TEAM HITSQUAD........ Not Team 51
That's how short a rebuy can last :P
from all team51ers
JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW FROM MY A/J V A/A, I HAVE CASHED FROM £1.05 FOR MIN £42.30 NOT VEGAS BUT WILL DO, NO TO TRY AN TAKE IT DOWN. FINGERS XXXXX
good show tonight tikay. neil is superb, reds is a huge asset. and you've surfaced having been thrown in the deep end as the anchor.
Great show guys! Always love to hear Red&Neil's views/take on hands. Well done to TK for swerving some of Neils curve balls! Looking forward to the new improved cash game! ;-))
In my late rush to prep for the Thread & Show ( I had very short notice) I teased the free £52.50 VLV Quarter Final, but omitted to say what it would be awarded for. Whoops, & apologies all round. (cue "SORT IT OUT SKY").
I'll have a think & see how best, & to whom, it should be awarded.
I had intended to make a Post suggesting that the best response to the "Three by Three" Tips we gave on the Show would win it, & I said that several times on the Show. We never got a single response, though. Just shows how much people were listening to me.....
Leave it with me while I go scratch my head & find an acceptable answer.
Sorry, but I had to swerve this question last night.
Neil has made it clear repeatedly that he does not personally stake players any more, & I was a little worried that he may have a little rant if I raised the topic, hence I swerved it.
As to how to get staked, I have to say, that I don't think there is a staking programme that fits this particular bill. To be staked, a proven winning record needs to be demonstrated, & unless you can do that, you won't get staked I'm sorry to say.
I would add - this is my personal view, not that of Sky Poker - but I don't really think that staking for lower-stake MTT's is something that I would encourage. Play the game for fun, enjoy it, & try & make a few bob along the way. Being staked adds all kinds of un-necessary pressure which can only distract from your enjoyment of the game.
For balance, I would add I actually personally invest quite a lot of cash every week in buying Tourney action in players, but almost never in Online Tourneys, & only in "big buck" Live Tourneys. I really have a bit of a Victorian attitude towards playing poker "on tick", to be honest with you. When I "invest", I do so for my own pleasure & satisfaction, as I don't have time to play much poker these days, so I get my Live poker fun vicariously.
Hope that makes sense. Sort of.
Cuaght the last quarter of the poker school section and would like to see the whole lot.
Cheers, Robin
The Poker School 1 hour segment is next due to be tx'd as follows....
Tonight (Wednesday) 10pm
Thursday, 11am
Saturday 4pm
Well worth a watch, for the sheer excellence of analysis & advice from Neil Channing & Redmond Lee. We in Sky Poker are blessed to have 3 Live Shows per week where this sort of stuff is available for free - no other Online Poker cardroom does this, so far as I am aware.
The others 1 hour segments will be shown at various times & days in the coming week. You understand, I'm sure, that the whole idea of the new format is that it is constructed as 4 seperate Shows (8pm-midnight, the 7pm-8pm slot is not re-tx'd) so that they can be repeated as standalones.
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe these Shows are also now finding their way onto Pokertube. Our first piece went up on PokerTube on Monday, & by last night, it had accumulated over 3,000 views - the 2nd highest in that 24 hour period.
On the topic of great guest analysts... is there any sign of Paul Jackson making another appearance?
Anna, bad back, pfft, I think she owes him a back rub* for stepping in with such short notice.
Last Sunday's and Tuesday's analysis of "why" to do things have been brilliant in my opinion.
*not legally binding.
??
But Defo Correct, ty Simon!!
Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
All the shows/ guest etc are there
Thanks
Time to fess up......
That reference to Hitman Harvey being a Member of Team 51.
I think the Team ethic here is fantastic, but I like to generate a little bit of debate sometimes, just for a bit of craic.
So I'll often "mix up" what Team various guys belong to.
I feel really bad now, for having whooshed so many. Sorry.
Hitman Harvey is, of course, NOT a Member of Team 51, he is part of TKP.
PS - Thank you for the nice comments about my Presenting "skills", which veered, I suggest, more towards kind, than truthful. But it's nice to have a little SBUMA sometimes.
