Nice meeting you all and loking forward to seeing you next time around

+1
PS... Don't expect me to get to the final table again.. that was a once off occurrence
all i can say is thank you to everyone i know if i had enough belief in you all we would eventually have a team we can be proud of.
we won guys and i for one want to say how proud i am of you all and thank you for playing such a good game together.
some of you how r still having problems with team players if you can not get through to them then site hold tight till you know you have the nuts then take them out. but lets hope we do not have to do that to much as team play counts as it has showen tonight.
father it has been a plesure working with you and the rest of the guys thank you for all your hard work
team sky have arrived
ps thanks to all sky mod players for there efforts to night and supporting the team
we have a good team here with a good chat too so i'm not going to let players that want to play for themselves get anything.
thanks for the support tonight tooo
Hellasher you are right you did finish 13 and i gave you those points in my official sheet.
Sorry to have it wrong on the thread.
Sorry your team lost. i think!!!
Well done magicalman.
Wild- the trouble is most of these non team players get big stacks and bully all and sundry so it is difficult to get them out and make sure you get points for the team. Also you can bet they then dont reach the points in the end.
God bless all Team Sky team players.
We will prevail in the end
i think lol
well done all some great team work tonight very positive ,
i believe a lot of players are confused as to the reasons to play as a team ,
can father vaig or silver plzz explain in simple terms why its best to do so !
I BELIEVE IF WE CAN CONVINCE OUR TEAM MATES AND EXPLAIN A MASTER STRATEGY TEAM
PLAN WE CAN RULE THE WORLDDDDDDD LOL NO I MEAN WE CAN WIN THIS COMP .
I have been reading the last few threads so may i share my thoughts which may help understand why some dont play as a team.
This is my first real game with Sky. Admittedly I was involved in last month's game but only played in one and was knocked out early.
If the rest are like me i don't think they realise about the ongoing forum or the threads. They also wont realise to insert "Team Sky" in their profile.
Well, by now you will all realise that i have only realised this tonight, in fact, it was when silver mentioned about the sky players left and I asked him how he knew.. (what a nab I am !!)
May I suggest that if you come across a player who is in the team and doesn't have "TEAM SKY" in their profile then assume they just aren't aware. If you bring them up to speed then they will feel welcome and part of the team and, no doubt, perform better.
Only my thoughts but hope they help!
the reason we play as a team in this comp is to get as many players into the top 30 positions . this is so we can achieve max possible points. so as we get the win once we have got the win from there on it is every man for himself ( the wins will always be on my table or the main table of players for everyone to c.) these are usually posted by team members such as vaigrat and wild and mrhappy to name a few.
we need the points first so as we can get through to the next round and we go on to win this comp which we will do then we all benefit from a £500 freeroll just for team players so it is free money all round just for a little cooperation.
i think that's about right.
plz feel free to correct me anybody
Agree Silver8ack.
Dennis too tired to give a masterclass at mo. might be able to sometime but hopefully skipper can do it.
However main idea of Team Poker is to keep as many of your team in the game whereas normal poker you want to build your pot over everything else.
At early tables you look to get rid of opponents and keep your team in, ie dont nick their blinds etc.
If as like tonite 4 team sky and two aways just fold and share aways. You all come out of a table with nice stacks and loads of players have gone. Tonite for instance by the time our table disrupted we were all in top 200. Pity that play messed up by a team mate who if he had joined in we could have folded round for another period and all emerged into opposition territory around the top 90 or so.
In effect the more people from your team who can stay in means you have more chance of winning . Simples really and to a certain extent chip stack size doesnt matter as much.
Moral of story
White BIG STACK feeds lots of SKY piranhas
were father will pray as we kneel down before the holy cup of sky
blessed are thy sky
Well done again for tonite
Agree with your comments and we must keep trying to convert people.
In the main on this thread we are talking about people who dont want to be converted. I say str8 away who is Team sky on the table, welcome them and encourage them to play for the team. Most do and that is why we are improving but others just play for themselves.
I will keep trying to convert and leave Silver8ack to eat the non beleivers. missionary work is so much fun LOL
God bless you my son

Is it no wonder there seems to be a lot of these kind of sour posts going around and I feel really sorry for all the team captains as they have worked tirelessly trying to take on board the importance of team-work and to help each other out when possible.
I posted this here just to let you know you're not the only team suffering within....gl in your next game,... Billy
Thanks for your comments and yes these are the players i am talking about.
I dont mind players who haven't played Team poker before and dont know the nuances of it and who then try their best to take it on board.
The ones I cant stand are the ones who deliberately play against their team and who you know will mess it up when the going gets tough.

It's been gr8 for person's like myself ( ie: play for small stakes etc but never meet anyone in live play only on-line) to get involved with the SKY community....in this respect, it has been v. successful......Billy
My first game for Team Sky, as last time couldn't connect. I enjoyed the game but found it annoying early doors as only 1 or 2 players at my table and not a clue if they were in my team or not.
I would like to apologize to Jonno as I found him on my table early on and we were the only 2! He kept raising me and I eventually pushed with a slightly bigger stack. He had aces I turned a straight. He was Team Sky I didn't know.
I have changed my address to Team Sky, why don't we all do this.
Cheers
Ian
ps Fantastic interaction with other players including opposing players.
HOW IT SHOULD BE
Good Times
Where do you find out which team 1 overall
Cheers Jo
Lets all start thinking ++++++++ we have a good team here now that know how to play together if we see the FEW non team players we try and get them to join the team if not we don't need them.
Just remember it's semi-finals time 2 wins away from the cup all think happy thoughts, and Father will pray for us.
Well said Wild

As you so rightly say people who come to this thread are the ones who want to take this comp seriously , the untrained and great unwashed will never see the light.
I have my confessional open for all sinners and I have already chastised myself for my silly call last night. I had a complete abberation as Scoundrel quite rightly highlights. 50 lashes enjoyed immensely.
God bless all Team Sky players in the week ahead and onward christian soldiers to next tuesday.

HOW TO INSERT "TEAM SKY" INTO YOUR NAME.
Please go to the very first thread on page one and follow the instructions.
I promise you it works but it does take a while to update.
