Play my hand requests - does anybody read them???

Enut

Posted a hand request a few days ago now, I haven't done so before but thought that losing with quads in a ME was maybe worthy of being shown. No comments not even a post after it, does anybody read them ? I posted in BBV too and only got one comment. Maybe losing with quads is more of a regular event than I thought??

I think it's more that they want hands where there's a discussion to be had, or people are looking for advice. Just watching someone get it in AA v KK for instance, makes for pretty boring TV.

If you lost with quads then you probably did nothing wrong/right the hand would have played itself therefore there isnt much to be said about it. It's best to post hands that you had no idea how to play rather than just bad beats

just looked at the hand

set over set

which improves to quads over quads

no real poker involved so no reason to show on the tele

but to you, 

sure losing with quads is so sick

so definitely one for bbv

what is ultra sick for you to know is that there are live casinos that would have paid you £10,000++ if you had been playing live cash at the time.

BAD BEAT JACKPOT

The Bad Beat Jackpot can be won by anyone playing in a dealer-dealt Texas Hold'em cash game. The jackpot is won if your losing hand is a FOUR TWO’s or better at showdown.

Our first Bad Beat Jackpot was hit in December 2010 with the total standing at £222,335. Since then it has been won on several occasions with the prize money totalling over £650,000

Must be the only time ever where you make quads and are desperately praying you get beat lol.

I can assure you that every email to the show is read by the production team.  As others have said, sometimes its not about the huge cooler hands but ones that can have a good talking point.

Hi ENUT,

The staff at the TV Channel do not monitor the "regular" Forum to see these Posts. If you want a hand to be considered for TV coverage, please send it by e-Mail (including the Hand ID) to skyopen@bskyb.com

Alternativey, post it on a Show Thread - the TV crew monitor those, & those alone.

As far as I recall, it can ONLY be shown if it occured on a Table or Tourney which includes the TV Icon.
 
Unlucky with the hand, but that's part of the attraction of poker, these occasional car crash hands. Hopefully we are the right side of them just as often as the wrong side.

Thanks for your replies guys. I appreciate that it wasn't really a 'discussion hand' but as a bad beat it was pretty spectacular, hence I thought it might have been worth watching on TV or would have at least got more than one comment on the BBV thread! I also know that on some sites it could have won me quite a lot of money, ho hum there you go!
