SkyPoker.com is a new poker room from BSkyB Ltd. It offers competitive promotions, software and support as well as unique features that separate it from the rest. Sky Poker is run by SkyBet; you can use your account to access the poker, SkyBet and SkyBet Vegas services. Your account can be used on the internet, TV, telephone and WAP (Sky Poker only on internet and TV). Sky Poker offer Texas Hold’em in ‘no-limit’, ‘pot-limit’ and ‘fixed-limit’ variants. You can play multi-table tournaments, sit-and-go tournaments or simple cash games. It is a relatively small poker site hosting mainly UK players, there are on average a thousand people connected at any one time.

One of the great things about Sky Poker is The Open. This is a multi-table tournament running every night for a buy-in of £10. The Open is live on Sky channel 846 and starts at 9pm. This tournament gives you a unique proposition; you get the chance to become an instant TV-star by seeing your hands replayed in the studio, appearing in the leader boards and see your details brought to life with the statistical and graphical player profiles.

Sky Soccer AM presenter Helen Chamberlain is one of the presenters and is supported by different poker analysts who offer detailed and intelligent insights into The Open’s tournament play. If you don’t have Sky then you can watch all the action on the website. It’s a real buzz seeing yourself on the television and having people analyze your play in certain situations. There are three spot prizes of £25 given out by the presenter for players that have done something different, either made a great bluff an amazing fold or sometimes for a player who has been beaten purely by chance. Each night in the studio are two guests of Sky who play in the tournament, these people are usually poker pros or celebrities players. Once the guests are knocked out of the tournament they are placed into sit-and-go tournaments which you can buy into as well. Once a week The Open makes way for a tournament called Velocity, this carries a slightly smaller prize pool than The Open but runs twice-as-fast.

Also on channel 846 is a new interactive poker show called The Club, presented by Dan Lobb of Sky Sports News and Matt Broughton the editor of Flush magazine. The Club is a one hour program that takes you through all the action from what’s been happening on Sky Poker. Also discussed is the latest news from the world of poker. You can contact the show and ask questions about poker as well as asking advice for a certain hand that you may have encountered that week, simply note down the hand number and you could receive professional advice or consolation from the guests of the show.

These are the main reasons to play Sky Poker, if you have always wanted the chance to play on TV then here it is!
