Tonight's live TV show with Rich and Reds: THE PRIMO!

edited September 2013 in Poker Chat

We're on for another live show tonight on Channel 861!


And tonight is the big 'un!

 

It's...

 

THE £10K PRIMO!

 

 

Here's your hosts: 


Richard 'Top Trump' Orford 




and yes, those scores are out of 100.

and Redmond 'Breaking Bad' Lee







And here's your show...

 
Live Mastercash coverage from 7pm and live action from the main event: the £10K Primo
 from 8pm.


Simple as!


Get all your banter, questions, hand requests etc. etc to us either on this thread, via email skyopen@bskyb.com or via Twitter#skypoker

And also complete the sentence...

Poker satisfies my..?

Here's some that I think might apply to some people...

...my wish to keep my brain sharp
...my gambling side
...my wish to show off in front of strangers
...my total nerdiness with stats
...my need for a social life
....my wish to do mental arithmetic
....my wish to be able to lie to people and get away with it.
...my competitive streak
...my enjoyment of being on computers
...my need to the best

etc etc.

Maybe one of these applies to you? Tell us about it. Or- come up with your own answer. I'll read out all your messages on the show tonight.

See you later and good luck in the main!

    very good. most of the below hit the mark

    Poker satisfies my..

    ...my wish to keep my brain sharp YES
    ...my gambling side X
    ...my wish to show off in front of strangers YES
    ...my total nerdiness with stats YES
    ...my need for a social life YES
    ...my wish to do mental arithmetic YES
    ...my wish to be able to lie to people and get away with it. YES
    ...my competitive streak YES
    ...my enjoyment of being on computers X
    ...my need to (be) the best YES

    but critically I need to make sure my guilty pleasure in life is one that is family friendly. who can be tempted to stray for sex, drugs and rock & roll when a night of poker is so much more fun (although not sure my wife realises how lucky she is)

    yes all the sad ones coming back from spt not making the second day.  good luck to all the rest.  My luck came to an end yesterday when i shoved with a9 on the big blind and he calls with q 10 clubls and flops the royal flush.
    still to complete the sentence 
    poker satisfies my need to compete.

    Good evening Mr Orford

    Poker satisfies my expensive, designer handbag problem.

    This dis-pleases Mr Bromley greatly.

    sad - speak for yourself.

    i admit i was a little miffed but at least we were there. just think what it must be like for those who couldn't go at all - that is sad - what do you think, Rich?

    Poker satisfies my inner masochist's need to have 4 hours of optimism dashed by 1 stupid move or piece of luck
    Poker also satisfies my need to declare "never again" after every game

    Hi Rich and Remond

    Great show. Please show this hand from 29th August ID no. 685103426.  Did I do the right thing by folding or was I just bluffed off the pot?

    Hi Rich,

    Here's a hand frmo mastercash if you're looking for some

    Hand History #687161351 (13:11 05/09/2013)

    This was a 6max table and had only recently started to break so we were playing HU. What does redmond think about the call down? I didn't think he would take this line of 3betting, then check/raising that board with any value hands. Once I make that decision is the call down standard given the runout?

    Rich couple more you missed.

     Ang Lee(director)
     Christopher Lee
     Brandon Lee.

     Am sure are more as well

    hi guys, enjoying the show, thanks for the analysis

    as for the river bet - yes normally i would check. what was swaying me to raise was the unusual 4x utg open.

    i decided, incorrectly, that it was a hand he wanted to protect such as AK or a medium pair, which he would be nervous playing oop if he missed the flop. the call on flop & turn made a pp most likely. and my only hope to get any more money was if he thought i had missed a flush so i repped it and hoped he would tilt-call. not likely i know but thought i'd give it a try. makes sense?

  • edited September 2013
    here is a hand from the mini primo, just wondering if i maybe should have called the 3 bet with it being early, or does redmond think i can get away from the hand anyway at all, if so let me know

    Hi guys,

    Here's another mastercash hand... I check the turn to pot control and also to let him value bet weaker hands on the river. But then when the river comes a Q, it really reduces the number of worse value hands that he'd bet the river with. So I check the turn to call a river bet but on this river do you think I can fold cos he now won't bet JJ and QQ caught up?

    Hi richard 
    Yes mate I'm just back from spt, I live in Ayr in the south west of Scotland 3 hour drive from Newcastle.

    I saw a little old friend of yours on the Friday night call my all in  with jack ten off,, good bye tea cake.
    Then I was at the cash table and the wee man in question had a mountain of chips,
    BUT

    A hour later we had to call the floor to get a first aider to the table, as the wee old man was bleeding chips every where. 

    Thought you would like to hear this. He lost nearly all lololol

    Hi Richard and Red 

    Enjoying watching the show. Played my 1st SPT this weekend after winning a entry through £12 direct sat. Made it to 2 day, played only 1 hand against Slyklist and went out. Enjoyed the chat with Tikay and other Sky players. Good weekend!!

    Hoping to win a entry to Nottingham SPT, fingers crossed it goes well in the sats.
