Really enjoying the banter and analysis tonight
Just going back to what Neil said about his thought process reguarding Rob Yong when he had floped the str8 v Robs 2 pair.
If in that situation he knows Rob could have such a wide range that he has most prob missed or is very weak and Neil wants to give him a bit rope to try and extract more value how is it that in a later hand Neil lays down a str8 putting Rob on the 1 hand that has him beat.
Does Neil think he ended up leveling himself into thinking Rob "HAS TO HAVE IT HERE" ?
Could i also just add that imo Neil is one of the best cash players ive ever seen so although almost everyone watching the cash game was prob screaming "YOU CARNT FOLD TO ROB" my question is in no way a dig at Neils ability.
Cheers.

since wayne mardle uses hawaii-fiveO in darts. Neil, Redmond and Richard if you had to have enterance music to poker, what would you choose?
Great to see Neil back on the show, Neil probably wont remember but chatted for a bit in Vegas at the end of one of the days of the main event while Neil was waiting for Kevin Williams.
Questions for Neil
What are your thoughts on bum hunting in cash and its effect on the long term poker economy? By this I dont mean table selection which makes sense, I mean players who only play when they have a massive edge over opponents.
Also, what are your views on the long term poker ecomomy of the sun glasses and head phones MTT brigade?
Matt
I know you really want your first WSOP bracelet, so if you were HU in a WSOP event and a potential deal was on the table for you to take 'the win' (and bracelet) what % of cash would you concede for it, or as nice as a bracelet is, is the money more important?
OR would it be meaningless to you without having actually earned the win yourself?
Hey guys, just in, but have skyplussed tonights show...
Just a quick question, during the show Neil hut a diamond flush 3 times against rasta, when rasta was sitting with good hands 2x2pair, and trips. In another hand Carlo Citrone has 2 pair and thought for ages before calling, opponent had a straight.
Loved the £995 you get change from a £1000!!
My question is, what is the best way to play a strong hand, but no where near the nuts, like 2 pair or a set when there is 3 cards to a flush out.
The other day, I had KQ , flop came 56K rainbow, i raised pre 4 x bb, opponent bet, i called, the turn came a queen, opponent bet 3/4 pot and i shipped, he snapped me off with trip 6s.
dont think I got an answer to my second question to Neil, would be good to get the younger players view on it too...just to clarify that is Redmond and not you Rich!
I've always wondered why people seem so reluctant to make themselves at home. It's a five hour show and you're sat on a sofa - I'd have my feet up with a pillow and maybe a duvet and half way through I'd have my dinner on my lap.
Anyway, I'd just like to pick up on something Neil just said about Rastafish's 67 of spades hand, calling in the small blind against Rob Yong:
I post on the forum quite alot. I find that even some of the better players don't seem to give enough credit to the importance of position. They know that position is important but still make calls out of position very much like that one from Rastafish - the idea being that they can flop a big hand and stack their opponent - but they don't consider that their opponent's pre-flop raising range may not be very narrow so they can't stack them often enough. Even if they hit their hand, it's really difficult to get value out of position.
In a slightly circuitous manner, the question I'm asking is; do you gents think that, as I hear so often, "pre-flop play is largely solved" amongst most decent players?
Thanks for all your posts and emails tonight. They were all great. And normally I would have read out every single one of them, but we had in Neil Channing! Which meant that I could only fit in so many questions amongst the hands because he talks so much!
Of course Neil and Reds were both fantastic on the show this evening and I hope you enjoyed the questions they did answer!
Cheers!
Redmond and Neil are definitely 2 of the best guests/analysts that appear on 861... and you aint too bad yourself
hope you get to do more shows like that
cheers
