Mentors

bandini

'tis my newly invented programme for Sky Poker.

Basically you take a losing player (most of us) and televise a TSP player mentoring him for a month.

Sky wins : It inspires new players to believe they can make it.

The losing (chosen) player wins : He/she will improve tenfold.

TSP player wins : Kudos for his/her altruicity and shows off how good he/she is.

No losers.

I want payed for this idea.

Cheers.

Interesting idea, seems like a lot of work for the mentor though! I guess TV time would be reward enough though.

this.  maybe some kind of challenege system...all train up the apprenctices...they then have a week of playing all kinds of formats....the winning mentor/apprentice both get a free GUKPT.

that would just be hollywood. although in true hollywood fassion we'd get AA v KK (mentor) and the apprentice would muck his AA for the mentor to win - after its gone all in on the river.

you underate yourself m8 your results speak for you,also i would love to get mentored from someone in team sky to try improve my game because I know i have a lot of leaks in my game and if sky could arrange this i think personally they would get a lot of interest online and people would also tune in to tv when its on like total player

I am pretty sure I am beyond help. To borrow from Strictly come dancing as a example I would be the John Sargent of any group! Or on X-Factor Wagner or Jedward.

Very good idea though.

Great idea.

Also great marketing advertisment for Sky.
