The reason for nearly all the No's is because he wouldn't show up. Back when Sky ran the total player promotion he got quite far, semi-final I think. I can't remember whether it was the show he was supposed to turn up to or an SPT, but he didn't bother, and that was to win a seat into the WSOP main event. If he won't show for that, he won't show for anything.
I like Dohh, so nothing personal, but TSP is supposed to be a great opportunity for some players, Sky shouldn't need to convince someone to go, they should be biting thier hand off for a place.

Correct. As many of us well remember, he was a no-show for the Show, (at the very last minute), & for several Live Events which he was asked to attend. I have peronally asked him many times via PM (several years ago now) to attend Live Events, I think it would be great for us all to meet him, but he has always declined. (I view Smitalos in the same light, I would loved to have met him at the SPT 6 Max, but it was not to be).
I also emphasise that I have no personal issues with him whatsoever. He just does not like to do these things, which is his perfect right, & fair enough. We must respect that.
As such, of course, he is effectively ineligible for consideration for any future Team Sky Poker outing. Shame really.

Bar a disaster, you'll most definitely be seeing me at the DTD grand final in October, Tikay!
In Response to Re: Doh for TSP player? : So which bit is not true...?? Posted by FlashFlush
The bit about dohhh not turning up for live events influencing no votes. The difference is probably people who know dohhhh on line, it was a wind up no vote, not anything malicious. It was a hypothetical vote anyway.

I didn't say it was malicious, I wrote on there I like him and it's nothing personal, but I had a look through the thread and 4 separate people have mentioned he wouldn't show up. People like to do poll's online when they can just anonymously say yes or no when nobody knows it's them, but I bet that's a major factor.

Treated this as a comedy thread to start with, most people who have used the forum for any substantial period of time will have done the same.
But as it's developed quite abit, for any newbies the last 6/7 posts from flashflush onwards pretty much sum it up.
My live poker experience starts and ends at freeplay pub poker leagues, where my biggest cash is a DVD player for finishing 9th at the South Yorkshire regional final.
Unfortunately I left it behind the bar whilst we 'went out' after, and never returned to collect it, think the cost of travelling to Barnsley and back would have been more than the net worth of the machine
I said in my first post on the thread that there are 100's of skypoker players past and present more deserving of a seat than I am, and certainly thousands that would appreciate it more than I would.
I have had friends who have played as part of TSP in the past, and hope that a few of my current sky poker friends get an opportunity in the future. They talk about it like it's the best thing in the World, so I can see what it would mean to a lot of people to get a shot.
Have always supported & will continue to support TSP from afar, and imparticular enjoyed watching Dan & Scotty on the streams of big final tables back in the early days !
I think TSP is a good idea for the site, just not for me.
I couldn't even commit to an online team and have often unregistered £110 mtts that I've sattellited in to in advance, and declined free entries online at my own expense as I couldn't commit to play them.

I think I've done alright in the poll though considering!
And sky poker have made themselves 10 new customers
