Great job with the cast of characters - really good mix, imo.
ALL the players who took part, however, do have current Sky Poker Accounts.
Got it set to record in the EPG.
Just picking up a few questions.....
The Show airs every Tuesday on Sky Sports, 10pm, with repeats to follow. There are 6 Episodes.
The normal "Live" Show on Channel 861 each Tuesday will not be affected by it, it will run as normal.
The Shows will start to be be shown On Channel 861 every Monday (with repeats, no doubt) starting Monday 18th February.
I don't fully understand the question, buy yes, SB&G has a "common wallet", so an account with any of Bet, Vegas, Bingo & Poker carries across all 4 sites to the best of my knowledge.
Its not as if we don't contribute to the very wealthy Sky coffers already. Why not let registered players on the site wthch through a site link ? Go on you know it makes sense to keep us happy. After all we are loyal to you lot.
Response to Coming Soon on Sky Sports TV...:
It does not quite work like that. Sky Sports commissioned the Series with us, & they have first dibs on transmission times. They are in business to attract viewers, so they would not allow it to be shown on another Channel before they have tx'd it, & they hold the Rights.
I take your point precisely, but it is just not possible.
It is also worth noting that the purpose of the Series is to demonstrate to a wider audience - typically NOT poker-savvy - that poker is a fun game, to be enjoyed. In that respect, it is possible that the "poker serious" may not much enjoy the fact that everyone in the game is having the craic, laughing & joking. Currently, the image of much TV poker on terrestial channels is that the game is deadly serious. We are hoping that this Series will convince many neutrals, & those a little disillusioned with all the long faces, to begin playing poker, or even return to the game.
I'm sorry it cannot be on 861 sooner, but it is just not possible.
I remember in a previous thread a couple of months back citing some negatives including the UK Cash game dropping off the map. Now obviously it is clear they were flying the next generation version of this under the radar so I apologise for that comment, I was obviously wrong.
Going to be a great show.
Of course my intrigue has been somewhat increased by an earlier post in this very thread with someone maybe letting slip that one of the biggest mysteries in the history of SkyPoker may well be narrowed down in this series (a mystery I personally could have solved last year but decided to be a little selfish and missed the opportunity). Yup, think that's cryptic enough, will be watching
Response to Re: Coming Soon on Sky Sports TV...:
I think the approach Sky are taking is fine, in that SkyPoker viewers are still getting the programmes, just with a very short delay.
Watched it late last night on sky plus
Really dissapointed with show, I thought first series was much better, Turned it off after 20 minutes.
I've seen your alias on Master cash OOdles of times it would be good to see how you'd get on in the format of the TV programme!
