In Response to Re: GD luck SolarCarro:

A few names have been highlighed there. Dave Thompson is "Solar Carro". You will know of Micky Wernick & Marc Goodwin. Jon Young is the chap from WPT Magazine who often appears on Channel 865. "Richard Milne", & "Richard Milner" are both very good players, so should not be confused with "Richard Milner", Head of Poker here at Sky Poker.

Boom 50% off Tikays wardrobe budget ;o)

If there are any more Sky Poker players on that list, make yourself known, so we can cheer you on!

For now, Dave Thompson is the guy who we will be railing on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure a good few more Sky Poker regulars will be playing on Day 1b & Day 1c, too,  including Scotty77, Thewy, Jamie Hurst, Nick Pryce, &, I assume, many others.

Tikay.....

'The overnight chip counts - reproduced from elsewhere WITH PERMISSION, are as follows.....'

That is obv a dig at me! I apologise as I did not realise. I was just trying to keep this forum up to date as there was nothing official going on here.

I shall personnelly send the author an apology now. 

Tikay10

Alan,

100%, it was NOT a dig at you. I had not even seen your previous Post.

I put "WITH PERMISSION" for a variety of reasons, which include..... 

1) This tournament will generate a lot of noise and interest between now & Monday, hopefully with several Sky Poker players doing well. I hope that we get a lot of positive vibes on here about it.

2) As you & I & everyone else knows, when we do a Team Sky Poker "live" outing, & it is updated on other Forums, we do not allow links to those other Forums, so everyone on the thread starts saying "PM me the link" etc. I was trying to anticipate that, & generally ask Sky Poker players NOT to C & P without permission. It was a subtle hint aimed at all - not you. I had not seen your Post.

3) It is doubly awkward for me, because, as you know, I wear lots of hats in poker, including owning 25% of the site in question, & having total responsibilty for that Forum. Accordingly, I have to wear my sleeves rolled up here all the time, sort of "look, no spam, nothing up my sleeve", & I NEVER mention the name of the site here. Ever. Nor do I try to cross-promote in that direction.

Thats it, no more, no less. It was not aimed at you.

I also have your PM next door, you'll pardon me if I don't reply to that, hopefully this reply suffices.

All of us at Sky Poker are desperately trying to make this Forum a better, & more cheerful place. We hope others will buy into this mindset, & keep this place somewhere we all enjoy using.

So, back on topic, good luck to all the Sky Poker players playing Day 1b, today.

Yorkie74

Again huge congrats to Dave for making day 2!!!!!

Good Luck to all sky poker players playing today.  Notice Jamie Hurst table 43 seat 1.  He has bash mahmood on his table who did very well at the 6 max tourney I know Dave came across him and said he was very aggro

Carlo playing today too table 52 seat 3

Robert Shields - didnt he win an spt?  or final table?  hes on table 56 seat 2 - may have him mixed up though?

Ian Bruce (lebruce) table 73 seat 5

Jamie Burland playing today too table 15 seat 1

Im sure I will have missed people but a quick scan through and these were the ones i recognised.

Good luck all

Tikay10

Thanks Sian.

I know "Bash" very well, been playing "Dealers Choice" & "Omaha" cash games with him in various licensed, Venues, & some "private games" Nottingham since around 2002. He's a smashing lad, but very tricky, able to make big calls, & his game-style is to put pressure on others. Warn Dave to tread warily with him!

In Response to Re: GD luck SolarCarro:

Into last level of day with 75k chips He is made up with all the support from everyone. Unfortunately I am not able to be there to rail him in person ( He has played solidly all day and I for one am very proud of him

gl solar

Yorkie74

Dave's hopin Liv Boree but i told him to keep dreaming....lol

Thanks Tikay Dave knows to tread carefully with Bash.  He wont have to worry if Bash busts out today )

MADMOO

Good luck to all sky players playing today.
Well done Dave making day 2 and good luck.

SolarCarro

Many thanks for all the kind words on here.

The Sky Poker rail is the best and along with all the Twitter and Facebook messages keep me sane

Had a really great day, the drama hand was described on here, AA v 44 four spades saving me

played with Pieter de Korver all day and even ran him to his hotel afterwards, discussed a  badly played QQ hand with him, some really good advice

Chatted with Reds, he was running well but i didnt see him later, not sure if he made day2

So back on Saturday with 75000 chips, one time as they say

Good luck to LeBruce, Hursty and all SP players today and Don, Ryan 

MP33

Gl to u and the rest of the Sky players

Whats the best way of keeping updated with these events - anyone got any links?

