Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Sky Poker's BIG GAME has a Brother!
As you know, Channel 865 has now covered two £1,000 "BIG GAME" nights on the Sky Poker.com cash tables & the feedback suggests these were tremendous fun to watch, with some awesome hands from the likes of Sparcey, offshoot, WeAreOnTV, SIMMY, etc.
So, from September onwards, the £1,000 BIG GAME will be a monthly affair.
However, many, many players suggested a slightly smaller version would hold just as much viewing appeal, & be within the reach of more who would like to play in the Game, so.....
A new version will be introduced - the "Cash £300".
Rules are identical. The MINUMUM & MAXIMUM initial pull up is £300. Any "top-up" can ONLY be to £300. That's it!
There will be a bunch of "Cash £300" Tables created, & these will have the TV Icon on them. They will appear in the Lobby sometime on the Saturday afternoon on the scheduled day of the month when the game is to run. First come, first served. I expect there will be 4 or 5 Tables made available.
When will this start? Well, funny you should ask.....

The monthly schedule for Saturday's on Channel 865 now reads like this......
FIRST Saturday - Cash £300.
SECOND Saturday - regular MasterCash
THIRD Saturday - BIG GAME (£1,000)
FOURTH Saturday - regular MasterCash.
When a FIFTH Saturday occurs in any month, a special Show will be aired. Details later.
So, THIS SATURDAY evening see's the inaugural "Cash £300".
I believe the Presenter is Mr Orford, & "I run good" tikay is in the co-pilot seat, as I've drawn Saturdays (except 11th) in the September roster.
This Saturday, then, 8pm.
It'd be quite interesting, not to say useful, if any of you who plan to play this game on Saturday noted your name on this thread.
I can't speak for Producer Posh Ling, who is not in the office today, but she may want to talk to a few of the players on a Live Phone-In to the Show. It'd be kinda nice if we could big up few of the players in advance, too.
As a matter of interest, of the players on Sky Poker who you "know", who would you most like to see play this Game? It's open to ANYONE, but if you have a fave, I might be able to ring them up & have a word, like.
So, name that player!
Look forward to the £300 game. Shouldnt be a problem to get a decent amount of people playing that.
*edit "condidate"? I seem to have turned into the policeman from 'Allo 'Allo!
As to the idea you mention for th £1,000 BIG GAME, I'll send it upstairs, to see what they think/say.
As you also say, this Saturday's £300 should be quite popular, I think. I hope so, anyway, as it was me who suggested the idea to the Suits, & I in turn had nicked it from all the Forum Feedback after the last BIG GAME in which many players suggested a smaller game would be very popular.
So if it goes wrong, I'll blame you.
You playing it?
Im sure there is scope for a DC table on one of these MC nights if it in anyway possible with the sortware i dunno, im sure he along with you and a few others would play then - now that would be interesting!!
Lolufold, Sparce, Muse12, Offshoot, Brownndog, etc etc
Always a good watch, look forward to it!

Theres been some debate on him but he looks a donk to me.
Sadly for you, but not for me, I'm doing the Show on Saturday, so that's my excuse.
Bring some shillings to DTD, & we'll try & get some DC in.
Now, go away, I have a blog to write.
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Word of warning, Simmy - "offshoot" might be playing. You know, the one who owns you.
