The Fogmeister will be playing, but playing could be substituted for pushing given the structure

An example of Sky Poker tour play....

I button raise with  jh   ts   and BB, a 70-ish local lady calls.

flop is   ::    ::         she checks, I c-bet, she calls. hmmmmmm.......

turn comes         she checks, I bet again......she calls again.

river is    kd     she checks and looks sooooooo nervous.  I bet over half her stack......what could she call with unless its a big diamond ?

Well, after the classic comment "I have to call to see what you have", she calls and I insta-muck.....and she shows.........

ts          !!!!!!    what the f.......what  WAS she thinking

She then preceeded to do me twice more before I built back up and then thought for AGES when I shoved my last 2775 on a 9-high flop with J-J......then said "Go on.....I call........IF YOU ARE BEATING QUEENS YOU ARE AHEAD !!!!!"

300 mile round trip for 90 mins poker and £32 for a room to keep my bag in for 3 hours as I left at 5pm for home.

I assure you this is NOT an unusual scenario  on the sky tour.

[ForthThistle]

Only the best players cash on the Sky Poker Tour....

[BOINGBLITZ]

yes......we just didnt do so this time

[TightEnd]

Good to see you all there


The structure has to be set to finish a 150 runner competition in 10-12 hours.


The Grand Final (you know where you need to go to search out how to get in it) will be a two day event with a DTD Deepstack structure, so that"ll be nice for you all.

[TightEnd]

Most likely yes, from the start of qualifying

I will confirm when I know
