James & Jen - back again, with special guest star Dana Immanuel! (***SUNDAY'S OFFICIAL LIVE SHOW

They say "respect your elders," so I'm drafting three of Sky Poker's silver foxes*...

andrew1947
EBBERDON
tikay

All three have unconventional playing styles which befuddle their opponents. All three have made numerous deep runs in MTTs (both live and on-line).



* tikay would be a silver fox if he didn't bleach his hair; Andrew would be a silver fox if he actually had hair! :)

    Yes, our love for poker cannot keep us away from channel 861 for more than two days! We return on Sunday night with the following:


    7pm - Live coverage of Sunday's £1k Freeroll (register HERE)
    8pm - Analyse My Play (Jen critiques some of our guest's hands)
    9pm - Now on Sky Poker (live action from the Master Cash tables)
    10pm - Live coverage of this week's SPT London Semi (register HERE)
    11pm - Highlights from the £10k Primo (register HERE)


    UPDATE: We'll be joined on the sofa (from 8pm) by singer/songwriter/poker player/blogger Dana Immanuel.




    Questions for Dana should be submitted via the usual channels.

    Now, I'm sure many of you have come across the Fantasy Poker game on Facebook, which has seen pro players and casual fans challenging each other, and "drafting" teams for major tournaments.

    So, a simple question...


    Which three players would you have in your fantasy team for SPT London - and why?


    You can see HERE who's already bought in/qualified. You can also assume that most of the Sky Poker analysts (tikay, Jen, Redmond, Ryan, Stuart, Julian, Carlo) will be playing. Alternatively, why not take a risk and pick players who MIGHT be there? For example, Sky regs like TommyD and MacMonster, or pros like Channing and Razavi.

    As far as competitions go, we've got four seats in Tuesday's Mini Open to give away. And I have an entertaining quiz planned. Details will be revealed on the live show.

    I've tried to combine this weeks subject with one of James' previous challenges of writing a Limerick, here goes....

    1. CTBN
    Och aye the noo, its Colin from Ayr
    Ya cannae understand him but he's got a mean stare
    He likes a wee joke
    He goes out for a smoke
    But with position and chips he's a nightmare

    2. Jamielou
    From t'Rochdale comes Jamielou Barratt
    She's a jewel and no doubt she's 9 carat
    She'll 3-bet for fun
    Till all your chips she has won
    And at Stratford she'll win or I'll eatmyhat

    3. phil12uk
    A young lad called Phil is the 'luckbox'
    Takes wins in his stride with the bad knocks
    At the next SPT
    He'll win it you'll see
    Cos at poker young Phil is a sly fox

    Have a great show James and Jen.

    James, can I get you to plug the Poker Clinic on the show? It's got a bit quiet in there lately and not many new players are posting hands.

    Give it a big up, shout out or holla... whatever the kids are saying these days.

    Ta for that.

    Can i request a hand for Analyse my play please

    I havent really played alot of this level, although this hand last night is something I've seen alot at lower levels. 

    Would like thoughts of my raise on the flop (given i raise K's and bluffs here is it ok to raise my hand) and then my stationing the rest of the hand. V this kind of action how should i treat it in future. I find myself often giving away blinds in these kind of spots. 

    #628461064 from mastercash 4 in the early hours of this morning.

    Jen Mason
    Anna Fowler
    Sarah Champion.

    Why?......because you used the word 'fantasy' in the question. That is all.

But he was away for the 1st fives hands then joined and shoved every hand once joined so had too call really ... GUTTED yes but i dont expect anything less in freerolls and it part of poker

    Thomas the Tank Engine
    The Fat Controller
    & Tikay

    - Obviously we'd be on the fast track to the final table!
    - No danger of getting our lines crossed!
    - Any bridges we'd have to cross, Tikay's been there, seen it, done it and put people to sleep talking about them!
    - So, we'd be taking the express train to the money!
    Where do we sign up? lol

    Noel "TommyD" Edmonds - noel edmonds' relentless quest to appear on tv every day is so tommyd


    Julian "JAEGERBOMB" Assange - i won the jeagerbomb fantasy league last year and still await receipt of the first prize (entry into the spt final) jaegerbomb much like julian assange is in hiding.

    Hi guys. Just wanted to know if you would be able to review one of my hands from tonight’s master cash during your master cash hour please?

    Was on Master Cash 2: #628716247 (20:18 03/03/2013)

    Should I slow down with the appearance of the Ace. My plan was to bet the streets small to keep the pot down as I thought I could be bluffed off the hand if I checked at any point. This is an area I struggle a lot with.

    Great show. Thank you

    Danny

    you saw so many shoves being done from villians on a free roll well i have just had a bad beat on the mini where i shoved with QQ and got called with A8o so lost my hand to a flush here is that hand if you want to see 628726254
    also if that was not bad enough i lost my full stack when i shoved with KK got 4 callers holding QQ 1010 and A10s which i again lost when the two who held 10 hit a straight.

    Been watching the show whilst playing the Primo, mini and the festival freeroll. I have written down in the 1st hour of the mini that I have taken 3 'heads' in the that so far. Now on the timed break, I opened up the lobby to find how much I have already won and to be smug at the thought it was now going to be a kind of freeroll for me now........

    ....then I realised it wasn't a bounty hunter! doh!

    Hi James, Jen and Dana!

    I've just left tonight's mini primo which you gave me free entry to in Thursday's show and it's not good I'm afraid.

    I needed to double up to get just above the average and decided to go all in with AK in the small blind after everyone before me folded. I got called by the big stack in the big blind who had A10 - Happy days, right?

    Nope! J, Q, 8 came out on the flop and then a 9 on the turn.

    Nevermind though, I managed to finish higher than both Scotty77 and Julian Thew and of course I got free entry.

    Thanks guys!

    Also, I'm not sure about the 3 players I WOULD have in my fantasy team but if Scotty and Thew can manage to do worse than me then I'm certainly not picking them. Or Tikay, he would talk my ear off!

    Thanks for showing my Q4 hand v AA guys . . . . . NOT :)

    I know it looked crazy but i havnt played that player much and wanted to see if he was capable of firing 3 bullets light etc, he loves to raise the button and had been raising alot in previous hands so i decided to see what he was made of on several tables at once by playing back at him.

    Anyways i got my answers . . . . . . About 10 minutes and £80 later he turned out to be a NIT and turned up with Aces or sets on all occasions lol . . . . . . ITS ALL ABOUT TIMING IN THIS GAME :)

    At least like you said James mate the advertising was priceless :)

    Great show by the way and i promise at some point i am gonna win a hand on here one day :)

    Cheers

    Daz.
