Sky channel 265.

It launches in two weeks time.

Watched about 5 minutes of it. Highlight was a preview of a poker profile series on the world's top players - first person shown, Greg Raymer! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Greg Raymer isnt one of the top players in the world...

Ah shucks a pokerchannel almost makes me wish I was a Brit.....well naw I like my teeth to much.

have they got the rights to any decent shows - WSOP, WPT, EPT? or is it all going to be cheap and cheerless?

I've not seen any reference to these yet but the preview doesn't look as cheap and tacky as the Game-In-TV stuff which is what I was expecting.

We can wait and hope!

PS: As for Fossilman not being world class, Zaxx, I've no intention of starting that old chestnut again. I have every respect for Greg and his achievements and I'd much rather watch a show on him than on Joe Beevers, who was the second person shown in the clip!

Ive repeatedly said the identical thing...doesnt mean he is world class...
