I would love the privelage of you playing in this afternoon,s £2.20 @2.20 DEEPSTACK, if you could spare the time.
I have watched you play and i have the upmost respect for your poker skills.
A player of your calibre would be a pleasure to play against.
In reply to your post saying you would rather watch paint dry, i used to be a painter and decorator and i can promise you the£2.20 @2.20 DEEPSTACK is much more exciting lol.
All thje best.

An instant classic, one of the funniest threads in a very long time.

Craigcu12 for TOTP!
I would also like to nominate Devonfish5 - good diary going on and I think it's important to get a mix of old and new contributors.
Macacgirl1 for her advice posted on churchy18s diary thread
Pure class advice and well worth a read by any new players to the game or any poker players in general
great idea the karaoke thread
while the YMCA rendition as IDCU had me pmsl
Oh
and a seat for IDCU because without him none of it would have been possible
So 5 slots left...
Probably pick Mugsy78, seems to be pretty new to the forum but has been contributing a decent amount in the clinic and gave some great advice on DevonFish's diary.
Coxy - live etiquette thread as mentioned before.
TheRock (can't remember the numbers) - Don't think he's been in this before and has started a couple of interesting threads this month: 'when is enough enough' and the one about deal making... even though you can't deal on Sky, still an interesting poker thread.
Why?
Well, why wouldn't I want him on my table?
a big +1 from me great advice from someone that really knows the game
Always interesting posts, and really honest. One of the best contributors on the forum.
but as part of a serious debate, My New Hit-Hero Brian waded in with this....
Tremendous Post & Timing Sir!!!.....

I didn't really want to wade in and post an opinion on this, because I usually keep my mouth shut
...but I'm on my lunch break, so figured I'd chuck in my thoughts.
Yes, it would make perfect sense for all teams to have the same number of participants. Eleven players on a football team; five players on a basketball team; fifteen players in a rugby squad. You don't have an imbalance there because, well... as you have alluded to - correctly, to some degree - it just isn't fair, is it?
And if this was a serious contest, I would agree. One hundred percent. Each team would be capped at (for instance) thirty members; rules would be set; penalties would be implemented for missing games; etc, etc.
But - for me at least - DTD, and more broadly, the function of each team, has never been about that. I'm a relatively new member of The HitSquad. Did I join because I thought they were the best team on Sky, with the biggest clout? No (sorry Dave!). Did I join because I thought they could help advance my game further than any other? No again. I joined because there was a core group of guys and girls that seemed to enjoy their games, and I thought it would be good to get to know a few of these people a little better. Forum friendship, if you like.
It would be relatively simple to implement a more rigid form of team-based competition, but the problem you will have is that - and somebody correct me if I'm speaking out of turn here - most forum regulars on Sky would rather a relaxed, no-strings, form of contest than a regimented league/ladder format, as you have alluded to. There are plenty of tournaments on every evening that takes care of serious competition.
This is just a bit of fun on the side, and we all like some of that
