The same should be appllied to James or any big named player on this site. His remarks do show a lack of respect for the majority of Sky players.
It is, in my opinion, one of the paramount requirements of any of the TSP. We should have a team who will win and lose with humilty and grace, if not then are we putting the correct public face of Sky Poker to the masses.
I firmly believe that if your good enough your actions and deeds should speak for themselves and you should not rise to any bait, just be above it.
James, I am truly sorry your name is/has been used in this way as your results DO speak for themselves, but maybe if you and a few of the "better" players engaged in the forum on a more regular basis, ie giving advice etc, then we may get to know you all a bit better.

I think by doing TSP Sky are obviously looking to attract more players to the site and increase traffic and quality. It would be a huge shame if new players coming to the site take one look at the tournament schedule and just...leave.
I gather from this, that that episode on the bellagio 100/200 table on Saturday morning was a wind up??
only not on this site..........why play in a £20 fast structured tourny when they are winning/losing £200 per hand.
all they need is a bigger buy-in better value tourny....
and as for the point before why should they play in a £20 tourny when they can play in a £200 one
which site is sponsering them
surely they have to play a vast amout of tournements on sky if your in team sky
as there only getting £1000 in tounamententries in 3 months this defeats that point as there going to be entered into £100 our £200 tournys
so for james this is just a bit off fun
sorry james nothing personal and you stats are amazing
if your in blackpool will buy you a drink and listern to everything you say with the hope of learning from you
Its the fact that the 'BETTER and HIGHER STAKES' players can squabble on a forum just as much as the rest of us.
Sky needs to choose if it wants:
a) to be a major site that attracts big players to big tournaments and improve its schedule or
b) to be the "most fun place" to play poker on the internet, and "where poker comes alive"
We have had a PR campaign that it was b) for 2-3 years, and I can only summise that it is shifting towards a) because the TV channel and all the uniqueness that comes with it is not proving profitable
As it has advertised itself as having the best online poker community to differentiate itself from its opposition since its inception, then I don't think anyone should dimiss its community as being worthless either.
We're not going to agree on this anytime this century, so I think we should just agree to disagree and leave it at that :-)
I just would like to put again love team sky poker and all players are brilliant, i personally like [James] comin on here to defend himself which he doesnt need to but shows his confidence. personally if it was me i'd do the same and whether people like it or not most on here are c r ap shoots other then the deepies
TEAM SKY POKER FTW GL ALL
A brief Update.
I mentioned ealier that the entire Tourney Schedule is being revamped to coincide with the introduction of of the DC.
Yesterday, I sat in on a Meet where the new Schedule was pretty much finalised, & if I recall correctly, the new Schedule will commence on Monday November 1st - about 2 weeks hence.
I think it addresses many of the points raised in this thread about the availability of Tournaments which have.....
Better structures.
Bigger Buy-Ins.
Bigger Guarantees.
The new 8pm Main Event schedule is particularly pleasing, imo, as it addresses all of the above.
But better still are some really excellent Tourneys, with superb structures, & at a range of prices that should cover "something for everyone". These will have a lot more "play", which, I think, is what many want to see.
DC? Downloadable Client or Dealers Choice??
The schedule also includes provision for the TSP-ers to be on the Site & playing certain Tourneys. More details on that soon, as first a "player roster" has to be organised, rather similar as we currently do with PTP.
In effect, a sort of Team Sky Poker version of Play The Presenter.
But we need to sort some stuff out with the Team first, so bear with us as to dates & details, but I expect/hope it will commence 1st November.
any chance of some razz tournys?
There will also be a dedicated Team Sky Poker thread, which will probably start in the next 24/48 hours, where anyone can fire poker-based questions at the Team, from "in-play" hand advice, to how they started, & progressed, in poker, that sort of thing.
I just need to sort one or two more little details, & then that will start, almost certainly in the next 2 days. I wrote to them all to propose this, & they enthusiastically said they'd love to do it, so it sits with me to finalise a few bits now, then we can press the start button.
The dates & venues for where the TSP-ers will start playing Live Events between now & the end of December is pretty much sorted now, too.
I've also been asked by Sky Adam to explain in more detail exactly how the whole TSP thing works, & I'll try to grasp that little nettle tomorrow. I think, & hope, that it will explain a lot of things which have hitherto been a little confusing as to the who's, why's, & wherefores.
