Tonight's live Turbo Tuesday Sky Poker TV show with Rich and Tikay ***official show thread***

RICHORFORD

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads...

Yes, we're back with a bang with another

LIVE show tonight on Sky Poker TV Channel 861.

We start at 7. We stay till it's Wednesday. And of course this ain't no ordinary Tuesday- it's a jacked-up, piston-pumping... 

Get to that start line as quick as you can and don't spare the horses- we've got live coverage of tonight's main event -the £4k Turbo Open.

Coverage commences at 8 and will continue through to midnight with a one hour Mastercash sesh in between, from 10-11pm.

And leading up to the kick-off, we'll bring you the highlights from Sunday night's SuperRoller final table. That's from 7-8pm.

Now, last time, I was paired with someone for the very first time- Joe Stapleton. Tonight could not be any more different. In our 300th pairing (this is not an exaggeration by the way folks) it's...

Richard and Tikay

Sorry kids- the truth is out. Tikay IS Father Christmas.

Which has got me thinking- what do you think all the presenters and analysts on Channel 861 would be doing in a different life if they hadn't become poker presenters and analysts?

What sort of career or job would suit each one of us down to a tee?

Send 'em in! No prizes, it's just for fun and the chance to get your genius effort read out on air. (Although I am trying to persuade our tight producer to relinquish a couple of spot prizes- watch this space.)

Stick your suggestions on here, via email skyopen@bskyb.com, or tweet them #skypokertv

And of course we'd love to hear from you about everything else. We'll take hand requests from the big event and, whether you're playing or not, we always welcome your questions and banter so send in all that too.

So, see you tonight, ready for 5 hours of live poker silliness and please run well in the main event. You owe it to yourself. 

And always remember...

I'd be selling meat pies in the Birmingham Road End. Reserves, indeed...

Nice start- more please!

Sarah would make a good radio presenter ! :-)

Thewy would be a athlete because he just runs so well.

Carlo would run a chain of tanning salons.

Tikay would be a UN Ambassador (if he can put up with Poker players' whining then he could sort out the worlds problems).

and as for Mr Orford,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  well there's no hope really ! (only kidding Rich) :-)

I refuse on principle to be Tikay's assistant. He is MY assistant. Terms and conditions apply.

Richard & Tikay would still be a pairing IMO. I think a series like 'Richard & Tony rejuvenate old railway buildings'

The other TV couple, James & Joe, would be USA soccer commentators.

Anna & Sarah would  be cheer leaders at Wembley.

Carlos would be a time share salesman in Benidorm.

Julian Thew & Reds would be oil millionaires after trying their luck drilling in Norwich.

Ha! All very realistic, except the girls being cheerleaders! I'll leave you to explain that one to them at the next SPT, Alan. I'll be hiding in the back room as you do so.

RICHORFORD

15 minutes to go. See you at 7 and keep those suggestions and hand requests coming in. Confirmation that we have spot prizes too!

karlluke

I couldnot ask for any better presenters.  I usually go out on tuesdays but i have sent the whole family away so am relaxing at home playing poker with no interruptions.

Wilhelm

Tikay would be a fashion designer

James would be in telesales

Sarah would be a professional dog walker

Richard would drive an ice cream van

I don't know why, just got a feeling.

Good show lads, looking forward to seeing you both in Birmingham.

Hi Rich and Tk.

Simple question and open to all. What has happened to showdown?  I was recently playing live and I called a bet after the river, I turned my cards over and he mucked his, I asked the dealer that I wanted to see the cards as I had called to see them, after this I was vilified for the rest of the night. I see this all the time live and on tv , surely the answer is in the show bit, your input please

Wilhelm

Best not to read too much into my earlier post.  They were the first four jobs that came into my mind.  I did think James' was quite apt though.

Flatcapper

I guess more improtantly was my play correct?

hi both again 
wasn't upset just wanted to know the rules

unknown_username

Hi, Tikay.I said I'm hoping better hoping better times are just around the corner for both Portsmouth and Plymouth Argyle because they have both come within inches of going out of existence recently due to the financial incompetence of our former owners. Thankfully both of us have survived albeit in the lowest division.

Enjoying the show as usual although I'll have to skyplus  it from 9.30 as I work a night shift.

Cheers

Ian

I have seen someone insist they see the cards that were about to be mucked, and hey ho the person misread their hand and won the chips.  went on to thank the chap for not letting him muck.

zzr

thanks rich lol

BorinLoner

Swiftly donked myself out of the turbo and mini for another week, just as usual. Now I've got time to post properly on here.


Good evening gents.

I was semi-listening earlier and Tikay said something about thinking I'm interesting. Thanks for that Tikay... at least I know there's one.

If you want a hand to criticise me for/help me out with, here's one from the main:


#657752432

I made a pig's ear of that. Should I have just flat-called pre-flop? I probably should be shoving the turn with the double-gut shot. *sigh* I'm so bad.

Thanks for that. Hope everything is going well for you.

EnArr

Thank you for that. I think I'm generally not aggressive enough whilst playing tournaments. I checked to him on the flop because he had raised pre-flop. 

BorinLoner

God that hand's bad... I'm embarrassed...
