producer Chris obv!)
