It's very well publicised who is in Team Sky Poker, there are numerous threads dedicated to Team Sky Poker etc. You don't have to be a pro to be a member of Team Sky Poker, you just have to finish top 6 in a 90 runner tournament so why should they be identified as something special?
If the link works above you will see Gliterbabe is no secret on Sky Poker.
Try LOLUFOLD next time, he's really bad!

If you wanted to find out about who is who in Team Sky Poker, all the info is here,
For example, if you play for your local pubs Sunday league footie team there's absolutely no way you're ever going to end up playing a match against a Premier League player. If you enjoy playing recreational chess there's no way you're ever going to get a match a grandmaster. But in poker, especially online poker, that really can happen.
One of my greatest poker experiences was winning a seat worth $320 in a tournament with a big guarantee on another site. I was fortunate enough to play for nearly 3 hours with some well know online stars, many of whom I've seen on TV, and instructors from the worlds top online training sites. In what other game or sport might that happen?
Wowzer.....
When we play poker, Live OR Online, we have no ideas, or control, who shares the table with us, & nobody is forced to say who they are. That's just how poker is, & always has been.
If you play on Sky Poker, you might share a Table with a recreational player, a Team Sky Poker Member, a TV Presenter, an EPT winner, or a GUKPT winner. Sky Poker regulars include all of those people. I can, for example, think of several EPT winners who play on Sky Poker.
If you play £1 £2 Omaha here, it's "very probable" that the player knows what he is doing.
It's just how poker works, Jake. Everyone in Online poker uses an alias, & nobody is forced to declare their ability or past record.
I would however like to commend you on the use of 'Disgusted' as your valediction (The bit in a letter just before your signature).
The last time I saw that used to such strong effect was in 1986 in an episode of 'Points Of View'. That was relating to Bobby Ewing coming back from the dead in Dallas but I see a similarity in the upset it must of caused and understand the need for its use.

I must add for the purpose of the post that I am a Professional Wind Up Merchant.
when you sit at a 200PLO HU table who do you really expect to be up against ?
there are a lot of players who play on here for a living do you think they should all be outted just so you can be reminded never to sit in with one of them that would be stupid you made the mistake of sitting in with a good professional poker player and paid for it, next time you decide to do it you should possibly take a look at who you are up against maybe you won't make the same mistake........
It can get expensive and dangerous, and nits like Norbit win all my monies
gliterbabe is one of many pro's on here.
you were very lucky though because he is a truly terrible plo player and i think you should offer to play him again, you will stack him many times(honest)

I am also a member of Team Sky Poker.
I'm sure you will have realised how bad I am at PLO by now but will me being a TSP member stop you playing me too
Check out how many other tables they are playing and at what level.
Watch them play for a while and take notes.
Getting to know players at this level is also important, lets face it, we don't want to jump straight in and find out we are up against Daniel Negreanu now do we? (Never Heard of him either?) Let me remind you Homework.
Being part of TSP (Team Sky Poker) does'nt mean you work for Sky Poker, it just means that you are proficient in playing poker and you have accumulated enough poker points to be able to qualify for TSP as part of the team and play at the Sky Poker Live Events.
There are many players on Sky Poker who have the same or even greater ability as the player you have mentioned but do not wish to take part in the TSP promotion, but believe me, they are just as capable of taking your money as any one of the TSP players are.
Again - Its always best to do a little homework and know your opposition.
I can assure you that there is nothing underhand happening here and you were just very unlucky and a little naive to sit next to a player you yourself have little or no knowledge of, but one who is very formidable and well known to the Sky Poker Community.
I wish you the very best of luck at the tables.
