In Response to Re: Your ideas for the Sky Poker TV channel.... : Hi PANACHE, Omaha is one of a number of product developments that are planned for introduction at various points over the course of the next twelve months.  We'll keep everyone at Sky Poker updated on those developments; and probably enlist some of you to help, as we approach testing. Cheers, Des.

Just a small point, sometime I want the chat box on but say one player will be annoying me swearing or whatever.  But I want to see whats being said by everyone else I think an ignore chat button would be really good for the individual.  I know what your thinking why just not turn chat off but like I say I may wish to read what the rest of the other players are saying for tells or to size up their ego for later.

Hi to everyone My question is why don't you make the channel free to all non subscribers of sky i.e. FreeSat etc ? I expect I know the answer already is that you want to encourage people to subscribe to Sky, but surely the poker site would benefit more if people like myself didn't have to subscribe. P.S. other than that I think this is the most fairest site and most playable about P.P.S. Hmmm I didn't even get a reply to a simple question, begs a question if this just a front to seem if they are listening to us when in reality its more of a worthless bit of PA????? We'll see, watch this space I think

I think the issue with a wider distribution is more to do with the channel being a Gambling Channel.  I would be surprised if anyone is subscribing to Sky solely to see the Poker Channel.

C-MON sky,answer my question plz.is there any chance of qualifiers for EPT tourneys on sky?
Posted by fitzer14

As answered earlier in the thread, large demand isn't there at the moment as witnessed by the WSOP satellites.  It's certainly an area Sky Poker would like to develop though, and something we'll look at carefully in autumn.

A couple of ideas - show sit and go's and double money sng's in a hour show (as is done with cash currently).  Tactics and skills could then be discussed and bubble play analysed as well as the chance to watch the table dynamics throughout.  Also, it would be great to have a large Sunday tourney - maybe starting a lot earlier (like the other poker sites Sunday mtt's) with the final 3 hours being shown throughout / or instead of the Sunday programme.

Hi Phil.  The sit n go and double your money show ideas are being planned so that will be going ahead on the channel shortly.  We should get some clear strategy ideas from the analysts as to how to beat those formats.  The format of Sunday evening's Open show is also under review, and we'll advise how that develops in the next few weeks.

There is functionality in development to allow players to ignore someone's chat.

Agreed. Generally I would say Sky Poker should run satelittes to GUKPT and any other event that IN-POKER cover. Then they can also film the fortunes of their qualifiers at these events for the show

sattelites for  EPT tour wood be nice

20K starting stack and whatever blind levels required based on entrants
Buy in £100 with satellites, shown over 2 evenings on Sky so 6 hours TV
Once a year or monthly event

In Response to Re: Your ideas for the Sky Poker TV channel.... : Hi Topboy, I cannot answer for Sky Poker, though I'd asume that the issue of free access to non Sky Subscribers is outwith Sky Poker's control. But Free Acesss IS available - the Channel is Streamed on the Internet, just go to www.skypoker.com , & click "WATCH SKY POKER TV". Have a good weekend.

   This is in my opinion the best idea !!!!       

 Ive been to two EPT's via online poker satellite's //Barcelona (Spain)  and Baden (Austria)

 Both were  fantastic trips and great poker memories, well when you get over the bad beats that is !! 



SKY  take note these are brilliant tournaments well worth the trip  !!

Regarding new programmes-
In a recently aired interview with James Hartigan, Paul "Action" Jackson spoke about "The Poker Godfather" programme he used to do.
If I heard correctly he said he would love to do this again and even offers to give his fee to charity.
Please take him up on his offer as this was a great programme which would offer entertainment and a terrific learning opportunity from one of the best players in the country.

Yours faithfully, Paul Jacksons agent (possibly)

What about the chat box for the table showing on tv been on view
so we can enjoy the good natured banter in the sky poker community
if the game was played and by you could edit any moron with bad lingo

     how about having   a 8 seat tourney and have it every 4 weeks

   you could start off with a deep stack then following month could be bounty hunter

   i reckon it would be great fun to watch and would be competion between the presenters and where possible get the 8 into the studio and do it as a live 8 seater

    the format i was thinking of was

   the winner of the league final goes through each week    =  4

   the presenter with most points of that week goes through = 4

   you could call it

      THE MONTHLY ALLSTARS EVENT  or have a competition to name it

   cheers

How about putting the channel on 'Freeview'? Im sure this would attract  many more players to the site, got to be more attractive than playing roulette than on those channels there sems to be quite a few of.

Obviously I dont know the cost to sky of doing this or even whether it is possible, would hate to see commercials on channell 865 though.

phlwbb29

wOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU FOLLOW A SINGLE PLAYER (ON TV) FOR A NUMBER OF HANDS BUT ONLY SEEING WHAT THE PLAYER SEES- HIS/HER CARDS PLUS THE COMMUNITY CARDS.   WOULD BE QUITE INTERESTING TO HEAR AN ANALYSIS AND MAYBE SUBSEQUENT REVELATION OF THE OTHER HANDS.
MIGHT PUT YOU ON THE SPOT BUT YOU WOULD HAVE THE SATISFACTION OF KNOWING THAT YOU'D EARNT YOUR MONEY.

In Response to Your ideas for the Sky Poker TV channel....:

I usually enjoy watching channel 865 when they are covering tournaments like the Saturday night Open.

However, last night (8th Aug) I thought the chit-chat surrounding the photo of 2 male presenters supposedly kissing each other was juvenile and crude.

I watch the channel in the hope of having my hands featured. As it was, we hardly saw any hands because the presenters were so pre-occupied with the stupid caption competition.

In the end I made 9th in the tournament, and would have liked to see some of the 2nd final table. As it was all I got was embarassing innuendo about the sexuality of the Sky staff.

By all means make the chatter light-hearted, but please show more hands hands and lose the other stuff.

Anyone else see the show and have a similar opinion?

LukeFuller

Deep Stack Bounty Hunter? lol

Occultus

Can I make a small suggestion for the live shows, a number of times the presenters and experts comment that it makes it easier to call plays as they can see all the cards.  If that is the case perhaps then with one or two hands a show they should be challenged to commentate on a hand where they can only see one players cards, obviously a player involved to the end of the hand, this should test the experts and maybe give us new guys a insight or two.

Thanks for the opportunity to input.

Great idea. I've seen that on other live coverage - they'll do a 'sweat with player' feature where you only see player's cards.

Sorry if this has been said before...

I would love it if they auto-messaged (e-mail too optional) all the people who's hands are shown on the channel (informing about repeats), whether it be on a live show, a hand request, etc. I don't think it would be too much hard work as they have the player list and the same message would be sent to them all. It'd just be a case of selecting the players.

The main thing which would make me play here more is because of the channel. I'd hate to miss a hand I played in, even if I folded 7-2. Or because I watched the show for the first hour I was in, but missed it when they did a time jump later on.

I don't think it would lower viewers, and even if it did a little I think it would be outweighed by people playing more.
