I know Norman Pace's wife is into arranging this if I have my facts straight.
We could have this like as a once yearly event. A bit like Vegas, Super sat in, maybe a package costs around £1k?
Just an idea!

The Sky Summer Poker Cruise...
ALL ABOARD!
Yes!
For the moment, that's all I can say.
A few little odds & ends have to be tied up first.
Would it be "just turn up"? No. Previous Sky Poker Live Events have all been "all seats sold" weeks in advance. I can't ever imagine a situation where seats are available on the day.
Qualification would be Online, via Sky Poker Satellites.
All hypothetically, of course.
I really can't answer any more questions on this until an official announcement is made. I hate to see questions raised & left unanswered, it seems so rude, but if you guys could just be a little more patient, all will be revealed.
I'm probably in trouble with the Suits already, for even discussing this, but if questions are asked, I think they deserve answers.
Weathers been nice this week though, eh?
No worries purfecttig, all will become clear very soon. Hypothetically.
Sky is very friendly both players and staff.. Sky are very aware some people havent played live (probably 30% of last yrs players hadnt)
There will be laods of advice on the net for ettiquette in live play if you want to read up before hand, but you will be fine. Hope to see you at an event...
Remember Bristol is the future of poker. Please ensure Sky is there.
Cheers

i hear they held one in Swansea last time so "if" it goes ahead and "if" its held there again i can always pop down before hand as my home town (and play BJ there often) for them to show me the ropes before hand. Even if i dont qualify id still like to go down on the night and get drinks for all the peeps who have suffered bad beats to me for my loose and rather questionable calls when i was learning, got to start somewhere (",) im loving the site.
*disclamer - the drinks offer only stands if SPUKT is held in Swansea, your middle name winklevanperryspot, there is a full moon and your wearing an white and red pokeodot shirt*
Tikay in the last years events were the tournaments all entered via satellites? or could you buy in directly through a sky poker account, just a question as I couldn't find any information from those events
The only exception was the final where you could pay the£220 entry fee straight into, as i had to.
This was opened to allow off line players enter, which left a bit of a bitter taste in some of the regulars mouths, although the only way to get paid was to open an account with Sky.
Most of the final table, at that event, to my knowledge have never played here.

Indeed i am SwansFC, wouldnt have guessed you were thou..hehe You ever played in Apser's? its a nice venue but only ever play BJ as dont feel ive got the experience to to playing in casino yet.
Yeah i've played there a few times, good place for a game of poker, can hurt my wallet though! lol. although id rather invest in a game of poker than blackjack, i hate that game :P
I have to say that SKY only tournaments would be my preferred option.
SKY is a poker community and it would be nice to think that you were beating your friends/rivals that you play against all year round.
I've been away for 6 weeks and we're still waiting for dates so you better make it good tikay!!!! Seriously though, thanks for all the "behind the scenes work" i'm sure tikay is doing on our behalf.
This must be wrong ? Have I got this right what your saying !! Top 10 from each event went through to a final ........then anyone was allowed to enter even if they had never played skypoker ? .... All anyone had to do was open an account and they could play on the day?
mr-mbro I'm not doubting what you think but come on, if that is what happened then this year ..why dont SKY just tell all the other sites they can come on the day of the final ??
Quote, " Most of the final table at the event, to my knowledge have never played here.col"
I think were missing some here this doesn't add up !!
Maybe someone at Sky will clarify if a tour goes ahead as to how players can and cant get to the final event ?

I am not going to Post further on this Thread, buit I've explained the position clearly on the new Thread, in reply to Col (MrMbro).
Blackpool? No. The nearest to Blackpool would be, I think, Manchester, Glasgow, or Newcastle.
All the Venues have been listed in the Official Sky Poker Blog, or in the three new Threads on the Sky Poker Tour Board on this Forum.
Hope to see you at one of the SPT Legs.
It is a nice card-room, we chose Manchester for this Tour though. Not too far away from the Lancashire coast!
