Team Sky Poker News, & stuff.
Afternoon.
I want to try & keep everyone updated as to what's happening in Team Sky Poker, which, for this Thread, & to save my typing finger (note, singular), will henceforth be known as TSP.
It's all coming together now.
I wrote to them all last week, & needed them to agree to a few things, then I had to await their replies, all of which subsequently arrived.
Then I had a Telecon yesterday with Des, Rich Milner, Adam, & Attila, & we agreed some more stuff. Based upon that, today, I sent them all a note confirming a few more bits & pieces.
Here's the gist of where we are so far.
SPT Blackpool.
ALL FIVE will play the Blackpool SPT, on Saturday October 30th, & we'll be sending, as usual, a film crew to the SPT.
Blackpool GUKPT.
Dan, James, Reds, & Wayne, will play the £1,070 GUKPT at Blackpool on November 12, 13, & we hope, 14. The GUKPT's have two opening days, Thursday & Friday, & our Lads will all play Day 1B, which is the Friday. LML will swerve that one, more news on LML's schedule shortly, but LML will be running at her TSP schedule from a slightly different angle, & will likely play 2 or 3 smaller Events in the £300 to £500 range. Details soon.
I have a hope, & a hunch, that a few of the Sky Poker Regulars might come up for this, some to play, some to Rail. The more the merrier, we want the Circuit to know we have arrived!
Online Cash.
Effective November 1st, at least ONE of the TSP Crew will play an hour of cash every evening at 9pm, (Monday to Friday incl), probably on the 25p-50p Tables. This will include LML, who will incorporate her PTP & TSP Evenings into one.
Online Tourneys.
A new Tourney will be introduced from November 1st, Monday to Friday, called (something like) "The TSP Classic". It will be a £10 + £1 buy-in, standard NLHE, with, IIRC, a 10 minute clock. I believe it will carry a £2,000 Guarantee. Each night, as per the Cash Session, one of the TSP-ers will play this. Who will play what nights? Attila is sorting that, & we'll let you know.
"Ask Team Sky Poker" Thread.
This will go live tonight or tomorrow. Should be pretty good, if it's approached in the right spirit. All the Team have agreed to contribute, by taking questions.
TSP TV Stuff, Channel 865
Ling is currently putting together some ideas to get the guys in the Studio, (1 at a time), to help with analysis, maybe do some "TSP Classic" analysis from earlier in the week, MasterCash analysis, & maybe some Poker School & Poker Clinic stuff. All of the TV stuff is unconfirmed at the mo, Ling needs to develop her ideas, then we need to agree it with the Team, da de da, but you get the drift of it. Hopefully, this will start from some time in November. 2010.
I think that's everything, though I'm sure I've forgotten some stuff. I just can't recall what it is, though.
Any questions, fire away, but this is NOT the "Ask Team Sky Poker" Thread, I'll be setting that up shortly.

Oh, not sure if you have seen this - it's a 6 minute Vid of TSP when we done the photoshoot jobbie.
It is HERE
Can't make Blackpool (either) but will be supporting the TSP guys from home.
it's looking good
Although in regards to the TSP players playing 1 hour of cash, is there any chance that it could be at a random nl as it would be nice for those with a smaller BR to play against them?
thank tikay sounds amazing and fun like the new tourny and a chance to chat with the guys
I'm sure as would the rest of team be happy to play the limits that suit you...I for one will be quite happy to play a mixture of limits on my night!!!
GB
this is excellent guys wd tk ,
wd tsp .
Both Wayne & James have already said "no problemo". Good stuff.
There are no sulky Rooneys in my Team.
Well played guys, very sporting of you.
The "Ask Team Sky Poker" Thread is now up & running, & it's going nicely so far.
It can be found HERE
Also can we take on the Manager as well at nl Holdem cash
Would take on any of em at HU for Rolls tbh, dan would be the toughest challenger tbf
You would be tough to now actually gramps, since the end of your diet your waistline has increased therefore it would bean interesting HU battle but providing the rolls have the correct fillings in them I don't really rate your chances tbh
Seriously, well done lads (as if there was ever a doubt) to playing all stakes and levels. Will be good to see ur analysis on how much it has changed from when u played there regularly when starting out.
Thanks for the reply Gliterbabe, i look forward to this happening.
And GL in all your events TSP players
