Sky Poker TV Live: next show this Tuesday with Richard Orford, Redmond Lee and Neil Channing!
I have a brain so am pretty sure I can imagine your response to this but I'll ask it anyway 
... Neil, what do you think of the segregation of players by ability/winrate etc?

Time to talk TV and I'm being called straight into action this week off the back of the weekend's big SPT event. (Enjoyed seeing a fair few of you down in London by the way).
What's the story? Well, we've got a very special show lined up for you this Tuesday night from 7 on Channel 861 and streamed from this site...
It's THE CASH GAME....RELOADED.
Yes, we're bringing you all the key hands from the hugely successful Sky Poker Cash Game series and in the studio to pass comment will be myself, Richard Orford...
..and our very special guest: the inimitable Neil Channing!
Does Neil believe he has transferable skills from poker that could help competitors in other sporting disciplines?
I'm referring to the cash game where a few chosen words improved Carlo's speed out of the blocks significantly!
It must have been, either Neils banter or blatant laxative abuse that caused Carlo's rapid exit from the table!
I've heard of players chasing runs but never seen it displayed in such a manner! lol
With Channing on the show its bound to be TV gold Tuesday! Have a great show
Want both views!
Why do people limp in DYMs instead of raising as in a SNG or MTT!
a question for you all to answer please, with the spt over, do you prefer to play live or on-line? also which is more profitable to you? as the bigger money will allways be live, but the volume you can get on-line is endless.
also with ukops starting thursday, what if any tornements are you looking forward to the most.
have a great show guys

Question 4 Neil AND Redmond which nation do you think are the best at tournaments.
And which nation do you think are the worst.
I think Enlish players are the better players, and more entertaining 2 watch.
Congratulations on tilting Carlo on the Sky poker cash game Neil.
All the best Rainman397
Question for Neil:
As a businessman what would you think if the UK needed a bailout (like Cyprus) and the Government suggested taking 25% from your bank account?
(that's assuming you have your money in the UK!) lol
Have a good one

i had a great time at my 1st spt..no cash this time but i was in for £2.35 so i was freerolling anyway.
great to meet the sky team and thank you for the photo's everyone...(shiney foreheads take 2 ring a bell richard).
and playing in same tourny as the pro's was fantastic,,now cant wait for the sats to dublin to start.
on to my question for all of you......
on saturday anna was to shy to speak to phil helmuth,is there anyone you 3 would love to meet in the world of poker?
cheers boys and see you in dublin.
Annual 'what is going to win the Grand National?' question for Neil plz.
Also when is he playing Maccapacca heads up, and how confident is he of victory?
What time will mastercash be on tonight plz? ty.
Keep them coming please!

Question for Neil please...
... we know someone who once won an SPT Side event years ago (let's call him 'R.O.' to preserve his anonymity) and he goes on and on and on about it...
... how long do you think he can live off this past 'glory' before it gets old hat?
A more serious question for Neil regarding the cash game...
... you had a few big hands against Rastafish where he'd hit fairly good hands (e.g. two pair) and you hit your flush on the river. This happened more than once, so...
... do you think that the fact you'd hit flushes previous hands he thought you might be 'at it' on the subsequent ones? Making him doubt you'd hit a flush again.
Did this therefore affect how you played the hands too?
Good evening gentlemen.
There is a question that I've always wanted to ask of someone like Mr Channing who plays an awful lot of televised poker:
Mr Channing, do you ever take umbrage at something a commentator might say about you or your play and have you ever sought one of those commentators out? Could this be the reason that James Hartigan isn't in the studio this evening?
If not, do you have any good stories about someone else taking issue with a commentator?
Have a good show everyone.
(Nice to have some proper grown-ups in the studio tonight. You wouldn't believe what those other two were tittering about on Sunday's show. It was just a chair in an unfortunate position)
On the Rob Yong (5d6d) v Rastafish (Ah4d) with the four diamond board.
When Rob Yong bets 50 on the river, would either Redmond or Neil like Rastafish to raise there? Does the 4-high flush have enough value for Rastafish to call or would he do better to raise it up and put Mr Yong under pressure? Would it have enough chance of working against Rob?
Thanks for the answer to my previous question.
Edit: just caught another one. I just picked it up and chucked it out the back door. No fear, these mice.
question for you.... what fashion tips would you give rastafish?
thoroughly enjoyed the cash game..great fun and plenty to learn from how you bigger players handle the game.
have fun
