We have a new Presenter this evening, too, so I hope you will give her a typically warm Sky Poker Community welcome.
Her name is Jules Sowa, & she has done loads of TV work before, but a 5 hour Live Show to a poker audience is quite daunting, so please post her some "good luck" Messages on this thread, via e-Mail to skyopen@bskyb.com or via Twitter, to "Sky_Poker".
So, with the new kid on the block, & the old fella, quite a contrast tonight. Jules runs bad, eh?
Don't forget, as part of our 6th Birthday Celebrations, if you win the Mini-Open tonight, you will win a Mini i-Pad!
There will be four Free Entries on offer, too, to Tuesday's Mini-Open, which will also have a Mini-i-Pad for the winner.
The best 4 e-mails, or Posts on this thread, will win one of those 4 entries.
It can be about anything you want, but tonight's poker-theme is......
Why do you play on Sky Poker? What is it about Sky Poker that makeds you prefer to play here rather than elsewhere?
The Community? The cash games? The TV Channel? The regular Promotions? The Sky Poker Jackpot? Rich Orford's fashion sense? Something else?
Send, or post on this thread, your answers, with the reason why you chose it.
What time does it start?
1. The Community esp the Monday night DTD's.
2. Its in good old British Pounds , Shillings and Pence !
Wishing good luck to Jules on her debut.

Tikay, behave.
Some guidelines to assist you on your first show...
dont let tikay make you fall asleep as he makes me fall asleep most times lol
im in the free roll biggie tonight hope i do well
oh and what tikay asked about what makes me come back to sky poker
every thing he said funnily enough and the fact that because it aint a massive site i know how most people play. loads of fish on the site too lol
ask tikay what a fish is jules as i bet hes had lots of em over the years
gl on the show jules run gd
Welcome to the site/channel/family Jules, I'm sure you'll fit in straight away. Don't worry if you don't know much about poker, Orford seems to get by fine
I'm also in the 5k Freeroll tonight so will try to get a few interesting hands sent in.
As for why I still play on Sky, plain and simple it's down to the great community we have. Playing poker online can be a pretty lonely thing when you have no-one to talk to about it. I'd have probably thrown the towel in years ago if there wasn't such a great community which really does help make it fun even when you lose. The great advice in the clinic, the diaries where people are (generally) so open and honest about their progress, the camaraderie when someone is doing well in a tournament, whether it be live or online, all make for a great community feeling.

The reasons I'm with Sky Poker(joined about 3 years ago!
!. The great welcome you are given, when a newbie!
2.The community atmosphere!
3.The ability to get in touch with those that present the shows,and those behind the scenes(at SPTs)
4.The great man you are presenting the show with tonight! Always has a smile for you and very complimenting! (and even told me when I first met him"You don't look 65.and I am 75.That made my day!)
If you had a online Poker alias what would it be?
Something like Tikays? (Tikay10) (his initials and year of birth)
Have a great show both

Welcome Jules .
The reason i joined SKY POKER is by watching the tv program is how i learnt how 2 play poker, and i am still learning.
Plus the friendly banter of most players.
Plus English money.
And last but not least the hot presenters, Anna,Sarah and now Jules.
All the best