That's an awesome start in star studded field, best of luck for Day 2.

Tikay10

558, or roughly so, started Day 1b, of which 120 survived. (+ the 100 who survived from Day 1a).

Day 1c is today, Friday, when 600 nearly are expected to play.

Day 2 will be tomorrow, Saturday, when all survivors - expected to be around 360 or so - will re-convene.

Those enboldened names.....

Liam Batey is the BMX Champion chappie, who played so well in the SPT Grand Final. He is a mate of Thewy. I believe there is an 865 interview with him somewhere.

Alex Martin has appeared on Ch 865 a few times, though not for a while now. Total, total, utter degen. Greatest player ever ever ever but I've never known him to have any money, he's always busto, & staked. A lovely lovely chap in fact, with a great knowledge of nature, outdoor pursuits, hunting, shooting, etc. A good friend of many years standing. "Bit laggy".....

Ralph Shalson. Bit selfish of me to name-check him, but he's been a close pal ever since I began playing poker, & he entertains me for dinner every Xmas Day. The point about Ralph, however (usual forum name elsewhere = "Karabiner"), is that he is 93 years old. Oh, & I have 12.5% of his action.

Nick Hicks. A true gentleman, he is like Thewy, he does not have an enemy on earth, he gets it quietly, wins & loses with dignity, & has never once in his life moaned about a bad beat. Proper bloke. Plays on Sky Poker sometimes as "Samarai", or "Samarai Boy" or something similar. Ran very deep in 2 or 3 of the SPT's we have held at DTD in Nottingham, in fact I think he finalled at least one of them, it may have been the first ever SPT in fact. He also finalled in the GUKPT Walsall last year in which Scotty77 made his spectacular entrance (& exit, sorry Ryan!) to the Live Poker Tourney world.  

Tom McCready. My closest friend in life, Tom is a Gypsy, & is known to many Sky Poker players because of his superb writing, the man writes THE greatest Forum Diary ever ever ever. I had 25% of his action in this, but sold 10% of it to a friend yesterday. Pah. 

Joseph ("Jo") Grech. Featured in the recent GUKPT Walsall in which Jingle Ma got so unlucky. Was very disparaging about Jingle Ma in that K-K v A-9 hand, & thereafter. Takes all sorts. He is actually a good friend of mine, but I was not best pleased with his comments that day, & I told him so. Like he cared.....

Hai Thow Pen. No idea who she or he is, but supposedly (clearly an error) survived with ONE CHIP! Gotta be the ultimate grinding nit, surely?

Surinder Sunar. Famous for how he handled Tony G when Tony was running his mouth in the Paris WPT back in around 2003 or 2004 iirc. Surinder won it, obv. You Tube is your friend.

Lee Cowmeadow. My favourite name from yesterday's survivors. I believe his nickname is "Pat".

I believe Redmond played on 1a, & Carlo & Matthew Chard (LOL-RAISE) yesterday. No luck I'm afraid. I assume that Scotty77, Hursty, NHick Prye & Co all play today.

Funking for them all.

 

JockBMW

I believe "The Don" is playing today.

Run Good Don

Tikay10

I mentioned Liam Batey earlier.

Here is he, doing his day job. Great music, too.

EDIT - I have removed the link, (the one I originally posted, lol!) as the music lyrics were not exactly, umm, "on message". Ahem. Cripes, I had to moderate myself!

Just go to You Tube, & search for "Liam Batey BMX Racing Video"

"Uh, yo......"

Mohican

Top Squaddie Ian 'Macmonster' Senior is playing today so lots of 'run good vibes' him please. Gd luck Mac.

scouse_red

Good Luck Ian and don, and to any other Sky Poker players playing today 

Tikay10

Sadly - just because it woulda been sort of epic fun - the chap reported to have 1 chip actually has, umm, 150,000. Slight miscount, presumably......

Good luck to all the Sky Poker players playing today, and congratulations to those who have already made it through to day 2

Thewy is playing today, too. He was still in at 12.25.
